The MC14106B is a four-stage shift register with two-stage output buffers from ON Semiconductor. The IC is housed in an 8-pin PDIP package and features a low-profile design, thereby allowing it to be used on high-density circuits. It features power-up and power-down reset capabilities, enabling it to switch between different operational states as desired. The shift register can be used to store digital information and can then be used to recall the information in the required order. The device also provides output buffers with high-level outputs for slower or low-current loads. This makes the MC14106B an ideal choice for use in applications such as frequency counters, addressable switches, and various logic operations.
