Notes on Cascading IC 74595

Introduction

  • Previous video covered basics of IC 74595.
  • Ensure to watch the basic video before proceeding with this lecture.

Key Points for Cascading IC 74595

  • Required Pins for Cascading: Pin numbers 9, 11, 12, and 14.
  • Using three ICs for demonstration.

Pin Connections

First IC Connections

  • Pin 8 and 13: Connect to Ground.
  • Pin 10 and 16: Connect to +VCC.
  • Pin 14: Data In.
  • Pin 9: Serial Out.

Cascading Connections

  • Connect Serial Out to Next IC:
    • Pin 9 of 1st IC to Pin 14 of 2nd IC.
    • Pin 9 of 2nd IC to Pin 14 of 3rd IC.
  • Pin 11 (Shift Register Clock) and Pin 12 (Storage Register Clock): Connect all together.

Practical Implementation

  • Adding two more ICs to have a total of 24 outputs (8 outputs per IC).
  • LED Connections:
    • Negative pin of LEDs connected to the negative rail.
    • Pin Connections:
      • Pin 10 and 16 to positive rail.
      • Pin 8 and 13 to negative rail.

Data Input and Control

  • Data provided to the first IC through Pin 14.
  • Pull-down resistor not needed as the pin is connected to the IC.
  • Connection of Pins:
    • Pin 11 and 12 connected to respective clocks.

LED Output Connections

  • Output Mapping:
    • LED 1 to IC1 (Pin 15).
    • LED 9 to IC2 (Pin 15).
    • LED 17 to IC3 (Pin 15).
    • Continue mapping until LED 24.

Final Steps

  • Connect +5V and Ground to the circuit.
  • Previous video discussed how to push data into the IC.

Demonstration

  • Set initial data to zero and make some bits high (1).
  • Push five ones into the IC and observe the LEDs lighting up.
  • Push zeros to see the shifting effect in action.
