Description of operation
BA823 is configured internally as shown in the block diagram. Terminals of clock C, data D1, and strobe S are used as input.
Data input is synchronized with the clock, read serially during the rise time and latched at the rise time edge of the shifted
shift register. The content of the set shift register appears on the output terminal of Ō0~ Ō7 when the strobe is input, as
shown in the time chart of Fig.5. Pulse width is the same as that of the strobe input pulse.
Data output terminal D0, is a terminal used for cascade connection of the IC, where the output of the final stage of the shift
register has appeared, and is connected to the next data input terminal D1. In this case, when the clock and the strobe are
used in conjunction, output terminal can be increased by 8 bits at a time.

Notes for use
1. Absolute maximum ratings
An excess in the absolute maximum ratings, such as supply voltage, temperature range of operating conditions, etc., can
break down the devices, thus making impossible to identify breaking mode, such as a short circuit or an open circuit.
If any over rated values will expect to exceed the absolute maximum ratings, consider adding circuit protection devices,
such as fuses.
2. Connecting the power supply connector backward
Connecting of the power supply in reverse polarity can damage IC. Take precautions when connecting the power supply
lines. An external direction diode can be added.
3. Power supply lines
Design PCB layout pattern to provide low impedance GND and supply lines. To obtain a low noise ground and supply line,
separate the ground section and supply lines of the digital and analog blocks. Furthermore, for all power supply terminals
to ICs, connect a capacitor between the power supply and the GND terminal. When applying electrolytic capacitors in the
circuit, not that capacitance characteristic values are reduced at low temperatures.
4. GND voltage
The potential of GND pin must be minimum potential in all operating conditions.
5. Inter-pin shorts and mounting errors
Use caution when positioning the IC for mounting on printed circuit boards. The IC may be damaged if there is any
connection error or if pins are shorted together.
6. Actions in strong electromagnetic field
Use caution when using the IC in the presence of a strong electromagnetic field as doing so may cause the IC to
malfunction.
7. Testing on application boards
When testing the IC on an application board, connecting a capacitor to a pin with low impedance subjects the IC to stress.
Always discharge capacitors after each process or step. Always turn the IC's power supply off before connecting it to or
removing it from a jig or fixture during the inspection process. Ground the IC during assembly steps as an antistatic
measure. Use similar precaution when transporting or storing the IC.
8. Regarding input pin of the IC
This monolithic IC contains P+ isolation and P substrate layers between adjacent elements in order to keep them isolated.
P-N junctions are formed at the intersection of these P layers with the N layers of other elements, creating a parasitic diode
or transistor. For example, the relation between each potential is as follows:
When GND > Pin A and GND > Pin B, the P-N junction operates as a parasitic diode.
When GND > Pin B, the P-N junction operates as a parasitic transistor.
Parasitic diodes can occur inevitable in the structure of the IC. The operation of parasitic diodes can result in mutual
interference among circuits, operational faults, or physical damage. Accordingly, methods by which parasitic diodes
operate, such as applying a voltage that is lower than the GND (P substrate) voltage to an input pin, should not be used.
9. Ground Wiring Pattern
When using both small signal and large current GND patterns, it is recommended to isolate the two ground patterns,
placing a single ground point at the ground potential of application so that the pattern wiring resistance and voltage
variations caused by large currents do not cause variations in the small signal ground voltage. Be careful not to change the
GND wiring pattern of any external components, either.
