The BA823 and BA823F are 8-bit serial input, parallel output drivers. These monolithic ICs were developed as drivers for thermal printing heads, LED character displays, and other similar applications.

•Features
1) Can drive up to 200 mA.
2) Controlling the strobe terminal with the drive timing pulse enables current to be reduced when drive is not being carried out.
3) Using the data output terminal for the next data input enables cascade connections.
4) The digital ground and power ground are separated.
5) TTL and CMOS drive possible.

•Applications
Thermal printing head drivers
LED character display drivers
