Using HEF4094 Shift Registers with Arduino
I have many seven segment modules in my hand. Each module consists of 5 digits and each digit is controlling by individual HEF4094 shift register. As shown in figure above is the seven segment module.
HEF4094 is an 8-stage serial shift register. Data is shifted on the LOW-to-HIGH transitions of the CP (Clock) input. The product data sheet is available here.
HEF4094 operates over a recommended VDD power supply range of 3 V to 15 V referenced to VSS (usually ground). There is also 74HC4094 available which operates at 2V to 6V.
