Abstract
A serial-to-parallel converter has a number of memory cells connected in series for successively shifting input data in synchronism with a shift clock. The content of each memory cell is transferred by a latch circuit. The memory cells are provided with input terminals so that they can be set to '1' or '0' simultaneously before the entry of input data. This resetting, or presetting, reduces the number of reversals of the output polarity of the memory cells and hence the power consumed by the circuit can be diminished.
