Multiplexer

Does anyone have any suggestions for what is a good multiplexer for
use with a BS2? I have a 4067B but I don't have it working yet,
meaning that I can sink B, C, D, /E, and pin 1 to ground, pulse A and
get no output from out 1. The idea is to control 65 to 65 solid state
relays from one BS2 using the multiplexers in 4 groups.

    Chuck, you can drive up to eight 595 shift registers with a BS2. That will
    give you 64 outputs. I use the same system, and I have the 595s driving
    ULN2803
    8-channel Darlingtons, which will sink 500ma per channel.

    It may be a bit simplistic ... but my favorite way to add a bunch of outputs
    to the BS2 is with the 74HC595 (serial-in/parallel-out shift register). It
    takes just three lines (data, clock and latch) to control it and it can be
    daisy-chained. I'm not sure that you can put eight in a chain, but it would
    be worth looking into.

    Also, Allegro MicroSystems www.allegromicro.com has
    serial-in/parallel-out shift registers with 32 outputs in a single
    chip. Sorry I don't have part numbers, but if they can be daisy-chained,
    would give you the 64 outputs with only two I.C.'s.

    Have a look,

    Tim

    First, I would like to say a belated thanks to the
    ones who responded to my question. Now, moving on,
    I was able to finally get the 4067b multiplexer
    working
    and I picked up a 74HC595 and tried the experiment
    from the Stampworks book with success also. My
    questions is, if a daisy chain multiple IC's together,
    how do I address the out puts individually, say, to
    turn on output 2 on the second chip? This one has me
    kinda stumped!

    Tie all the clock and latch lines together. Shiftout all your data - one
    byte per 595 - to the first 595 in the string then pulse the latch.

    Allegro has a 32-bit shift register - A6818SA.
