74HC595

Various (Texas Instruments, NXP, STMicroelectronics, etc.)

Logic - Shift Registers

8-bit serial-in, serial or parallel-out shift register with output latches.

The 74HC595 is an 8-bit serial-in, serial or parallel-out shift register with a storage register and 3-state outputs. The shift register and storage register have separate clocks, allowing data to be shifted in while maintaining the current output state.

Supply Voltage:

2V - 6V

Package:

16-pin DIP

Max Frequency:

100.0 MHz

Key Features

8-bit serial input
8-bit serial or parallel output
Storage register with parallel 3-state outputs
Shift register has direct clear
Output registers have direct clear
100 MHz typical clock frequency
Low power consumption

Applications

Serial-to-parallel data conversion
LED displays and indicators
Relay drivers
Microcontroller I/O expansion
Cascadable for more outputs

Notes

Multiple devices can be cascaded by connecting QH to the SER input of the next chip. Data is shifted in on the rising edge of SRCLK and transferred to the output register on the rising edge of RCLK.
