SN74HC164N PDIP-14 Counter Shift Register IC

Description

1. 8-Bit Shift Register: The SN74HC164N has an 8-bit shift register that can store and shift 8 bits of data.
2. Serial Input: Data is shifted into the register one bit at a time via the Serial Input (SER) pin.
3. Parallel Output: The 8 bits of data can be read in parallel from the Q0 to Q7 output pins.
4. Serial Output: Some variants of the 74HC164 IC also have a Serial Output (Q7′) pin, which can be used for cascading multiple shift registers.
5. High-Speed Operation: The “HC” in 74HC164 indicates that it’s a high-speed CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) device, which means it operates at a higher speed than standard CMOS logic.
