74HCT164D IC 8BIT SHIFT REGISTER 14-SOIC 74HCT164 SMD

The 74HCT164D is an 8-bit serial-in, parallel-out (SIPO) shift register integrated circuit, packaged in a 14-SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) for surface mount device (SMD) applications. This device is designed for applications requiring serial-to-parallel data conversion, data delay, or general-purpose storage in compact electronic designs. Its high-speed CMOS technology ensures fast and reliable operation, while its TTL-compatible inputs allow for easy interfacing with other logic families. The 74HCT164D is commonly used in LED display drivers, data communication systems, and control circuits where space is a premium. Its small size and ease of use make it a popular choice for modern electronic devices.

This shift register features two serial data inputs (A and B) and eight parallel outputs (Q0-Q7). Data is shifted into the register on the rising edge of the clock signal. The two serial inputs are ANDed together, meaning that both inputs must be high for a high level to be shifted into the register. The clear input (CLR) allows the register to be reset to all zeros. The 74HCT164D's parallel outputs provide access to all eight bits of the stored data simultaneously, making it easy to interface with other devices. Its high fan-out capability allows it to drive multiple loads without significant signal degradation, even in densely populated circuit boards.

The 74HCT164D finds applications in a wide range of digital systems, particularly those where space is limited. This includes portable devices, handheld instruments, and embedded systems. In LED display drivers, it can be used to convert serial data from a microcontroller into parallel data to drive multiple LEDs in a compact display. In data communication interfaces, it can be used to receive serial data from a remote device and convert it into parallel data for processing in a small form factor. Its versatility and ease of use make it a valuable component for miniaturized electronic designs.

Key specifications of the 74HCT164D include a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V, a low quiescent current, and a high output drive capability. Its operating temperature range spans from -40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for use in a wide range of environmental conditions. The device's inputs are protected against electrostatic discharge (ESD), ensuring reliable operation even in harsh environments. The 14-SOIC package is ideal for surface mount assembly, allowing for efficient use of board space. Its robust design and high-performance characteristics make it an excellent choice for both prototyping and high-volume production.

In conclusion, the 74HCT164D IC shift register offers a versatile and reliable solution for a wide range of serial-to-parallel data conversion and storage applications, especially in space-constrained designs. Its TTL-compatible inputs, clear input, and parallel outputs make it a valuable addition to any digital system.
