The 74AHC164PW,118 is a popular Integrated Circuit (IC) component manufactured by NXP Semiconductors. It belongs to the 74AHC family of high-speed CMOS logic devices. This IC is a shift register with a serial input and parallel output, designed to simplify data transfer between systems.
Here are some key features of the 74AHC164PW,118:
1. High-Speed Operation: The IC operates at very high speeds compared to traditional logic devices. It allows for fast data transfer and processing.
2. Shift Register Functionality: The main function of this IC is to provide serial-to-parallel data conversion. It has a serial input pin where data can be serially shifted in, and eight parallel output pins that can simultaneously output the converted data in parallel format.
3. Schmitt-trigger Action on All Inputs: The IC's inputs are equipped with Schmitt-trigger action, which allows for better noise immunity and improved signal integrity. This makes it suitable for applications that may experience high noise or signal fluctuations.
4. Asynchronous Reset: The 74AHC164PW,118 provides an asynchronous reset input, which allows the user to reset the device to a known state regardless of the clock input. This feature can be useful for initializing the register or clearing unwanted data.
5. Low Power Consumption: The IC is designed to consume low power, making it suitable for battery-powered applications or situations where power efficiency is important
