The 74LVC595APW,118 is a popular integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by NXP Semiconductors. This IC is a 8-bit serial-in, serial/parallel-out shift register with output latches. Here is an overview of its key features:
1. Serial Data Input: The IC has a single data input pin (SER) through which it accepts serial data for shifting.
2. Serial Output: It also provides a serial data output pin (Q7S) which can be connected to the input pin of another IC for cascading.
3. Parallel Output: The 74LVC595APW,118 offers eight parallel output pins (Q0-Q7) for simultaneous data output in parallel form.
4. Latch Enable: It includes an active-low latch enable (OE) input pin that controls the output latches, allowing the data to be held until desired.
5. Clock Input: The IC utilizes a clock input (SRCLK) for sequential shifting of the data bits.
6. Storage Register Clock Input: It has an input pin (RCLK) to latch the shifted data into the output latches.
7. Output Enable: The IC features an output enable (G) input pin, which, when set low, enables the functioning of the output pins.
8. Voltage Compatibility: The 74LVC595APW,118 operates under a wide voltage range, from 1.65V to 5
