The IC component 54LS164DMQB is a 14-pin, 8-bit serial-in/parallel-out shift register, widely used in digital electronics. It is a member of the 54LS logic family, known for its high-performance characteristics and compatibility with other logic ICs. This component offers some key features that make it popular in various applications.
The 54LS164DMQB integrates an 8-bit shift register, which allows data to be shifted in serially and outputted in parallel format. This functionality is useful in applications where data needs to be stored temporarily or transferred between different parts of a system. It can also be utilized in applications such as LED displays, keyboard scanning, and data communication systems.
One of the notable features of the 54LS164DMQB is its synchronous operation. It includes an internal clock that controls the shifting and parallel loading of data. This synchronicity ensures reliable and accurate data transfer, making it suitable for applications that require precise timing.
The component also offers a serial input pin (SI) and a serial output pin (SO) that allow for cascading multiple shift registers together to create longer shift registers. This cascading feature enables easy expansion of the number of bits, making it adaptable for applications requiring larger data storage or transfer capabilities.
In addition, the 54LS164DMQB is equipped with parallel output pins (Q0-Q7) that provide the ability to simultaneously output all the stored data in a parallel format
