The 74AHCT164PW112 is an integrated circuit (IC) component that is widely used in various electronic devices and applications. It is a 8-bit serial-in, parallel-out shift register, which means it can store and shift 8 bits of data. The IC is manufactured by Nexperia, a well-known semiconductor manufacturer.
One of the key features of the 74AHCT164PW112 is its compatibility with both CMOS and TTL logic levels. This makes it suitable for interfacing with a wide range of digital devices. The IC operates at a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V, with a maximum input voltage of 6V. It consumes very low power, making it energy-efficient and ideal for battery-powered devices.
The 74AHCT164PW112 has an asynchronous clear input (CLR), which allows the user to reset the shift register to its initial state. It also has a serial data input (SER), which is used to input data bit by bit. The register is shifted by a positive edge-triggered clock input (CLK), allowing synchronized data transfer. The parallel data outputs (Q0 to Q7) provide the stored data in parallel form.
This IC is equipped with Schmitt-trigger inputs, which provide hysteresis to improve noise immunity and ensure reliable operation in noisy environments
