The 74HC164DB,112 is a popular integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the 74HC family of high-speed CMOS logic devices. It is commonly used as a shift register, which allows serial-in parallel-out (SIPO) data conversion. Here is an overview of the key features of the 74HC164DB,112:
1. Serial-In Parallel-Out: The IC takes input serial data and converts it into parallel data at the output pins. It has a serial data input pin (DS) and eight parallel data output pins (Q0-Q7).
2. 8-bit Register: The IC features an 8-bit register that can store data internally. This register allows data transfer in a cascading manner, making it suitable for applications requiring multiple shift registers chained together.
3. High-Speed Operation: The 74HC series ICs are known for their high-speed operation. This specific IC can operate at a maximum clock frequency of up to 90 MHz, enabling rapid data transfer and processing.
4. Schmitt-Trigger Inputs: The IC incorporates Schmitt-trigger inputs, which enhance the noise immunity and provide better input signal stability. This feature is particularly useful in noisy environments or when dealing with weak input signals.
5. Wide Operating Voltage Range: The IC supports a wide operating voltage range of 2V to 6V, making it compatible with various logic families and allowing flexibility in different voltage supply configurations
