The CD74HCT164MG4 is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the 74HCT series of high-speed CMOS devices. It is a 8-bit serial-in parallel-out shift register, widely used in various digital applications. This highly efficient IC operates on a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V, making it suitable for use in both TTL and CMOS systems. Let's dive into the key features and functionalities of the CD74HCT164MG4:
1. 8-bit Serial-In Parallel-Out Shift Register: The CD74HCT164MG4 acts as a shift register that sequentially stores and transfers 8 bits of data. Data is inputted one bit at a time through a single data line, making it practical for serial data communication applications.
2. High-Speed Operation: With an HCT designation, this IC offers fast operation speeds compared to its TTL counterparts. The CD74HCT164MG4 has a maximum clock frequency of 34 MHz, facilitating efficient data transfer in time-critical applications.
3. Parallel Data Output: Once all 8 bits have been shifted in, the CD74HCT164MG4 offers parallel data output capability. This means that all the inputted data bits can be simultaneously accessed at the respective parallel output pins of the IC
