The MC74ACT323M is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the MC74ACT series. It is a high-speed, dual 8-bit universal shift/storage register designed for general-purpose serial data storage or parallel-to-serial/serial-to-parallel data conversion.
This IC chip is manufactured using advanced silicon-gate CMOS technology, enabling it to operate at a high-speed with low power consumption. It is commonly used in various applications such as data routing, pattern recognition, data synchronization, and serial/parallel data conversion.
Key features of the MC74ACT323M include:
1. Dual 8-bit Universal Shift/Storage Register: It incorporates two individual 8-bit shift registers, allowing users to perform parallel loading, parallel unloading, serial shifting/feeding, and serial retrieving of data.
2. High-Speed Operation: With its ACT (Advanced CMOS Technology) design, this IC component can operate at high speed, enabling speedy data manipulation and processing.
3. 3-State Outputs: The MC74ACT323M offers three-state outputs for both the parallel and serial data outputs. This feature allows multiple devices to be connected in a bus structure, where data can be shared without conflicts.
4. Schmitt Trigger Input: The inputs of this IC have Schmitt trigger characteristics. This ensures better noise immunity and reduces the chance of false triggering due to input noise or voltage fluctuations
