The SN74HC164PWRE4 is an Integrated Circuit (IC) component that belongs to the SN74HC series, which is a high-speed CMOS logic family. This IC is a 8-bit serial-in, parallel-out shift register, which means it can take in data serially and then output it in parallel form.
Key features of the SN74HC164PWRE4 include:
1. High-Speed Operation: The SN74HC164PWRE4 supports high-speed clock frequencies, making it suitable for applications that require rapid data transfer.
2. Serial Input: It has a single serial input pin (SI) through which data is fed into the shift register bit-by-bit. This serial input allows for easy interfacing with other components or microcontrollers.
3. Parallel Output: The shift register has 8 parallel output pins (Q0-Q7) that output the data in parallel form after it has been shifted through the register.
4. Schmitt-Trigger Action: The IC incorporates Schmitt-trigger inputs to provide hysteresis in order to improve noise immunity and input signal filtering.
5. Asynchronous Reset: It includes an active low asynchronous reset input pin (MR) that allows you to clear the shift register content at any time.
6. Wide Operating Voltage Range: The SN74HC164PWRE4 supports a wide range of power supply voltages, from 2V to 6V. This feature makes it versatile and compatible with various systems
