74HC595DB,118

The 74HC595DB,118 is an 8-bit serial-in, parallel-out shift register with an output latching feature, manufactured by Nexperia. This integrated circuit (IC) is part of the 74HC series of high-speed CMOS logic devices, designed for digital logic applications. The 74HC595DB,118 allows data to be shifted in serially on the data input line, and then latched and output in parallel through the Q0-Q7 output lines.

Key Features:

• 8-bit Shift Register: Provides an 8-bit shift register function for shifting data in serially and outputting it in parallel.
• Output Latching: Includes an output latch that holds the current output state until the next latching cycle, ensuring stable outputs.
• High-Speed CMOS Logic: Utilizes high-speed CMOS technology for fast operation and low power consumption.
• Serial Data Input: Data is shifted in serially through the data input line (DS) on each clock cycle.
• Parallel Data Output: Data is output in parallel through the Q0-Q7 output lines after being shifted in.
• Clear Input: Provides a clear input (MR) to reset all the outputs to a low state (0).
• Clock and Latch Control: Uses separate clock (SH_CP) and latch (ST_CP) control inputs for shifting and latching data.
• Package: Typically available in a small SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, suitable for surface mount technology (SMT) designs.

Applications:

• LED Display Drivers: Ideal for driving LED displays and controlling multiple LEDs with fewer microcontroller pins.
• Digital Interface: Useful in digital interfaces where serial data needs to be converted to parallel data.
• Microcontroller Expansion: Can be used to expand the number of output pins available to a microcontroller.
• Memory Addressing: Suitable for memory addressing applications where data needs to be latched and maintained.
