SN74LS164N is an 8-bit serial-in, parallel-out shift register integrated circuit (IC) from the 74LS series (Low-power Schottky TTL). It allows serial data input and provides parallel outputs for 8 bits.
Key Features:
8-bit shift register: Can store and shift 8 bits of data.
Serial-in, parallel-out (SIPO): Data is shifted in one bit at a time on the clock pulse and available simultaneously on the 8 parallel outputs.
Dual serial inputs (A & B): Inputs are ANDed internally for data entry.
Positive-edge-triggered: Shifts data on the rising edge of the clock signal.
Asynchronous clear (CLR): Allows immediate reset of all outputs to LOW, regardless of the clock.
TTL logic levels: Compatible with other 74LS series devices.
Typical applications: Serial-to-parallel data conversion, LED displays, pattern generators, digital signal processing, and data storage/shifting in digital circuits.
