The DM74HC164N is an 8-bit serial-in, parallel-out shift register manufactured by Fairchild/ON Semiconductor. This device belongs to the High-Speed CMOS (HC) logic family, offering low power consumption and high noise immunity. It accepts serial data input and shifts it through the register upon each clock pulse, providing parallel outputs for all 8 bits.

Applications:

• Serial-to-Parallel Data Conversion
• Display Drivers
• Data Acquisition Systems
• Remote Control Systems
• LED Matrix Control

Features:

• 8-Bit Serial-In, Parallel-Out Shift Register
• High-Speed CMOS (HC) Logic
• Low Power Consumption
• High Noise Immunity
• Asynchronous Clear Input

Benefits:

• Simplified Serial-to-Parallel Conversion
• Low Power Operation
• High Noise Immunity
• Easy Interface to Microcontrollers
• Standard Logic Function

Additional Details:

The DM74HC164N operates from a wide voltage range, typically 2V to 6V. The asynchronous clear input allows for immediate resetting of the register. The device is generally available in a 14-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package). For detailed electrical characteristics, timing diagrams, and application notes, refer to the manufacturer's datasheet.
