SN74LS164 Product Overview

The SN74LS164 from ON Semiconductor is a high-performance, 8-bit serial-in, parallel-out shift register that is designed to provide efficient and reliable operation in a wide range of digital applications. This integrated circuit (IC) is part of the 74LS logic family, which is well-known for its low power consumption and high-speed capabilities.

The SN74LS164 features two serial data inputs (A and B), eight parallel outputs (Q0 to Q7), a clock input, and a clear input. The device allows for serial-to-parallel conversion with a synchronous operation, which means that the data is entered on the rising edge of the clock signal. The clear input allows for immediate resetting of all outputs to the low state when a high signal is applied, providing users with a quick and effective way to control their digital systems.
