The 74VHC164F is an 8-bit serial-in, parallel-out shift register manufactured by Toshiba Semiconductor and Storage. This device is designed for high-speed operation and low power consumption, making it suitable for a variety of digital applications involving serial-to-parallel data conversion.

Applications

• Display drivers
• Serial-to-parallel data conversion
• Remote control systems
• LED matrix control
• Keyboard scanning

Features

• 8-bit shift register
• Serial-in, parallel-out
• High-speed operation
• Low power consumption
• Asynchronous reset
• Wide operating voltage range

Benefits

• Enables efficient serial-to-parallel data conversion
• Reduces the number of required I/O pins
• Provides fast data transfer rates
• Suitable for battery-powered applications due to low power consumption
• Allows for easy resetting of the register with asynchronous reset

The 74VHC164F shifts data serially into the register and outputs the data in parallel. The asynchronous reset allows the register to be cleared independently of the clock signal. Toshiba provides datasheets containing detailed electrical characteristics, timing diagrams, and application information. Proper power supply decoupling is recommended to ensure stable and reliable operation. This part is appropriate for use cases where a serial data stream needs to be converted to parallel data for driving multiple outputs simultaneously.
