The Toshiba TC74AC164P(F) is an 8-bit serial-in, parallel-out shift register belonging to the Advanced CMOS (AC) logic family. It is designed for high-speed operation and low power consumption. This device serially accepts data into a single input and then provides access to all 8 bits in parallel, making it suitable for applications where data needs to be shifted and accessed simultaneously.

Applications

• Serial-to-Parallel Conversion: Converting serial data streams into parallel data for display or processing.
• Data Acquisition Systems: Used in data acquisition systems to collect and process data.
• Display Drivers: Driving LED displays or other types of displays.
• Keyboard Scanning: Used in keyboard scanning applications.

Features

• 8-Bit Shift Register: Provides 8 bits of storage for serial-to-parallel conversion.
• Serial Input: Accepts data serially through a single input pin.
• Parallel Outputs: Provides access to all 8 bits in parallel.
