74HC595 Shift register IC DIP16 package

shift registers are used to increase the number of microcontroller pins, receiving input data and presenting it at the output. the 74hc595 shift register chip receives 8-bit serial input data and transmits 8-bit output either serially or in parallel, utilizing a latch register. the clock pins of the two registers are independent, allowing for the asynchronous reset of the shift register.

application of 74HC595 shift register IC:

1. adding a control pin to the microcontroller
2. lighting and illumination systems

specifications of the 74hc595 IC:

1. output drive capability: 15 ma
2. output interface: cmos nmos and ttl
3. operating voltage range: 2 to 6 volts
4. low input current: 1 ma
5. high noise immunity
6. standard rated current: 7 ma
7. improved propagation delay
8. low power consumption
9. low input noise and high latch-up immunity
