Features

• Description
• The SN74HC595N is a simple 8-bit shift register IC. Simply put, this shift register is a device that allows additional inputs or outputs to be added to a microcontroller by converting data between parallel and serial formats. Your chosen microprocessor is able to communicate with the The SN74HC595N using serial information then gathers or outputs information in a parallel(multi-pin)format. Essentially it takes 8 bits from the serial input and then outputs them to 8 pins.
• This small DIP packaged IC contains an 8-bit, serial-in parallel-out shift register that feeds an 8-bit D-type storage register with parallel 3-state outputs.
• Note:
• This is a drop-in replacement for the 74HC595 shift register IC and should function just fine in any application the previous version could.
