Diodes Incorporated 74HC164S14-13

The 74HC164S14-13 is a high-speed Si-gate CMOS device from Diodes Incorporated, renowned for its reliability and performance in digital electronics. This integrated circuit is an 8-bit serial-in/parallel-out shift register, which means it is designed to accept serial data and convert it into parallel output. It is particularly useful in applications where the expansion of input/output lines is needed without adding extra microcontroller pins.

This shift register operates with a supply voltage range of 2V to 6V, making it compatible with a variety of logic families and ideal for battery-operated devices. Its high noise immunity and low power consumption are hallmarks of the CMOS technology, ensuring efficient operation even in electrically noisy environments or when power conservation is a priority.

The 74HC164S14-13 features two serial data inputs (A and B), eight parallel outputs (Q0 to Q7), a clock input, and a clear input for resetting the register. Data is entered on each rising edge of the clock signal, allowing for synchronous operation that is aligned with the system clock. The clear input provides a convenient way to reset the output to a low level by sending a high signal, thus preparing the device for new data without needing to cycle through the entire shift register.

With its compact SOT-14 package, the 74HC164S14-13 is suitable for space-constrained applications, while also providing robustness for industrial-grade products. It is commonly used in a wide range of applications, including digital signal processing, data storage, communication systems, and control interfaces.

For design engineers looking for a versatile, high-performance shift register, the 74HC164S14-13 from Diodes Incorporated is an excellent choice. Its ease of use, combined with the support and quality assurance from Diodes Incorporated, ensures a reliable solution for both simple and complex digital systems.

Whether you're designing consumer electronics, automotive systems, or sophisticated industrial machinery, the 74HC164S14-13 offers the functionality and durability required to meet your digital logic needs.
