STMicroelectronics M74HC164RM13TR 8-bit Shift Register

The M74HC164RM13TR is a high-speed CMOS 8-bit serial-in/parallel-out shift register designed and manufactured by STMicroelectronics, a global semiconductor leader. This device is part of the HC family, which ensures a robust performance with a broad operating voltage range and compatibility with TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) levels.

Featuring two serial data inputs (A and B), the M74HC164RM13TR allows for parallel output from the 8-bit register. The clock input is the driving force for data shifting on the rising edge, providing precise timing control for serial data entry. The register is cleared by setting the master reset input to high, ensuring a straightforward mechanism to clear the internal memory.

This shift register is suitable for a variety of applications, including but not limited to, serial-to-parallel data conversion, remote control holding registers, and as an interface between asynchronous and synchronous systems. Its versatility makes it a staple in digital systems where extension of microcontroller outputs or conversion of serial data to parallel form is required.

The M74HC164RM13TR is available in a compact SOP-14 package, which is beneficial for space-constrained applications. The device operates over a wide temperature range, making it suitable for industrial and automotive environments where temperature variations are common. It is also characterized by low power consumption, a feature that is crucial for battery-operated and power-sensitive applications.

With its fast data rates and robust performance, the M74HC164RM13TR is an excellent choice for designers looking to implement an efficient and reliable shift register in their digital circuits. STMicroelectronics provides comprehensive technical support and documentation for this product, ensuring that integration into your project is as seamless as possible.
