Product Overview: SN74LV164APW

The SN74LV164APW is a high-performance, 8-bit serial-in, parallel-out shift register designed by Texas Instruments. This integrated circuit is part of the 74LV family, which operates on a low-voltage range. The SN74LV164APW is optimized for use in systems that require a high-speed, low-power serial-to-parallel data conversion.

This device features two serial data inputs (A and B) that allow for either single or dual input modes. The eight parallel outputs (Q0 to Q7) present the data in a non-inverted fashion. The SN74LV164APW operates over a wide voltage range from 2V to 5.5V, making it compatible with TTL levels and suitable for interfacing with both 3.3V and 5V systems.

The chip's clock input is edge-triggered, enabling data to be shifted on the rising edge of the clock pulse. Additionally, the device includes a clear function (CLR) that, when activated, resets all outputs to a low state, providing a quick way to clear the register.

Key Features:

• 8-bit serial input/parallel output shift register
• Dual serial data inputs for parallel loading
• Wide operating voltage range (2V to 5.5V)
• Direct interface with TTL levels
• Edge-triggered clock input
• Asynchronous clear function
• Available in TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package) form
• Low power consumption
• High-speed performance

The SN74LV164APW is available in a 14-pin TSSOP package, ensuring a compact footprint for space-constrained applications. Its low power consumption, combined with its high-speed capabilities, make it an excellent choice for a broad range of applications, including microprocessor expansion, serial-to-parallel data conversion, and digital signal processing.
