SN74LS164N

Shift Registers Overview

The SN74LS164N is an 8-bit serial-in, parallel-out shift register from the Texas Instruments SN74LS164 series. It utilizes Low-Power Schottky TTL logic and features asynchronous reset functionality. The device supports through-hole mounting in a standard package configuration. Electrical specifications include a maximum power supply voltage of 5.25V and a minimum operating voltage of 4.75V. The operational temperature range spans from 0°C to 70°C.

Shift Registers Feature Summary

• Provides eight-bit data storage with serial input and parallel output capabilities for data conversion applications.
• Features an asynchronous master reset pin that forces all outputs low regardless of clock or input states.
• Incorporates two AND-gated serial data inputs allowing flexible control via enable signals.

Shift Registers Applications

• Serial-to-parallel data conversion in digital systems
• Generation of sequential timing pulses
• Driving LED displays or indicator arrays

Shift Registers Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer part number SN74LS164N against official Texas Instruments documentation to confirm the specific package type and logic family. Ensure compatibility with system voltage levels and temperature requirements before integration. Cross-reference datasheets for pinout accuracy and electrical characteristics to prevent design errors.

Shift Registers Selection Notes

Select this component when Low-Power Schottky TTL performance is required for 8-bit shift operations. Consider the through-hole package constraint and the 5V logic level compatibility. Evaluate the asynchronous reset feature necessity for system initialization sequences compared to synchronous alternatives.

Shift Registers Part Context

This component belongs to the SN74LS164 series of shift registers manufactured by Texas Instruments. It is part of the broader 74xx logic family, specifically designed for Low-Power Schottky applications. The N suffix typically denotes a plastic dual-in-line package suitable for breadboard or PCB prototyping.

Shift Registers Replacement Considerations

Compatible replacements include other 74LS164 variants from different manufacturers ensuring pin compatibility. Verify logical equivalence and electrical parameters such as propagation delay and current drive capability before substitution.
