SN74LS595N

Shift Registers Overview

The SN74LS595N is an eight-bit serial-in, serial or parallel-out shift register manufactured by Texas Instruments. It belongs to the SN74LS series of logic integrated circuits and utilizes bipolar technology. The device features a separate clock for the shift register and a storage register latch. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V and supports a maximum propagation delay of 60 ns. The component is housed in a 16-pin PDIP package designed for through-hole mounting.

Shift Registers Feature Summary

• Provides serial-to-parallel data conversion capabilities
• Features independent shift and storage register clocks
• Supports daisy-chaining for expanded bit capacity

Shift Registers Applications

• Serial data acquisition systems
• Parallel output expansion for microcontrollers
• LED display driver circuits

Shift Registers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number against official Texas Instruments documentation to ensure compatibility with system requirements. Confirm that the PDIP-16 package and LS logic family specifications align with the design constraints. Check for any recent product change notifications regarding pinout or electrical characteristics before finalizing procurement decisions.

Shift Registers Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-cost, eight-bit shift register with parallel output is required. Ensure the application environment stays within the specified 0°C to +70°C operating temperature range. Verify that the input signal levels are compatible with standard TTL logic thresholds defined for the LS series.

Shift Registers Part Context

This component is part of the broader SN74xx series of digital logic devices produced by Texas Instruments. It serves as a fundamental building block for sequential logic circuits requiring data serialization or deserialization functions within standard bipolar logic designs.

Shift Registers Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the SN74HC595N for CMOS applications and the SN74LS595N from other authorized manufacturers, provided pinouts and electrical parameters match exactly.
