SN74LS596N

Shift Registers Overview

The SN74LS596N is an 8-bit serial-in, parallel-out shift register manufactured by Texas Instruments using low-power Schottky (LS) TTL technology. It features asynchronous parallel input loading within eight shift registers and includes a serial data input. The device provides open-collector outputs and operates with a supply voltage range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V. Typical propagation delay is 25 ns, with power consumption approximately 15 mW. It is housed in a 16-pin PDIP package.

Shift Registers Feature Summary

• Asynchronous parallel input loading capability for direct data entry into the shift register stages without clock synchronization.

Shift Registers Applications

• Electronic systems requiring module exchange without removing supply voltage

Shift Registers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source, as some listings attribute this part to Advanced Linear Devices Inc. or other distributors rather than Texas Instruments directly. Confirm the active status and package type against the official Texas Instruments datasheet to ensure compatibility with your design requirements.

Shift Registers Selection Notes

Select this component when open-collector outputs are required for interfacing with higher voltage loads or wired-OR configurations. The LS TTL technology offers a balance of speed and power efficiency suitable for general-purpose digital logic applications where asynchronous parallel loading is beneficial.

Shift Registers Part Context

This component belongs to the SN74LS series of logic ICs, specifically designed for shift register functions. It is distinct from similar parts like the SN74LS595 by its output structure and control features. The SN74LS596N is classified under Counter Shift Registers in the Texas Instruments product portfolio.

Shift Registers Replacement Considerations

Check for pin-compatible alternatives within the 74LS family that offer standard push-pull outputs if open-collector is not strictly necessary. Verify electrical characteristics such as propagation delay and power consumption against the original specification.
