SN74HC164N DIP14 for CircuitModules 10 pieces The SN74HC164N is an 8 bit serialin, parallelout shift register in a DIP14 package. It belongs to the 74HC CMOS logic family and provides a simple method to convert serial data into parallel outputs. This device features two serial inputs (A and B), a clock input (CP), and eight parallel outputs (Q0 to Q7). It is suitable for breadboard prototyping and circuit assemblies requiring compact I/O expansion and data distribution. Key benefits Enables microcontroller I/O expansion with minimal pins by shifting serial data into eight parallel outputs Flexible data feeding with two serial inputs (A and B) for efficient data loading CMOS HC technology delivers reliable static operation with low power consumption across a wide supply range Throughhole DIP14 package is breadboard friendly and easy to solder for hobbyists and professionals Pack of 10 pieces provides stock for multiple projects and experimentation Key attributes Function: 8bit serialin, parallelout shift register Serial inputs: A and B Clock input: CP Outputs: Q0 through Q7 Package: DIP14, throughhole Technology: 74HC CMOS Supply voltage: 2 V to 6 V (typical operation around 5 V) Packaging: 10 pieces per pack Brand/model alignment: CircuitModules SN74HC164N Specifications and compatibility Suitable for standard CMOS logic levels within the 2 V to 6 V supply range Compatible with common microcontroller and digital logic interfaces Ideal for projects that require expanding parallel output capability from a serial data stream Applications and use cases Drive an 8segment LED display or LED bar graph from a serial data source Expand digital outputs of a microcontroller without adding multiple output pins Serialtoparallel data distribution for simple display drivers, LED matrices, or digital control interfaces Notes This description covers the SN74HC164N in DIP14 form, provided by CircuitModules in a 10piece pack No additional features beyond the standard SN74HC164N 8bit serialin, parallelout shift register are included in this description For detailed electrical characteristics and timing, refer to the SN74HC164N data sheet from the applicable supplier sources
