Shift Register 8-Bit - SN74HC595



Description Attachments

The SN74HC595N is an 8-bit shift register IC. This compact device enables the addition of extra inputs or outputs to a microcontroller by transposing data between parallel and serial formats. It communicates with your selected microcontroller using serial information, then collects or outputs information in a parallel (multi-pin) format. In simpler terms, it takes 8 bits from the serial input and then outputs them to 8 pins.

The SN74HC595N comes in a small DIP package. Inside, you'll find an 8-bit, serial-in parallel-out shift register that supplies an 8-bit D-type storage register with parallel 3-state outputs.

It's important to note that the SN74HC595N is a drop-in replacement for the 74HC595 shift register IC and should function seamlessly in any application the previous version could.

The SN74HC595N offers several notable features:

  • An 8-Bit Serial-In, Parallel-Out Shift
  • A Wide Operating Voltage Range of 2 V to 6 V
  • High-Current 3-State Outputs Can Drive Up to 15 LSTTL Loads
  • Low Power Consumption: 80-μA
  • ±6-mA Output Drive at 5 V

The SN74HC595N is perfect for projects where you need to extend the number of outputs of a microcontroller. It is particularly useful in situations where you need to control a large number of LEDs or other output devices with a limited number of microcontroller pins.

For additional information and guidance, Sparkfun provides a comprehensive Shift Register Tutorial and a 7-Segment Library. You can also consult the official datasheet for the SN74HC595N.

Works exactly as expected and helps to expand the limited pin count. Hooking it up went smoothly and in no time I had extra outputs for my LED array. For the price I think it's a solid buy. No complaints, does what it's supposed to do without any hassle.
