A 74HC595 8-bit serial-in, serial/parallel-out shift register IC in a through-hole DIP-16 package. This tri-state output shift register accepts serial data (SPI) and outputs 8 digital bits in parallel, making it ideal for expanding the number of outputs from a microcontroller.

Key Features

  • 8-Bit Shift Register – Serial-in, parallel-out with tri-state outputs
  • Chainable – Serial output allows daisy-chaining multiple chips
  • Through-Hole DIP-16 – Breadboard and perfboard compatible
  • CMOS Logic – 74HC series

Specifications

  • IC – 74HC595
  • Package – DIP-16 (through-hole)
  • Pin Count – 16

Also Available

Ideal For

  • LED arrays and matrix displays
  • Output expansion for Arduino and microcontrollers
  • Driving power transistors and solenoids

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

LED
A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
microcontroller
A microcontroller is a small computer on a chip that runs your program and controls connected inputs and outputs. For this product, it is the part that reads buttons and sensors, drives the display and speaker, and communicates over Bluetooth.
SPI
A fast serial communication bus often used for displays, memory cards, and sensors. It matters because SPI devices need specific pins for clock and data, plus a separate chip-select line for each device.
