## Description

The 74HC595 is an 8-bit serial-in, parallel-out shift register with a storage register and tri-state outputs. Clock in data serially and latch it to the output pins, freeing up I/O on your microcontroller. Multiple registers can be daisy-chained for even more outputs. One of the most commonly used ICs in electronics projects, the 74HC595 is essential for driving LED arrays, 7-segment displays, and expanding GPIO on pin-limited microcontrollers. Key Features 8-Bit Shift Register – Serial input, parallel output Storage Register – Latch data to outputs independently of shifting Tri-State Outputs – Output enable control Cascadable – Daisy-chain multiple registers for more outputs DIP Package – Breadboard friendly Specifications IC: 74HC595 (SN74HC595) Type: 8-bit serial-in, parallel-out shift register Package: DIP-16 Supply Voltage: 2–6V Ideal For Expanding microcontroller GPIO pins Driving LED matrices and 7-segment displays Arduino and embedded projects Learning digital logic Package Contents 1× 74HC595 8-Bit Shift Register IC Resources Shift Register Tutorial Datasheet (PDF)
