## Description

A breakout board for the SOIC version of the 74HC595 8-bit shift register IC. Shift registers let you expand the number of digital outputs available on your microcontroller by clocking in serial data and latching it to eight parallel outputs — using just three GPIO pins. All IC pins are broken out to standard 0.1" spaced headers. The serial input and output pins are on opposite sides of the board, making it easy to chain multiple boards together for even more outputs. Key Features 74HC595 Shift Register – 8-bit serial-in, parallel-out with output latches Chainable Design – Serial in/out on opposite sides for daisy-chaining multiple boards Standard Headers – 0.1" pitch for breadboard and jumper wire compatibility 3-Wire Control – Data, clock, and latch pins free up microcontroller I/O Ideal For Expanding digital outputs on Arduino and other microcontrollers Driving LED arrays and multi-segment displays Projects requiring more outputs than available GPIO pins Package Contents 1× SparkFun Shift Register Breakout (74HC595) Resources Shift Register Guide (SparkFun)
