Overview
The SN74AHC594DG4 is an 8-bit serial-in, parallel-out shift register with an integrated 8-bit D-type storage register, manufactured by Texas Instruments. This device is part of the AHC (Advanced High-Speed CMOS) logic family, known for its high speed and low power consumption. It operates within a voltage range of 2V to 5.5V, making it versatile for various applications. The shift register and storage register have separate clocks and direct overriding clear inputs, allowing for flexible control over data shifting and storage. A serial output (QH′) is provided for cascading multiple devices.
