00 — Overview

What the 74HC595 does

The 74HC595D is a high-speed CMOS 8-bit serial shift register with storage register and low/high-impedance outputs. It operates across a 3.0-5.0 V supply range with a maximum clock frequency exceeding 25 MHz. The device features 8 parallel data outputs and supports cascading via a serial output. Engineers typically use it for driving P10 constant-voltage LED single-color displays. The component comes in an SOP-16 package and handles operating temperatures from -40 to +85 °C.
