The 74HC595D with Registers CMOS LOGIC IC SERIES is a shift register manufactured by Toshiba, consisting of a 8-bit shift register, 8-bit latch, and output driver. The device is typically used in applications requiring byte-level data transfer serial to parallel conversion. It features an operating voltage range of 2 V to 6 V, and low power consumption. The IC is constructed with CMOS logic circuitry allowing it to switch quickly between its two output states, while dissipating minimal power. Its high-level output voltage is 4 V minimum at 5.5 V, and its low-level output voltage is 0.5 V maximum at 0.8 V. The device has the output characteristics common to all Motorola Logic Family IC's.
