The ONSEMI 74VHC595MX is an advanced high-speed CMOS shift register fabricated with silicon gate CMOS technology. It combines high-speed operation with low power dissipation, making it suitable for a wide range of applications including serial data handling, data transmission, and interfacing between 5V and 3V systems. The device contains an 8-bit serial-in, parallel-out shift register that feeds an 8-bit D-type storage register with 3-STATE outputs. Separate clocks are provided for both registers, allowing for flexible control and synchronization.
