Perguntas frequentes (FAQ)

What is the core purpose of the SN74HC595?

The SN74HC595 expands microcontroller I/O by converting a serial data stream into an 8-bit parallel output. It helps conserve GPIO pins while providing precise output control.

Can the SN74HC595 chips be cascaded for more outputs?

Yes, the devices can be chained via their QH?? and SER pins, allowing for nearly unlimited parallel expansion in 8-bit increments.

What is the benefit of the internal storage register?

It enables outputs to be updated simultaneously after all bits are shifted in, which is crucial for controlling displays and avoiding unwanted intermediate states.

How is data transferred into and out of the IC?

Data enters serially via the SER pin and shifts on the rising edge of the clock (SRCLK). The data is then latched to the outputs using the RCLK pin.

What package options are available?

SN74HC595 is available in DIP-16, SOIC, and TSSOP formats, with DIP being ideal for through-hole applications and prototyping purposes.
