The 74LS164 is a high-speed 8-Bit Serial-In Parallel-Out Shift Register. The input Serial data is given through a 2-Input AND gate synchronous with the LOW to HIGH transition of the clock. The IC also features gated serial inputs and an asynchronous clear pin. The 74LS164 IC has a wide range of working voltage, a wide range of working conditions, and directly interfaces with CMOS, NMOS, and TTL. The output of the IC always comes in TTL which makes it easy to work with other TTL devices and microcontrollers. The IC 74LS164 is smaller in size and it has a much FASTER SPEED which makes it reliable in every kind of device.
