The 74HC595 is an 8-bit serial-in, serial or parallel-out shift register with a storage register and 3-state outputs. It is used to expand the number of output pins of a microcontroller or microprocessor in digital circuits. This IC allows cascading multiple 74HC595 chips to control large sets of outputs, such as LEDs or displays, with only a few I/O pins. The SOIC-16 surface-mount package makes it suitable for compact and automated PCB assemblies.
