SN74LS194AN 4-bit bidirectional universal shift register
The SN74LS194AN from Texas Instruments is a classic, high-performance 4-bit bidirectional universal shift register from the 74LS (Low-Power Schottky) TTL logic family, renowned for its versatility in data handling and manipulation. This integrated circuit features four parallel data inputs and outputs, along with two mode control inputs that select from four distinct operations: parallel load, shift right, shift left, and hold. It includes separate serial inputs for right-shift and left-shift data entry, a direct overriding clear input, and a clock input for synchronous operation, enabling complex sequential logic functions.
Operating from a standard 5V supply, it offers the familiar TTL logic levels with typical propagation delays under 30ns. Housed in a 16-pin PDIP package, the device provides robust drive capability, making it suitable for interfacing with a wide array of digital systems, microprocessors, and other logic families. It is designed for reliable performance in a wide temperature range, serving as a foundational component for digital circuits requiring data storage, transfer, and transformation.
