This document provides information on the 74HC164 and 74HCT164 8-bit serial-in, parallel-out shift registers. It includes a general description of the devices and their features, ordering information for different package types, a functional diagram and description, pinning information, electrical characteristics, and dynamic timing parameters. The devices take in serial data on two inputs and output the shifted data in parallel on 8 outputs, controlled by a clock input. They can be reset to clear all outputs to a low state.
