Working Principles

The 74AHC595PW/AUJ operates based on the principle of serial-in, parallel-out shift registers. It receives serial data through the SER pin and shifts it into an internal register upon each rising edge of the SRCLK input. The parallel outputs QA-QH reflect the contents of the internal register. By pulsing the RCLK input, the parallel data is latched onto the output pins simultaneously.
