8-stage shift-and-store bus register in 74HC logic
The CD74HC4094M96G3 is an 8-bit serial-to-parallel shift register from the 74HC family, with a storage register and tri-state output stage. It accepts serial data on a single input and presents it in parallel on eight outputs, with the storage register isolating the output latch from the shift register during data entry.
Active lifecycle — no near-term LTB risk
The ROHS3 compliance covers RoHS exemption requirements through the latest directive.
Where it fits — serial expansion and bus isolation
The tri-state output lets multiple registers share a common data bus without contention, which is the usual use case for driving LED arrays, relay banks, or parallel DACs from a microcontroller with limited GPIO. The 8-bit width per element matches the most common expansion ratio for SPI or bit-banged serial links. The 16-SOIC footprint is a standard narrow-body package that fits existing PCB layouts for 74HC4094-class parts.
