8-bit universal shift register — parallel in, parallel out
It accepts parallel data on eight inputs and shifts it through the register on each clock pulse, making it suitable for data buffering, serial-to-parallel conversion, and general-purpose storage in digital systems. The F-series provides a balance of speed and drive current for TTL-compatible logic interfaces.
Active lifecycle — no EOL risk for new designs
This is a straightforward BOM line for production builds — no last-time-buy planning or surplus-channel dependency. Note that the part is RoHS non-compliant (lead-bearing), so it is restricted from RoHS-required assemblies unless an exemption applies.
Sourcing and compliance note
The RoHS non-compliant status means it is a direct fit only for legacy or exempt builds — verify your assembly's regulatory requirements before specifying.
