74HC595 Breakout PCB Kit - Dual ICs
This dual 74HC595 Breakout PCB Kit is designed for use as a development platform OR can be integrated into the finished product. It is compatible with Arduino or any other microcontroller.
It has two 74HC595 Serial-to-Parallel ICs connected in cascade. This will give you a total of 16 outputs with just 3 I/O lines. Check the schematic out for more details.
It has a 78L05 Voltage Regulator to power the 74HC595s so the input voltage can be anywhere from 5v to 15v.
The PCB is 3.0" x 1.5" with 4 mounting holes. It is 0.062", FR4 epoxy glass, plated thru-holes with silkscreen on top.
The control lines are such that you can cascade more PCBs to greatly increase the output count.
This kit is also available as a Built & Tested for those that do not want to build it themselves.
