74HCT7404

The 74HC/HCT7404 are high-speed Si-gate CMOS devices specified in compliance with JEDEC standard no.7A.

The "7404" is an expandable, First-In First-Out (FIFO) memory organized as 64 words by 5 bits. A guaranteed 15 MHz data-rate makes it ideal for high-speed applications. A higher data-rate can be obtained in applications where the status flags are not used (burst-mode).

With separate controls for shift-in (SI) and shift-out (SO), reading and writing operations are completely independent, allowing synchronous and asynchronous data transfers. Additional controls include a master-reset input (MR), an output enable input (OE) and flags. The data-in-ready (DIR) and data-out-ready (DOR) flags indicate the status of the device.
