4021 - Static Shift Register

The 4021 is an 8-stage static shift register, featuring parallel input/serial output. It supports parallel/serial control, enabling data to be shifted serially with the clock or jammed asynchronously. Housed in a 16-pin DIP package, it offers high noise immunity, ESD protection, and low power dissipation, making it compatible with TTL, CMOS, and NMOS devices.
