Frequently Asked Questions
What is the function of the AND-gated serial inputs (A and B)?
These inputs allow for complete control over incoming data; a low signal at either input inhibits new data entry.
Which temperature range does the SN54HC164 operate in?
The SN54HC164 operates over the full military temperature range of –55°C to 125°C.
How is clocking generated for this shift register?
Clocking occurs specifically on the low-to-high-level transition (rising edge) of the CLK signal.
Are there size limits when changing serial data?
Data at the serial inputs can be changed, provided the minimum setup time requirements are met.
