The 74F164 is an 8-bit edge-triggered shift register with serial data entry and an output from each of the eight stages
The Philips 74F164 is an integrated circuit designed as an 8-bit edge-triggered shift register. It features gated serial data inputs (Dsa, Dsb) that allow data to be entered through one of two inputs, which can also serve as active-high enables for the other input. The device shifts data one place to the right on each Low-to-High transition of the clock (CP) input.
| Typical shift frequency | 100MHz |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage (Commercial) | 4.5 to 5.5 V |
Data is entered through one of two inputs (Dsa, Dsb), where either input can act as an active High enable for data entry through the other.
A Low level on the MR input overrides all other inputs and clears the register asynchronously, forcing all outputs Low.
Yes, the device can be cascaded to form synchronous shift registers of longer length.
