SERIAL-IN PARALLEL-OUT
SHIFT REGISTER
The SN54/74LS164 is a high speed 8-Bit Serial-In Parallel-Out Shift Register. Serial data is entered through a 2-Input AND gate synchronous with the
LOW to HIGH transition of the clock. The device features an asynchronous
Master Reset which clears the register setting all outputs LOW independent of
the clock. It utilizes the Schottky diode clamped process to achieve high
speeds and is fully compatible with all Motorola TTL products.
• Typical Shift Frequency of 35 MHz
• Asynchronous Master Reset
• Gated Serial Data Input
• Fully Synchronous Data Transfers
• Input Clamp Diodes Limit High Speed Termination Effects
• ESD > 3500 Volts

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The LS164 is an edge-triggered 8-bit shift register with serial data entry and an output from each of the eight stages. Data
is entered serially through one of two inputs (A or B); either of
these inputs can be used as an active HIGH Enable for data
entry through the other input. An unused input must be tied
HIGH, or both inputs connected together.

Each LOW-to-HIGH transition on the Clock (CP) input shifts
data one place to the right and enters into Q0 the logical AND
of the two data inputs (A•B) that existed before the rising clock
edge. A LOW level on the Master Reset (MR
) input overrides
all other inputs and clears the register asynchronously , forcing
all Q outputs LOW.
