1. General description

The 74AHC164; 74AHCT164 is an 8-bit serial-in/parallel-out shift register. The device features two

serial data inputs (DSA and DSB), eight parallel data outputs (Q0 to Q7). Data is entered serially

through DSA or DSB and either input can be used as an active HIGH enable for data entry through

the other input. Data is shifted on the LOW-to-HIGH transitions of the clock (CP) input. A LOW on

the master reset input (MR) clears the register and forces all outputs LOW, independently of other

inputs. Inputs are overvoltage tolerant. This feature allows the use of these devices as translators

in mixed voltage environments.
