The maximum clock frequency of the 74HC164N is typically around 25 MHz, but it can vary depending on the specific application and operating conditions. It's recommended to check the datasheet and consult with the manufacturer for specific guidance.
To ensure reliable data transfer with the 74HC164N, make sure to follow proper clocking and data loading procedures, use a stable clock signal, and ensure that the input data is valid and stable before clocking it into the shift register.
Yes, the 74HC164N can be used as a serial-to-parallel converter. By clocking in serial data and then latching the output, you can convert the serial data to parallel format.
The power consumption of the 74HC164N depends on the operating frequency, voltage, and load conditions. Typically, the quiescent current is around 20 μA, and the dynamic current is around 10 mA at 25 MHz. Consult the datasheet for more detailed information.
The 74HC164N is a CMOS device and can operate from 2V to 6V. It is compatible with both 5V and 3.3V systems, but ensure that the input and output voltage levels are within the recommended operating range.
