The maximum clock frequency for the CD54HC574F is 20 MHz, but it can vary depending on the operating voltage and temperature.
The CD54HC574F has a built-in power-up reset circuit, but it's recommended to add an external pull-up resistor to the reset pin to ensure a clean reset during power-up.
Yes, the CD54HC574F is compatible with 5V systems, but it's recommended to use a voltage regulator to ensure a stable 5V supply, and to check the voltage tolerance of the device.
To ensure data integrity in a noisy environment, use proper PCB layout techniques, add decoupling capacitors, and consider using a shielded cable or twisted pair wiring for the clock and data lines.
Yes, the CD54HC574F can be used as a level shifter, but it's not recommended as it's not designed for that purpose. Instead, use a dedicated level shifter IC to ensure reliable operation.
