The M74HC4094TTR can handle clock frequencies up to 25 MHz.
To ensure proper initialization, the shift register should be reset by applying a low pulse on the RST pin, and then the clock pin should be toggled 8 times to load the initial data.
The maximum voltage that can be applied to the output pins is 5.5V, which is the maximum rating for the device.
Yes, the M74HC4094TTR can be used as a level shifter, but it's not recommended as it's not designed for that purpose. It's primarily intended for use as a shift register.
To troubleshoot issues with the shift register not shifting correctly, check the clock signal, ensure that the RST pin is properly reset, and verify that the input data is correct. Also, check for any noise or glitches on the clock and data lines.
