There is no 'latch pin' on MC74HC164A shift register


Unlike a 74HC595, this shift register (http://www.onsemi.com/pub_link/Collateral/MC74HC164A-D.PDF) doesn't have a latch pin. How then do I output the data stored in the registers (to something like an LED array)?


Thanks.



Answer



The '595 has two sets of latches; one is an input latch that receives the external data serially, and the other is an output latch that receives the data in parallel from the input latch.


The '164 has no discrete output latch; all data is output in parallel as it is received serially. The timing diagram on page 7 shows this.

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
