16-Bit Shift Registers

SN54LS673, SN74LS673

The 'LS673 is a 16-bit shift register and a 16-bit storage register in a single 24-pin package. A three-state input/output (SER/Q15) port to the shift register allows serial entry and/or reading of data. The storage register is connected in a parallel data loop with the shift register and may be asynchronously cleared by taking the store-clear input low. The storage register may be parallel loaded with shift-register data to provide shift-register status via the parallel outputs. The shift register can be parallel loaded with the storage-register data upon commmand.

A high logic level at the chip-level (CS\) input disables both the shift-register clock and the storage register clock and places SER/Q15 in the high-impedance state. The store-clear function is not disabled by the chip select.

Caution must be exercised to prevent false clocking of either the shift register or the storage register via the chip-select input. The shift clock should be low during the low-to-high transition of chip select and the store clock should be low during the high-to-low transition of chip select.

SN54LS674, SN74LS674

The 'LS674 is a 16-bit parallel-in, serial-out shift register. A three-state input/output (SER/Q15) port provides access for entering a serial data or reading the shift-register word in a recirculating loop.

The device has four basic modes of operation:

* Hold (do nothing) * Write (serially via input/output) * Read (serially) * Load (parallel via data inputs) Low-to-high-level changes at the chip select input should be made only when the clock input is low to prevent false clocking.
