74HCT595DB,112 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency for the 74HCT595DB,112?
  The maximum clock frequency for the 74HCT595DB,112 is 100 MHz.
• Can I use the 74HCT595DB,112 with a 3.3V supply voltage?
  Yes, the 74HCT595DB,112 is compatible with a 3.3V supply voltage, but it's recommended to use a 5V supply voltage for optimal performance.
• How do I handle the output enable (OE) pin?
  The output enable (OE) pin should be connected to GND to enable the outputs. If OE is connected to VCC, the outputs will be in a high-impedance state.
• What is the maximum current that the 74HCT595DB,112 can sink or source?
  The 74HCT595DB,112 can sink or source up to 25 mA per output pin.
• Can I use the 74HCT595DB,112 as a level shifter?
  Yes, the 74HCT595DB,112 can be used as a level shifter, but it's not recommended as it's primarily designed as a shift register. For level shifting, it's better to use a dedicated level shifter IC.
