The maximum clock frequency for the CD54HC164F3A is 25 MHz, but it can vary depending on the operating voltage and temperature. It's recommended to check the datasheet for specific frequency limits at different operating conditions.
To ensure reliable data transfer, make sure to follow proper clocking and data setup/hold times, and use a suitable clock signal with a stable frequency and amplitude. Additionally, ensure that the power supply voltage is within the recommended range and that the device is properly decoupled.
The CD54HC164F3A is a 4.5V to 5.5V device, so it can be used in a 5V system. However, it's essential to ensure that the input signals are within the recommended voltage range to prevent damage or malfunction.
Unused inputs on the CD54HC164F3A should be tied to a valid logic level (either VCC or GND) to prevent floating inputs and ensure proper device operation.
The CD54HC164F3A has an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. While it can operate at high temperatures, it's essential to consider the device's power consumption, thermal management, and potential derating at extreme temperatures.
