Terminal description
Symbol Description
Dn (n = 0 to 8) Data inputs
CLR Clear input. For both inverting and noninverting registers, when the clear input is low and OE is lo
w, the
Qn outputs on the flip-flop are low. When the clear input is high, data can be entered into the register.
CP Clock pulse for the register; enters data into the register on the low-to-high transition.
Yn (n = 0 to 8) Register output
EN Clock enable. When the clock enable is low, data on the Dn input is transferred to the Qn output of the
flip-flop on the low-to-high transition of the clock. When the clock enable is high, the Qn outputs do not
change state regardless of the data or clock input transitions.
OE
Output enable control input. When the OE input is high, the Yn outputs are in the high impedance state.
When the OE input is low, the true regisiter data is present at the Yn outputs.
Qn (n = 0 to 8) Internal outputs of the flip-flop.
