6. How can parallel data be taken out of a shift register simultaneously?
  • Use the Q output of the first FF.
  • Use the Q output of the last FF
  • Tie all of the Q outputs together.
  • Use the Q output of each FF.
Show Answer
7. What is meant by parallel load of a shift register?
  • All FFs are preset with data.
  • Each FF is loaded with data, one at a time.
Show Answer
8. What does the output enable do on the 74395A chip?
  • It determines when data can be loaded.
  • It forces all outputs to go HIGH.
  • It forces all outputs to go LOW.
  • It activates the three-state buffer.
Show Answer
