Quick question on this chip.
If I tie the latch enable pin permanently high, will the data being shifted into the serial register appear immediately on the outputs, ie does the latch go transparent.
Flicking through the datsheet it says that if you connect the serial register and the latch register clock inputs togther the o/p will allways be 1 clock pulse behind, making me think theres some weird syncro stuff going on.
I'd like to use one of these instead of a 74hc164 as I have a drawer full.
