I would imagine that the LS chips are expensive because they are obsolete. I used them because they were in my junk drawer. I would recommend using the HCT series.
I see that the pin names have changed a bit from the old datasheets. STCP = Storage Register Clock, I referred to as 'Latch', formerly 'RCLK' SHCP = Shift register clock, formerly 'SRClock' DS = Serial data Input, formerly 'Ser' PL = Parallel Load, formerly 'SRLoad' -Kip On Tue, Feb 5, 2013 at 1:33 PM, <kqt4a...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Tue, 5 Feb 2013, Roland Jollivet wrote: > > > On 5 February 2013 16:11, Ralph Stirling <ralph.stirl...@wallawalla.edu > >wrote: > > > >> Digikey.com .
