A parallel load operation is asynchronous, so it is not dependent on the clock.

More Questions from Shift Registers

• Practically every possible load, shift, and conversion operation is available in a shift register IC.
• A universal shift register has both serial and parallel input and output capacity.
• Bidirectional means having two states.
• There are several ways to construct a stepper motor to achieve digitally controlled stepping action. One possibility is to construct four stator coils set up as four pole pairs, each 45° apart and using three ferromagnetic pairs spaced 60° apart.
• The storage capacity of a register makes it an important type of memory.
• A stepper motor makes its rotation in smooth continuous motion.
• Eight states are in an 8-bit Johnson counter sequence.
• When is LOW, the data are shifted one bit per clock pulse.
• The 74194 4-bit bidirectional universal shift register has a wide range of applications.
• Parallel load means to load all flip-flops at the same time.
