 title: Generic 8-bit shift register
 
+description: |
+  NOTE: These chips nominally don't have a chip select pin. They do however
+  have a rising-edge triggered latch clock (or storage register clock) pin,
+  which behaves like an active-low chip select.
+
+  After the bits are shifted into the shift register, CS# is driven high, which
+  the 74HC595 sees as a rising edge on the latch clock that results in a
+  transfer of the bits from the shift register to the storage register and thus
+  to the output pins.
