The MC10E/100E142 is a 9-bit shift register, designed with byte-parity applications in mind. The E142 performs serial/parallel in and serial/parallel out, shifting in one direction. The nine inputs D0 D8 accept parallel input data, while S-IN accepts serial input data. The Qn outputs do not need to be terminated for the shift operation to function. To minimize noise and power, any Q output not used should be left unterminated.
