The maximum operating frequency indicates the limit (speed) at which the IC can operate. The typical operating frequency limit of 7MHz can be minimized to 5MHz due to variations.
Products that can make the parallel outputs 'H' at the same time are the CMOS output type BU2152 and open drain output (requiring pull-up) types BU2099 and BU2092. The BU2152 sets the CLB pin to 'L' while the BU2099 and BU2092 sets the OE pin to 'H', with the outputs becoming 'H' asynchronously with other signals.Related Link:Technical Document
Products that can make the parallel output 'L' simultaneously are the CMOS output type BU2050 and open drain output type BU2098. Setting the /CLR pin to 'L' will allow the BU2050 to set all outputs to 'L' asynchronously with other input signals. And for the BU2098, all outputs become 'L' by power ON reset only when the power is turned ON.Related Link:Technical Document
The BU2092 and BU2099 do not have a power ON reset function, so the initial values of the internal shift register will be random. Setting /OE='H' makes it possible to turn all open collector outputs OFF (all outputs High if there is a pull-up resistor), regardless of other inputs. All outputs ON (Low) is not possible. If the internal shift register is not set to that state in advance, initial random values will be output when /OE='L'.
According to the datasheet the BU2098 has a power ON reset circuit, so in the initial state all open drain outputs can be ON (Low). All outputs cannot be OFF (output High with pull-up resistor).
