Product Overview

The SN74HC165 is a Texas Instruments 8-bit parallel-load shift register in the Signal_Chain category. It accepts eight parallel inputs, identified as A through H, and provides serial outputs on QH and complementary QH. This structure supports parallel data capture followed by serial output shifting in digital signal paths.

Recommended operation is from 2 to 6 V, with 5 V given as a nominal recommended supply. Logic input thresholds are specified at 2 V, 4.5 V, and 6 V supplies, and both input and output voltage ranges are 0 to VCC. At 25 °C, specified timing includes maximum clock frequency values of 31 MHz minimum and 50 MHz typical at 4.5 V, and 36 MHz minimum and 62 MHz typical at 6 V with 50 pF load.

Package options cover SOIC-16, SSOP-16, PDIP-16, SO-16, and TSSOP-16 footprints. Thermal resistance is package-dependent, ranging from 64 °C/W for the SN74HC165NS SO package to 108 °C/W for the SN74HC165PW TSSOP package.
