00 — Overview

What the 74HCT165 does

The 74HC165 and 74HCT165 are 8-bit parallel-in/serial-out shift registers available in commercial, industrial, and military temperature grades. These devices feature a wide supply voltage range from 2.0 to 6.0 V, high noise immunity, and asynchronous parallel load capability. Input levels accommodate both CMOS and TTL standards depending on the specific variant. The 74HC165 operates at CMOS levels while the 74HCT165 accepts TTL levels. They are typically used for parallel-to-serial data conversion in digital logic applications. Multiple package options include SO16, TSSOP16, and DHVQFN16 to suit various board space requirements. The parts support overvoltage tolerant inputs up to 15 V for level shifting tasks.
