SN74HC165N

The SN74HC165N is an 8-bit parallel-load shift register manufactured by Texas Instruments (TI). This integrated circuit (IC) allows for the conversion of parallel data into serial data, making it a versatile component in digital circuits and systems. It features a PDIP (Plastic Dual In-line Package) with 16 pins, enabling easy integration into various electronic designs.

The SN74HC165N operates with a maximum power supply voltage of 6V and can function within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. It provides eight individual direct data inputs (A-H) that can be accessed in parallel, allowing for simultaneous loading of data into the register. The data is then shifted towards a serial output (QH) under the control of a clock signal.

Additionally, the SN74HC165N includes a clock-inhibit (CLK INH) function that allows for the temporary suspension of data shifting, providing further control over the data transfer process. The complementary serial output (QH) enables the device to work seamlessly with other components in serial communication systems.

Overall, the SN74HC165N is a reliable and efficient solution for data conversion and serial communication in a wide range of applications, including digital systems, computers, and communication equipment. Its CMOS technology ensures low power consumption and high-speed operation, making it a suitable choice for modern electronic designs.
