M74HC165

The M74HC165 is an high speed CMOS 8 BIT PISO SHIFT REGISTER fabricated with silicon gate C²MOS technology.

This M74HC165 contains eight clocked master slave RS flip-flops connected as a shift register, with auxiliary gating to provide over-riding asynchronous parallel entry. Parallel data enters when the shift/load input is low. The parallel data can change while shift/load is low, provided that the recommended set-up and hold times are observed. For clocked operation, shift/load must be high. The two clock input perform identically; one can be used as a clock inhibit by applying a high signal; to permit this operation clocking is accomplished through a 2 input nor gate.

To avoid double clocking, however, the inhibit signal should only go high while the clock is high. Otherwise the rising inhibit signal will cause the same response as rising clock edge.

All inputs of M74HC165 are equipped with protection circuits against static discharge and transient excess voltage.
