What are the key features of CD54HC165F3A?

  • 8-bit parallel-load serial-shift operation enabling GPIO expansion using only 2 SPI wires plus clock for up to 8 inputs per IC
  • SISO (serial-in serial-out) cascading capability allowing daisy-chaining multiple CD54HC165 devices to expand to 16, 24, or 32 inputs
  • Ceramic DIP-16 package (JEDEC-30 R-GDIP-T16) providing military-grade hermetic sealing for high-reliability and aerospace applications

What is CD54HC165F3A used for?

The CD54HC165F3A is used in embedded systems and PLCs to read multiple parallel digital inputs — such as switches, encoder outputs, or sensor status lines — over a 3-wire serial interface, reducing microcontroller I/O pin count. Its SISO cascading mode allows multiple ICs to be chained for 16-bit, 24-bit, or larger input word widths without additional address decoding. The ceramic DIP package makes it suitable for military, aerospace, and industrial applications requiring extended temperature operation from -55°C to +125°C.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many parallel inputs can be read per clock cycle using CD54HC165F3A, and how does cascading work?

Each CD54HC165F3A captures 8 parallel inputs on the falling edge of the SH/LD pin, then shifts them out serially over 8 clock pulses on the QH output. Multiple ICs can be cascaded by connecting QH of one device to the SER input of the next, extending the serial word to 16, 24, or 32 bits per load-and-shift cycle with no additional I/O pins required on the microcontroller.

What operating temperature range does the ceramic DIP-16 package of CD54HC165F3A support?

The CD54HC165F3A in ceramic DIP-16 (R-GDIP-T16) supports operation from -55°C to +125°C, meeting MIL-grade temperature requirements. This extended range exceeds the -40°C to +85°C range of commercial plastic SOIC equivalents and is required in avionics, defense electronics, and industrial control systems exposed to extreme thermal cycling environments.

What load capacitance rating applies to CD54HC165F3A, and how does it affect maximum clock frequency?

The CD54HC165F3A is rated at 50 pF load capacitance for its propagation delay and speed specifications. At 5 V supply and 50 pF, the HC family shift register operates reliably at clock frequencies up to approximately 25 MHz, giving an 8-bit word serialization time of around 320 ns per device. Higher PCB trace capacitance above 50 pF will reduce maximum safe clock frequency and should be accounted for in layout design.

How does CD54HC165F3A compare to CD74HC165 for a non-ceramic, commercial-grade design?

CD54HC165F3A uses a ceramic hermetic package with military temperature screening, while CD74HC165 uses plastic SOIC or DIP packaging for commercial -40°C to +85°C applications at lower cost. For designs that do not require MIL-grade hermetic packaging or the -55°C lower temperature bound, CD74HC165 in SOIC-16 is typically 50% to 70% less expensive per unit while offering identical 8-bit PISO logic function on the same 2 V to 6 V supply range.
