What are the key features of CD74HCT165ME4?

  • 8-bit parallel-in serial-out architecture efficiently converts parallel data to serial streams for SPI and microcontroller interfaces
  • HCT family 5V CMOS inputs with TTL-compatible thresholds ensure direct interfacing with both CMOS and TTL logic systems
  • Up to 18 MHz maximum clock frequency enables high-speed serial data transfer in demanding digital applications
  • SISO operation option provides additional flexibility for cascading multiple shift registers to expand input width

What is CD74HCT165ME4 used for?

The CD74HCT165ME4 is widely used in microcontroller and FPGA systems to expand the number of digital inputs by converting parallel switch or sensor states into a serial bitstream over a standard SPI interface. It is commonly found in industrial control panels, keyboard matrix scanners, and test equipment where multiple binary signals must be read with minimal microcontroller I/O pins. Its HCT logic family compatibility allows direct connection to both legacy TTL circuits and modern CMOS-based digital systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the function of the CD74HCT165ME4?

The CD74HCT165ME4 is an 8-bit parallel-in serial-out shift register that loads 8 parallel data bits simultaneously and then shifts them out serially on each clock edge. This allows a microcontroller to read 8 digital inputs using only 3 SPI lines, reducing the required I/O pin count significantly.

What logic family does the CD74HCT165ME4 belong to?

The CD74HCT165ME4 belongs to the HCT (High-speed CMOS with TTL-compatible inputs) logic family. It operates from a 5V supply with input switching thresholds compatible with TTL-level signals, making it suitable for mixed TTL/CMOS designs and direct connection to 5V TTL outputs without level translation.

What is the maximum operating frequency of the CD74HCT165ME4?

The CD74HCT165ME4 supports a maximum clock frequency of 18 MHz at nominal supply voltage, enabling fast serial data readout from all 8 parallel inputs. This bandwidth is more than adequate for keyboard scanning, switch debouncing, and other typical industrial and consumer input expansion applications.

Can multiple CD74HCT165ME4 devices be cascaded?

Yes, the CD74HCT165ME4 includes a serial input (SER) pin that allows daisy-chaining of multiple devices. By connecting the serial output of one chip to the serial input of the next, designers can cascade two or more ICs to read 16, 24, or more parallel inputs over a single 3-wire SPI interface with no additional microcontroller pins.

What package does the CD74HCT165ME4 use?

The CD74HCT165ME4 is available in a 16-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) surface-mount package coded R-PDSO-G16. The ME4 suffix designates the military-grade temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and RoHS-compliant lead-free construction, making it suitable for rugged environments beyond standard commercial temperature ranges.
