What are the key features of SN74ALS165DE4?

  • 8-bit parallel-in serial-out (PISO) shift register
  • Maximum clock frequency of 45 MHz
  • Synchronous parallel load and right-shift operation
  • 8 mA output current drive with 50 pF load rating
  • 16-pin SOIC package (R-PDSO-G16)
  • ALS family for low-power high-speed logic performance

What is SN74ALS165DE4 used for?

The SN74ALS165DE4 is used in microcontroller systems to expand the number of digital inputs via a single SPI-compatible 3-wire interface, enabling keyboard matrix scanning, DIP switch reading, and sensor bank polling over just 3 MCU pins. Its 45 MHz maximum clock rate supports high-speed data acquisition in industrial PLC input modules and instrumentation front-ends. It is also cascaded in series to read 16, 24, or 32 parallel inputs from a single serial stream.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can the SN74ALS165DE4 shift data, and does clock speed affect load capacitance tolerance?

The SN74ALS165DE4 supports clock frequencies up to 45 MHz, enabling serial output of all 8 bits in under 180 ns at maximum speed. The device is rated for 50 pF load capacitance on its serial output, so traces longer than a few centimeters may require buffering to maintain signal integrity at full 45 MHz clock rates.

Can multiple SN74ALS165DE4 devices be cascaded to read more than 8 parallel inputs?

Yes, the serial output (QH) of one device feeds directly into the serial data input (DS) of the next, allowing multiple 8-bit stages to be daisy-chained. Reading 3 cascaded devices yields 24 parallel inputs over a single 3-wire SPI interface with a 24-clock burst, which is sufficient for many industrial digital input expansion applications.

What load current can the serial output of this shift register drive?

The output is rated for a maximum low-level sink current of 8 mA and 50 pF capacitance, which is compatible with standard logic inputs and optocoupler LED inputs for isolated I/O modules. If driving longer cables or higher-capacitance loads above 50 pF, an external buffer or line driver should be added to maintain timing margins at 45 MHz.

How does SN74ALS165DE4 compare to HC-family shift registers for industrial designs?

The ALS family operates at 5 V with propagation delays typically below 15 ns, providing faster switching than HC devices at the same 5 V supply. ALS also offers better noise margin than LSTTL and lower quiescent current than standard TTL, making SN74ALS165DE4 a well-balanced choice for 5 V industrial applications where 45 MHz throughput and moderate 8 mA drive capability are required.
