Product details
Overview
74HCT165PW,118 from Nexperia is an 8-bit parallel-in/serial-out shift register with TTL-compatible inputs, asynchronous parallel load (PL), synchronous serial shift capability, dual complementary outputs (Q7 and Q7), and operation across -40 °C to +125 °C. It enables parallel-to-serial data conversion in microcontroller GPIO expansion, industrial I/O monitoring, and legacy bus interface bridging.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT165PW,118 datasheet, 74HCT165PW,118 pinout, 74HCT165PW,118 application, or 74HCT165PW,118 equivalent, this device supports high-noise-immunity level shifting (up to 15 V tolerant inputs), operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, delivers sub-50 ns propagation delay at 5 V, and features dual serial outputs for cascading or differential signaling.
Technical Context
The 74HCT165PW,118 implements a synchronous 8-stage shift register with edge-triggered clock (CP) and active-low clock enable (CE). Its asynchronous parallel load (PL) allows immediate capture of D0–D7 without clock dependency, enabling latch-and-shift timing control in real-time systems.
It uses standard CMOS silicon with TTL-level input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 5 V), supports 50 pF capacitive loading, and maintains guaranteed output drive (±4 mA) across its full temperature range - critical for robust signal integrity in industrial control backplanes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with 5 V TTL logic families and stable operation under rail variation. |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 17 ns (typ) to Q7 at VCC = 4.5 V - enables reliable 26 MHz maximum clock frequency in high-speed serial data pipelines. |
| Input voltage thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - guarantees clean recognition of standard 5 V TTL logic levels without external level-shifting. |
| Output drive strength | ±4.0 mA at VOH/VOL - sufficient to directly drive multiple 74-series inputs or short PCB traces without buffering. |
| Operating temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial PLC, and power supply control applications. |
| ESD protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - reduces risk of field failure during handling and board assembly in uncontrolled environments. |
| Power dissipation capacitance | CPD = 35 pF - enables accurate dynamic power estimation (PD = CPD × VCC² × fi) for thermal budgeting. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP16 plastic thin shrink small outline package (SOT403-1); 16-pin, 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm pitch; lead-free and RoHS compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (PL) | Asynchronous parallel load input | Active-LOW signal that immediately loads D0–D7 into register regardless of clock state - used for snapshot acquisition. |
| 2 (CP) | Clock input | LOW-to-HIGH edge-triggered; advances shift register only when CE = LOW - defines precise timing for serial data movement. |
| 7 (Q7) | Serial output (MSB) | True output of final stage; provides shifted-out bit after eight clocks - used for daisy-chaining or MCU SPI input. |
| 9 (Q7) | Complementary serial output | Inverted version of Q7; enables differential signaling or wired-OR logic without external inverters. |
| 10 (DS) | Serial data input | Accepts new bit during shift mode; sampled on CP rising edge when PL = HIGH and CE = LOW - forms serial input path. |
| 11–14, 3–6 (D0–D7) | Parallel data inputs | Eight independent inputs loaded simultaneously on PL LOW - used for reading 8-bit status registers or switch banks. |
| 15 (CE) | Clock enable | Active-LOW gate for CP; disables shifting when HIGH - allows clock gating for power saving or conditional data flow. |
| 16 (VCC), 8 (GND) | Power supply terminals | Single 5 V supply with dedicated ground; decoupling required within 10 mm of pins for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible inputs | VIH/VIL thresholds match legacy 5 V TTL logic, eliminating need for level translators in mixed-logic systems. |
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Withstands up to 15 V on any input pin - enables safe interfacing with higher-voltage sensors or open-collector buses. |
| Dual complementary outputs | Q7 and Q7 provide true/inverted serial streams simultaneously - supports differential receivers or eliminates external inverters. |
| Asynchronous parallel load | PL asserts instantly, capturing parallel data independent of clock timing - essential for time-critical sampling (e.g., encoder position). |
| Industrial temperature range | Specified from -40 °C to +125 °C - validated for use in motor drives, power converters, and outdoor infrastructure equipment. |
Applications
| Microcontroller GPIO Expansion | Industrial I/O Monitoring |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Adding 8 digital inputs to an MCU with limited GPIO, such as reading pushbutton arrays or dip-switch configurations. IC Role / Device Role: Parallel-to-serial converter that compresses 8-bit parallel status into a single serial stream compatible with SPI or bit-banged UART. Use Value: Reduces required MCU pins from 8 to 3 (CP, DS, PL), simplifies PCB routing, and avoids dedicated I/O expander ICs. |
Use Scenario: Monitoring status of 8 relay contacts or sensor flags in a programmable logic controller (PLC) backplane. IC Role / Device Role: Input aggregator that captures synchronized snapshots of distributed I/O states via PL, then shifts data out for central processing. Use Value: Enables deterministic, cycle-aligned sampling of all 8 inputs - critical for safety-critical state machine synchronization. |
| Legacy Bus Interface Bridging | LED Matrix Column Driver Control |
|
Use Scenario: Interfacing a modern microcontroller to an older 8-bit parallel data bus (e.g., ISA-style control lines or printer port signals). IC Role / Device Role: Protocol translator that latches parallel bus data on PL and serializes it for MCU consumption via CP/DS. Use Value: Eliminates need for FPGA or complex software polling; provides hardware-level timing alignment with legacy bus strobes. |
Use Scenario: Driving column select lines in a multiplexed LED display where columns are activated sequentially using serial data. IC Role / Device Role: Serial-to-parallel decoder that converts MCU-generated serial column address into active-high column enable signals (D0–D7). Use Value: Allows dynamic column reordering and brightness control via software-configurable shift patterns, reducing firmware complexity. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parallel-in/serial-out shift register applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT165DR | TSSOP-16 package, identical logic function and pinout; same 4.5–5.5 V supply and -40 °C to +125 °C rating. | No functional difference; TI part exhibits marginally tighter tpd variance (17–43 ns vs. Nexperia's 17–51 ns) but same typical value. | Select for multi-source procurement or existing TI-design ecosystems; requires no layout or firmware changes. |
| 74HC165PW,118 | CMOS-input variant (VIH = 3.15 V min at 4.5 V); otherwise identical pinout, timing, and packaging. | Requires ≥3.15 V HIGH signal - unsuitable for direct TTL driving; better for low-power 3.3 V–5 V mixed-signal systems with CMOS drivers. | Choose when interfacing with 3.3 V microcontrollers or when lower ICC (8 μA typ) is prioritized over TTL compatibility. |
Compared with SN74HCT165DR, the 74HCT165PW,118 offers identical functionality with verified Nexperia reliability and extended availability assurance; versus 74HC165PW,118, it provides guaranteed TTL-level input recognition - essential for legacy 5 V system integration without level shifters.

FAQ
Can 74HCT165PW,118 operate at 3.3 V?
No - the 74HCT165PW,118 is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation. At 3.3 V, VIH threshold (2.0 V min) may not be reliably met by standard 3.3 V logic outputs, risking incorrect input recognition. Use 74HC165PW,118 for 3.3 V–5 V flexible supply operation.
What is the purpose of the Q7 and Q7 outputs?
Q7 provides the true serial output of the most significant bit; Q7 delivers its logical inverse. This dual-output architecture supports differential signaling, wired-OR logic, or direct connection to complementary-input receivers - eliminating external inverters in many designs.
How does the PL (parallel load) input interact with CE and CP?
PL operates asynchronously and overrides CE and CP: when PL is LOW, D0–D7 load immediately into the register regardless of CE or CP state. Only when PL is HIGH does the device enter serial shift mode, where CE must be LOW and CP edges advance data - ensuring deterministic mode separation.
Is the TSSOP16 package (SOT403-1) thermally adequate for continuous operation?
Yes - the SOT403-1 package has a thermal resistance θJA of ~118 K/W and supports 500 mW total power dissipation up to +91 °C ambient. At typical ICC < 160 μA and IO < ±4 mA, power dissipation remains well below derating limits even in enclosed industrial enclosures.
