74HCT165D-Q100,118

The 74HCT165D-Q100 has become a go-to component for a wide range of electronic applications. This 8-bit parallel-in serial-out shift register is part of the Logic - Shift Registers component family, and is incredibly versatile and simple to use. This piece can be used for all kinds of projects, from connecting transistors and integrating circuits, to servicing robot controllers and tracking light intensity.

The primary workings of the 74HCT165D-Q100 are relatively simple, with only two main functions: parallel-in serial-out and serial-in serial-out. As the names suggest, these two functions indicate how data is manipulated by the component. In parallel-in serial-out mode, the component takes in data, 1 bit at a time, through a parallel input port and then shifts the data serially out of the component. In serial-in serial-out mode, the component takes incoming data serially and shifts the data out serially. With this versatility in design, the component can be used in applications such as robotic arms, where the shift register is used to store data of the arm’s position and input positions from the robot’s external sensors.

Other possible applications of the 74HCT165D-Q100 involve manipulating data between multiple circuits. It can be used as a type of intermediary, acting as a communication hub for other components and 32-bit microcontrollers. As an example, the component can act as a data buffer between a microcontroller and a flash memory device, where the microcontroller sends data in parallel form to the shift register, and then the shift register passes the data to the flash memory device in serial form.

Not only is the 74HCT165D-Q100 versatile in the multiple possible applications, but it also has a high level of integrity against electrical disruptions. This component has a power-on reset feature that provides a 0-value output during initialization and after a glitch, ensuring the value is accurate. Ultimately, this component is an essential tool in the development of many advanced electronic systems, and with its advanced features and low power consumption, the 74HCT165D-Q100 is is an ideal component for any design package.
