Product Overview: SN74LV165APWG4

The SN74LV165APWG4 is a high-performance, 8-bit parallel-load shift register designed and manufactured by Texas Instruments (TI), a leader in semiconductor solutions. This integrated circuit (IC) is part of TI's 'LV' family, which stands for 'Low-Voltage'. It operates with a wide voltage range of 2V to 5.5V, making it suitable for interfacing with both TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) and CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) logic levels.

The SN74LV165APWG4 is tailored for serial-to-parallel data conversion applications. It captures data on the rising edge of the clock signal, which allows for seamless integration into synchronous data systems. The parallel data is loaded into the register using a parallel-in access mode, and then this data is serially shifted out upon subsequent clock cycles.

Key features of the SN74LV165APWG4 include:

• 8-bit serial or parallel input/output
• Wide operating voltage range (2V to 5.5V)
• Direct overriding clear function
• Complies with JEDEC standard no. 7A
• Supports 5V tolerant inputs
• Low power consumption
• High-impedance outputs when disabled
• Shift/Preset loading structure
• Output clock (CP) and output enable (OE) controls

This device comes in a TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package) form factor with the part number PWG4 suffix, which is known for its reduced space requirement on a printed circuit board (PCB) without sacrificing performance. The SN74LV165APWG4 is ideal for use in a wide range of applications, including data acquisition systems, instrumentation, microprocessor systems, and any other systems that require a high-speed, low-power, and reliable means of converting parallel data to serial form.

With its robust design and flexible functionality, the SN74LV165APWG4 from Texas Instruments is a solid choice for designers who need a dependable and efficient way to handle serial data communication in their digital systems.
