Product details

8-bit shift register in the 74HC family

The SN74HC166PWR is an 8-bit parallel or serial-to-serial shift register from TI's 74HC logic family. It takes in data on eight parallel inputs or a single serial input and shifts it out on the serial output, controlled by a shift/load pin and a clock. The push-pull output stage drives standard CMOS or TTL loads directly. This part is a workhorse for expanding digital inputs on a microcontroller — think reading a bank of switches or a keypad over a few GPIO lines.

Supply range is 2V to 6V.

It's a current 74HC line item from TI, widely available through distribution. No last-time-buy risk here.

Frequently asked questions

Is SN74HC166PWR compatible with 5V logic?

Yes, the 2V to 6V supply range covers 5V operation. The inputs and outputs are 5V-tolerant at VCC = 5V, so it interfaces directly with 5V CMOS and TTL logic families.
