The ’LV165A devices are parallel-load, 8-bit shift registers designed for 2-V to 5.5-V VCC operation. When the devices are clocked, data is shifted toward the serial output QH. Parallel-in access to each stage is provided by eight individual direct data inputs that are enabled by a low level at the shift/load (SH/LD) input. The ’LV165A devices feature a clock-inhibit function and a complemented serial output, QH.
