74166 DIP Parallel-Load 8-Bit Shift Register

74166 DIP Parallel-Load 8-Bit Shift Register

The 74166 DIP 8-bit shift register is a versatile parallel-load IC. It stores and shifts data in digital circuits. This chip is ideal for hobbyists and engineers. It works with TTL logic levels. Use it in counters, buffers, and data transfer systems.

This 8-bit shift register loads data in parallel. It shifts data serially on each clock pulse. The DIP package fits standard breadboards and PCBs. It operates from 0°C to 70°C. The IC requires a 5V supply. It has a typical propagation delay of 25 ns.

The 8-bit shift register accepts eight bits at once. It then moves them out one bit per clock cycle. This makes it perfect for serial communication. You can also use it to expand output pins. The parallel load feature saves time. You do not need to shift in each bit. The master reset clears all data instantly. This helps in error recovery and system resets. The 8-bit shift register works with other TTL chips. It connects easily to microcontrollers and sensors. The 25 ns delay keeps your system fast. The 0°C to 70°C range covers most indoor uses. The DIP-16 package is easy to handle. You can solder it or use a socket. This 8-bit shift register is a workhorse for digital design.
