74HC165AP is a type of IC (Integrated Circuit) manufactured by NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips Semiconductors). This is a circuit called a shift register and is used to sequentially output multiple pieces of data that are input in parallel. The 74HC165AP is an 8-bit input parallel-serial shift register that can input 8 bits of data simultaneously and output 1 bit at a time. Also, through the parallel load input, the shift process can be interrupted in the middle and new data loaded at any point.
The 74HC165AP is a general-purpose IC that is widely used as an input interface for digital circuits such as microcomputers and microprocessors, and in control systems.
