3 Description

The SN74LV8T165-Q1 device is a parallel- or serialin,

serial-out 8-bit shift register. This device has two

modes of operation: load data, and shift data which

are controlled by the SH/LD input. The output level is

referenced to the supply voltage (VCC) and supports

1.8-V, 2.5-V, 3.3-V, and 5-V CMOS levels.

The input is designed with a lower threshold circuit to

support up translation for lower voltage CMOS inputs

(for example 1.2 V input to 1.8 V output or 1.8 V input

to 3.3 V output). In addition, the 5-V tolerant input pins

enable down translation (for example 3.3 V to 2.5 V

output).
