CD74HCT165M datasheet by Texas Instruments

CD74HCT165M Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency that the CD74HCT165M can handle?
  The CD74HCT165M can handle clock frequencies up to 30 MHz.
• Can I use the CD74HCT165M with a 5V power supply?
  Yes, the CD74HCT165M is compatible with 5V power supplies, but it's recommended to use a 3.3V or 2.5V power supply for optimal performance.
• How do I ensure that the CD74HCT165M is properly synchronized with my system clock?
  To ensure proper synchronization, connect the clock input (CLK) to a stable clock source, and ensure that the clock signal meets the specified rise and fall times. Also, use a bypass capacitor (e.g., 0.1 μF) between VCC and GND to reduce noise.
• What is the maximum input voltage that the CD74HCT165M can tolerate?
  The CD74HCT165M can tolerate input voltages up to 5.5V, but it's recommended to keep input voltages within the specified range (VCC + 0.5V) to ensure reliable operation.
• Can I use the CD74HCT165M in a high-temperature environment?
  The CD74HCT165M is rated for operation up to 85°C (junction temperature). However, it's recommended to derate the device for high-temperature operation to ensure reliable performance.
