Shift register (input)

The 74HC165 is an 8-bit parallel-load or serial-in shift register.

Wiring:

• Pin 8 (GND): GND
• Pin 16 (VCC): Voltage 5V
• Pin 11-14 & 3-6 (A-H): Input 1-8
• Pin 1 (SH/LD): shift/load pin
• Pin 2 (CLK): Clock pin
• Pin 9 (QH): Data output pin
• Pin 15 (CLK INH): Clock-inhibit pin (or GND)

Clocking is accomplished by a low-to-high transition of the clock (CLK) input while SH/LD is held high and CLK INH is held low. CLK INH can be wired to GND to save a pin on the microcontroller. Unused inputs pins should be grounded as well.

Multiple 74HC165 ICs can be daisy chained by wiring the serial-out pin 9 (QH) to pin 10 (SER) of the succeeding IC allowing us to tie multiple 74165 ICs together that can be controlled using only 3 pins.

#define SO  2     // SER/DATA (Pin 9) of 74HC165 is connected to D2 of Arduino
