The SN74ALS166 parallel-load 8-bit shift register
is compatible with most other TTL logic families.
All inputs are buffered to lower the drive
requirements. Input clamping diodes minimize
switching transients and simplify system design.

These parallel-in or serial-in, serial-out registers have a complexity of 77 equivalent gates on the chip. They
feature gated clocks (CLK and CLK INH) inputs and an overriding clear (CLR) input. The parallel-in or serial-in
modes are established by the shift/load (SH/LD) input. When high, SH/LD enables the serial data (SER) input
and couples the eight flip-flops for serial shifting with each clock pulse. When low, the parallel (broadside) data
(A–H)inputsareenabledandsynchronousloadingoccursonthenextclockpulse. Duringparallelloading, serial
data flow is inhibited. Clocking is accomplished on the low-to-high-level edge of the clock pulse through a
two-input positive-NOR gate, permitting one input to be used as a clock-enable or clock-inhibit function. Holding
either of the clock inputs high inhibits clocking; holding either low enables the other clock input. This allows the
system clock to be free running and the register can be stopped on command with the clock input. CLK INH
shouldbechangedtothehighlevelonlywhenCLKishigh. ThebufferedCLRoverridesallotherinputs, including
CLK, and sets all flip-flops to zero.
The SN74ALS166 is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.
