74HC165 Parallel-In Serial-Out Shift Register

8-bit parallel-in, serial-out shift register for reading many buttons or digital inputs through shared latch, clock, and serial data pins. D0–D7 connect to external input lines; multiple devices can be daisy-chained to read large input arrays using only 3 MCU GPIO pins.
