Difference between CD74HC165E & 74HC165N

Other Hardware General Electronics
1

Hi,

I bought, without looking closely, three CD74HC165E ICs and one Philips 74HC165N. Every datasheet I find on the Philips one doesn't mention anything about the "N" variety. Both chips are 16-pin PDIP. Does anyone know if it's same to assume the Philips one will behave exactly the same as the other three?

Thanks a lot.

In general the prefix and suffix are specific to the manufacturer. They often denote the package style, etc.

The important bit is the "HC" - High-speed CMOS, and the numbers - 74 logic series, device 165.

Thank you!

Different manufacturers have different details of part numbering - the N suffix is mention in the NXP datasheet, the E suffix in the old Harris datasheet. 74HC series are High speed CMOS, run from 2 to 6V supply, all manufacturers should produce to the same specification. These are both DIP packaged parts.
