You need to grab eight parallel signals and walk them out one pin at a time — maybe for a microcontroller that only has a serial port, or a display multiplexer that's been fighting you. The 74HC165 does exactly that. Eight-bit parallel input, serial shift output, HC-series CMOS timing. Solder it in, clock it, and your data flows where you want it to go
