Product details
Overview
74AHCT164BQ-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-grade 8-bit serial-in/parallel-out shift register with dual active-HIGH data inputs (DSA, DSB), eight CMOS-compatible parallel outputs (Q0–Q7), edge-triggered clock (CP), and asynchronous master reset (MR). It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, supports -40 °C to +125 °C ambient range, and features overvoltage-tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V-enabling mixed-voltage interfacing in body control modules and lighting drivers.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHCT164BQ-Q100 datasheet, 74AHCT164BQ-Q100 pinout, 74AHCT164BQ-Q100 application, or 74AHCT164BQ-Q100 equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL-level input compatibility, DHVQFN14 package with side-wettable flanks for AOI, propagation delay ≤11.5 ns at 5 V/50 pF, MR-to-Qn timing ≤11.0 ns, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification for under-hood automotive use.
Technical Context
This device implements a synchronous 8-stage shift register using positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flops, where data enters serially via either DSA or DSB-each acting as an enable for the other-and shifts on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of CP. The MR input asynchronously clears all stages to logic LOW independent of clock or data state.
Input thresholds are TTL-compatible (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V), output drive capability is ±8 mA, and Schmitt-trigger action on all inputs ensures robust noise immunity. The DHVQFN14 package (SOT762-1) provides thermal enhancement and solder-joint inspection capability via side-wettable flanks.

| 13 (Q7) | Parallel output 7 | MSB of parallel output; matches timing skew across all outputs to <1.5 ns |
| 14 (VCC) | Supply voltage | 5 V nominal rail; overvoltage tolerance to 7.0 V absolute maximum prevents damage during load dump |

FAQ
Is the 74AHCT164BQ-Q100 pin-compatible with the 74AHC164BQ-Q100?
Yes-both share identical DHVQFN14 (SOT762-1) pinout, terminal numbering, and functional block diagram. The only differences are input threshold levels (TTL vs. CMOS) and static current draw; no PCB redesign is needed when swapping between them in existing layouts.
Can DSA and DSB be driven simultaneously with different logic levels?
No-driving both DSA and DSB HIGH simultaneously violates the function table and results in undefined output behavior. The device requires one input to be HIGH (enabling the other) and the other to carry data; simultaneous assertion is not a supported operating mode.
What is the purpose of the exposed thermal pad on the DHVQFN14 package?
The exposed pad (terminal 1 index area) has no electrical function and requires no solder connection. If soldered, it must remain electrically floating or be connected to GND; its primary role is mechanical stability and thermal dissipation-not signal integrity or grounding.
Does the MR pin require a pull-up resistor in automotive systems?
Yes-a 10 kΩ pull-up to VCC is recommended to ensure MR remains HIGH during power-up and prevents unintended register clearing. The device does not include internal pull-ups, and automotive power sequencing often causes MR to float momentarily during ramp-up.
