Product details
Overview
74AHCT164D,112 from Nexperia is an 8-bit serial-in/parallel-out shift register with dual active-HIGH data inputs (DSA and DSB), eight buffered parallel outputs (Q0–Q7), master reset (MR) active LOW, and edge-triggered clock (CP) on LOW-to-HIGH transitions. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, supports -40 °C to +125 °C ambient, and features TTL-level input thresholds for direct compatibility with legacy logic systems. Used in LED matrix drivers and microcontroller GPIO expansion.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHCT164D,112 datasheet, 74AHCT164D,112 pinout, 74AHCT164D,112 application, or 74AHCT164D,112 equivalent, key selection factors include its dual-input data enable logic, guaranteed 11.5 ns max propagation delay at 5 V/50 pF, MR asynchronous clear behavior, SO14 package thermal derating profile, and TTL-compatible VIH/VIL thresholds - all critical for deterministic timing in synchronous digital control paths.
Technical Context
The device implements a synchronous 8-stage positive-edge-triggered shift register with asynchronous active-LOW master reset. Data entry is controlled by mutual enable logic: DSA acts as data path when DSB = HIGH, and vice versa - enabling flexible serial data routing without external gating.
Input thresholds are fixed at VIH = 2.0 V (min) and VIL = 0.8 V (max) across temperature and supply, ensuring robust noise margin against TTL-family sources. Output drive strength is specified at ±8 mA under 4.5–5.5 V, with VOL ≤ 0.55 V and VOH ≥ 3.70 V at full load, supporting direct interface to 5 V CMOS and TTL loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | 8-bit serial-in/parallel-out shift register with dual data inputs and asynchronous reset |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with 5 V TTL and mixed-voltage system rails |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | Max 11.5 ns at VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF - enables reliable operation up to 65 MHz in high-speed control loops |
| Input Thresholds | VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V - guarantees direct interfacing with standard TTL outputs without level shifting |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V - sufficient to directly drive LEDs or fan-out to ≥10 74-series inputs |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for industrial and under-hood automotive auxiliary modules |
| Reset Behavior | Asynchronous MR active LOW - clears all Q0–Q7 to LOW independently of clock or data state |
Pinout & Package
74AHCT164D,112 uses the SO14 (SOT108-1) plastic small outline package: 14-pin, 3.9 mm body width, 1.27 mm lead pitch, and gull-wing leads compatible with standard reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DSA) | Serial data input A | Primary serial data path; enabled only when DSB = HIGH - used for daisy-chained data injection |
| 2 (DSB) | Serial data input B | Secondary serial data path; enables DSA when HIGH - supports dual-source or gated serial input |
| 3 (Q0) | Parallel output 0 | LSB of shifted data; synchronized to CP edge; drives external logic or LED anode/cathode |
| 4 (Q1) | Parallel output 1 | Second bit output; identical electrical specs to Q0 - enables uniform load distribution across outputs |
| 5 (Q2) | Parallel output 2 | Third bit output; Schmitt-triggered input tolerance not applied to outputs - standard CMOS drive |
| 6 (Q3) | Parallel output 3 | Fourth bit output; no internal pull-up/down - requires external termination if left unconnected |
| 7 (GND) | Ground reference | 0 V return path for all internal logic and I/O; must be low-impedance to minimize ground bounce |
| 8 (CP) | Clock input | Positive-edge-triggered; LOW-to-HIGH transition advances shift register - minimum pulse width 5.0 ns |
| 9 (MR) | Master reset | Asynchronous active-LOW; forces Q0–Q7 = LOW regardless of CP or data state - no setup/hold required |
| 10 (Q4) | Parallel output 4 | Fifth bit output; electrically identical to Q0–Q3 - supports uniform timing across all 8 bits |
| 11 (Q5) | Parallel output 5 | Sixth bit output; same VOH/VOL specs as other outputs - ensures consistent logic levels in bus applications |
| 12 (Q6) | Parallel output 6 | Seventh bit output; no internal latch - output reflects current register state immediately after CP edge |
| 13 (Q7) | Parallel output 7 | MSB output; final stage of shift chain - used for overflow detection or feedback to DSA/DSB |
| 14 (VCC) | Supply voltage | +4.5 V to +5.5 V power rail; bypass capacitor (100 nF) required within 10 mm of pin for stable operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent serial inputs | DSA and DSB provide hardware-selectable data paths - eliminates need for external multiplexers in multi-source systems |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | VIH ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V ensure direct connection to 74LS/74F outputs without level translation |
| Asynchronous master reset | MR asserts instantly across all 8 stages - enables deterministic initialization in safety-critical sequencing |
| High noise immunity | Input hysteresis and balanced propagation delays reduce susceptibility to EMI-induced glitches on CP or MR lines |
| Extended temperature range | Specified from -40 °C to +125 °C - validated for use in motor control enclosures and industrial PLC backplanes |

|---|---|---|---|
| 74AHC164D,112 | CMOS-level inputs (VIH ≥ 3.85 V @ VCC = 5.5 V); wider 2.0–5.5 V supply range | Better suited for mixed-voltage systems with 3.3 V controllers driving 5 V peripherals | Select when interfacing with 3.3 V microcontrollers or requiring ultra-low ICC (< 4 μA typical) |
| SN74HC164N | Single D input (no DSB); wider 2.0–6.0 V supply; no overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Lacks dual-input flexibility and MR timing margin - less suitable for fault-tolerant designs | Choose only for cost-sensitive, single-source serial applications with no requirement for input enable logic |

FAQ
Can 74AHCT164D,112 operate reliably at 3.3 V supply?
No - the 74AHCT164D,112 is TTL-input-optimized and specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation. At 3.3 V, VIH = 2.0 V exceeds 60% of VCC, violating input threshold ratio requirements and risking metastability. Use 74AHC164D,112 instead for 3.3 V systems.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported with 50 pF load?
At VCC = 5.0 V and CL = 50 pF, the 74AHCT164D,112 supports up to 65 MHz (fmax = 65 MHz per Table 7), derived from tpd ≤ 11.5 ns and setup/hold timing margins. This assumes clean 5 V CMOS clock edges with < 5 ns rise/fall times.
How does the dual-input (DSA/DSB) logic function in practice?
DSA and DSB implement OR-enable logic: data enters through DSA only when DSB = HIGH, and through DSB only when DSA = HIGH. When both are LOW, no data shifts; when both are HIGH, the device latches the last valid input - enabling hardware-selectable serial sources without software arbitration.
Is the SO14 package RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes - the 74AHCT164D,112 in SO14 (SOT108-1) packaging meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is lead-free, with matte tin (Sn) lead finish and halogen-free molding compound, verified per Nexperia's product compliance documentation dated March 2024.
