Product details
Overview
74AHCT164S14-13 from Diodes Incorporated is an 8-bit serial-in, parallel-out edge-triggered shift register with TTL-compatible inputs, asynchronous master reset (MR), dual ANDed serial data inputs (DSA/DSB), and positive-edge clock (CP). It operates from 4.5V to 5.5V, delivers 8mA output drive at VCC = 4.5V, and supports up to 125MHz clock frequency with 15pF load. Used in PC peripheral interfaces for data serialization between microcontrollers and LED arrays or display drivers.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHCT164S14-13 datasheet, 74AHCT164S14-13 pinout, 74AHCT164S14-13 application, or 74AHCT164S14-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include asynchronous reset timing (trec = 2.5ns), setup/hold requirements (tSU = 4.5ns, tH = 2.0ns), output drive capability (VOH ≥ 3.94V @ IOH = –8mA), and SO-14 package compatibility with legacy 74-series footprints.
Technical Context
The device implements eight cascaded D-type flip-flops with synchronous serial shifting and asynchronous active-low reset. Data enters Q0 on the rising edge of CP only when DSA and DSB are logically ANDed - enabling flexible enable/data gating without external logic. All outputs (Q0–Q7) are buffered CMOS, supporting fan-out to standard TTL loads.
Input Schmitt triggers provide noise immunity on CP, MR, DSA, and DSB pins. ESD protection exceeds JESD22-A114 (2000V HBM), A115 (200V MM), and C101 (1000V CDM), making it suitable for industrial board-level environments with moderate electrostatic risk.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5V to 5.5V - ensures compatibility with 5V TTL and mixed-voltage systems without level-shifting. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 125 MHz (CL = 15pF) - enables high-speed serial-to-parallel conversion in real-time control loops. |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA at VCC = 4.5V - directly drives LEDs or standard TTL inputs without external buffers. |
| Propagation Delay | 3.4 ns typical (CP to Qn, CL = 15pF) - supports tight timing budgets in synchronous data pipelines. |
| Reset Recovery Time | 2.5 ns - allows rapid reinitialization after fault conditions without clock cycle loss. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH ≥ 2.0V, VIL ≤ 0.8V - guarantees robust logic-level recognition across temperature and voltage variation. |
| Power Dissipation | 4.0 μA typical ICC (no load) - minimizes quiescent current in battery-backed or low-power standby modes. |
Pinout & Package
74AHCT164S14-13 is supplied in a 14-pin SOIC (SO-14) package with 1.27 mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant outline, and surface-mount footprint (5.0 × 3.9 mm body, 1.73 mm max height). Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DSA) | Serial Data Input A | One input of 2-input AND gate feeding Q0; used with DSB for gated data entry or as standalone enable. |
| 2 (DSB) | Serial Data Input B | Second input of AND gate; tying DSB HIGH makes DSA the sole serial input path. |
| 3 (Q0) | Stage 0 Output | First-stage parallel output; receives serial data on CP rising edge and shifts to Q1 on next edge. |
| 8 (CP) | Clock Pulse Input | Positive-edge-triggered control signal; all internal state changes occur synchronously on rising transition. |
| 9 (MR) | Master Reset | Asynchronous active-low reset; forces Q0–Q7 LOW independent of CP or data inputs. |
| 14 (VCC) | Supply Voltage | Primary power rail; must be decoupled locally with 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| 7 (GND) | Ground Reference | Return path for all internal logic and output currents; requires low-impedance PCB connection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual ANDed Serial Inputs | Enables hardware-selectable data gating: one pin acts as enable while the other carries data, eliminating external AND gates. |
| Asynchronous Master Reset | Guarantees deterministic initialization within 2.5 ns of MR assertion, critical for fail-safe system recovery. |
| TTL-Compatible Inputs | Accepts standard 5V TTL logic levels (VIL ≤ 0.8V, VIH ≥ 2.0V) without interface resistors or level shifters. |
| Schmitt Trigger Inputs | Provides >0.8V hysteresis on CP, MR, DSA, and DSB - suppresses noise-induced false triggering in noisy industrial environments. |
| CMOS Low-Power Operation | Draws only 4.0 μA typical supply current at 5.5V with no load - extends battery life in portable diagnostic tools. |
Applications
| LED Display Driver Interface | Microcontroller GPIO Expansion |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 8-segment LED displays or 8×8 LED matrices from a single microcontroller UART or bit-banged GPIO. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Serial-to-parallel converter that translates compact serial commands into parallel output states synchronized to CP edges. Use Value: Reduces MCU pin count by 7 (vs. direct 8-bit parallel drive) while maintaining precise timing control via programmable CP frequency. | Use Scenario: Expanding limited GPIO resources on Cortex-M0+ or PIC16 microcontrollers for industrial sensor readout or relay control banks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous shift register providing additional parallel output latches controlled by a shared clock and reset line. Use Value: Enables deterministic, glitch-free output updates across all 8 bits using a single CP edge - avoids partial-state transitions during software writes. |
| Legacy Peripheral Data Serialization | Industrial Control Bus Interface |
Use Scenario: Interfacing modern MCUs with legacy parallel-interface peripherals (e.g., older LCD controllers or printer ports) via serial backplane. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Protocol bridge converting SPI/I²C-like serial streams into parallel byte-aligned data bursts. Use Value: Eliminates need for FPGA or dedicated ASIC by providing deterministic 8-bit parallel output with sub-10ns propagation delay. | Use Scenario: Implementing distributed I/O modules in PLC backplanes where serial configuration data is loaded into local latch registers before parallel activation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Configuration register holding startup states for downstream drivers, initialized via daisy-chained CP/DSA lines. Use Value: Supports hot-plug initialization via MR pulse and guaranteed Qn=0 reset state - prevents undefined outputs during module insertion. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit serial-in parallel-out shift register applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AHCT595PWR | Includes output latch (separate STCP) and 3-state outputs; no dual ANDed inputs; same VCC range and SO-16 package. | Requires separate latch strobe for output hold; better suited for driving multiplexed displays where output isolation is needed. | Select when output latching or tri-state capability is required; avoid if minimal pin count and simple shift-only operation are priorities. |
| 74LV164PW,118 | Lower VCC range (1.0–5.5V); higher max fMAX (120MHz @ 3.3V); TSSOP-14 package; no Schmitt triggers on inputs. | Better for mixed-voltage 3.3V/5V systems but lacks noise immunity on CP/DSB in electrically noisy factory floors. | Select for 3.3V-centric designs with tight space constraints; avoid in high-noise industrial settings where Schmitt-triggered clocks are essential. |
Compared with SN74AHCT595PWR and 74LV164PW,118, the 74AHCT164S14-13 offers superior noise immunity via Schmitt-triggered inputs, simpler control (no separate latch clock), and direct TTL compatibility - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, noise-prone 5V embedded control applications requiring deterministic reset and minimal external components.

FAQ
Can 74AHCT164S14-13 operate reliably at 3.3V supply?
No. The 74AHCT164S14-13 is specified only for 4.5V to 5.5V operation per its Recommended Operating Conditions. At 3.3V, VIH minimum (2.0V) becomes marginal relative to VCC, and output drive (8mA) and speed (125MHz) are not guaranteed. Use 74LV164 or 74LVC164 for 3.3V systems.
What happens if both DSA and DSB are held HIGH during CP rising edge?
When both DSA and DSB are HIGH, the internal AND gate outputs HIGH, causing logic '1' to be loaded into Q0 on the next CP rising edge. This behavior is fully defined in the Function Table and enables predictable data loading without external combinational logic.
Is the MR pin truly asynchronous, and does it override CP and data inputs?
Yes. MR is asynchronous and active-low: asserting MR LOW immediately forces Q0–Q7 to LOW regardless of CP state, DSA/DSB values, or previous register contents. Recovery requires MR to return HIGH for ≥2.5ns before the next CP edge to ensure valid operation.
Does the SO-14 package support reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020?
Yes. The SO-14 package for 74AHCT164S14-13 is qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C, 10s max), matching JEDEC J-STD-020D. Thermal pad layout guidelines and recommended stencil design are provided in Diodes' AP02001 document.
