Product details
Overview
74AHCT164T14-13 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 drive at VCC = 4.5V, and supports up to 125MHz clock frequency with 15pF load. It is used in PC peripheral interfaces for serial-to-parallel data conversion in legacy I/O expansion.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHCT164T14-13 datasheet, 74AHCT164T14-13 pinout, 74AHCT164T14-13 application, or 74AHCT164T14-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include asynchronous reset timing (trec = 2.5ns), setup/hold compliance (tSU = 4.5ns, tH = 2.0ns), output drive strength, and TSSOP-14 thermal profile for space-constrained PCB layouts.
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 both HIGH (logically ANDed), enabling flexible enable/data gating. All outputs (Q0–Q7) update simultaneously on each clock edge.
Its Schmitt-trigger inputs improve noise immunity on serial and clock lines, while CMOS core ensures low static power (ICC ≤ 4.0μA typical) and TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8V, VIH ≥ 2.0V) for mixed-logic interfacing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5V to 5.5V - Ensures compatibility with standard 5V TTL/CMOS systems and stable operation across industrial temperature range. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 125 MHz (CL = 15pF) - Supports high-speed serial loading in real-time I/O controllers without pipeline stalls. |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA at VCC = 4.5V - Sufficient to directly drive multiple 74-series inputs or LED indicators without external buffers. |
| Setup/Hold Time | tSU = 4.5 ns, tH = 2.0 ns - Enables reliable operation with fast microcontroller SPI peripherals or FPGA GPIOs. |
| Propagation Delay | tPD = 3.4 ns (typ), 9.0 ns (max) - Guarantees deterministic timing alignment across all eight parallel outputs. |
| ESD Protection | 2 kV HBM, 1 kV CDM - Meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 for board-level handling and system integration robustness. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-14 package: 4.9 mm × 4.4 mm × 1.1 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed pad optional, RoHS-compliant, halogen-free "Green" construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DSA) | Serial Data Input A | One input of AND gate feeding Q0; must be HIGH with DSB to enable data entry - enables hardware gating of serial stream. |
| 2 (DSB) | Serial Data Input B | Second input of AND gate; tied HIGH if single-input mode used - provides flexible enable/data separation. |
| 3 (Q0) | Stage 0 Output | First-stage parallel output; receives serial data on CP rising edge - serves as LSB in byte-aligned shift operations. |
| 8 (CP) | Clock Pulse Input | Positive-edge triggered control signal; initiates simultaneous shift across all stages - defines timing boundary for data capture. |
| 9 (MR) | Master Reset | Asynchronous active-low reset; forces all Q0–Q7 LOW independent of CP or data - ensures known state on power-up or fault recovery. |
| 14 (VCC) | Power Supply | +4.5V to +5.5V supply rail; decoupling required within 5 mm of pin - powers internal logic and output drivers. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual ANDed Serial Inputs | DSA and DSB logically ANDed before Q0 - allows one pin to act as hardware enable while the other carries data, simplifying control logic. |
| Asynchronous Master Reset | MR asserts independently of clock or data - guarantees immediate, deterministic initialization without waiting for clock edge. |
| TTL-Compatible Inputs | VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V - interoperates directly with legacy 5V microcontrollers and bus transceivers without level-shifting. |
| Schmitt-Trigger Inputs | Hysteresis on DSA, DSB, CP, MR - suppresses noise-induced false triggering on long traces or noisy environments. |
Applications
| PC Peripheral Expansion | Legacy Industrial I/O Module |
|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AHCT164PW | TSSOP-14 package, identical electrical specs and pinout - fully pin- and function-compatible. | No difference; same use cases and layout compatibility. | Select when TI-sourced supply chain or dual-sourcing strategy is required. |
| 74LV164PW | Lower VCC range (1.0–5.5V), reduced drive (±6mA), higher propagation delay (13ns max). | Suitable for mixed-voltage systems but not drop-in replacement in 5V-only designs requiring 125MHz operation. | Choose only if 3.3V/5V dual-rail operation is needed and speed margin allows. |
Compared with SN74AHCT164PW and 74LV164PW, the 74AHCT164T14-13 offers guaranteed 125MHz operation at 5V, tighter timing margins, and Diodes' extended industrial temperature support (−40°C to +125°C), making it optimal for high-reliability 5V legacy systems.

FAQ
Can 74AHCT164T14-13 operate reliably at 5.5V supply?
Yes. The device is rated for VCC = 4.5V to 5.5V per its Recommended Operating Conditions. At 5.5V, VOH remains ≥4.4V (IOH = −50μA), VOL stays ≤0.1V (IOL = 50μA), and ICC increases to ≤80μA - all within specification limits across −40°C to +125°C.
What happens if only DSA is used and DSB is left floating?
Leaving DSB floating violates the Absolute Maximum Ratings and may cause undefined behavior due to input noise susceptibility. Per datasheet Note 9, unused inputs must be tied to VCC or GND. For single-input operation, tie DSB to VCC to enable DSA as the sole data path.
Is the master reset (MR) truly asynchronous and immune to clock glitches?
Yes. MR is asynchronous and overrides all other inputs including CP, DSA, and DSB. When asserted LOW, it forces Q0–Q7 to LOW immediately - no clock edge required. Recovery time (trec = 2.5ns) must elapse before the next CP edge to ensure stable operation.
Does this part support hot insertion or live plugging into powered systems?
No. The 74AHCT164T14-13 lacks hot-swap protection circuitry. Its absolute maximum ratings specify VI = −0.5V to +7.0V, but applying voltage to inputs before VCC is stable risks latch-up or damage. Power sequencing per manufacturer guidelines is required.
