Product details
Overview
74HC164PW,112 from Nexperia is an 8-bit serial-in/parallel-out CMOS shift register in TSSOP14 package, featuring dual gated serial inputs (DSA/DSB), asynchronous master reset (MR), and edge-triggered clock (CP) operating from 2.0 V to 6.0 V. It delivers 8 parallel outputs (Q0–Q7), supports -40 °C to +125 °C operation, and is used in LED matrix drivers, GPIO expansion, and serial-to-parallel data conversion in industrial control panels.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC164PW,112 datasheet, 74HC164PW,112 pinout, 74HC164PW,112 application, or 74HC164PW,112 equivalent, this device is selected for low-power, TTL-compatible (74HCT variant) or CMOS-level serial data latching where precise timing, noise immunity, and wide supply range are required in space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 74HC164PW,112 implements an 8-stage D-type flip-flop chain with synchronous serial loading and asynchronous reset. Data shifts on LOW-to-HIGH CP transitions, with DSA and DSB acting as mutually enabling serial inputs-either can gate the other via active-HIGH logic.
Its internal architecture includes input clamp diodes for overvoltage tolerance, rail-to-rail output swing (VOH ≥ 4.4 V @ VCC = 4.5 V, IO = −4.0 mA), and guaranteed operation across industrial and extended temperature ranges (−40 °C to +125 °C) without derating below 81 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - enables direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Propagation delay (CP to Qn) | 15 ns (typ) @ VCC = 4.5 V - supports reliable 30 MHz clock operation in high-speed serial data pipelines. |
| Output drive strength | ±4.0 mA @ VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to directly drive LEDs or standard CMOS/TTL inputs without external buffers. |
| Input threshold (74HC) | VIH = 3.15 V, VIL = 1.35 V @ VCC = 4.5 V - ensures robust noise margin (>1.3 V) in noisy industrial environments. |
| Power dissipation capacitance | 40 pF - enables accurate dynamic power estimation (PD = CPD × VCC² × fi × N) for thermal-aware system design. |
| Operating temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules, motor drives, and industrial PLC I/O stages. |
| ESD protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - reduces risk of field failure during handling and board assembly. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP14 (SOT402-1) package: plastic thin shrink small outline, 14-lead, 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DSA) | Serial data input A | Primary serial input; gated by DSB - when DSB = HIGH, DSA data shifts in on CP rising edge. |
| 2 (DSB) | Serial data input B | Secondary serial input; acts as enable for DSA - allows flexible serial data routing or synchronization control. |
| 3 (Q0) | Parallel output 0 | LSB of 8-bit parallel word; updates one clock cycle after corresponding serial bit enters DSA/DSB. |
| 4 (Q1) | Parallel output 1 | Second bit; shifted from Q0 on next CP edge - forms contiguous 8-bit latch with deterministic timing skew. |
| 5 (Q2) | Parallel output 2 | Third bit; maintains fixed 1-clock delay relationship across all Q0–Q7 outputs for predictable waveform generation. |
| 6 (Q3) | Parallel output 3 | Fourth bit; used in cascaded configurations to feed Q3 to DSA of next stage for wider bus expansion. |
| 7 (GND) | Ground reference | 0 V return path for all internal logic and output drivers; must be low-impedance for stable noise immunity. |
| 8 (CP) | Clock input | Rising-edge triggered; LOW-to-HIGH transition advances all flip-flops simultaneously - no internal clock divider. |
| 9 (MR) | Master reset | Asynchronous active-LOW signal; forces Q0–Q7 LOW independent of CP or data inputs - critical for safe startup. |
| 10 (Q4) | Parallel output 4 | Fifth bit; provides mid-word access point for partial readback or segmented display control. |
| 11 (Q5) | Parallel output 5 | Sixth bit; matches timing profile of Q0–Q3 - enables uniform strobing across full 8-bit output bank. |
| 12 (Q6) | Parallel output 6 | Seventh bit; used with Q7 to drive high-side LED segments requiring coordinated current sinking. |
| 13 (Q7) | Parallel output 7 | MSB; final shifted bit - indicates completion of 8-bit load and enables end-of-frame detection in protocol engines. |
| 14 (VCC) | Positive supply | Primary power rail; supplies all internal logic and output drivers - requires local 100 nF decoupling near pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Gated dual serial inputs | DSA and DSB provide hardware-selectable data path control - eliminates need for external AND gates in multiplexed serial streams. |
| Asynchronous master reset | MR clears all outputs to LOW within 14 ns (typ) @ VCC = 4.5 V - ensures deterministic state on power-up or fault recovery. |
| Wide supply range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V operation - supports mixed-voltage systems and battery-powered designs down to 2.0 V cutoff. |
| High noise immunity | Input hysteresis and >1.3 V noise margin at 4.5 V - suppresses false triggering from EMI in motor drive or relay control circuits. |
| Clamp diode protection | Integrated input diodes allow use of current-limiting resistors for interfacing to signals exceeding VCC - simplifies level translation. |
Applications
| LED Matrix Driver | Microcontroller GPIO Expander |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT164PW,112 | Same pinout and function, but TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min) instead of CMOS thresholds. | Better suited for direct interface with legacy 5 V TTL logic; slightly higher ICC at VCC = 4.5 V (8 μA vs. 8.0 μA typ). | Select when driving from 74LS or older microcontrollers with marginal high-level output voltage. |
| SN74HC164PWR | TI variant in TSSOP14; identical electrical specs but different thermal derating (7.3 mW/K above 81 °C vs. Nexperia's 7.3 mW/K). | Same functional behavior; minor packaging variation - TI part uses JEDEC MO-153, Nexperia uses SOT402-1 (mechanically compatible). | Use for second-source assurance; verify board land pattern compatibility per IPC-7351B density level B. |
Compared with 74HCT164PW,112, the 74HC164PW,112 offers superior noise immunity in mixed-signal environments due to higher VIH/VIL ratios, while SN74HC164PWR provides identical functionality with alternate supply-chain availability - both require no firmware or layout changes for drop-in replacement.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74HC164PW,112?
The 74HC164PW,112 supports up to 85 MHz maximum clock frequency at VCC = 6.0 V and CL = 15 pF, with typical propagation delay of 12 ns (CP to Qn). At 4.5 V, fmax is 71 MHz (typ) and 51 MHz (max), verified per Table 7 in the official Nexperia datasheet Rev. 11.
Can DSA and DSB be used simultaneously for data input?
No - DSA and DSB are logically AND-gated; only one serves as active data input while the other acts as an enable. When DSB = HIGH, DSA data shifts in; when DSA = HIGH, DSB data shifts in. Simultaneous assertion causes undefined behavior per the function table in Section 6.
Is the TSSOP14 package (SOT402-1) lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes - the 74HC164PW,112 is manufactured in a lead-free, RoHS-compliant process per Nexperia's product compliance documentation, with homogeneous material declaration confirming <1000 ppm lead content and full adherence to EU Directive 2011/65/EU.
How does the master reset (MR) interact with the clock (CP) input?
MR is asynchronous and overrides all clock activity: a LOW on MR forces Q0–Q7 immediately LOW regardless of CP state or timing. The minimum MR pulse width is 10 ns (typ) at VCC = 6.0 V, and recovery time before next valid CP edge is 13 ns (max), as specified in Table 7.
