Product details
Overview
74HCT164BQ-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-grade 8-bit serial-in/parallel-out shift register with TTL-compatible inputs, dual gated serial data inputs (DSA/DSB), asynchronous master reset (MR), and edge-triggered clock (CP) operating from 4.5 V to 5.5 V. It delivers 8 parallel outputs (Q0–Q7), supports −40 °C to +125 °C operation, and is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for engine control and body electronics.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT164BQ-Q100 datasheet, 74HCT164BQ-Q100 pinout, 74HCT164BQ-Q100 application, or 74HCT164BQ-Q100 equivalent, this device is selected for serial-to-parallel expansion in space-constrained automotive modules where low-power CMOS logic, noise immunity, and guaranteed reset behavior are required.
Technical Context
The device implements an 8-stage D-type flip-flop chain with synchronous serial loading and asynchronous clear. Data shifts on LOW-to-HIGH clock transitions, and either DSA or DSB can serve as an active-HIGH enable for the other-enabling flexible serial data routing without external gating logic. The MR input forces all Q outputs LOW independently of CP or data inputs.
Input clamp diodes allow safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors. The DHVQFN14 package (SOT762-1) features side-wettable flanks for AOI-compatible solder joint inspection-critical for automotive production traceability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | 8-bit serial-in/parallel-out shift register with gated dual data inputs and asynchronous reset |
| Supply voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - matches standard automotive 5 V rail with margin for ripple and drop |
| Operating temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood and powertrain applications per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 |
| Propagation delay (CP to Q) | 17 ns (typ) at VCC = 4.5 V - enables reliable timing up to 27 MHz max clock frequency |
| Input compatibility | TTL-level inputs - interfaces directly with legacy microcontroller GPIOs and 5 V logic families |
| Output drive | ±4.0 mA (VOH/VOL) at VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to drive LED segments or small-signal logic loads |
| Power dissipation | CPD = 40 pF - enables accurate dynamic power estimation for thermal design in dense PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
DHVQFN14 package (SOT762-1), 2.5 × 3 × 0.85 mm body, no leads, 14 terminals, side-wettable flanks for AOI. Exposed thermal pad (terminal 1 index area) may be left floating or connected to GND per layout requirements.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DSA) | Serial data input A | Primary serial input; active HIGH enable for DSB when DSA is asserted |
| 2 (DSB) | Serial data input B | Secondary serial input; enabled only when DSA is HIGH - allows data selection via control signal |
| 3 (Q0) | Parallel output 0 | LSB of 8-bit parallel word; shifts first after initial clock edge |
| 4 (Q1) | Parallel output 1 | Second bit in shift chain; synchronized to same clock edge as Q0 |
| 5 (Q2) | Parallel output 2 | Third stage output; maintains deterministic bit ordering across temperature |
| 6 (Q3) | Parallel output 3 | Mid-chain output; stable propagation delay ensures predictable timing skew ≤ 3 ns |
| 7 (GND) | Ground reference | 0 V return path for all internal logic and I/O; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 8 (CP) | Clock input | Edge-triggered; data latched on LOW-to-HIGH transition - immune to glitches on falling edge |
| 9 (MR) | Master reset | Asynchronous active-LOW; clears all Q outputs immediately regardless of CP or data state |
| 10 (Q4) | Parallel output 4 | Fifth bit; output valid within 19 ns (max) after MR deassertion at VCC = 4.5 V |
| 11 (Q5) | Parallel output 5 | Sixth bit; meets setup/hold times (tsu = 12 ns, th = +4 ns) for 5 V MCU interface |
| 12 (Q6) | Parallel output 6 | Seventh bit; VOL ≤ 0.26 V at 4 mA load ensures solid LOW recognition by downstream CMOS inputs |
| 13 (Q7) | Parallel output 7 | MSB; VOH ≥ 3.98 V at 4 mA load guarantees robust HIGH level for 5 V logic thresholds |
| 14 (VCC) | Positive supply | Primary power rail; decoupling capacitor required within 3 mm for stable switching performance |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HC164BQ-Q100 | CMOS-level inputs (VIH = 3.15 V min at VCC = 4.5 V); wider VCC range (2.0–6.0 V) | Better suited for mixed-voltage systems (e.g., 3.3 V MCU driving 5 V peripherals) due to higher noise margin | Select when interfacing with 3.3 V logic or requiring extended supply flexibility beyond 5 V |
| SN74LV164APWR | Lower VCC range (2.0–5.5 V); LV family - optimized for 3.3 V operation with 1.7 V VIH threshold | Higher speed at 3.3 V (tpd = 9.5 ns typ), but not AEC-Q100 qualified | Choose for non-automotive industrial designs needing faster 3.3 V performance without automotive qualification overhead |
Compared with 74HC164BQ-Q100 and SN74LV164APWR, the 74HCT164BQ-Q100 uniquely balances TTL input compatibility, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, and 5 V system integration - making it the only option qualified for direct replacement in production automotive ECUs.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74HCT164BQ-Q100?
The device supports a maximum clock frequency of 27 MHz at VCC = 4.5 V and 22 MHz at VCC = 5.0 V under recommended operating conditions with CL = 15 pF. This is derived from the specified tpd (propagation delay) of 17 ns (typ) and tW (pulse width) of 18 ns (min), ensuring reliable setup/hold timing margins for automotive MCU interfaces.
Can DSA and DSB be used simultaneously for data input?
No - DSA and DSB operate as a gated pair: DSB is enabled only when DSA is HIGH, and DSA is enabled only when DSB is HIGH. The function table confirms that valid shifting occurs only when one input is HIGH and the other carries data (l or h). Simultaneous LOW or HIGH on both disables data entry.
Is the exposed thermal pad on the DHVQFN14 package electrically connected?
No - the exposed pad (terminal 1 index area) has no electrical connection to internal circuitry. Per Nexperia's datasheet, it may be left floating or connected to GND depending on thermal and EMI requirements, but must not be tied to any voltage other than GND if soldered.
How does the master reset (MR) interact with the clock (CP) input?
MR is fully asynchronous: asserting MR LOW immediately forces Q0–Q7 LOW regardless of CP state, clock edges, or data inputs. The recovery time (trec) from MR deassertion to first valid output is 16 ns (max) at VCC = 4.5 V, and CP must remain stable for at least tW (18 ns) after MR release before next shift cycle begins.
