Product details
Overview
74HCT164D14 from Diodes Incorporated is an 8-bit serial-in/parallel-out edge-triggered shift register with asynchronous master reset, TTL-compatible inputs, Schmitt-trigger input action, and dual serial data inputs (DSA/DSB) logically ANDed for flexible enable/data control. It operates from 4.5V to 5.5V, delivers 4mA output drive at VCC = 4.5V, and supports up to 55MHz clock frequency at 4.5V - used in PC peripheral interface logic and optical drive control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT164D14 datasheet, 74HCT164D14 pinout, 74HCT164D14 application, or 74HCT164D14 equivalent, key selection criteria include asynchronous reset behavior, dual-input serial gating, propagation delay (≤36ns at 4.5V), output drive capability (4mA sink/source), and PDIP-14 package compatibility with legacy through-hole PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 74HCT164D14 implements a synchronous 8-stage D-type flip-flop chain with positive-edge clock (CP) triggering and asynchronous active-low master reset (MR). Serial data enters Q0 only on rising CP edges when DSA and DSB are both HIGH, and internal stage-to-stage transfer occurs simultaneously across all eight outputs.
All inputs feature Schmitt-trigger action for noise immunity, and the device maintains TTL-compatible voltage thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8V, VIH ≥ 2.0V) while operating on CMOS-level supply current (ICC ≤ 160μA over temperature). Output stages are fully buffered with symmetrical rise/fall times (tT ≤ 22ns).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | HCT - TTL-compatible CMOS with 4.5–5.5V operation and low static power |
| Function | 8-bit serial-in/parallel-out shift register with asynchronous MR and dual ANDed serial inputs |
| Max Clock Frequency | 55 MHz at VCC = 4.5V - enables high-speed data serialization in legacy bus interfaces |
| Output Drive | ±4 mA at VCC = 4.5V - sufficient to directly drive LED segments or TTL inputs without buffering |
| Propagation Delay | 36 ns max (CP to Qn, VCC = 4.5V) - ensures timing margin in 20+ ns clock domains |
| Input Hysteresis | Schmitt-trigger inputs (typ. 0.8V hysteresis) - rejects <100mV noise on slow-rising control lines |
| ESD Protection | 2 kV HBM, 200 V MM, >1 kV CDM - meets industrial handling requirements without external protection |
Pinout & Package
74HCT164D14 uses a 14-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP-14) with 0.3-inch body width and standard through-hole mounting footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DSA) | Serial Data Input A | One of two ANDed inputs; tied HIGH to disable, used with DSB for gated serial entry |
| 2 (DSB) | Serial Data Input B | Second ANDed input; enables hardware-selectable data path or enable-controlled loading |
| 3 (Q0) | Stage 0 Output | First-stage parallel output; receives serial data on CP rising edge |
| 4 (Q1) | Stage 1 Output | Shifted copy of Q0; provides 1-bit pipeline delay for timing alignment |
| 5 (Q2) | Stage 2 Output | Third parallel output; used in 3-bit address latching or LED scan sequencing |
| 6 (Q3) | Stage 3 Output | Fourth output; commonly connected to microcontroller GPIO for status expansion |
| 7 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all I/O and internal logic; must be low-impedance for noise control |
| 8 (CP) | Clock Pulse Input | Positive-edge-triggered control signal; determines exact data shift timing |
| 9 (MR) | Master Reset | Asynchronous active-low reset; forces all Q0–Q7 LOW independent of CP or data state |
| 10 (Q4) | Stage 4 Output | Fifth parallel output; supports 5-bit parallel data capture in legacy ISA-style interfaces |
| 11 (Q5) | Stage 5 Output | Sixth output; used in 6-bit DAC control or segmented display drivers |
| 12 (Q6) | Stage 6 Output | Seventh output; provides intermediate latch point before final stage |
| 13 (Q7) | Stage 7 Output | Last-stage parallel output; indicates full 8-bit shift completion; often used as carry flag |
| 14 (VCC) | Supply Voltage | +4.5V to +5.5V DC; powers all logic and output buffers; bypass capacitor required at pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Applications
| PC Peripheral Interface | Optical Drive Control |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Expanding GPIO count on legacy ISA-bus embedded controllers to manage CD-ROM tray motor enable, laser power, and spindle speed signals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Serial-to-parallel converter that translates microcontroller SPI-like bitstream into 8-bit parallel control bus synchronized to system clock. Use Value: Reduces MCU pin count by 7 while maintaining deterministic 8-bit update timing via single CP edge - critical for motor commutation sequencing. |
Use Scenario: Driving segment-select lines in DVD-ROM front-panel LED displays using microcontroller UART TX line as serial data source. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shift register acting as UART-to-parallel bridge; DSA tied HIGH, DSB driven by UART, CP derived from system timer. Use Value: Enables reuse of existing UART hardware for display control without adding dedicated display controller IC or firmware overhead. |
| Legacy Industrial PLC I/O | Hard Disk Drive LED Indicators |
|
Use Scenario: Isolating and expanding digital output channels in DIN-rail mounted PLC modules controlling solenoid valves and relay banks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Parallel-output shift register providing galvanically isolated 8-bit output latch, reset by system watchdog pulse. Use Value: MR pin allows centralized fail-safe reset across multiple 74HCT164D14 units - ensuring all outputs go LOW during watchdog timeout or brownout. |
Use Scenario: Controlling activity LEDs (read/write/access) on 3.5" HDD backplanes where space constraints prohibit SMT packages. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-shifting and fanout buffer converting low-current SATA LED control signals into 4mA-capable drive for through-hole LEDs. Use Value: PDIP-14 footprint matches legacy HDD PCB tooling; ±4mA drive eliminates need for discrete transistor buffers per LED. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT164N | Same logic function and pinout; TI version uses different process - slightly higher ICC (max 200μA vs. 160μA) and lower fMAX (50MHz @4.5V) | Valid for drop-in replacement where board layout matches PDIP-14, but marginal in 55MHz designs | Select if sourcing from TI-authorized channels; verify timing margins in high-frequency use cases |
| 74HC164N | Pin-compatible but non-TTL-compatible - VIH = 3.15V min (vs. 2.0V), no Schmitt inputs, higher speed (fMAX = 88MHz @6V) | Requires level-shifting when interfacing with 74LS/74F; unsuitable for noisy industrial environments without external filtering | Choose only when driving pure CMOS loads and system VCC is stable at 4.5–6.0V |
Compared with SN74HCT164N and 74HC164N, the 74HCT164D14 uniquely combines TTL-compatible thresholds, Schmitt-trigger noise immunity, and guaranteed 55MHz operation in PDIP-14 - making it optimal for retrofitting legacy industrial and PC peripheral designs where signal integrity and pin compatibility are non-negotiable.

FAQ
Can 74HCT164D14 operate at 3.3V?
No. The 74HCT164D14 is specified only for 4.5V to 5.5V operation per its Recommended Operating Conditions. At 3.3V, input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0V) become unreliable, and output drive falls below specification. Use 74LV164 or 74LVC164 for 3.3V systems.
What happens if DSA and DSB are left floating?
Leaving DSA or DSB floating violates the Recommended Operating Conditions, which require unused inputs to be tied to VCC or GND. Floating inputs may cause erratic shifting due to noise coupling or partial turn-on of internal gates, leading to metastability or unintended data corruption.
Is the MR pin truly asynchronous?
Yes. The MR pin operates asynchronously: asserting MR LOW immediately forces Q0–Q7 to LOW regardless of CP state, DSA/DSB levels, or internal shift register contents. Recovery requires MR to be held HIGH for trec ≥ 24ns before the next CP rising edge.
Does 74HCT164D14 support hot insertion?
No. The device lacks hot-swap protection features such as power-up sequencing control, IOFF isolation, or bus-hold circuitry. Inserting or removing it while powered risks latch-up, ESD damage, or transient glitches on shared VCC/GND nets.
