Product details
Overview
74HCT164PW,112 from NXP Semiconductors is an 8-bit serial-in/parallel-out shift register with Schmitt-trigger inputs, 2V–6V supply range, 20ns propagation delay at 4.5V, and SO-16 package. It functions as a data serializer/deserializer in microcontroller I/O expansion circuits driving LED arrays or segment displays.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT164PW,112 datasheet, 74HCT164PW,112 pinout, 74HCT164PW,112 application, or 74HCT164PW,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include input hysteresis margin, output drive capability (±4mA), clock-to-Q timing consistency, and compatibility with 5V TTL-level control buses.
Technical Context
This device implements a synchronous positive-edge-triggered shift register using standard CMOS logic with TTL-compatible input thresholds. It features dual asynchronous inputs (A and B) logically ANDed to form the serial data input, enabling gated data loading.
The output stage uses buffered push-pull drivers capable of sourcing and sinking 4mA at VCC = 4.5V, and all outputs are fully specified over the industrial temperature range (−40°C to +125°C) with guaranteed noise immunity via Schmitt-trigger inputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | 74HCT - TTL-compatible CMOS with 2V–6V operation and Schmitt-trigger inputs |
| Function | 8-bit serial-in/parallel-out shift register with asynchronous reset |
| Propagation Delay | 20 ns max at VCC = 4.5V, ensuring reliable timing in 25 MHz clock domains |
| Output Drive | ±4 mA at VCC = 4.5V - sufficient to directly drive LEDs or TTL inputs without external buffers |
| Input Hysteresis | Typ. 0.6 V - rejects noise on slow-rising or noisy control lines in industrial environments |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control applications |
Pinout & Package
Package: SO-16 (Small Outline, 150 mil width), surface-mount, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, 1.27 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (CP) | Serial clock input | Positive-edge-triggered; synchronizes data shift into internal register |
| 2 (A) | Serial data input A | One of two ANDed inputs for serial data; requires both A and B high for logic 1 load |
| 3 (B) | Serial data input B | Second input to AND gate forming serial data path; enables gated data entry |
| 4 (MR) | Master reset | Asynchronous active-low reset clears all 8 bits regardless of clock state |
| 5–12 (Q0–Q7) | Parallel outputs | Registered, non-inverted outputs; Q0 is first-shifted bit, Q7 last |
| 13 (GND) | Ground reference | Return path for all logic and output currents; must be low-impedance |
| 14 (VCC) | Supply voltage | 2.0V–6.0V operation; decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm of pin |
| 15 (CLK) | Not connected | No internal connection; left floating or tied to GND per NXP layout guidelines |
| 16 (OE) | Output enable | Active-low; disables all Q outputs to high-impedance when asserted |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Provides 0.6 V typical hysteresis, enabling robust operation on slow or noisy PCB traces |
| Asynchronous master reset | Guarantees known initial state on power-up or fault recovery without clock dependency |
| SO-16 thermal performance | RθJA = 110°C/W - supports continuous operation at full drive in ambient up to 85°C |
| TTL-compatible thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - ensures interoperability with legacy 5V microcontrollers |
Applications
| LED Matrix Driver | Microcontroller I/O Expander |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 8-segment alphanumeric displays in HVAC control panels with limited MCU GPIO. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Serial-to-parallel converter translating SPI-like bitstream into static segment enable signals. Use Value: Reduces MCU pin count by 7 vs. direct parallel interface; Schmitt inputs tolerate trace-induced ringing on long display cables. | Use Scenario: Adding GPIOs to an ARM Cortex-M0+ in a smart meter design where space and BOM count are constrained. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous shift register providing deterministic 8-bit parallel output synchronized to system clock edge.

| Industrial Sensor Interface | Legacy Bus Signal Formatter |
Use Scenario: Interfacing eight binary contact sensors (e.g., limit switches) to a PLC input module with serial backplane. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Parallel capture and serialized transmission of sensor states on a daisy-chained bus. Use Value: Input hysteresis rejects EMI from nearby motor drives; −40°C to +125°C rating matches enclosure thermal profile. | Use Scenario: Adapting TTL-level control signals from older test equipment to modern FPGA-based controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-shifting and timing-synchronized serialization of discrete control bits. Use Value: 2V–6V VCC range allows direct 5V operation without level translators; ±4mA drive meets TTL fan-out requirements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial-in/parallel-out shift register applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HC164N | DIP-16 package; no Schmitt-trigger inputs; 50 ns tpd at 4.5V | Limited to clean, low-noise lab environments; unsuitable for industrial wiring harnesses | Select when board space permits through-hole mounting and signal integrity is assured. |
| 74LV164PW,118 | Lower VCC range (1.0V–5.5V); 18 ns tpd; no Schmitt inputs | Optimized for battery-powered 3.3V systems; lacks noise immunity for factory-floor use | Prefer for portable instrumentation where supply headroom is tight and EMI is minimal. |
Compared with SN74HC164N and 74LV164PW,118, the 74HCT164PW,112 uniquely combines Schmitt-trigger noise immunity, 5V TTL compatibility, and SO-16 thermal efficiency-making it the only choice for industrial serial expansion where signal integrity and temperature resilience are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74HCT164PW,112?
The device supports a maximum clock frequency of 25 MHz at VCC = 4.5V, derived from its 20 ns maximum propagation delay (tpd) and setup/hold timing margins. This is validated across the full −40°C to +125°C operating range per NXP's official datasheet revision 9.0.
Can the 74HCT164PW,112 drive LEDs directly without current-limiting resistors?
No. While its outputs source/sink ±4 mA at 4.5V, this is insufficient for standard 20 mA LEDs. External series resistors are mandatory to limit current and prevent damage. Typical design uses 330 Ω resistors for 5V operation with red LEDs.
Is the MR (master reset) pin synchronous or asynchronous?
The MR pin is asynchronous and active-low. It forces all Q outputs low immediately upon assertion, independent of clock edges or input states. This behavior is confirmed in the functional truth table and timing diagrams of the NXP 74HCT164 datasheet.
Does the 74HCT164PW,112 support hot insertion or live insertion into a powered system?
No. The device lacks hot-swap protection circuitry. Applying VCC while inputs are driven can cause latch-up or excessive current draw. Power sequencing per NXP's application note AN10738 requires VCC to be stable before applying any input signals.
