Product details
Overview
74HCT166D-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-grade 8-bit parallel-in/serial-out shift register with TTL-compatible inputs, asynchronous master reset (MR), clock enable (CE), and parallel load capability via active-low PE. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, supports -40 °C to +125 °C ambient range, and delivers 25 MHz max clock frequency at VCC = 4.5 V. Used in automotive body control modules for LED driver expansion and sensor data serialization.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT166D-Q100 datasheet, 74HCT166D-Q100 pinout, 74HCT166D-Q100 application, or 74HCT166D-Q100 equivalent, this page provides verified functional behavior, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification status, SO16 package mechanical data, timing parameters under automotive temperature extremes, and validated drop-in alternatives for serial data path design.
Technical Context
This device implements synchronous 8-stage shift register logic with dual input modes: parallel load (when PE = LOW) on CP rising edge, or serial shift (when PE = HIGH) with DS as serial input. MR asynchronously clears all stages to LOW, independent of CP or CE state.
CE enables or disables clock propagation - when CE = LOW, CP transitions shift data; when CE = HIGH, CP is blocked regardless of other inputs. Input clamp diodes allow safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC, supporting robust signal conditioning in noisy automotive environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | 8-bit parallel-in/serial-out shift register with asynchronous reset and clock enable |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with 5 V automotive microcontroller I/O domains |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for under-hood and powertrain applications |
| Max Clock Frequency | 25 MHz at VCC = 4.5 V - supports high-speed serial data chaining in lighting or actuator control |
| Propagation Delay (CP to Q7) | 23 ns (typ) to 60 ns (max) at VCC = 4.5 V - defines worst-case latency for time-critical feedback loops |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-level inputs - interfaces directly with legacy 5 V MCU GPIO without level translation |
| Output Drive | ±4.0 mA VOH/VOL at VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to drive multiple CMOS inputs or small LED segments |
Pinout & Package
Package: SO16 plastic small outline package (SOT109-1), 16-pin, 3.9 mm body width, gull-wing leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DS) | Serial data input | Accepts serial bit stream during shift mode; sampled on CP rising edge when PE = HIGH |
| 2–5, 10–12, 14 (D0–D7) | Parallel data inputs | Load 8-bit word into register on next CP rising edge when PE = LOW |
| 6 (CE) | Clock enable (active LOW) | Blocks CP propagation when HIGH - enables precise gating of shift operations |
| 7 (CP) | Clock input (rising-edge triggered) | Drives all internal flip-flops synchronously; edge-sensitive, not level-sensitive |
| 8 (GND) | Ground reference | 0 V return path for all internal logic and I/O; must be low-impedance in automotive PCB layout |
| 9 (MR) | Master reset (active LOW) | Asynchronously clears all 8 stages to logic LOW - no clock required, critical for fail-safe initialization |
| 13 (Q7) | Serial output | LSB-serial output of final stage; used for daisy-chaining or microcontroller input capture |
| 15 (PE) | Parallel enable (active LOW) | Selects parallel load mode (PE = LOW) vs. serial shift mode (PE = HIGH) |
| 16 (VCC) | Positive supply | Primary power rail; decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm per AEC-Q100 layout guidelines |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit parallel-in/serial-out shift register applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HC166D-Q100 | CMOS-level inputs (VIH ≥ 3.15 V @ VCC = 4.5 V); wider 2.0–6.0 V supply range | Better suited for mixed-voltage systems with 3.3 V controllers; less tolerant of slow-rising 5 V signals | Select when interfacing with 3.3 V MCUs or requiring extended VCC flexibility beyond 5 V nominal |
| SN74LV165AQPWRQ1 | 3.3 V only (2.0–5.5 V), 8-bit parallel-load shift register with complementary Q7̅ output | Includes inverted output and higher noise immunity; lacks MR pin - reset handled externally | Prefer for new 3.3 V designs needing Q7̅ for differential signaling or where external reset is acceptable |
Compared with 74HC166D-Q100, the 74HCT166D-Q100 offers tighter TTL-compatible input thresholds for legacy 5 V systems, while SN74LV165AQPWRQ1 provides enhanced noise margin and complementary output at the cost of losing integrated master reset - making it suitable only where system-level reset coordination is feasible.

FAQ
What is the function of the MR (master reset) pin?
The MR pin is an asynchronous active-LOW input that forces all eight internal register stages to logic LOW immediately, regardless of clock or enable states. It requires no clock edge and overrides all other inputs, enabling deterministic fail-safe initialization in automotive safety systems. Pull-up resistor (typically 10 kΩ to VCC) is recommended for default HIGH operation.
Can 74HCT166D-Q100 operate at 3.3 V supply?
No - the 74HCT166D-Q100 is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation per its Recommended Operating Conditions table. At 3.3 V, input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V) become marginal and output drive degrades significantly; use 74HC166D-Q100 or 74LV165AQPWRQ1 instead for true 3.3 V compatibility.
How does CE (clock enable) interact with PE (parallel enable)?
CE and PE operate independently: CE gates the clock signal (blocking CP when HIGH), while PE selects data source (parallel load when LOW, serial shift when HIGH). When CE = HIGH, no shifting or loading occurs - even if PE toggles or CP rises. Both must be active (CE = LOW, PE = LOW/HIGH as needed) for functional operation.
Is daisy-chaining supported, and how is it implemented?
Yes - daisy-chaining is supported by connecting Q7 of one device to DS of the next. Each CP rising edge shifts data one position forward across the chain. To load parallel data into multiple devices simultaneously, tie all PE and CP pins together and assert PE = LOW before the first CP edge. All devices load their D0–D7 inputs concurrently.
