Product details
Overview
74LV164BQ,115 from Nexperia is an 8-bit serial-in/parallel-out CMOS shift register with dual gated serial inputs (DSA, DSB), asynchronous master reset (MR), and 8 parallel outputs (Q0–Q7). It operates from 1.0 V to 5.5 V, shifts on LOW-to-HIGH clock edge, and is rated for -40 °C to +125 °C. Used in LED matrix drivers, I/O expansion, and address latching in low-voltage microcontroller systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74LV164BQ,115 datasheet, 74LV164BQ,115 pinout, 74LV164BQ,115 application, or 74LV164BQ,115 equivalent, key selection factors include its dual-input gating logic, 1.0 V minimum supply compatibility, asynchronous MR assertion timing, and DHVQFN14 thermal-enhanced package suitability for space-constrained PCBs.
Technical Context
The device implements a synchronous 8-stage shift register with edge-triggered clock (CP) and active-low asynchronous reset (MR). Data enters serially via either DSA or DSB, with the other input acting as an enable-only one input may be HIGH while the other is LOW to allow data entry.
Its CMOS architecture ensures low static current (≤160 μA at VCC = 5.5 V), rail-to-rail output swing, and TTL-level compatibility at VCC ≥ 2.7 V. Input clamp diodes support overvoltage-tolerant interfacing when used with current-limiting resistors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.0 V to 5.5 V - enables direct interface with 1.2 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains without level translation. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded control applications. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 12 ns at VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 15 pF - supports >70 MHz clock rates in high-speed serial-to-parallel conversion paths. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±12 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - sufficient to directly drive LEDs or standard CMOS/TTL loads without external buffers. |
| Input Clamp Current | ±20 mA - allows safe interfacing to signals exceeding VCC when used with series current-limiting resistors. |
| Power Dissipation Capacitance | 40 pF at VCC = 3.3 V - enables accurate dynamic power estimation (PD = CPD × VCC² × fi × N) for thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
DHVQFN14 (SOT762-1) package: 2.5 mm × 3.0 mm × 0.85 mm body, no leads, exposed thermal pad (non-soldered by default), 14 terminals in quad arrangement with terminal 1 index area.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DSA) | Data input SA | Primary serial data input; enabled only when DSB = LOW - used for daisy-chained data flow control. |
| 2 (DSB) | Data input SB | Secondary serial data input; acts as enable for DSA when HIGH - supports dual-source serial injection. |
| 3 (Q0) | Parallel output 0 | LSB of shifted data; updates on rising CP edge after reset or shift cycle completion. |
| 4 (Q1) | Parallel output 1 | Second bit of parallel output bus; phase-aligned with Q0–Q7 for synchronous readout. |
| 5 (Q2) | Parallel output 2 | Third bit; maintains consistent timing skew ≤1 ns across all Q0–Q7 outputs per datasheet Fig. 4. |
| 6 (Q3) | Parallel output 3 | Fourth bit; shares same output structure and drive capability as Q0–Q2 and Q4–Q7. |
| 7 (GND) | Ground reference | 0 V return path for all internal logic and output stages; must be low-impedance for stable VOL/VOLP. |
| 8 (CP) | Clock input | Edge-triggered input; rising edge advances shift register - requires clean, monotonic transition per tW ≥ 5 ns. |
| 9 (MR) | Master reset | Asynchronous active-LOW input; forces all Q0–Q7 LOW immediately, independent of CP or data state. |
| 10 (Q4) | Parallel output 4 | Fifth bit; electrically identical to Q0–Q3 and Q5–Q7 in VOH/VOL, drive strength, and capacitive load handling. |
| 11 (Q5) | Parallel output 5 | Sixth bit; supports fan-out of ≥10 LVTTL loads at VCC = 3.3 V without degradation. |
| 12 (Q6) | Parallel output 6 | Seventh bit; maintains <0.8 V ground bounce (VOLP) at VCC = 3.3 V, Tamb = 25 °C per spec. |
| 13 (Q7) | Parallel output 7 | MSB of parallel output; updated last in shift sequence - critical for end-of-frame detection in display drivers. |
| 14 (VCC) | Supply voltage | Positive supply rail; decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required within 3 mm for stable switching performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide supply range | 1.0 V to 5.5 V operation - eliminates need for separate voltage rails in mixed-supply systems. |
| Gated serial inputs | DSA/DSB dual-input logic enables selective data routing without external AND gates or control logic. |
| Asynchronous master reset | MR asserts independently of clock - guarantees deterministic initialization in safety-critical startup sequences. |
| Low-voltage optimized | Guaranteed function down to 1.0 V with full static/dynamic specs - supports ultra-low-power battery-operated designs. |
| ESD robustness | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - reduces risk of field failure during handling and board assembly. |
Applications
| LED Matrix Driver | I/O Port 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LV164APWR | TSSOP14 package (SOT402-1); identical electrical specs but 4.4 mm body width and higher thermal resistance (7.3 mW/K derating above 81 °C). | Better suited for hand-soldering or legacy TSSOP footprints; less optimal for high-density thermal management. | Select when board layout uses TSSOP14 land pattern or manual assembly is required. |
| 74HC164PW,118 | Higher VCC min = 2.0 V; slower tpd = 29 ns at VCC = 4.5 V; no 1.0 V operation or input clamp diodes. | Not suitable for sub-2.0 V systems; lacks overvoltage tolerance - requires strict VI compliance. | Choose only if existing 74HC design reuse is mandatory and supply stays ≥2.0 V with controlled input voltages. |
Compared with SN74LV164APWR, the 74LV164BQ,115 offers superior thermal performance in compact layouts due to DHVQFN14's lower junction-to-board resistance, while versus 74HC164PW,118 it enables true single-supply 1.0 V–5.5 V interoperability and robust input interfacing.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage at which 74LV164BQ,115 guarantees full functionality?
The 74LV164BQ,115 is fully specified and guaranteed to operate down to 1.0 V, including all static and dynamic parameters such as VIH/VIL thresholds, propagation delay, and output drive strength - unlike standard HC or HCT families that require ≥2.0 V.
Can DSA and DSB both be driven HIGH simultaneously?
No - driving both DSA and DSB HIGH violates the functional table condition for valid shift operation. The device enters a "no-shift" state where Q0–Q7 retain prior values regardless of CP edges; this is not a fault condition but a defined hold mode per Table 3.
Is the exposed thermal pad on the DHVQFN14 package required to be soldered?
No - per datasheet note, the thermal pad has no electrical or mechanical requirement to be soldered. If soldered, it must remain floating or be connected to VCC; grounding it may cause undefined behavior or increased leakage.
How does the 74LV164BQ,115 handle input signals exceeding VCC?
Internal clamp diodes on all inputs permit safe interfacing to voltages up to VCC + 0.5 V when used with external current-limiting resistors, limiting input current to ±20 mA per IEC 60134 absolute maximum ratings - enabling direct connection to higher-voltage buses.
