Product details
Overview
74LV164DB,112 from Nexperia is an 8-bit serial-in/parallel-out CMOS shift register with dual gated serial inputs (DSA and DSB), asynchronous master reset (MR), and edge-triggered clock (CP) operating on LOW-to-HIGH transitions. It supports 1.0 V to 5.5 V supply voltage, delivers 8 parallel outputs (Q0–Q7), and functions reliably from −40 °C to +125 °C - used in LED matrix drivers, I/O expansion for microcontrollers, and serial-to-parallel data conversion in industrial control panels.
For engineers reviewing the 74LV164DB,112 datasheet, 74LV164DB,112 pinout, 74LV164DB,112 application, or 74LV164DB,112 equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-input gating logic, wide VCC range enabling mixed-voltage system interfacing, asynchronous reset behavior, and propagation delay of 12 ns at 3.3 V/15 pF - critical for timing-critical serial data staging and output latching.
Technical Context
The 74LV164DB,112 implements a synchronous 8-stage shift register with independent serial data enable logic: either DSA or DSB can act as an active-HIGH gate for the other input, allowing flexible serial data routing. Its CP input triggers on the LOW-to-HIGH transition, and MR forces all Q outputs LOW asynchronously - decoupling reset timing from clock edges.
Input clamp diodes permit safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors. The device complies with JEDEC standards JESD8-7 (1.65–1.95 V), JESD8-5 (2.3–2.7 V), JESD8C (2.7–3.6 V), and JESD36 (4.5–5.5 V), ensuring interoperability across legacy and low-voltage logic families.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage (VCC) | 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 shifters. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules, industrial PLCs, and high-ambient embedded systems. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 12 ns at VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 15 pF - supports >70 MHz clock rates for real-time serial data capture and parallel output update. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±6 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - sufficient to directly drive LEDs, small-signal MOSFET gates, or TTL-compatible inputs without external buffers. |
| Input Thresholds | VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V at VCC = 2.7–3.6 V - ensures robust noise margin and compatibility with 3.3 V LVTTL and LVCMOS interfaces. |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW max at Tamb ≤ 100 °C (SO14 package) - supports continuous operation in thermally constrained PCB layouts with minimal heatsinking. |
| ESD Protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - reduces risk of field failure during handling and board assembly in automated SMT lines. |
Pinout & Package
74LV164DB,112 is supplied in SO14 (SOT108-1) plastic small outline package: 14-lead, 3.9 mm body width, 1.27 mm lead pitch, gull-wing leads. Pin 1 index located at top-left corner with notch or bevel marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DSA) | Serial Data Input A | Primary serial input; gated by DSB - active only when DSB = HIGH; accepts TTL levels at VCC ≥ 2.7 V. |
| 2 (DSB) | Serial Data Input B | Secondary serial input; acts as enable for DSA - active only when DSA = HIGH; provides dual-input flexibility for daisy-chaining or multiplexed data streams. |
| 3 (Q0) | Parallel Output 0 | LSB output; shifts first from DSA/DSB; synchronized to CP rising edge; drives loads up to 6 mA. |
| 4 (Q1) | Parallel Output 1 | Second-stage output; one clock cycle delayed from Q0; identical electrical specs to Q0–Q7. |
| 5 (Q2) | Parallel Output 2 | Third-stage output; maintains consistent timing skew (<1 ns variation across Q0–Q7 at same VCC). |
| 6 (Q3) | Parallel Output 3 | Fourth-stage output; shares common internal register stage; no additional latency vs. Q0–Q2. |
| 7 (GND) | Ground Reference | 0 V return path for all internal circuitry and output drivers; must be low-impedance for stable VOL/VOLP performance. |
| 8 (CP) | Clock Input | Edge-triggered input; samples DSA/DSB on LOW-to-HIGH transition; requires minimum pulse width of 11 ns at VCC = 3.3 V. |
| 9 (MR) | Master Reset | Asynchronous active-LOW reset; forces Q0–Q7 LOW regardless of CP state; recovery time to next valid shift is 14 ns min at VCC = 3.3 V. |
| 10 (Q4) | Parallel Output 4 | Fifth-stage output; electrically identical to Q0–Q3; supports cascaded shift register configurations via Q7→DSA/DSB. |
| 11 (Q5) | Parallel Output 5 | Sixth-stage output; maintains rail-to-rail VOH/VOL across full temperature range (−40 °C to +125 °C). |
| 12 (Q6) | Parallel Output 6 | Seventh-stage output; used in 7-segment display decoding where MSB alignment matters for digit mapping. |
| 13 (Q7) | Parallel Output 7 | MSB output; feeds next-stage serial input in multi-device chains; exhibits same tpd as Q0 (12 ns @ 3.3 V). |
| 14 (VCC) | Supply Voltage | Positive supply rail; powers all internal logic and output drivers; bypass capacitor (100 nF) required within 5 mm of pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-gated serial inputs | DSA and DSB provide hardware-selectable data path control - eliminates need for external AND gates in multi-source serial bus architectures. |
| Wide VCC range (1.0–5.5 V) | Supports single-supply operation across 1.2 V FPGA I/O banks, 1.8 V microcontroller peripherals, and 5 V legacy backplanes without translation. |
| Asynchronous master reset | MR clears all flip-flops independently of CP timing - essential for deterministic power-up initialization and fault recovery in safety-critical sequencers. |
| Clamp diode-equipped inputs | Enables overvoltage-tolerant interfacing (e.g., 5 V signals into 3.3 V system) using simple series resistors - reduces BOM count vs. discrete protection solutions. |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP < 0.8 V) | Minimizes switching noise coupling into analog sections or adjacent digital rails - critical for mixed-signal PCBs with ADCs or precision references. |

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 | TI part in TSSOP-14 (SOT402-1); identical logic function but higher ICC (max 160 μA vs. 20 μA typical for Nexperia); slightly longer tpd (14 ns vs. 12 ns @ 3.3 V). | Same use cases, but less suitable for ultra-low-power battery-operated nodes due to higher quiescent current. | Select when TI-authorized supply chain is mandated or when TSSOP footprint is already standardized in layout. |
| 74HC164PW,118 | Nexperia HC variant in TSSOP-14; VCC limited to 2.0–6.0 V (no 1.0–1.95 V support); higher VOL (0.55 V vs. 0.40 V @ 6 mA); slower fmax (28 MHz vs. 70 MHz @ 3.3 V). | Not usable in 1.2 V or 1.8 V systems; marginal noise margin in 3.3 V designs with long traces or heavy capacitive loads. | Choose only if HC-speed compatibility with legacy 74HC designs is required and 1.0–1.95 V operation is unnecessary. |

FAQ
What is the minimum VCC required for guaranteed operation of the 74LV164DB,112?
The 74LV164DB,112 is fully specified and guaranteed to operate down to VCC = 1.0 V, with static characteristics validated from 1.2 V and functional operation confirmed at 1.0 V using GND/VCC input levels. This enables direct integration with 1.2 V FPGA I/O banks and ultra-low-power microcontrollers without level translation.
Can DSA and DSB both be driven simultaneously, and what happens to data flow?
No - DSA and DSB are logically ANDed internally; data shifts only when one input is HIGH and the other is driven with the serial data stream. If both are HIGH, the last valid bit latched before the simultaneous HIGH condition persists; if both are LOW, no shifting occurs. This gating prevents metastability and ensures deterministic data entry.
How does the master reset (MR) interact with ongoing clock activity?
MR is asynchronous and overrides all clock activity: asserting MR LOW immediately forces Q0–Q7 to LOW within 14 ns (min) at VCC = 3.3 V, regardless of CP state or timing. Clock edges occurring during MR assertion are ignored, and valid shifting resumes only after MR returns HIGH and meets trec (11 ns min) before the next CP rising edge.
Is the SO14 package (SOT108-1) of 74LV164DB,112 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes - the 74LV164DB,112 in SO14 (SOT108-1) packaging is manufactured per RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is lead-free, with matte tin (Sn) termination finish. The device meets Nexperia's "Green" material compliance standard, including absence of halogenated flame retardants and antimony trioxide.
