SN74HC164DR

Texas Instruments · Shifting Register · SOIC-14-150mil

SN74HC164DR from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-14-150mil. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 A input Gated Serial Input 1. AND-gated with input B to feed the first flip-flop; a low on either A or B inhibits new data entry and resets the first flip-flop low on the next CLK rising edge.
2 B input Gated Serial Input 2. AND-gated with input A to feed the first flip-flop; a low on either input inhibits new data entry.
3 QA output Parallel output, bit A (first stage of the 8-bit shift register). CMOS output rated for ±4 mA drive at 5 V.
4 QB output Parallel output, bit B (second stage of the shift register). CMOS output rated for ±4 mA drive at 5 V.
5 QC output Parallel output, bit C (third stage of the shift register). CMOS output rated for ±4 mA drive at 5 V.
6 QD output Parallel output, bit D (fourth stage of the shift register). CMOS output rated for ±4 mA drive at 5 V.
7 GND power_in Ground reference (0 V). Must be connected to the system ground.
8 CLK input Clock input. Data at the serial inputs is transferred into the shift register on the low-to-high transition of CLK. Max clock frequency 31 MHz at VCC=4.5 V.
9 CLR input Asynchronous clear, active-low. Driving CLR low forces all eight parallel outputs QA-QH low independent of the CLK and serial inputs.
10 QE output Parallel output, bit E (fifth stage of the shift register). CMOS output rated for ±4 mA drive at 5 V.
11 QF output Parallel output, bit F (sixth stage of the shift register). CMOS output rated for ±4 mA drive at 5 V.
12 QG output Parallel output, bit G (seventh stage of the shift register). CMOS output rated for ±4 mA drive at 5 V.
13 QH output Parallel output, bit H (eighth/last stage of the shift register). CMOS output rated for ±4 mA drive at 5 V; commonly used for daisy-chaining to the serial input of a downstream '164.
14 VCC power_in Positive supply, 2 V to 6 V (5 V nominal). Recommended 0.1 µF bypass capacitor to GND.
