SN74LS164DR

Texas Instruments · Shifting Register · SOIC-14

SN74LS164DR from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-14. 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 data input A. ANDed internally with serial input B to drive the first flip-flop's D input; either input held low inhibits new-data entry and forces the first stage low at the next clock edge. Diode-clamped LSTTL input, VIH >= 2 V, VIL <= 0.8 V.
2 B input Gated serial data input B. ANDed internally with serial input A; a high level here enables input A to determine the next state of the first flip-flop. Diode-clamped LSTTL input.
3 QA output Parallel output of shift-register stage A (first stage). Totem-pole LSTTL output, VOH >= 2.7 V @ IOH = -0.4 mA, VOL <= 0.5 V @ IOL = 8 mA.
4 QB output Parallel output of shift-register stage B. Totem-pole LSTTL output.
5 QC output Parallel output of shift-register stage C. Totem-pole LSTTL output.
6 QD output Parallel output of shift-register stage D. Totem-pole LSTTL output.
7 GND power_in Ground / 0 V reference for the device.
8 CLK input Clock input. Data at the serial inputs is shifted one stage on the low-to-high transition; clock frequency 0-25 MHz (36 MHz typical). Minimum pulse width tw = 20 ns; setup 15 ns, hold 5 ns.
9 CLR input Active-low asynchronous clear. Driving CLR low forces all Q outputs low independent of CLK; must be held high (with tsu(clear inactive) >= 20 ns before next clock edge) for normal shift operation.
10 QE output Parallel output of shift-register stage E. Totem-pole LSTTL output.
11 QF output Parallel output of shift-register stage F. Totem-pole LSTTL output.
12 QG output Parallel output of shift-register stage G. Totem-pole LSTTL output.
13 QH output Parallel output of shift-register stage H (last stage). Also functions as the serial output when cascading devices. Totem-pole LSTTL output.
14 VCC power_in Positive supply, 4.75 V to 5.25 V (5 V nominal) for SN74LS164. Recommended bypass with 0.1 uF to GND close to the pin.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
sn74ls164dr.step 195 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
sn74ls164dr-etched.step 2.4 MB You want the part with SN74LS164DR already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 607 faces against 237 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: Texas Instruments datasheet (25 pp, sha256 a1ac7a9fe0ab2158, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: manufacturer)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
