CD74HC164E

Shift Registers Overview

The CD74HC164E is an 8-bit serial-in, parallel-out shift register manufactured by Texas Instruments. It belongs to the 74HC logic family and operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 2V to 6V. The device features push-pull outputs and is housed in a 14-pin PDIP package designed for through-hole mounting. It supports a wide operating temperature range from -55°C to +125°C.

Shift Registers Feature Summary

• Converts serial data input into eight parallel output bits
• Utilizes high-speed CMOS technology for efficient operation
• Provides push-pull output stages for robust signal driving

Shift Registers Applications

• General-purpose serial-to-parallel data conversion
• Driving LED displays or indicator arrays
• Expanding I/O capabilities in microcontroller systems

Shift Registers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity as this part number may be discontinued or subject to obsolescence notices. Confirm current availability status with authorized distributors before procurement. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documentation. Check for RoHS compliance status relevant to your manufacturing requirements. Validate that the received package matches the specified 14-PDIP form factor.

Shift Registers Selection Notes

Select this component when a reliable 8-bit serial-to-parallel interface is required within standard logic families. Consider the 2V to 6V supply range compatibility with existing system power rails. Evaluate the through-hole packaging requirement against PCB layout constraints. Compare propagation delay specifications if timing-critical applications are involved. Assess thermal performance needs given the extended industrial temperature range.

Shift Registers Part Context

This device is part of the widely adopted 74HC series of logic integrated circuits. It serves as a fundamental building block for digital systems requiring data serialization management. The 74HC164 variant specifically addresses applications needing simple serial input handling without complex control signals. It complements other logic components like buffers and inverters in standard design architectures.

Shift Registers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the SN74HC164N from Texas Instruments. Alternative options may involve checking for updated revisions or pin-compatible equivalents from other manufacturers. Verify electrical characteristics match exactly before substitution. Ensure package dimensions remain compatible with existing footprints.
