SN74HC164: Recommended Input Voltage

Part Number: SN74HC164
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SN54HC164

Tool/software:

Hi,

I've downloaded the latest datasheet for the devices (Product Folder Links: SN54HC164, SN74HC164), and I noticed that the recommended input voltage range is:

  • Minimum: 0V
  • Maximum: 3.3V

To be honest, it's quite difficult to meet this range strictly, as it leaves no margin for undershoot or overshoot.

From our measurements:

  • The maximum input voltage observed was 3.41V
  • The minimum input voltage observed was -0.07V

Could you please help confirm the exact input voltage specifications for this device? Specifically, is there truly no tolerance allowed beyond the stated range?

Thanks for your support.

Best regards,
Bryant
