Key Features
- Dual independent 4-stage SIPO shift registers with separate clock and clear per register for flexible control
- Wide supply range of 2 V to 6 V compatible with both 3.3 V and 5 V logic systems
- 20 MHz maximum clock frequency with 50 pF load, enabling fast serial-to-parallel data conversion in HC CMOS
Applications
The CD74HC4015E is used in microcontroller GPIO expansion, LED driver data latching, and serial-to-parallel conversion for display controllers that require 4-bit wide parallel outputs. The dual-register architecture allows two independent 4-bit data streams to be loaded from a single serial bus simultaneously. Its 2 V to 6 V supply range makes it interoperable with both legacy 5 V TTL systems and modern 3.3 V microcontrollers without level shifting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What clock frequency can the CD74HC4015E handle and how does load capacitance affect it?
The CD74HC4015E supports a maximum clock frequency of 20 MHz when driving a 50 pF load at 5 V supply. At higher capacitive loads or lower supply voltages such as 3.3 V, maximum frequency decreases. For PCB designs with longer trace runs, limiting clock frequency to 10 MHz provides sufficient margin to account for board parasitics and ensure reliable 4-stage shift register operation.
How does having individual clock and clear inputs per register in CD74HC4015E enable independent parallel output loading?
Each of the two 4-stage registers in the CD74HC4015E has its own dedicated clock and active-low clear pin, allowing one register to be reset or clocked independently while the other holds its parallel outputs stable. This is useful in display multiplexing circuits where one nibble must be refreshed while the other drives LEDs, eliminating the need for external gating logic and saving at least 2 additional ICs.
When should a designer choose CD74HC4015E over a 74HC595 8-bit serial shift register?
CD74HC4015E is preferred when two separate 4-bit parallel output groups with independent clocks are needed rather than one 8-bit group. Unlike 74HC595, it provides individual clear lines and does not require a separate storage register latch, reducing latency from serial input to parallel output by one clock cycle. For applications requiring 4-bit nibble-wide data paths with independent enable control, CD74HC4015E simplifies timing design.
Is the CD74HC4015E in a 16-pin PDIP package suitable for prototyping on breadboards?
Yes, the 16-pin PDIP package has 2.54 mm (100 mil) lead pitch, making it directly compatible with standard breadboards and through-hole prototype PCBs. The package is 19.05 mm long and 6.35 mm wide, fitting standard DIP socket strips. This makes CD74HC4015E one of the most accessible form factors for laboratory development compared to surface-mount SOIC or TSSOP alternatives.
