Philips Semiconductors Product specification
Dual 4-bit serial-in/parallel-out shift 
register
74HC/HCT4015
FEATURES
• Output capability: standard
• ICC category: MSI
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 74HC/HCT4015 are high-speed Si-gate CMOS 
devices and are pin compatible with the “4015” of the 
“4000B” series. They are specified in compliance with 
JEDEC standard no. 7A.
The 74HC/HCT4015 are dual edge-triggered 4-bit static 
shift registers (serial-to-parallel converters). Each shift 
register has a serial data input (1D and 2D), a clock input 
(1CP and 2CP), four fully buffered parallel outputs (1Q
0
 to 
1Q3 and 2Q0 to 2Q3) and an overriding asynchronous 
master reset (1MR and 2MR). Information present on nD 
is shifted to the first register position, and all data in the 
register is shifted one position to the right on the 
LOW-to-HIGH transition of nCP. 
A HIGH on nMR clears the register and forces nQ0 to nQ
3
to LOW, independent of nCP and nD.

Notes
1. C
PD
 is used to determine the dynamic power dissipation (PD in µW):
PD=CPD× V
CC

× fi+∑(CL× V
CC

× fo) where: 
fi= input frequency in MHz 
fo= output frequency in MHz 
∑ (CL× V
CC
2
× fo) = sum of outputs 
CL= output load capacitance in pF 
VCC= supply voltage in V
2. For HC the condition is VI= GND to V
CC
For HCT the condition is VI= GND to VCC− 1.5 V
