Temperature grade and environment
Rated for -40°C to 85°C, the SN74LV164ADR suits industrial enclosures, outdoor telecom cabinets, and factory-floor I/O modules. The 14-SOIC package is a standard footprint that reflow-solders without special profile adjustments — no hidden assembly cost compared to a smaller QFN or BGA.
Lifecycle and sourcing reality
