The Nexperia 74HC4094D,653 is an 8-bit SIPO shift register in a 16-SOIC package. While no direct drop-in replacements are confirmed, several functional alternatives like the 74HC595 and 74HC594 series exist but require design modifications.

AI replacement insight

Package risklow

Alternatives are available in the same 16-SOIC package.

Electrical riskhigh

Pinout and control logic are different, requiring full re-validation.

Firmware riskmedium

Changes to control signal timing and sequence may be needed.

Can it be replaced directly?

No direct, pin-compatible replacement is available. All viable alternatives require design changes.

Best replacement path

Evaluate 74HC595D as a functional alternative, which requires a board respin and firmware changes.

Main risk

The primary risk is the lack of a pin-compatible option, forcing a PCB redesign and firmware adjustments for different control logic.
