Product details
Overview
74AHC595T16-13 from Diodes Incorporated is an 8-bit serial-in, parallel-out shift register with storage register and 3-state outputs, implemented in advanced high-speed CMOS. It features independent shift and storage clocks (SHCP/STCP), asynchronous master reset (MR), output enable (OE), and Schmitt-trigger inputs. Operates from 2.0 V to 5.5 V and supports microcontroller-driven LED matrix control and GPIO expansion.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHC595T16-13 datasheet, 74AHC595T16-13 pinout, 74AHC595T16-13 application, or 74AHC595T16-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include propagation delay (≤10.5 ns at 5 V), 8 mA output drive capability, TSSOP-16 package footprint, and dual-register architecture enabling glitch-free output updates.
Technical Context
The device integrates two synchronized but independently clocked registers: an 8-bit shift register accepting serial data on DS at each SHCP rising edge, and an 8-bit storage register loaded on STCP rising edge. MR asynchronously clears only the shift register, leaving storage register contents intact until next STCP pulse.
All inputs feature Schmitt-trigger action for noise immunity; outputs are 3-state controlled by OE and capable of sinking or sourcing 8 mA at VCC = 4.5 V. The Q7S serial output enables daisy-chaining multiple devices without external logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 5.5 V - supports direct interfacing with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers without level shifters. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 130 MHz at 4.5–5.5 V - enables high-throughput serial loading for real-time display refresh or sensor data streaming. |
| Propagation Delay | 4.0 ns (typ) SHCP→Q7S at 5 V - ensures tight timing margins in synchronous multi-device chains. |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA at VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to directly drive LEDs or TTL-compatible inputs without external buffers. |
| Input Hysteresis | Schmitt-trigger inputs - rejects up to 0.5 V of noise on serial or clock lines in electrically noisy industrial environments. |
| ESD Protection | 2 kV HBM, 1 kV CDM - exceeds JEDEC JESD22 requirements for robust handling during PCB assembly and field operation. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules and industrial motor controllers. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-16 package: 4.4 mm × 5.0 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, 1.08 mm max height, lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 15 | Q0–Q7 Parallel Outputs | Active-high 3-state outputs; enabled only when OE is low - allows dynamic bus sharing across multiple peripherals. |
| 8 | GND | Ground reference for all internal logic and output drivers - must be low-inductance connection to minimize switching noise. |
| 9 | Q7S Serial Output | MSB of shift register - connects directly to DS of next device for cascaded 16-/24-bit expansion. |
| 10 | MR Master Reset | Asynchronous active-low reset - clears shift register only; storage register retains last latched data until STCP. |
| 11 | SHCP Shift Clock | Rising-edge triggered - advances serial data through shift register; independent of STCP for staggered update control. |
| 12 | STCP Storage Clock | Rising-edge triggered - transfers current shift register contents to output register - eliminates output glitches during load. |
| 13 | OE Output Enable | Active-low 3-state control - disables all Q0–Q7 outputs simultaneously, enabling shared-bus applications. |
| 14 | DS Serial Data Input | CMOS input with Schmitt trigger - accepts slow or noisy microcontroller GPIO signals without external conditioning. |
| 16 | VCC | Positive supply - powers both logic core and output drivers; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm of pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-register architecture | Separate shift and storage registers prevent output corruption during serial loading - essential for flicker-free LED displays. |
| Independent clock domains | SHCP and STCP can be driven from separate MCU pins or timers - enables precise timing isolation between data capture and output update. |
| Asynchronous master reset | MR clears only the shift register while preserving stored output state - allows safe reinitialization without visual artifacts. |
| 3-state output control | Single OE pin disables all eight outputs to high-impedance - simplifies multiplexing across shared address/data buses. |
| Wide voltage operation | 2.0–5.5 V supply range - eliminates need for level translators when interfacing mixed-voltage systems (e.g., 3.3 V MCU to 5 V peripherals). |
Applications
| LED Matrix Display Driver | Microcontroller GPIO Expander |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving 8×8 monochrome LED grid using SPI interface from ARM Cortex-M0+ MCU.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit serial-in/parallel-out shift register applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HC595PWR | Same logic function but TI's HC family; 2–6 V supply, slower max frequency (25 MHz @ 6 V), no Schmitt inputs. | Lacks noise immunity on long traces; unsuitable for automotive or industrial noise environments. | Prefer 74AHC595T16-13 where ESD robustness, speed, or Schmitt-trigger inputs are required. |
| 74LV595PW,118 | NXP's LV variant; 1–5.5 V supply, 8 mA drive, but only rated to +85 °C ambient and lacks MR pin. | Not qualified for under-hood automotive use; missing MR limits safe recovery after power brownouts. | Select 74AHC595T16-13 for extended temperature range and hardware reset capability in mission-critical systems. |

FAQ
Can 74AHC595T16-13 operate reliably at 3.3 V with a 25 MHz SPI clock?
Yes. At VCC = 3.3 V, the device guarantees fMAX ≥ 60 MHz (−40 °C to +85 °C), well above 25 MHz. Propagation delays remain ≤15 ns, and input thresholds (VIH = 2.1 V, VIL = 0.9 V) ensure clean recognition of standard 3.3 V logic levels from SPI peripherals.
What happens to Q0–Q7 outputs when OE is high and MR is pulsed low?
When OE is high, all Q0–Q7 outputs enter high-impedance state regardless of MR activity. Pulsing MR low clears only the internal shift register; the storage register and its outputs remain unchanged until the next STCP rising edge - no output disturbance occurs.
Is the Q7S output compatible with the DS input of another 74AHC595T16-13 in cascade mode?
Yes. Q7S is a buffered CMOS output with full rail-to-rail swing and Schmitt-trigger input compatibility. Its VOH/VOL specs match DS input thresholds across 2.0–5.5 V supply, supporting reliable daisy-chaining of ≥10 devices without signal degradation or timing skew accumulation.
Does the TSSOP-16 package require special PCB layout considerations compared to SOIC-16?
Yes. TSSOP-16 has 0.65 mm pitch and thinner leads. Recommended pad dimensions are 0.35 mm width × 4.9 mm length with 0.65 mm center-to-center spacing. Thermal relief and solder mask defined pads are advised; reflow profile must follow IPC-J-STD-020 for moisture sensitivity level 1.
