Product details
Overview
74AHCT594PW,112 from Nexperia is an 8-bit serial-in, parallel-out shift register with independent storage register, TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V), dual positive-edge clocks (SHCP and STCP), and active-low asynchronous resets (SHR, STR). It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V across –40 °C to +125 °C and enables cascaded serial-to-parallel data conversion in LED matrix drivers and industrial I/O expanders.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHCT594PW,112 datasheet, 74AHCT594PW,112 pinout, 74AHCT594PW,112 application, or 74AHCT594PW,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL-level input compatibility, separate shift/storage clock timing control, Q7S serial cascade output, and TSSOP16 thermal performance at 125 °C ambient.
Technical Context
The device integrates two synchronous stages: a 8-stage shift register accepting serial data (DS) on SHCP rising edges, and an 8-bit D-type storage register loaded on STCP rising edges. Independent SHR and STR inputs asynchronously clear each stage without affecting the other, enabling precise pipeline control in buffered data transfer systems.
Input thresholds are fixed for TTL logic (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V), ensuring interoperability with legacy 5 V microcontrollers and FPGAs. Propagation delays are tightly balanced: tPLH/tPHL ≤ 7.8 ns (CL = 50 pF, VCC = 5 V), supporting reliable operation up to 160 MHz clock frequency on both SHCP and STCP inputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | 74AHCT - TTL-compatible CMOS, enabling direct interface with 5 V LSTTL systems without level translation. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures stable operation across industrial 5 V rails with ±10 % tolerance. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified for under-hood automotive and high-temp industrial control applications. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 160 MHz (SHCP/STCP) - Supports high-speed serial loading and parallel latching in real-time display controllers. |
| Propagation Delay | ≤ 7.8 ns (tPLH/tPHL, CL = 50 pF, VCC = 5 V) - Enables sub-10 ns timing margins in synchronous pipelines. |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA (VOH/VOL @ VCC = 5 V) - Sufficient to directly drive LEDs or standard CMOS/TTL inputs without buffering. |
| Input Clamping | Overvoltage tolerant to 5.5 V - Allows safe interfacing with hot-swap or mixed-voltage signal sources. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP16 package (SOT403-1): plastic thin shrink small outline, 16 leads, 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm pitch, 1.2 mm max height - optimized for high-density PCB layouts with enhanced thermal dissipation vs. SO16.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 15 | Q0–Q7 | Parallel output terminals from storage register - drive external loads (e.g., LED segments, GPIO expanders) only after STCP edge. |
| 8 | GND | Ground reference for all internal logic and output stages - must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 9 | Q7S | Serial output of final shift register stage - enables daisy-chaining multiple 74AHCT594 devices. |
| 10 | SHR | Active-low asynchronous reset for shift register only - clears shift stages independently of storage register state. |
| 11 | SHCP | Positive-edge-triggered clock for shift register - advances DS bit into stage 0 and shifts existing bits right. |
| 12 | STCP | Positive-edge-triggered clock for storage register - transfers current shift register contents to Q0–Q7 outputs. |
| 13 | STR | Active-low asynchronous reset for storage register only - clears Q0–Q7 outputs without disturbing shift register. |
| 14 | DS | Serial data input - sampled on SHCP rising edge; synchronized to shift register pipeline. |
| 16 | VCC | Primary power supply (4.5–5.5 V) - powers both shift and storage logic; decoupling required near pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent clocks | SHCP and STCP allow asynchronous shift and latch operations - eliminates race conditions when updating display buffers. |
| Separate asynchronous resets | SHR and STR enable selective clearing of shift or storage stages - critical for error recovery in communication protocols. |
| TTL-compatible inputs | VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V - ensures robust interfacing with legacy 5 V MCUs, PLDs, and logic families without pull-ups or translators. |
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Accepts signals up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC - simplifies system-level ESD protection and mixed-voltage board design. |
| High noise immunity | Input hysteresis (Schmitt-trigger action) suppresses false triggering from noisy industrial environments. |
Applications
| LED Matrix Display Driver | Industrial I/O Expander |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving 8×8 monochrome LED arrays in factory HMIs where microcontroller GPIO is limited. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Serially receives column scan data via DS/SHCP, then latches full row output on STCP to illuminate one row at a time. Use Value: Reduces MCU pin count from 16 (direct drive) to 3 (DS, SHCP, STCP) while maintaining 160 MHz update rate for flicker-free display. |
Use Scenario: Adding 8 digital outputs to a PLC module using a single SPI bus line. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shifts command bytes from master controller, then asserts STCP to atomically update all 8 outputs without glitching. Use Value: Enables deterministic, jitter-free output updates synchronized to STCP - essential for safety-critical actuator control. |
| Cascaded Data Acquisition Node | Remote Control Signal Latch |
|
Use Scenario: Aggregating sensor status bits from 4 remote nodes into a single 32-bit parallel word for upstream processing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Each node uses Q7S to feed next device's DS; final device outputs full 32-bit word on Q0–Q7 after four STCP pulses. Use Value: Eliminates need for multiplexers or additional logic; supports daisy-chain topology with minimal wiring and timing skew. |
Use Scenario: Holding IR remote button press states in battery-powered smart home remotes until MCU wakes to read. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Captures debounced button signals serially during sleep mode, then freezes state in storage register until wake-up STCP pulse. Use Value: Low quiescent current (ICC ≤ 40 μA) preserves battery life; STR allows instant reset on power-on or error. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74AHC594PW,112 | CMOS input thresholds (VIH = 3.85 V @ VCC = 5.5 V); wider 2.0–5.5 V supply range. | Requires level-shifting when interfacing with 3.3 V MCU driving 5 V logic; better for mixed-supply systems. | Select when system uses diverse voltage domains or needs lowest ICC (< 4 μA typical). |
| SN74HC595PWR | Single clock (SRCLK + RCLK), no independent SHR/STR; open-drain Q7S; 2–6 V supply. | Lacks independent shift/storage control - unsuitable for applications requiring asynchronous register isolation. | Prefer for cost-sensitive, non-critical timing designs where pin count and simplicity outweigh functional granularity. |

FAQ
Can SHCP and STCP be tied together?
Yes, but doing so causes the shift register to always lead the storage register by one clock cycle. This behavior is documented in the datasheet and may result in unintended output transitions if not accounted for in firmware timing. For deterministic control, use separate clocks with intentional phase offset.
What is the function of Q7S in cascade configurations?
Q7S outputs the bit shifted out of the eighth stage (Q7) of the shift register. When cascading, Q7S connects to the DS input of the next 74AHCT594, enabling seamless 16-, 24-, or N×8-bit serial chains without external logic or glue components.
How does SHR differ from STR in fault recovery?
SHR clears only the shift register (stopping incoming data flow), while STR clears only the storage register outputs (Q0–Q7). This allows independent recovery: e.g., hold current display (STR inactive) while flushing corrupted serial stream (SHR active), then reload cleanly.
Is the TSSOP16 package suitable for reflow soldering?
Yes - the SOT403-1 (TSSOP16) package is qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles per JEDEC J-STD-020. Its 0.65 mm pitch and exposed pad variant (not used here) support automated assembly; thermal resistance is 150 K/W junction-to-air, validated for 125 °C operation.
