Product details
Overview
74HC594PW-Q100 from Nexperia is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified 8-bit serial-in/parallel-out shift register with independent shift and storage registers, CMOS-level inputs, 2.0–6.0 V supply range, and TSSOP16 package. It enables synchronous serial-to-parallel data conversion in automotive body control modules, LED driver interfaces, and remote control holding registers via cascaded Q7S output and parallel Q0–Q7 outputs.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC594PW-Q100 datasheet, 74HC594PW-Q100 pinout, 74HC594PW-Q100 application, or 74HC594PW-Q100 equivalent, key selection considerations include independent SHCP/STCP clocks for pipeline control, active-low SHR/STR reset pins, 100 MHz typical max clock frequency at VCC = 6.0 V, and -40 °C to +125 °C automotive temperature operation.
Technical Context
The device implements a two-stage architecture: an 8-bit shift register accepting serial data on DS with LOW-to-HIGH SHCP transitions, and a separate 8-bit storage register loaded on LOW-to-HIGH STCP edges. This decoupling allows continuous serial shifting while holding stable parallel outputs - critical for glitch-free LED column driving and display multiplexing.
Each register has dedicated asynchronous reset (SHR, STR), enabling independent clearing without disrupting the other stage. Input clamp diodes permit safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors, supporting mixed-voltage system integration.

Pinout & Package
TSSOP16 package (SOT403-1), 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm lead pitch, surface-mount, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Q0) | Parallel output bit 0 | LSB of 8-bit latch output; driven after STCP edge; holds value until next STCP pulse |
| 2 (Q1) | Parallel output bit 1 | Second bit of storage register output; synchronized to STCP, not SHCP |
| 3 (Q2) | Parallel output bit 2 | Third bit of latched parallel output; immune to ongoing shift register activity |
| 4 (Q3) | Parallel output bit 3 | Fourth bit of stable output bank; enables simultaneous update of all 8 bits |
| 5 (Q4) | Parallel output bit 4 | Fifth bit of parallel output; isolated from shift register by storage register boundary |
| 6 (Q5) | Parallel output bit 5 | Sixth bit of latch output; maintains state during serial data loading |
| 7 (Q6) | Parallel output bit 6 | Seventh bit of parallel output; supports 8-bit wide data distribution |
| 8 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and output currents; must be low-impedance |
| 9 (Q7S) | Serial output (Q7) | MSB of shift register only - used for daisy-chaining multiple 74HC594 devices |
| 10 (SHR) | Shift register reset | Active-low asynchronous clear of shift register only; does not affect storage register contents |
| 11 (SHCP) | Shift register clock | LOW-to-HIGH edge shifts DS into stage 0 and advances prior data; controls serial load rate |
| 12 (STCP) | Storage register clock | LOW-to-HIGH edge transfers all 8 bits from shift register to output latches; updates Q0–Q7 |
| 13 (STR) | Storage register reset | Active-low asynchronous clear of storage register only; blanks parallel outputs immediately |
| 14 (DS) | Serial data input | Data sampled on SHCP rising edge; first bit enters shift register LSB position (stage 0) |
| 15 (Q7) | Parallel output bit 7 | MSB of latched parallel output; mirrors Q7S only after STCP pulse; provides stable output |
| 16 (VCC) | Positive supply | Power rail for both logic and output drivers; bypass capacitor required near pin for noise suppression |

Applications
| Automotive Body Control Unit | LED Matrix Display Driver |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Controlling door lock actuators, mirror positioning motors, and interior lighting zones via microcontroller GPIO expansion. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Serial-to-parallel converter that translates SPI-like serial commands into 8-bit parallel enable signals synchronized to STCP for deterministic actuator activation. Use Value: Reduces MCU pin count by 7× versus direct GPIO control while maintaining AEC-Q100 compliance and glitch-free output transitions. |
Use Scenario: Driving 8-column segments of a multiplexed 8×8 LED matrix in automotive instrument clusters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Storage register holds column data while shift register loads next column; STCP triggers simultaneous column update to prevent flicker. Use Value: Enables precise column blanking and brightness control via PWM on Q0–Q7, with Q7S cascading to row drivers for full display control. |
| Remote Keyless Entry Receiver | Industrial Sensor Interface Hub |
|
Use Scenario: Latching decoded RF packet payload bits (e.g., button press codes) for secure validation before MCU processing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Holding register that captures incoming serial data stream from demodulator and presents it as stable parallel byte on Q0–Q7. Use Value: Provides deterministic setup/hold timing (DS to SHCP: 4 ns min at VCC = 6.0 V) for reliable capture of short RF bursts in noisy environments. |
Use Scenario: Aggregating status bits from 8 discrete industrial sensors (e.g., limit switches, proximity detectors) into a single parallel bus for PLC input scanning. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Parallel output latch that isolates sensor inputs from PLC scan cycle jitter; STR resets latch on system power-up. Use Value: Eliminates need for polling or interrupt-driven sampling - each sensor state is available synchronously on Q0–Q7 with <15 ns propagation delay. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT594PW-Q100 | TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min), identical pinout and function | Better interoperability with legacy 5 V TTL logic; slightly higher ICC at VCC = 5.5 V | Select when interfacing with older 5 V microcontrollers or logic families requiring TTL thresholds |
| SN74HC595PWR | Non-automotive grade; no AEC-Q100 qualification; same functional block but STR pin omitted (no storage reset) | Limited to commercial/industrial use; lacks STR for independent storage register clear | Use only in non-automotive designs where AEC-Q100 is not required and STR functionality is unnecessary |
Compared with 74HC594PW-Q100, the 74HCT594PW-Q100 offers guaranteed TTL input compatibility at the cost of marginally higher static current, while the SN74HC595PWR sacrifices automotive qualification and storage reset capability for lower cost in non-critical applications.

FAQ
What is the difference between SHCP and STCP in the 74HC594PW-Q100?
SHCP (shift clock) controls data movement within the 8-bit shift register on each LOW-to-HIGH transition, while STCP (storage clock) transfers the entire 8-bit content from the shift register to the output storage register on its LOW-to-HIGH edge. This separation allows continuous serial loading without affecting currently displayed parallel outputs.
Can the 74HC594PW-Q100 drive LEDs directly?
Yes - each parallel output (Q0–Q7) delivers ±35 mA at VCC = 6.0 V, sufficient to drive standard 20 mA LEDs with appropriate series resistors. Q7S provides ±25 mA for cascading. Output voltage drop remains ≤0.4 V at 6 mA load, ensuring adequate forward bias across common LED types.
Is the 74HC594PW-Q100 pin-compatible with the SN74HC595?
No - although both are 8-bit shift registers with Q7S cascade, the 74HC594PW-Q100 includes dedicated STR (storage reset) and SHR (shift reset) pins (pins 13 and 10), whereas the SN74HC595 uses pin 10 as OE (output enable). Their pin functions and assignments differ, preventing direct replacement.
Does the 74HC594PW-Q100 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on control pins?
No - all inputs (SHCP, STCP, SHR, STR, DS) have internal clamp diodes and defined VIH/VIL thresholds. With proper VCC bypassing and clean signal sources, external biasing resistors are unnecessary. However, floating inputs must be avoided; unused control pins should be tied to VCC or GND.
