Product details
Overview
74HC595BQ,115 from Nexperia is an 8-bit serial-in/serial-or-parallel-out shift register with independent shift and storage registers, 3-state outputs, asynchronous master reset (MR), and dual clocks (SHCP, STCP). It operates from 2.0 V to 6.0 V, supports cascading via Q7S, and delivers up to 100 MHz typical shift-out frequency. It is used in LED matrix drivers and microcontroller GPIO expansion where serial-to-parallel conversion and output latching are required.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC595BQ,115 datasheet, 74HC595BQ,115 pinout, 74HC595BQ,115 application, or 74HC595BQ,115 equivalent, this device serves as a low-power, industrial-grade shift register for embedded control systems requiring precise timing control, latch isolation, and high-noise immunity across -40 °C to +125 °C.
Technical Context
The device implements two synchronized but functionally separate 8-bit registers: a shift register accepting serial data on DS at SHCP edges, and a storage register loaded on STCP edges to drive parallel outputs Q0–Q7. Output enable (OE) controls 3-state operation independently of register state.
Its CMOS logic ensures rail-to-rail voltage compatibility (2.0–6.0 V), input clamp diodes allow safe interfacing with voltages exceeding VCC, and propagation delays are specified down to 15 ns (VCC = 6 V) for SHCP→Q7S and STCP→Qn paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | 74HC - high-speed CMOS compatible with TTL input thresholds only in HCT variant; this part is HC, not HCT. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - enables direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers without level shifting. |
| Max Shift Frequency | 100 MHz (typical) - supports high-throughput serial data loading in real-time control loops. |
| Propagation Delay | 15 ns (SHCP→Q7S, VCC = 6 V) - ensures tight timing alignment in synchronous cascaded chains. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor control environments. |
| Output Drive | ±35 mA per Qn pin - sufficient to directly drive LEDs or small logic loads without external buffers. |
| ESD Rating | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - robust against handling and board-level electrostatic discharge events. |
Pinout & Package
DHVQFN16 package (SOT763-1): 2.5 × 3.5 × 0.85 mm body, 16-terminal leadless quad flat, thermal-enhanced, no leads, exposed die pad (not electrically connected in base variant).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Q1) | Parallel output stage 1 | Drives external load; high-impedance when OE = HIGH; latched value from storage register. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and output currents; must be low-inductance connection. |
| 3 (DS) | Serial data input | Accepts bitstream on rising SHCP edge; sampled synchronously to avoid metastability. |
| 4 (Q4) | Parallel output stage 4 | Matches Q0–Q7 pinout order; enables consistent PCB layout across multiple devices. |
| 5 (Q5) | Parallel output stage 5 | Same electrical behavior as Q0–Q7; supports uniform current sourcing/sinking capability. |
| 6 (Q6) | Parallel output stage 6 | Used in 8-bit data bus reconstruction; timing aligned to STCP edge, not SHCP. |
| 7 (Q7) | Parallel output stage 7 / MSB | Final parallel output; also feeds internal Q7S for daisy-chaining to next device. |
| 8 (GND) | Second ground terminal | Reduces ground bounce in high-speed switching; improves noise immunity and thermal dissipation. |
| 9 (Q7S) | Serial output | Shift register's MSB output; connects to DS of next 74HC595 for multi-stage expansion. |
| 10 (MR) | Master reset (active LOW) | Asynchronously clears shift register only; storage register and outputs unaffected until next STCP. |
| 11 (SHCP) | Shift clock input | Rising-edge triggered; advances shift register one bit; independent of STCP timing. |
| 12 (STCP) | Storage clock input | Rising-edge triggered; transfers full 8-bit shift register content into output latches. |
| 13 (OE) | Output enable (active LOW) | Controls 3-state outputs only; no effect on internal register states or power consumption. |
| 14 (DS) | Serial data input (duplicate entry - see Pin 3) | Not applicable - Pin 3 is DS; Pin 14 is not assigned in SOT763-1 pinout per datasheet Fig. 4 and Table 2. |
| 15 (Q0) | Parallel output stage 0 / LSB | First parallel output; aligns with standard 8-bit LSB-first data ordering in firmware. |
| 16 (VCC) | Positive supply | Must be decoupled locally (e.g., 100 nF ceramic) near Pin 16 and Pin 2/GND pair. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent shift/storage clocks | Enables pipelined operation: new data can be shifted in while previous byte drives outputs. |
| Asynchronous master reset | Clears shift register without disturbing storage register contents or output states. |
| Clamp diode inputs | Permits safe interface to signals up to VCC + 0.5 V using series current-limiting resistors. |
| 3-state parallel outputs | Allows direct connection to shared buses; OE control eliminates need for external bus transceivers. |
| 100 MHz max shift rate (typ) | Supports >8 Mbit/s serial data throughput - suitable for fast LED refresh or sensor data aggregation. |
Applications
| LED Matrix Driver | Microcontroller GPIO Expander |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving 8×8 monochrome LED display with row/column scanning. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Serial-to-parallel converter that latches column data during active row scan; Q0–Q7 drive columns, Q7S cascades to next device for row control. Use Value: Reduces MCU I/O count from 16 to 3 pins (DS, SHCP, STCP) while maintaining flicker-free 1 kHz refresh via precise STCP timing. |
Use Scenario: Adding 8 digital outputs to an STM32F4 with limited GPIOs for relay control. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output latch buffer between SPI peripheral and high-current relay drivers; STCP isolates output updates from ongoing serial load.

| Sensor Data Aggregator | Industrial PLC Input Module |
|
Use Scenario: Consolidating status bits from 8 remote temperature sensors into single SPI stream.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT595BQ,115 | TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min); identical pinout and function; slightly higher ICC at 5 V. | Better suited for mixed 5 V TTL/CMOS systems where input noise margins require tighter VIH/VIL thresholds. | Select when interfacing legacy 5 V TTL logic or when input signal rise times exceed 100 ns. |
| SN74HC595PWR | TSSOP-16 package (SOT403-1); same electrical specs; 0.65 mm pitch; no exposed thermal pad. | Preferred for manual assembly or lower-cost PCB fabrication where QFN reflow is unavailable. | Choose for prototyping or low-volume production where thermal performance is secondary to assembly simplicity. |
Compared with 74HCT595BQ,115, the HC variant offers wider VCC range (2–6 V) and lower input threshold sensitivity, while SN74HC595PWR trades thermal efficiency for assembly flexibility - both retain identical functional timing and latch behavior.

FAQ
Can 74HC595BQ,115 operate at 3.3 V?
Yes. The 74HC595BQ,115 is fully specified from 2.0 V to 6.0 V, including 3.3 V operation. At VCC = 3.3 V, VOH ≥ 2.97 V (IO = –4 mA), VOL ≤ 0.33 V (IO = 4 mA), and propagation delay is typically 24 ns (SHCP→Q7S), meeting standard 3.3 V logic interface requirements.
What is the function of the Q7S pin?
Q7S is the serial output of the shift register's most significant bit (Q7). It enables daisy-chaining: Q7S of one device connects to DS of the next, allowing unlimited expansion of parallel outputs using only three control lines (SHCP, STCP, OE) plus one data line per chain.
How does MR differ from STCP in reset behavior?
MR asynchronously clears only the shift register (stages 0–7), leaving the storage register and Q0–Q7 outputs unchanged until the next STCP edge. STCP transfers data but does not clear; MR provides immediate shift-register reset without affecting latched output states or requiring clock synchronization.
Is the DHVQFN16 package RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes. The SOT763-1 package used for 74HC595BQ,115 is lead-free, RoHS-compliant, and halogen-free per Nexperia's product compliance documentation. It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3) and requires standard reflow profile for QFN packages.
