Product details
Overview
74HCT595DB,118 from Nexperia is an 8-bit serial-in/serial-or-parallel-out shift register with separate shift and storage registers, 3-state outputs, TTL-compatible inputs, and asynchronous master reset. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, supports up to 52 MHz shift clock frequency at 5 V, and drives 8 parallel outputs (Q0–Q7) or cascaded serial output (Q7S). Used in LED matrix drivers and microcontroller GPIO expansion where level-shifted serial-to-parallel conversion is required.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT595DB,118 datasheet, 74HCT595DB,118 pinout, 74HCT595DB,118 application, or 74HCT595DB,118 equivalent, this device delivers deterministic timing for synchronous data latching, low-power CMOS logic with TTL input thresholds, and robust 3-state output control for bus sharing - critical for embedded control systems with limited I/O resources.
Technical Context
The 74HCT595DB,118 implements dual-register architecture: an 8-stage shift register clocks data in via DS on SHCP rising edges, while a separate storage register captures that data on STCP rising edges - enabling independent shift and latch timing. Its TTL-level inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 5 V) ensure compatibility with legacy 5 V microcontrollers without level-shifting.
Outputs are actively driven high/low when OE is LOW; asserting OE HIGH places Q0–Q7 in high-impedance state without affecting internal register contents. The MR input asynchronously clears only the shift register (not storage), and all inputs include clamp diodes for safe interfacing to voltages beyond VCC using current-limiting resistors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | 74HCT - TTL-compatible input thresholds with CMOS output drive and low static power |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - matches standard 5 V systems; excludes 2–6 V HC range |
| Max Shift Clock (fmax) | 52 MHz at VCC = 5 V - enables >10 Mbps serial data loading for real-time display updates |
| Propagation Delay | SHCP→Q7S: 42 ns typ; STCP→Qn: 40 ns typ - ensures sub-50 ns timing margin for 20 MHz latched output updates |
| Output Drive | ±6 mA per Qn pin at VCC = 5 V - sufficient to directly drive LEDs or interface to 74-series inputs without buffers |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial motor-control environments |
| ESD Rating | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 3 for board-level robustness |
Pinout & Package
74HCT595DB,118 uses the SOT338-1 (SSOP16) package: plastic shrink small outline, 16 leads, 0.65 mm pitch, body width 5.3 mm. Pin 1 index located at top-left corner with notch marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Q0) | Parallel output bit 0 | LSB of latched 8-bit parallel output; synchronized to STCP edge, enabled by OE |
| 2 (Q1) | Parallel output bit 1 | Second bit of storage register output; electrically identical to Q0, Q2–Q7 |
| 3 (Q2) | Parallel output bit 2 | Third bit of latched parallel bus; shares same 3-state control and timing as Q0–Q7 |
| 4 (Q3) | Parallel output bit 3 | Fourth bit of 8-bit output latch; used in nibble-aligned display or sensor readout |
| 5 (Q4) | Parallel output bit 4 | Fifth bit of parallel output group; supports segmented control in multi-digit LED drivers |
| 6 (Q5) | Parallel output bit 5 | Sixth bit of storage register; enables full byte-wide peripheral control from serial stream |
| 7 (Q6) | Parallel output bit 6 | Seventh bit of latched output; critical for MSB-aligned data transfer in SPI-based systems |
| 8 (GND) | Ground reference | 0 V return for all internal logic and output drivers; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 9 (Q7S) | Serial output | MSB of shift register (Q7); enables daisy-chaining multiple 74HCT595s without external wiring |
| 10 (MR) | Master reset | Asynchronous active-LOW input; clears shift register only - leaves storage register unchanged |
| 11 (SHCP) | Shift clock | Rising-edge-triggered clock for serial data entry into shift register; tolerant of slow edges |
| 12 (STCP) | Storage clock | Rising-edge-triggered clock transferring shift register contents to output latches; decoupled from SHCP |
| 13 (OE) | Output enable | Active-LOW control for 3-state outputs; no effect on internal registers - enables bus sharing |
| 14 (DS) | Serial data input | Data entered on SHCP rising edge; first bit shifted becomes Q0 after eight clocks |
| 15 (Q7) | Parallel output bit 7 | MSB of latched parallel output; synchronized to STCP, disabled when OE = HIGH |
| 16 (VCC) | Supply voltage | +5 V nominal supply; powers both logic core and output drivers; bypass capacitor required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent clocks | Separate SHCP and STCP allow pipelined operation: new data can shift in while previous data is latched and output |
| TTL-compatible inputs | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at 5 V - interoperates directly with 5 V MCUs, FPGAs, and legacy logic |
| 3-state parallel outputs | OE-controlled high-impedance mode permits shared bus operation without contention or external tri-state logic |
| Asynchronous shift register clear | MR resets only the shift register - preserves previously latched data in storage register during reinitialization |
| Clamp diode inputs | Internal diodes allow safe connection to signals exceeding VCC (e.g., 12 V sensors) when used with series current-limiting resistors |
| Industrial temperature range | −40 °C to +125 °C operation - validated for use in motor drives, power supplies, and automotive ECUs |
Applications
| LED Matrix Driver | Microcontroller GPIO Expander |
|---|---|

Use Scenario: Driving 8×8 monochrome LED displays using SPI-connected microcontrollers with limited parallel I/O. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Serial-to-parallel converter that accepts SPI MOSI data and clocks it into Q0–Q7 outputs synchronized to STCP for stable column/row activation.

FAQ
Can 74HCT595DB,118 operate at 3.3 V?
No - the 74HCT595DB,118 is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation. Its TTL-compatible inputs require minimum 2.0 V VIH, which is not guaranteed below 4.5 V supply. For 3.3 V systems, use the 74HC595DB,118 variant instead, which supports 2.0–6.0 V and has CMOS input thresholds.
What is the maximum recommended capacitive load on Q0–Q7 outputs?
The datasheet specifies reliable operation with ≤50 pF total load capacitance per output, including PCB trace and downstream input capacitance. Exceeding this may increase propagation delay beyond 60 ns and cause setup/hold violations in high-speed latching; add series 22 Ω resistors if driving >30 pF.
How does MR interact with the storage register during reset?
The MR input affects only the shift register - it asynchronously clears all eight stages to zero but leaves the storage register and its Q0–Q7 outputs unchanged. This allows safe reinitialization of incoming serial data without disrupting currently active parallel outputs.
Is the Q7S output inverted relative to Q7?
No - Q7S is the non-inverted serial output of the shift register's Q7 stage. It mirrors the value present at Q7 *before* the latest SHCP edge; after the edge, Q7S reflects the prior Q6 value due to shift-through behavior, but polarity remains true - no inversion occurs in normal operation.
