Product details
Overview
74LVC8T595 from Nexperia is a dual-supply 8-bit serial-in/parallel-out or serial-out shift register with independent shift and storage registers, 3-state outputs, and IOFF-enabled partial power-down operation. It supports voltage translation between 1.1 V–5.5 V domains (e.g., 1.8 V logic controlling 3.3 V LEDs), features ±24 mA output drive at 3.0 V, and operates from –40 °C to +125 °C.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC8T595 datasheet, 74LVC8T595 pinout, 74LVC8T595 application, or 74LVC8T595 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-voltage domain timing isolation, suspend-mode high-impedance output behavior when VCC(A) = GND, and guaranteed output skew ≤1.0 ns across Q0–Q7 at 5.0 V.
Technical Context
The device implements two synchronized but independently clocked 8-bit registers: an upstream shift register clocked by SHCP (data shifted on rising edge) and a downstream storage register clocked by STCP (data latched on rising edge). This architecture enables pipelined data flow - e.g., new serial data can be loaded while previous parallel outputs remain stable.
VCC(A) powers control inputs (MR, SHCP, STCP, OE, DS) and serial output Q7S; VCC(B) powers parallel outputs Q0–Q7. The IOFF circuit disables all Qn outputs during VCC(A) power-down, preventing backflow current, and forces Qn into high-impedance OFF-state in suspend mode (VCC(A) = GND).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | 8-bit serial-in/parallel-out or serial-out shift register with separate shift/storage clocks and 3-state outputs |
| VCC(A) Range | 1.1 V to 5.5 V - powers MR, SHCP, STCP, OE, DS, and Q7S; enables level translation for control-side logic |
| VCC(B) Range | 1.1 V to 5.5 V - powers Q0–Q7 outputs; allows independent voltage domain for load-side interface |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA at VCC(A) = VCC(B) = 3.0 V - sufficient to directly drive LEDs or standard CMOS loads without external buffers |
| Propagation Delay | 1.0 ns (min) to 7.2 ns (max) SHCP→Q7S at 5.0 V - supports >175 MHz serial clock rates in high-speed data chaining |
| Output Skew | ≤1.0 ns max Q0–Q7 (VCC(A)=5.0 V, VCC(B)=5.0 V) - ensures simultaneous parallel output assertion for timing-critical displays or bus interfaces |
| IOFF Leakage | ±2 μA max at VCC(A)=0 V, VCC(B)=5.5 V - guarantees safe hot-swap and partial power-down in mixed-rail systems |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP20 package (SOT360-1), 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm pitch, 20-pin surface-mount. Pin 1 index located at top-left corner; exposed pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC(B) | Supply for Qn outputs | Defines logic-high level and drive strength of parallel outputs Q0–Q7; isolated from control-side supply |
| VCC(A) | Supply for control inputs & Q7S | Powers MR, SHCP, STCP, OE, DS, and serial output Q7S; enables voltage translation between domains |
| Q0–Q7 | Parallel data outputs | 3-state buffered outputs referenced to VCC(B); individually controllable via OE and STCP |
| Q7S | Serial data output | Shift register's serial output stage; referenced to VCC(A); used for daisy-chaining multiple devices |
| DS | Serial data input | Data entry point for shift register; accepts up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC(A) level |
| SHCP | Shift clock input | Rising-edge-triggered clock for shifting data through 8-bit shift register |
| STCP | Storage clock input | Rising-edge-triggered clock for transferring shift register contents to parallel output latches |
| MR | Master reset (active LOW) | Asynchronously clears shift register only; does not affect storage register or Qn outputs |
| OE | Output enable (active LOW) | Controls 3-state behavior of Q0–Q7; high-impedance when HIGH, enabled when LOW |
| GND | Ground reference | Four dedicated ground pins (10, 11, 12, 13) minimize noise coupling and improve signal integrity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent supply domains | VCC(A) and VCC(B) each support 1.1 V–5.5 V - enables seamless interfacing between disparate logic families (e.g., 1.8 V FPGA to 5.0 V LED array) |
| IOFF partial power-down | Qn outputs enter high-impedance OFF-state when VCC(A) = GND - prevents back-current and supports hot-plug operation |
| Separate shift/storage clocks | SHCP and STCP operate independently - allows continuous serial loading while holding stable parallel outputs |
| Low output skew | ≤1.0 ns max skew across Q0–Q7 at 5.0 V - critical for synchronous display drivers and parallel bus applications |
| Wide temperature range | Specified from –40 °C to +125 °C - suitable for automotive under-hood, industrial motor control, and telecom infrastructure |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit dual-supply shift register applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LV8154IPW | Single-supply (1.65 V–5.5 V); no VCC(A)/VCC(B) separation; lacks IOFF and suspend mode | Cannot isolate control and output domains; unsuitable for partial power-down or mixed-rail hot-swap | Select when only one supply rail exists and IOFF is unnecessary |
| 74AVC8T245PW | 8-bit dual-supply bus transceiver (not shift register); no internal storage register or clocking logic | Provides bidirectional level translation only; no serial-to-parallel conversion capability | Select only for static level-shifting; not a functional substitute for shift/register functionality |
Compared with SN74LV8154IPW and 74AVC8T245PW, the 74LVC8T595 uniquely delivers dual-domain timing isolation, pipelined shift+storage operation, and certified IOFF safety - making it the sole choice for robust mixed-voltage serial interface expansion with fail-safe power sequencing.

FAQ
What happens to Q0–Q7 outputs when VCC(A) is powered down to 0 V?
When VCC(A) reaches GND, the device enters suspend mode: all Q0–Q7 outputs immediately enter high-impedance OFF-state regardless of OE or STCP state. This IOFF behavior prevents back-current flow from VCC(B)-powered loads into the unpowered control domain, satisfying IEC 61000-4-2 and automotive hot-swap requirements.
Can SHCP and STCP be tied together for simplified operation?
Yes - connecting SHCP and STCP enables single-clock operation where the storage register always lags the shift register by one cycle. However, this eliminates independent control of serial loading vs. parallel output update, reducing flexibility in real-time display or buffering applications requiring asynchronous updates.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported for STCP at 3.3 V supply?
At VCC(A) = VCC(B) = 3.3 V and Tamb = +25 °C, the maximum STCP frequency is 130 MHz. Over the full –40 °C to +125 °C range, it de-rates to 40 MHz minimum - verified by dynamic characterization tables covering worst-case process/voltage/temperature corners.
How does the MR (Master Reset) pin affect the storage register and parallel outputs?
MR is asynchronous and active LOW, but affects only the 8-bit shift register - clearing it to all zeros. It has no effect on the storage register contents or the Q0–Q7 parallel outputs, which retain their last latched values until updated by STCP. This allows safe reset of incoming data stream without disrupting active display or I/O states.
