Product details
Overview
74VHC595D,118 from Nexperia is an 8-bit serial-in/parallel-out shift register with storage latch and 3-state outputs in SO16 package. It performs serial-to-parallel data conversion using separate shift (SHCP) and storage (STCP) clocks, supports asynchronous master reset (MR), and operates from 2.0 V to 5.5 V for industrial control and LED matrix driving.
For engineers reviewing the 74VHC595D,118 datasheet, 74VHC595D,118 pinout, 74VHC595D,118 application, or 74VHC595D,118 equivalent, this device is selected for precise timing-critical serial interface expansion where output latching, bus isolation via OE control, and TTL-compatible input thresholds (in VHCT variant) are required.
Technical Context
The 74VHC595D implements two synchronized but independent 8-bit registers: a serial shift register accepting data on SHCP rising edges and a parallel storage register loaded on STCP rising edges. Its dual-clock architecture enables pipeline operation-data shifted in one cycle appears at Q0–Q7 only after the next STCP edge.
It features Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, CMOS-level input compatibility (VIH = 3.85 V @ VCC = 5.5 V), 3-state outputs controlled by active-low OE, and asynchronous MR that clears only the shift register-not the storage register-ensuring output stability during reset.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | VHC (High-speed CMOS); compatible with LSTTL pinout and drive levels |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 5.5 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing and low-power operation |
| Max Clock Frequency | 170 MHz @ VCC = 5.5 V - enables high-throughput serial data loading in real-time control loops |
| Propagation Delay | 4.0 ns (SHCP→Q7S, CL = 15 pF, VCC = 5.5 V) - ensures tight timing margins in cascaded shift-register chains |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA @ VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to directly drive LEDs or standard logic loads without external buffers |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor-control environments |
| ESD Rating | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - robust handling in automated assembly and field-replaceable modules |
Pinout & Package
74VHC595D,118 uses the SO16 (SOT109-1) plastic small outline package: 16-pin, 3.9 mm body width, 1.27 mm pitch, gull-wing leads. Pin 1 index located at top-left corner with notch marking orientation.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–7, 15 | Q0–Q7 parallel outputs | 8-bit latched data bus; 3-state when OE = HIGH - enables shared-bus multiplexing |
| 8 | GND | Reference ground for all internal logic and I/O - must be low-impedance for noise-free shifting |
| 9 | Q7S serial output | Cascadable output; feeds DS of next stage - supports unlimited bit-width expansion |
| 10 | MR (Master Reset) | Asynchronous active-LOW reset of shift register only - preserves stored output state during reinitialization |
| 11 | SHCP (Shift Clock) | Rising-edge triggered clock for serial data entry - determines maximum data rate in shift chain |
| 12 | STCP (Storage Clock) | Rising-edge triggered clock for latch transfer - decouples shift timing from output update timing |
| 13 | OE (Output Enable) | Active-LOW control of Q0–Q7 3-state drivers - allows dynamic bus contention avoidance |
| 14 | DS (Data Serial Input) | Single-bit serial data entry point - synchronized to SHCP for deterministic bit alignment |
| 16 | VCC | Positive supply rail - powers both shift and storage registers; bypass capacitor required at pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent clocks (SHCP/STCP) | Enables pipelined operation: new data shifts in while previous data remains latched and stable on outputs |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Provides > 0.5 V hysteresis on all control pins - rejects EMI and slow-rising signals in noisy industrial wiring |
| CMOS-level input thresholds | VIH = 3.85 V @ VCC = 5.5 V - ensures reliable recognition of microcontroller GPIO outputs without level-shifting |
| 3-state parallel outputs with OE | Allows direct connection to shared data buses (e.g., SPI peripherals or display column drivers) without external MUX |
| Asynchronous MR with shift-only reset | Prevents unintended output glitches during system initialization - storage register retains last valid state |
Applications
| LED Matrix Driver | Microcontroller I/O Expander |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving 8×8 monochrome LED grid with row-scanning and column data latching. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Serial data shifter and parallel output latch - receives column data via SPI, holds it stable during row activation. Use Value: Eliminates need for 8 dedicated GPIOs; enables precise 100+ Hz refresh rates using single SPI line and two timer-controlled clocks (SHCP/STCP). |
Use Scenario: Adding 8 digital output lines to an STM32 MCU with limited GPIOs for sensor actuation and status indication. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output port expander - accepts serial commands from MCU's USART/SPI and presents latched parallel outputs. Use Value: Reduces firmware overhead vs. bit-banged GPIO; provides glitch-free output updates synchronized to STCP edge. |
| Industrial PLC Output Module | Cascaded Digital Control Bus |
|
Use Scenario: Isolating and driving 8 relay coils in a DIN-rail mounted programmable logic controller. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-translating and latched output stage - interfaces 3.3 V logic to 24 V relay drivers with noise-immune control. Use Value: MR pin enables safe power-up reset without relay chatter; OE allows hot-swap diagnostics via bus disable. |
Use Scenario: Building a 32-bit distributed control bus across four PCBs using daisy-chained shift registers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Cascaded serial register node - Q7S of upstream feeds DS of downstream; STCP globally synchronized. Use Value: Single SHCP/STCP pair controls entire 32-bit chain; propagation delay stacking is predictable (≤ 16.5 ns per stage @ 5.5 V). |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74VHCT595D,118 | TTL-compatible inputs (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V); identical pinout and function | Better interoperability with legacy 5 V TTL logic families and older microcontrollers lacking CMOS-level drive | Select when interfacing to 74LS, 74ALS, or early PIC/AVR devices with weak high-level output drive |
| SN74HC595PWR | TI part; same VCC range (2–6 V), but higher ICC (80 μA max vs. 40 μA), no Schmitt triggers on inputs | Lacks input hysteresis - more susceptible to noise on long traces or unshielded cables in factory floors | Prefer for cost-sensitive consumer designs with clean signal paths; avoid in high-noise industrial settings |
Compared with 74VHC595D,118, the 74VHCT595D,118 offers superior legacy logic compatibility at identical speed and packaging, while the SN74HC595PWR trades noise immunity for broader voltage tolerance and lower unit cost - making the VHC variant optimal for new industrial designs requiring robustness and precision timing.

FAQ
Can 74VHC595D,118 operate at 3.3 V with guaranteed timing?
Yes. The datasheet specifies full functionality from 2.0 V to 5.5 V, including tpd ≤ 13.0 ns (SHCP→Q7S) and fmax ≥ 125 MHz at VCC = 3.3 V (3.0–3.6 V range). All DC parameters - including VIH/VIL thresholds and output drive - are characterized and guaranteed across this range.
What happens to Q0–Q7 outputs during MR assertion?
MR only resets the 8-bit shift register; it does not affect the storage register or Q0–Q7 outputs. Outputs remain latched at their last valid state until STCP is pulsed or OE is toggled. This behavior prevents unintended output transients during system reset sequences.
Is Q7S output synchronized to SHCP or STCP?
Q7S is strictly synchronous to SHCP - it reflects the state of the shift register's final stage (Q7) on each SHCP rising edge, independent of STCP. This enables deterministic cascading: Q7S of Stage N feeds DS of Stage N+1, with timing governed solely by SHCP propagation delay.
How does OE interact with the storage register contents?
OE controls only the 3-state output drivers - it has no effect on the storage register's internal state. When OE = HIGH, Q0–Q7 enter high-impedance mode but retain their latched values; when OE returns LOW, the previously stored data reappears immediately without delay or re-latching.
