Product details
Overview
74VHCT595BQ-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-qualified 8-bit serial-in/parallel-out shift register with storage latches and 3-state outputs, operating from -40 °C to +125 °C. It features separate shift (SHCP) and storage (STCP) clocks, asynchronous master reset (MR), TTL-compatible inputs, and 16-terminal DHVQFN package. Used in LED matrix drivers and automotive body control modules for serial-to-parallel data expansion.
For engineers reviewing the 74VHCT595BQ-Q100 datasheet, 74VHCT595BQ-Q100 pinout, 74VHCT595BQ-Q100 application, or 74VHCT595BQ-Q100 equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL-level input compatibility, 3-state output control via OE, propagation delay ≤10.5 ns at 5 V, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, and DHVQFN thermal performance for space-constrained automotive PCBs.
Technical Context
This device 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. The separation enables pipelined operation-data shifted in one cycle appears at Q0–Q7 only after the next STCP edge.
Its TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V) ensure interoperability with legacy microcontrollers and logic families, while the 3-state outputs (enabled by active-low OE) support shared bus architectures without external gating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Pinout & Package
DHVQFN16 (SOT763-1) package: 2.5 × 3.5 × 0.85 mm body with side-wettable flanks for AOI-compatible solder joint inspection; thermally enhanced for sustained 5 V operation in compact automotive modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Q1) | Parallel output stage 1 | Direct connection to load (e.g., LED anode or MCU GPIO); high-impedance when OE = HIGH |
| 2 (Q2) | Parallel output stage 2 | Stage-aligned with Q0–Q7 for byte-wide data presentation; identical electrical specs across all Qn |
| 3 (Q3) | Parallel output stage 3 | Supports cascaded display or I/O expansion where timing alignment across all 8 outputs is critical |
| 4 (Q4) | Parallel output stage 4 | Guaranteed simultaneous enable/disable with other Qn pins via common OE control |
| 5 (Q5) | Parallel output stage 5 | Used in multiplexed systems requiring precise output hold time (tdis ≤12.0 ns) during state transitions |
| 6 (Q6) | Parallel output stage 6 | Matches Q0–Q7 propagation delay spec (tpd ≤10.5 ns) for deterministic timing in real-time control loops |
| 7 (Q7) | Parallel output stage 7 | MSB of parallel output byte; also feeds internal Q7S for daisy-chaining to next shift register |
| 8 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all I/O and supply currents; requires low-inductance PCB plane coupling |
| 9 (Q7S) | Serial output | Shifted-out MSB used to cascade to DS of downstream device; supports unlimited chain length with minimal skew |
| 10 (MR) | Master reset | Asynchronous active-LOW clear of shift register only; preserves storage register contents until next STCP |
| 11 (SHCP) | Shift clock | Rising-edge-triggered; controls serial data advancement; minimum pulse width 5.0 ns ensures reliable sampling |
| 12 (STCP) | Storage clock | Rising-edge-triggered latch enable; separates shift and output update phases to prevent glitches |
| 13 (OE) | Output enable | Active-LOW 3-state control; enables bus sharing or blanking during data loading (ten/tdis ≤14.5 ns) |
| 14 (DS) | Serial data input | Accepts TTL-level signals; setup/hold times (tsu/th = 3.0/2.0 ns) compatible with fast MCUs |
| 15 (Q0) | Parallel output stage 0 | LSB of parallel output; same timing and drive as Q1–Q7; used for least-significant bit routing |
| 16 (VCC) | Supply voltage | 5 V nominal rail; decoupling capacitor (≥100 nF) required within 5 mm for stable switching noise margin |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LV595PW-Q100 | Lower VCC range (1.65–5.5 V); LV logic family; higher VOL at 3.3 V (0.55 V max) | Better suited for mixed-voltage 3.3 V/5 V systems; less drive strength than VHCT at 5 V | Select when system uses 3.3 V core logic and requires lower static current (ICC = 20 μA typ) |
| SN74HC595QPWRQ1 | CMOS input thresholds (VIH = 3.85 V min at 5 V); no TTL compatibility; TI packaging (TSSOP) | Requires level-shifting for legacy 5 V TTL sources; identical pinout but different thermal profile | Prefer when sourcing from TI-authorized channels or when HC-family consistency is required across BOM |

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74VHCT595BQ-Q100?
The device supports up to 170 MHz for both SHCP and STCP at VCC = 5 V and 25 °C (typical), with guaranteed minimum fmax of 90 MHz across -40 °C to +125 °C. This is enabled by balanced propagation delays and low input capacitance (CI = 10 pF max).
Can SHCP and STCP be tied together in this device?
Yes - connecting SHCP and STCP allows synchronous operation, but the shift register will always be one clock pulse ahead of the storage register. This configuration is valid and documented in the functional description, though it eliminates independent control of shift vs. latch timing.
How does the master reset (MR) affect the storage register outputs?
MR asynchronously clears only the 8-bit shift register; it has no effect on the storage register or its Q0–Q7 outputs. Outputs retain their last latched state until the next STCP edge or OE assertion, ensuring glitch-free behavior during reset sequences.
Is the DHVQFN16 package lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes - the 74VHCT595BQ-Q100 in SOT763-1 (DHVQFN16) package is lead-free, halogen-free, and fully compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, as confirmed in Nexperia's official product change notices.
