Product details
Overview
HCF4094BEY from STMicroelectronics is an 8-stage CMOS serial-in, parallel-out shift-and-store bus register with 3-state outputs, designed for data latching and bus interfacing in digital control systems. It features dual serial outputs (QS and Q'S), strobe-controlled storage register transfer, output-enable control, and operates up to 5 MHz at 10 V supply. Used in remote control holding registers and industrial I/O expansion.
For engineers reviewing the HCF4094BEY datasheet, HCF4094BEY pinout, HCF4094BEY application, or HCF4094BEY equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SO-16 package details, cascading timing behavior, and automotive-grade alternatives aligned with AEC-Q100 qualification.
Technical Context
The HCF4094BEY implements a two-stage pipeline: an 8-bit shift register followed by an independent 8-bit storage latch. Data shifts on the positive clock edge; the STROBE signal transfers all 8 bits from shift register to latch simultaneously. Outputs are enabled only when OUTPUT-ENABLE is high, placing them in high-impedance state otherwise.
It provides two synchronized serial outputs: QS delivers data on the rising clock edge (for fast-rise clocks), while Q'S delivers the same data on the falling edge (for slow-rise clocks), enabling robust daisy-chaining without external delay compensation. Both outputs support cascading of multiple devices without added logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage range | 3 V to 20 V - supports wide-system rail compatibility including 5 V, 10 V, and 15 V logic domains |
| Max clock frequency | 5 MHz at VDD = 10 V - enables real-time serial-to-parallel conversion in medium-speed control loops |
| Propagation delay (clock to Qn) | 135 ns (typ) at VDD = 15 V - defines minimum cycle time for synchronous output update after strobe |
| Output drive (IOL / IOH) | ±2.4 mA at VDD = 15 V - sufficient to drive 50 pF loads and interface directly with TTL/CMOS inputs |
| Input leakage current | ±100 nA max at VDD = 18 V, TA = 25 °C - ensures low standby power and stable logic levels in battery-backed systems |
| ESD rating (HBM) | 1 kV - meets basic handling robustness requirements for industrial assembly environments |
| Operating temperature | -55 °C to +125 °C - qualified for extended-range automotive and harsh-environment industrial use |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in a 16-pin Small Outline (SO-16) package with standard 1.27 mm pitch, compliant with ECOPACK® environmental specifications and suitable for surface-mount reflow assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | STROBE | Active-high latch control: transfers all 8 bits from shift register to storage register on high level |
| 2 | DATA | Serial data input: loaded into LSB of shift register on each positive clock edge |
| 3 | CLOCK | Positive-edge-triggered shift clock: advances data through 8 stages synchronously |
| 4–7, 11–14 | Q1–Q8 | 3-state parallel outputs: driven only when OUTPUT-ENABLE is high; otherwise high-Z for bus sharing |
| 9, 10 | QS, Q'S | Dual serial outputs: QS mirrors 7th stage on rising edge; Q'S mirrors same on falling edge for cascading |
| 15 | OUTPUT ENABLE | Active-high output control: enables/disables all Q1–Q8 drivers simultaneously |
| 8 | VSS | Negative supply reference (ground): required return path for all internal logic and output stages |
| 16 | VDD | Positive supply rail: powers all CMOS circuitry; supports operation up to 20 V absolute max |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 3-state parallel outputs | Enable direct connection to shared data buses without external tri-state buffers or contention risk |
| Dual-edge serial outputs | QS and Q'S eliminate setup/hold timing constraints in multi-device daisy chains across varying clock rise times |
| Strobe-synchronized latching | Decouples serial loading from parallel output update - allows asynchronous data capture and synchronous release |
| Wide supply range (3–20 V) | Permits interoperability across legacy 5 V, modern 10 V, and high-voltage industrial control rails |
| Automotive-grade variant available | HCF4094Y meets AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (-40 °C to +125 °C) with advanced screening per AEC-Q001/Q002 |
Applications
| Remote Control Holding Register | Industrial I/O Expansion |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Latching infrared or RF command codes from microcontroller UART/SPI for persistent display or actuator control. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Serial-to-parallel converter with strobe-gated output freeze, isolating command execution from ongoing serial reception. Use Value: Enables zero-latency command retention during host processor sleep or interrupt latency, using only one GPIO for serial load and separate strobe/enable control. |
Use Scenario: Expanding PLC or motion controller digital outputs to drive solenoids, relays, or LED indicators via shared backplane bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bus-interface register providing isolated, enable-controlled 8-bit output staging synchronized to system clock domain. Use Value: Reduces microcontroller pin count and simplifies PCB routing by consolidating 8 outputs onto a single 3-state bus segment with deterministic update timing. |
| Automotive Body Control Module | Consumer Appliance Display Driver |
|
Use Scenario: Driving door lock actuators, mirror controls, or interior lighting in AEC-Q100-compliant body electronics modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability shift-and-store register with extended temperature operation and ESD-hardened I/O. Use Value: Delivers certified functional safety support for non-critical vehicle subsystems without requiring additional watchdog or redundancy circuitry. |
Use Scenario: Controlling segmented LCD backlight zones or LED status arrays in washing machines, microwaves, or HVAC panels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-power, noise-immune parallel output driver accepting serialized commands from main MCU over minimal wiring. Use Value: Minimizes EMI-sensitive traces across appliance chassis while maintaining precise timing for flicker-free LED dimming sequences. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit shift-and-store register applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD4094BE | Pin-compatible but unqualified for automotive; max VDD = 18 V; no AEC-Q100 screening; lower ESD (HBM 0.5 kV) | Suitable for commercial-grade consumer or lab equipment where extended temp or automotive reliability not required | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs qualification needs and supply stays ≤18 V |
| SN74HC595N | 3.3 V / 5 V only; no Q'S output; different strobe logic (RCLK instead of STROBE); higher speed (100 MHz) | Better for high-speed 5 V microcontroller interfaces but lacks dual-edge cascading and wide-voltage flexibility | Choose for modern 5 V designs needing faster throughput and simpler timing, with no need for 10–15 V operation |
Compared with CD4094BE and SN74HC595N, the HCF4094BEY uniquely combines automotive qualification, 3–20 V operation, and dual-edge serial outputs-making it the only choice for ruggedized, multi-rail, daisy-chainable bus register applications.

FAQ
What is the function of the STROBE and OUTPUT-ENABLE pins?
STROBE is an active-high control that copies all 8 bits from the shift register into the storage latch on its rising edge; OUTPUT-ENABLE is a separate active-high signal that gates the Q1–Q8 outputs, placing them in high-impedance state when low. This decoupling allows asynchronous data loading and synchronous output release.
Can HCF4094BEY operate at 3.3 V?
Yes-HCF4094BEY is fully specified down to 3 V supply, with guaranteed functionality including propagation delays, output drive, and noise margins. At 3.3 V, typical fmax is ~1.5 MHz, and output drive reduces to ±0.36 mA, sufficient for light capacitive loads and CMOS inputs.
How does QS differ from Q'S in cascading configurations?
QS outputs data on the rising clock edge, matching the shift action; Q'S outputs the identical data on the falling edge. This allows downstream devices to sample valid data regardless of clock rise time-QS used with fast clocks, Q'S with slow or asymmetric clocks-eliminating inter-device skew without external delay elements.
Is HCF4094BEY RoHS and REACH compliant?
Yes-HCF4094BEY is manufactured in ST's ECOPACK®-compliant SO-16 package, meeting RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, with lead-free terminations and halogen-free molding compound as documented in ST's official material declarations.
