Product details
Overview
HEF4894BT,112 from Nexperia is a 12-stage CMOS serial-in/parallel-out shift-and-store register with open-drain LED driver outputs (QP0–QP11), dual cascading serial outputs (QS1/QS2), strobe-controlled latch transfer, and output enable (OE). It operates from 3 V to 15 V over –40 °C to +125 °C and is used in LED matrix drivers, segment displays, and industrial status indicators requiring synchronized data latching and high-voltage drive capability.
For engineers reviewing the HEF4894BT,112 datasheet, HEF4894BT,112 pinout, HEF4894BT,112 application, or HEF4894BT,112 equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-edge cascading outputs (QS1 on CP↑, QS2 on CP↓), 12-bit storage latch timing, open-drain output current rating (40 mA per QPn), wide supply range, and SO20 package compatibility with legacy 4000-series logic footprints.
Technical Context
The HEF4894BT implements a two-stage pipeline: a 12-bit serial shift register followed by a parallel storage register. Data shifts on each positive CP edge and transfers to the storage register when STR is HIGH - decoupling serial loading from output update. This enables asynchronous data streaming and synchronous display refresh.
Its dual serial outputs support both fast-rise (QS1) and slow-rise (QS2) clock environments for reliable daisy-chaining. All 12 QPn outputs are open-drain, allowing direct connection to LEDs with external pull-ups or higher-voltage supplies up to 15 V, while OE provides global output disable with sub-100 ns enable/disable timing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | 12-stage shift-and-store register with open-drain LED driver outputs |
| Supply Voltage Range | 3 V to 15 V - supports mixed-voltage systems and direct LED anode biasing |
| Output Type | Open-drain QP0–QP11 - enables high-side LED switching with external pull-up to up to 15 V |
| Max Clock Frequency | 28 MHz at VDD = 15 V - allows >300 kSPS serial load rate for full 12-bit update |
| Propagation Delay (CP→QPn) | 55–120 ns at VDD = 15 V - ensures tight timing control for synchronized multi-device displays |
| Strobe Pulse Width (STR) | Minimum 12 ns at VDD = 15 V - permits short, glitch-immune latch strobes in high-speed systems |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood, industrial control, and power-conversion environments |
Pinout & Package
HEF4894BT,112 is packaged in SO20 (SOT163-1): plastic small outline, 20-pin, 7.5 mm body width, standard JEDEC MS-013 footprint compatible with legacy 4000B-series layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (STR) | Strobe input | Transfers all 12 bits from shift register to storage latch on HIGH level; enables synchronous output update |
| 2 (D) | Serial data input | Accepts CMOS-level serial data; shifted into stage 0 on each CP↑ transition |
| 3 (CP) | Positive-edge clock | Drives internal shift register; rising edge advances data one stage and updates QS1 |
| 4–9, 13–18 (QP0–QP11) | Parallel open-drain outputs | 12 individually controllable outputs; sink up to 40 mA each; require external pull-up for LED drive |
| 11 (QS1) | Primary serial output | Outputs Q10S on CP↑ - optimized for fast-clock cascading (e.g., ≥10 MHz systems) |
| 12 (QS2) | Secondary serial output | Outputs Q11S on CP↓ - compensates for slow clock rise times in long daisy chains |
| 19 (OE) | Output enable | Active-HIGH; places all QPn outputs in high-impedance state within ≤100 ns |
| 10 (VSS) | Ground reference | 0 V return for logic and output stages; must be low-impedance for stable LED current sinking |
| 20 (VDD) | Power supply | 3–15 V CMOS supply; powers logic core and output drivers; decoupling required near pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-edge cascading outputs | QS1 (CP↑) and QS2 (CP↓) eliminate setup/hold violations in multi-device chains with varying clock slew rates |
| Wide voltage operation | 3–15 V supply supports direct interface with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 12 V LED arrays without level shifters |
| High-noise immunity | CMOS input thresholds (VIH ≥ 11 V @ 15 V, VIL ≤ 4 V @ 15 V) reject >4 V noise spikes on control lines |
| ESD robustness | HBM >2000 V and CDM >1000 V - reduces field failure risk in manual assembly and industrial handling |
| Temperature range | Specified from –40 °C to +125 °C - validated for automotive under-dash, motor drives, and outdoor signage |

FAQ
What is the maximum sink current per QPn output, and how is it affected by temperature?
Each QPn output sinks up to 40 mA continuously at Tamb = 25 °C. At +125 °C, the absolute maximum remains 40 mA, but total power dissipation must stay within 500 mW (SO20 package), derating linearly above 109 °C. Derated output current per pin at +125 °C is ~25 mA assuming uniform load distribution and proper PCB copper area.
Can QS1 and QS2 be used simultaneously in the same daisy-chain configuration?
No - QS1 and QS2 serve complementary clock-slew scenarios, not concurrent operation. QS1 is intended for fast-rising clocks (≥10 ns rise time); QS2 for slow-rising clocks (≥100 ns). Using both in one chain causes timing misalignment. Select QS1 for high-speed systems and QS2 for long traces or RC-filtered clocks.
Is a pull-up resistor required on the OE pin, and what happens if it's left floating?
Yes - OE is active-HIGH and has CMOS input structure. If left floating, leakage currents may cause indeterminate output states or oscillation. Per datasheet Section 1, unused inputs must be tied to VDD, VSS, or another driven input. Tie OE to VSS for permanent output disable or to VDD for always-enabled operation.
How does the strobe (STR) signal interact with ongoing serial shifting?
STR operates independently of CP: while CP shifts new data into the shift register, STR captures the *current* 12-bit contents into the storage latch. This allows continuous serial loading (e.g., next frame data) while holding previous data stable on outputs - enabling seamless display refresh without visible tearing or glitches.
