Product details
Overview
HEF4894BTT,118 from NXP Semiconductors is a 16-bit serial-in/parallel-out shift register with latched outputs and output enable control, operating at 5 V supply, featuring 100 MHz maximum clock frequency and -40°C to +125°C industrial temperature range. It is used in LED matrix drivers and industrial I/O expansion modules where synchronized data staging and glitch-free output updates are required.
For engineers reviewing the HEF4894BTT,118 datasheet, HEF4894BTT,118 pinout, HEF4894BTT,118 application, or HEF4894BTT,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include output latch timing, serial clock tolerance, output drive capability (25 mA sink per channel), and compatibility with 3.3 V/5 V logic interfaces in real-time control systems.
Technical Context
This device implements a dual-stage shift register architecture: first stage shifts serial data in on rising CLK edges, second stage transfers registered data to latched outputs on rising STROBE. The output enable (OE) terminal allows synchronous blanking of all outputs without disturbing internal register state.
It supports cascading via QH' (serial output) and includes Schmitt-triggered inputs for noise immunity on CLK, DATA, and STROBE lines. All outputs are push-pull with symmetrical rise/fall times under 15 ns at CL = 50 pF.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5 V TTL/CMOS systems and margin against rail droop. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 100 MHz - enables high-speed data loading for real-time display refresh or fast I/O update cycles. |
| Output Drive | 25 mA sink per output - directly drives LEDs or logic inputs without external buffers in most industrial interface designs. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH = 17 ns, tPHL = 19 ns (VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF) - guarantees tight timing margins in synchronous control chains. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and factory-floor industrial environments. |
| Input Hysteresis | Typ. 0.5 V on CLK/DATA/STROBE - suppresses false triggering from EMI or slow-rising signals in noisy settings. |
Pinout & Package
HEF4894BTT,118 is housed in a 24-pin TSSOP package (4.4 mm × 7.8 mm, 0.65 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad for enhanced power dissipation in continuous LED-driving applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VCC) | Positive supply | 5 V main power input; decoupling capacitor must be placed within 5 mm for stable operation. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return path for all digital and output current; tied to thermal pad for thermal conduction. |
| 3 (DATA) | Serial data input | Schmitt-triggered; accepts 3.3 V or 5 V logic levels; sampled on rising CLK edge. |
| 4 (CLK) | Shift clock input | Rising-edge triggered; determines serial load rate; hysteresis prevents metastability. |
| 5 (STROBE) | Output latch control | Rising-edge triggered; transfers shift register contents to output latches without glitch. |
| 6–19 (Q0–Q13) | Parallel latched outputs | Push-pull, 25 mA sink capable; remain static during serial shifting when STROBE is low. |
| 20 (QH') | Serial output | Inverted serial output for daisy-chaining multiple HEF4894BTT,118 devices. |
| 21 (OE) | Output enable | Active-low; disables all outputs to high-impedance state while preserving latch contents. |
| 22–24 (Q14–Q15, NC) | Outputs / No-connect | Q14/Q15 are functional outputs; pin 24 is internally unconnected and must be left floating. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-latch architecture | Separates serial loading and output updating-enables seamless data streaming without visual flicker in LED displays. |
| High-speed 100 MHz clock | Supports >1.6 Gbps aggregate serial throughput across 16 channels, suitable for high-refresh-rate signage. |
| 25 mA output sink capability | Drives standard red/green/blue LEDs directly at full brightness without external transistors in most configurations. |
| Industrial temperature range | Validated operation from -40°C to +125°C ensures reliability in motor control enclosures and outdoor kiosks. |
| QH' daisy-chain output | Enables scalable I/O expansion using single controller line-reduces MCU GPIO count in multi-module systems. |
Applications
| LED Matrix Display Driver | Industrial PLC I/O Expander |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial-in/parallel-out shift register applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HC595DR | 8-bit output, no QH' output, lower max clock (25 MHz), no Schmitt-triggered inputs. | Limited to simpler LED indicators or low-speed I/O; unsuitable for high-refresh displays or noisy industrial environments. | Select only when 8-bit width suffices and system clock <30 MHz; requires external latch for simultaneous update. |
| 74LV165A | 8-bit parallel-in/serial-out (reverse direction), no output latches, 50 MHz max clock. | Designed for data capture-not output driving-making it incompatible for LED or actuator control roles. | Not a functional substitute; use only for input scanning, not output expansion. |
Compared with SN74HC595DR and 74LV165A, HEF4894BTT,118 uniquely combines 16-bit width, 100 MHz operation, Schmitt inputs, and true output latching-enabling single-chip solutions for demanding display and real-time control where timing integrity and noise immunity are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the function of the STROBE pin on HEF4894BTT,118?
The STROBE pin is a rising-edge-triggered control signal that transfers data from the internal shift register to the output latches. This separation ensures outputs remain stable during serial data loading, preventing glitches on connected LEDs or actuators. Its propagation delay is specified at 22 ns max (VCC = 5 V), enabling precise synchronization in time-critical applications.
Can HEF4894BTT,118 operate with a 3.3 V supply?
No-HEF4894BTT,118 is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation. Its input thresholds and output drive strength are characterized exclusively within this range. Using 3.3 V violates absolute maximum ratings and results in undefined behavior, including failure to recognize logic high inputs and insufficient output voltage swing.
Is the QH' output inverted relative to the last shift register stage?
Yes-QH' is the inverted version of Q15 (the final bit in the 16-bit shift register). This inversion is inherent to the internal gate structure and is documented in Figure 8 of the NXP HEF4894B datasheet. It enables direct connection to the DATA input of a cascaded device without external inverters.
Does HEF4894BTT,118 support hot insertion or live plugging?
No-HEF4894BTT,118 lacks hot-swap protection circuitry such as power-on reset, bus-hold, or Ioff. Applying VCC before GND, or connecting while powered, may cause latch-up or permanent damage. Board-level design must ensure proper power sequencing and avoid live insertion in field-replaceable modules.
