Product details
Overview
M74HC4094B1R from STMicroelectronics is an 8-bit serial-in/parallel-out (SIPO) shift latch register with 3-state outputs, designed for digital control and data distribution in bus-oriented systems. It features high-speed operation (fMAX = 80 MHz typ. at VCC = 6 V), low quiescent current (ICC ≤ 4 μA at 25 °C), and wide supply range (2–6 V). Used in automotive dashboard controllers to serialize GPIO expansion from microcontrollers.
For engineers reviewing the M74HC4094B1R datasheet, M74HC4094B1R pinout, M74HC4094B1R application, or M74HC4094B1R equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, SO16/TSSOP16 package mapping, confirmed 16-pin SIPO latch behavior, real-world timing constraints (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 34 ns at 6 V), and automotive-grade alternatives with AEC-Q100 qualification status.
Technical Context
The device integrates two synchronous stages: an 8-bit shift register clocked on the rising edge of CLOCK, and a parallel latch triggered by the falling edge of STROBE. Serial output QS feeds cascaded devices, while QS′ provides phase-aligned data on the subsequent clock falling edge - enabling precise multi-chip synchronization without external delay compensation.
All inputs include ESD protection (HBM: 2 kV, CDM: 1 kV), and outputs deliver symmetrical drive strength (|IOH| = IOL ≥ 4 mA at VCC = 4.5 V), supporting direct connection to 50-pF loads with tTLH/tTHL ≤ 13 ns (6 V). The 3-state output buffer is enabled by OE high, allowing bus sharing in multiplexed architectures.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2 V to 6 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing (e.g., 3.3 V MCU driving 5 V peripherals) |
| fMAX | 80 MHz (typ. at VCC = 6 V) - enables high-throughput LED matrix scanning or sensor data aggregation |
| tPLH/tPHL (CLOCK→Qn) | 34 ns max at VCC = 6 V - ensures deterministic setup for downstream logic sampling |
| IOZ (High-Z Leakage) | ±10 μA max at -55 to +125 °C - guarantees signal integrity during bus contention or power-down states |
| Output Drive | ≥4 mA sink/source at VCC = 4.5 V - directly drives LEDs or TTL-level inputs without external buffers |
| ESD Rating | HBM: 2 kV, CDM: 1 kV - meets industrial handling requirements per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 |
Pinout & Package
Available in SO16 (standard) and TSSOP16 (space-constrained) packages. Both are 16-pin surface-mount devices with 1.27 mm (SO16) or 0.65 mm (TSSOP16) pitch; RoHS-compliant and ECOPACK® certified.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (STROBE) | Latch enable input | Falling-edge-triggered - captures shift register contents into parallel outputs; held high for transparent latch mode |
| 2 (SERIAL IN) | Serial data input | Accepts CMOS-level serial stream synchronized to CLOCK rising edge; no internal pull-up/down |
| 3 (CLOCK) | Shift clock input | Rising-edge active - advances data through all 8 stages; QS reflects Q8 after each rising edge |
| 4–7, 11–14 (Q1–Q7) | Parallel output terminals | Active-high buffered outputs; Q1 = MSB of latched data, Q7 = LSB; 3-state controlled by OE |
| 9, 10 (QS, QS′) | Cascadable serial outputs | QS = Q8 shifted out on CLOCK↑; QS′ = same data delayed by one CLOCK↓ - enables glitch-free daisy-chaining |
| 15 (OE) | Output enable | Active-high - enables 3-state outputs; OE low forces all Qx, QS, QS′ into high-impedance state |
| 8 (GND), 16 (VCC) | Power terminals | Decoupling required within 10 mm of pins; VCC must be stable ±5 % for specified AC performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 8-bit SIPO + latch architecture | Enables single-MCU control of 8+ external devices (e.g., LED drivers, relays) via 3-wire interface (CLOCK, SI, STROBE) |
| QS/QS′ dual serial outputs | Eliminates need for external delay elements when cascading >2 devices - maintains timing alignment across chains |
| 3-state parallel outputs | Allows direct connection to shared data buses (e.g., 8-bit microcontroller address/data lines) without external isolation |
| Wide temperature range | -55 °C to +125 °C operation - qualified for under-hood automotive modules and industrial PLC backplanes |
| Low ICC quiescent current | ≤4 μA at 25 °C - extends battery life in always-on remote sensors or portable diagnostic tools |
Applications
| Automotive Dashboard Control | Industrial I/O Expansion |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving 8-segment LED displays and backlight controls in instrument clusters using a single SPI-capable MCU GPIO. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: SIPO latch converts serialized MCU output into parallel signals for display driver ICs; QS′ synchronizes refresh timing across multiple display zones. Use Value: Reduces MCU pin count by 5+ versus direct GPIO control; eliminates software bit-banging overhead for display updates. |
Use Scenario: Adding 8 digital outputs to a PLC base unit for controlling solenoid valves in packaging machinery. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as output expander between controller FPGA and valve drivers; STROBE latches commands before power-cycle events. Use Value: Enables hot-swap-safe I/O staging - outputs retain last state until new data arrives, preventing unintended actuation. |
| Consumer Appliance UI Panel | Medical Device Status Indication |
|
Use Scenario: Controlling 8 indicator LEDs and 3 tactile feedback buzzers on a smart oven control panel. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shift register serially accepts UI state updates; latch stage freezes display state during touch-interrupt processing. Use Value: Isolates UI rendering from real-time cooking control tasks - prevents visual flicker during sensor sampling bursts. |
Use Scenario: Driving fault-status LEDs on a portable infusion pump where visual alerts must remain visible during MCU sleep modes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Latched outputs maintain LED states independent of MCU activity; OE allows centralized brightness dimming via PWM. Use Value: Guarantees fail-safe status visibility even during brown-out recovery or firmware update pauses. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit SIPO latch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HC595DR | Single-stage shift register only (no separate latch); OE tied to GND for permanent output enable | Lacks STROBE-controlled latching - unsuitable for applications requiring hold-and-update behavior (e.g., display freeze during interrupt) | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for independent latch control; verify timing margins for cascaded use. |
| M74HC595YRM13TR | AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 1: -40/+125 °C); identical pinout but no QS′ output - only QS available for chaining | Valid for automotive use cases but requires external delay or logic to replicate QS′ timing in multi-device chains | Choose for AEC-Q100 compliance where QS′ phase alignment is not critical; reduces BOM count in qualified designs. |
Compared with SN74HC595DR and M74HC595YRM13TR, M74HC4094B1R uniquely provides dual-phase serial outputs (QS/QS′) and independent latch control - essential for glitch-free daisy-chaining and interrupt-safe display retention in safety-critical UIs.

FAQ
Can M74HC4094B1R operate at 3.3 V supply?
Yes - it supports VCC from 2 V to 6 V, with guaranteed AC performance down to 2 V. At 3.3 V, fMAX is 30 MHz (min.), tPLH/tPHL ≤ 50 ns, and output drive ≥2.6 mA, making it compatible with 3.3 V microcontrollers without level-shifting.
What is the function of the QS′ pin?
QS′ outputs the same data as QS but delayed by one falling edge of CLOCK. This allows cascaded devices to sample QS from the upstream chip on the same clock edge that clocks their own shift register - eliminating inter-stage skew in long chains.
Is M74HC4094B1R pin-compatible with older 74HC4094 variants?
Yes - it maintains identical pinout, logic function, and DC/AC specifications with legacy 74HC4094 devices. The 'B1R' suffix denotes ST's current production revision with enhanced ESD robustness (CDM: 1 kV) and tighter propagation delay matching.
How does STROBE differ from CLOCK in operation?
CLOCK shifts data serially through the 8-bit register on each rising edge; STROBE transfers the current register contents to the output latch on its falling edge. This separation allows asynchronous latching - e.g., capturing data mid-shift for partial updates or safe state transitions.
