Product details
Overview
SN74LV595AQPWRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade 8-bit serial-in, parallel-out shift register with 3-state output registers, operating from 2 V to 5.5 V, featuring separate SRCLK and RCLK clocks, direct SRCLR input, and Ioff partial-power-down support. It drives LED matrices and 7-segment displays in vehicle infotainment and instrument cluster interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LV595AQPWRQ1 datasheet, SN74LV595AQPWRQ1 pinout, SN74LV595AQPWRQ1 application, or SN74LV595AQPWRQ1 equivalent, key selection factors include its AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification (–40°C to +125°C), wettable-flank TSSOP-16 package, 3-state output enable control, and cascading serial output (QH′) for multi-device daisy-chaining.
Technical Context
The SN74LV595AQPWRQ1 integrates two synchronous logic stages: a positive-edge-triggered 8-bit shift register accepting serial data via SER and clocked by SRCLK, and an independent 8-bit D-type storage register loaded on RCLK's rising edge. Its dual-clock architecture enables precise timing separation between data shifting and output latching.
Output control is implemented through an active-low OE input that places QA–QH into high-impedance while leaving QH′ functional - enabling seamless serial cascade without external gating. The device employs balanced CMOS 3-state outputs with ±8 mA drive at 3.3 V and supports mixed-voltage I/O with 5-V-tolerant inputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2 V to 5.5 V - supports direct interface with 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for under-hood and dashboard applications. |
| Max Output Drive | ±8 mA at VCC = 3.3 V - sufficient for direct LED segment driving with current-limiting resistors. |
| Propagation Delay | 7.9 ns (tPLH, RCLK→QA–QH, VCC = 3.3 V) - enables >50 MHz operation in buffered cascaded configurations. |
| Ioff Current | ≤10 µA at VCC = 0 V - prevents backflow during hot-swap or partial power-down in modular ECUs. |
| ESD Rating | HBM ±2000 V - meets automotive system-level ESD robustness requirements per ISO 10605. |
| Package | TSSOP-16 (PW), 5.00 mm × 4.40 mm - surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles and AOI inspection. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LV595AQPWRQ1 is packaged in a 16-pin TSSOP (PW) with wettable flanks for automated optical inspection. Thermal pad is not present - unlike the WBQB variant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 8) | Power reference | Primary ground return path; must be low-impedance for noise immunity in automotive environments. |
| VCC (Pin 16) | Supply input | 2–5.5 V main supply; decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm for transient suppression. |
| SER (Pin 14) | Serial data input | Accepts LSB-first or MSB-first bitstream; 5-V-tolerant for interfacing with higher-voltage controllers. |
| SRCLK (Pin 11) | Shift register clock | Positive-edge-triggered; controls bit advancement through shift register only - no effect on outputs. |
| RCLK (Pin 12) | Storage register clock | Positive-edge-triggered; latches all 8 bits from shift register to QA–QH outputs simultaneously. |
| SRCLR (Pin 10) | Asynchronous clear | Active-low; resets shift register to all zeros regardless of clock state - critical for deterministic startup. |
| OE (Pin 13) | Output enable | Active-high; disables QA–QH (high-Z) but leaves QH′ functional for daisy-chain continuity. |
| QH′ (Pin 9) | Serial output | Inverted output of QH; enables cascading to next SN74LV595AQPWRQ1 without external inverters. |
| QA–QH (Pins 15,1,2,3,4,5,6,7) | Parallel outputs | CMOS 3-state outputs; individually controllable via OE - supports dynamic bus sharing in multiplexed displays. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient - suitable for engine control, ADAS sensor hubs, and HVAC modules. |
| Wettable flank TSSOP package | Enhanced side-fillet formation enables reliable automated optical inspection (AOI) in high-volume automotive PCB assembly. |
| Independent shift/storage clocks | Eliminates need for clock domain synchronization logic - simplifies microcontroller firmware for real-time display updates. |
| Ioff partial-power-down protection | Prevents damaging current flow when VCC is unpowered but I/O lines remain active - essential for modular ECU hot-swap designs. |
| QH′ serial output | Provides inverted cascade output without external logic - reduces BOM count and board space in multi-digit LED driver stacks. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shift register applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HC595QPWRQ1 | Higher VCC max (6 V), slower propagation (18 ns @ 3.3 V), no Ioff, non-wettable TSSOP | Limited to ≤85°C ambient; unsuitable for under-hood use or partial-power-down systems | Choose only if legacy HC logic compatibility is required and temperature range is constrained to cabin-only locations. |
| MC74LVX164DR2G | 8-bit shift register only - no storage register or 3-state outputs; SOIC-14 package | Requires external latch and buffer for parallel output; no OE control or cascade QH′ | Select when minimal footprint and lowest cost are prioritized over output flexibility and automotive qualification. |
Compared with SN74HC595QPWRQ1 and MC74LVX164DR2G, the SN74LV595AQPWRQ1 uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 1 operation, integrated storage+3-state outputs, wettable-flank packaging, and Ioff - making it the only option qualified for safety-critical, thermally demanding, and modular automotive subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74LV595AQPWRQ1 at 3.3 V?
The SN74LV595AQPWRQ1 supports a maximum clock frequency of 105 MHz for SRCLK and RCLK at VCC = 3.3 V and TA = 25°C, with guaranteed minimum fmax of 50 MHz across the full –40°C to +125°C operating range. This allows high-speed LED refresh rates and responsive I/O updates in real-time automotive applications.
Does SN74LV595AQPWRQ1 require external pull-up resistors on its control inputs?
Yes - to ensure defined logic states during power-up and prevent floating inputs, OE, SRCLR, SRCLK, and RCLK should each be pulled to VCC or GND via 10-kΩ resistors. The SN74LV595AQPWRQ1 has no internal weak pull-ups; uncontrolled inputs risk metastability, excessive current draw, or unintended output behavior.
Can SN74LV595AQPWRQ1 drive LEDs directly without current-limiting resistors?
No - SN74LV595AQPWRQ1 outputs must always be used with external current-limiting resistors. While its ±8 mA drive capability at 3.3 V is sufficient for typical indicator LEDs, omitting resistors risks exceeding absolute maximum output current (±35 mA) and causing permanent damage or thermal shutdown.
How does the QH′ pin function in SN74LV595AQPWRQ1 cascading configurations?
The QH′ pin provides the inverted value of QH and serves as the serial output for daisy-chaining. When cascading multiple SN74LV595AQPWRQ1 devices, QH′ of the first stage connects directly to SER of the second stage - eliminating the need for external inverters and preserving signal integrity across long traces in automotive harnesses.
Is SN74LV595AQPWRQ1 pin-compatible with standard SN74LV595A commercial variants?
Yes - SN74LV595AQPWRQ1 shares identical pinout, electrical behavior, and functional block diagram with the commercial SN74LV595APWR, differing only in AEC-Q100 qualification, extended temperature rating (–40°C to +125°C), and wettable-flank TSSOP packaging. No PCB redesign is needed when upgrading from commercial to automotive grade.
