SN74HCS594QPWRQ1

Shift Registers Overview

The SN74HCS594QPWRQ1 is an automotive-grade, 8-bit serial-in, parallel-out shift register with a D-type storage register. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V and supports ambient temperatures from -40°C to +125°C. The device features Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise rejection and balanced CMOS push-pull outputs capable of ±7.8 mA drive current at 6 V. It includes separate clocks for the shift and storage registers, direct overriding clear inputs, and a serial output for cascading.

Shift Registers FAQ

How does the device handle slow input signals?

The device incorporates Schmitt-trigger inputs, which provide hysteresis to eliminate erroneous data outputs caused by slow-edged or noisy input signals.

Can multiple devices be connected together?

Yes, the device provides a serial output (QH') that can be connected to the serial input (SER) of another device to cascade them without practical limitations on the number of units.

What happens to the registers at power-up?

At power-up, the initial state of both the shift and storage registers is unknown. An RC circuit connected to the SRCLR and RCLR pins is recommended to initialize the registers to a defined all-zero state.
