PinSignalFunction
1QBStored bit 1 for MSB-first transmission. Drives when /OE is LOW and goes high impedance when /OE is HIGH.
2QCStored bit 2 for MSB-first transmission. Drives when /OE is LOW and goes high impedance when /OE is HIGH.
3QDStored bit 3 for MSB-first transmission. Drives when /OE is LOW and goes high impedance when /OE is HIGH.
4QEStored bit 4 for MSB-first transmission. Drives when /OE is LOW and goes high impedance when /OE is HIGH.
5QFStored bit 5 for MSB-first transmission. Drives when /OE is LOW and goes high impedance when /OE is HIGH.
6QGStored bit 6 for MSB-first transmission. Drives when /OE is LOW and goes high impedance when /OE is HIGH.
7QHStored bit 7 for MSB-first transmission. Drives when /OE is LOW and goes high impedance when /OE is HIGH.
8GNDSupply return and reference for all signal voltages.
9QH′Serial output of the last shift stage. Remains driven when /OE is HIGH.
10/SRCLRActive-LOW asynchronous shift-register clear. The stored outputs retain their previous word until RCLK rises.
11SRCLKShift-register clock. Each rising edge loads SER and advances the existing bits one position.
12RCLKStorage-register clock. A rising edge copies the shift register to the parallel output register.
13/OEActive-LOW parallel output enable. HIGH puts QA–QH in high impedance while both registers retain their data.
14SERSerial data input, sampled on the rising edge of SRCLK.
15QAStored bit 0 for MSB-first transmission. Drives when /OE is LOW and goes high impedance when /OE is HIGH.
16VCCPositive supply. Place the bypass capacitor close to this pin and GND.

Rising SRCLK shifts data and rising RCLK copies it to the storage register. With the two clocks tied together, storage captures the pre-shift word and trails by one clock. /SRCLR clears the shift register only. Pulse RCLK after clearing to copy zeros to the storage register.

HCT electrical limits

Recommended VCC is 4.5–5.5 V at −40 to +125 °C. Voltages are referenced to GND. Inputs and outputs operate within 0 V to VCC. The clamps can conduct outside the rails.

HCT digital input thresholds

For all digital inputs over the recommended VCC range, LOW is ≤ 0.8 V and HIGH is ≥ 2.0 V. The maximum input transition time per volt is 500 ns/V. Check the host’s guaranteed output levels under its actual load. A 3.3 V signal can meet these thresholds while the SN74HCT595 runs from a 5 V supply.

HCT output levels at 4.5 V

Load magnitudeVOL maxVOH min
20 µA0.10 V 4.40 V
6 mA0.33 V 3.84 V

Limits apply at −40 to +125 °C with a valid input and the measured output driven. IOH is negative (source) and IOL is positive (sink). These are output-voltage test loads. TI lists ±35 mA per output and ±70 mA through VCC or GND as absolute stress limits. Check receiver voltage tolerance, including on QH′.

HCT clock and data timing

EventLimit
SRCLK or RCLK HIGH or LOW, /SRCLR LOW20 ns min
SER setup before SRCLK ↑25 ns min
SER hold after SRCLK ↑0 ns min
SRCLK ↑ to RCLK ↑20 ns min
/SRCLR release to SRCLK ↑12 ns min
SRCLK to QH′ propagation53 ns max

Limits at 4.5–5.5 V over −40 to +125 °C. For a shared-clock cascade, budget the 53 ns clock-to-QH′ delay, 25 ns SER setup, clock skew and margin. TI measures the 25 MHz single-device figure at 4.5 V under its switching test conditions.
