74HC595PW

Nexperia · Shifting Register · TSSOP-16

74HC595PW from Nexperia, in a TSSOP-16. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 Q1 output Parallel data output bit 1 from the storage register. 3-state; driven when OE is LOW, high-impedance when OE is HIGH. Bus driver output: sourcing/sinking up to ~6 mA at VCC = 4.5 V.
2 Q2 output Parallel data output bit 2 from the storage register. 3-state; driven when OE is LOW, high-impedance when OE is HIGH.
3 Q3 output Parallel data output bit 3 from the storage register. 3-state; driven when OE is LOW, high-impedance when OE is HIGH.
4 Q4 output Parallel data output bit 4 from the storage register. 3-state; driven when OE is LOW, high-impedance when OE is HIGH.
5 Q5 output Parallel data output bit 5 from the storage register. 3-state; driven when OE is LOW, high-impedance when OE is HIGH.
6 Q6 output Parallel data output bit 6 from the storage register. 3-state; driven when OE is LOW, high-impedance when OE is HIGH.
7 Q7 output Parallel data output bit 7 (MSB) from the storage register. 3-state; driven when OE is LOW, high-impedance when OE is HIGH.
8 GND power_in Ground reference (0 V). Connect to system ground.
9 Q7S output Serial data output from the last stage of the shift register. Used to cascade multiple 74HC595 devices by tying to the next stage's DS input. Non-3-state; drives up to ~4 mA at VCC = 4.5 V.
10 MR input Master reset input, active LOW. A LOW level asynchronously clears the shift register (does not affect the storage register/parallel outputs). Must be held HIGH during normal shift operation.
11 SHCP input Shift register clock input. Data on DS is shifted into the shift register on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of SHCP. Equivalent to the SPI SCK for the shift stage; typical max frequency ~100 MHz at VCC = 6 V.
12 STCP input Storage register clock input (latch). On the LOW-to-HIGH transition of STCP, the contents of the shift register are transferred to the storage register and appear on Q0..Q7. Commonly called the 'latch' or 'RCK' pin.
13 OE input Output enable input, active LOW. LOW enables the Q0..Q7 parallel outputs; HIGH forces Q0..Q7 to a high-impedance OFF-state. Does not affect the state of the shift or storage registers.
14 DS input Serial data input. Sampled into shift register stage 0 on the LOW-to-HIGH edge of SHCP. Equivalent to SPI MOSI for cascaded shift-register chains.
15 Q0 output Parallel data output bit 0 (LSB) from the storage register. 3-state; driven when OE is LOW, high-impedance when OE is HIGH.
16 VCC power_in Positive supply voltage. Operating range 2.0 V to 6.0 V (74HC595) / 4.5 V to 5.5 V (74HCT595). Absolute maximum 7 V. Decouple locally with a 100 nF ceramic capacitor to GND.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
74hc595pw.step 205 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
74hc595pw-etched.step 2.2 MB You want the part with 74HC595PW already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 551 faces against 255 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.
