74HC595M

HGSEMI · Shifting Register · SOP-16

74HC595M from HGSEMI, in a SOP-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 QB tri_state Parallel data output bit B. Tri-state; enabled when /G is low, high-Z when /G is high. Reflects the stored value in the output storage register.
2 QC tri_state Parallel data output bit C. Tri-state; enabled when /G is low, high-Z when /G is high.
3 QD tri_state Parallel data output bit D. Tri-state; enabled when /G is low, high-Z when /G is high.
4 QE tri_state Parallel data output bit E. Tri-state; enabled when /G is low, high-Z when /G is high.
5 QF tri_state Parallel data output bit F. Tri-state; enabled when /G is low, high-Z when /G is high.
6 QG tri_state Parallel data output bit G. Tri-state; enabled when /G is low, high-Z when /G is high.
7 QH tri_state Parallel data output bit H (MSB of the 8-bit storage register). Tri-state; enabled when /G is low, high-Z when /G is high.
8 GND power_in Ground reference (0 V). Return for VCC.
9 Q'H output Serial data output from the last stage (QH) of the shift register. Used to cascade multiple 74HC595 devices to form an 8n-bit shift register. Not tri-stated by /G.
10 /SCLR input Active-low shift register clear. When held low, the 8-bit shift register is asynchronously reset to zero. Must be held high for normal shift operation.
11 SCK input Shift register clock. Serial data on SER is sampled and shifted through the 8-bit register on the rising edge of SCK. Maximum frequency 10 MHz (typ, VCC=5V).
12 RCK input Storage (latch) register clock. On the rising edge of RCK, the current contents of the shift register are transferred to the 8-bit output storage register and appear at QA..QH.
13 /G input Active-low output enable for the parallel outputs QA..QH. When low, outputs are driven; when high, QA..QH are placed in high-impedance (tri-state). Does not affect Q'H or the internal registers.
14 SER input Serial data input. The logic level on SER is loaded into the first stage of the shift register on the rising edge of SCK.
15 QA tri_state Parallel data output bit A (LSB of the 8-bit storage register). Tri-state; enabled when /G is low, high-Z when /G is high.
16 VCC power_in Positive supply voltage. Operating range 3.2 V to 6 V (typ 5 V); absolute max 6.5 V. Bypass with a local 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor to GND.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
74hc595m.step 217 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
74hc595m-etched.step 2.1 MB You want the part with 74HC595M already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 527 faces against 267 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.
