3 Description

The SN74LV8T594-Q1 device contains an 8-bit,

serial-in, parallel-out shift register. Each parallel

output of the shift register is fed through a storage

register before reaching the primary device outputs

(QA through QH). Separate clocks (SRCLK and

RCLK) and direct overriding clear (SRCLR and

RCLR) inputs are provided for both the shift and

storage registers, allowing for loading data separately

from sending it to the outputs. Additionally, the last

output of the internal shift register is sent directly

to the output QH' providing a method to daisy-chain

multiple shift registers.

The input is designed with a reduced threshold circuit

to support up translation when the supply voltage

is larger than the input voltage. Additionally, the 5V

tolerant input pins enable down translation when the

input voltage is larger than the supply voltage. The

output level is always referenced to the supply voltage

(VCC) and supports 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V CMOS

levels.
