Product details
Overview
74CB3Q3253 from Nexperia is a dual 1-of-4 FET bus switch with integrated charge pump, functioning as a high-bandwidth analog multiplexer/demultiplexer in signal routing paths. It supports 0 V to 5 V signal switching at VCC = 3.3 V or 2.5 V, delivers 4 Ω typical ON resistance, and operates across -40 °C to +85 °C for industrial bus isolation and memory interleaving.
For engineers reviewing the 74CB3Q3253 datasheet, 74CB3Q3253 pinout, 74CB3Q3253 application, or 74CB3Q3253 equivalent, key selection criteria include overvoltage switching capability (5.5 V max switch voltage), low 3.5 pF OFF-state capacitance, 20 MHz max switching frequency, and IOFF-enabled partial power-down operation.
Technical Context
The device implements two independent single-pole, quad-throw NMOS FET switches, each controlled by active-LOW nOE and two-bit binary select (S0/S1). An internal charge pump elevates the gate drive above VCC to maintain low RON and flat RON(flat) across the full 0–5 V signal range.
Each channel supports bidirectional signal flow with TTL/CMOS-compatible control inputs, IOFF protection during partial power-down, and ESD robustness per HBM >2000 V and CDM >1000 V. Switching is fully specified from 2.3 V to 3.6 V supply, with propagation delays under 6 ns and disable times under 6.1 ns.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - enables direct interface with 2.5 V/3.3 V logic while supporting 5 V signal pass-through |
| Switch Voltage Range | 0 V to 5.5 V - allows interoperability between 3.3 V systems and legacy 5 V peripherals without level shifters |
| ON Resistance | 4 Ω (typical at VCC = 3.3 V) - minimizes insertion loss and signal attenuation in high-speed data paths |
| OFF-State Capacitance | 3.5 pF (typical) - reduces crosstalk and loading on adjacent channels during inactive states |
| Max Switching Frequency | 20 MHz - supports reliable time-division multiplexing in sensor arrays and memory address routing |
| Propagation Delay | ≤5.9 ns (VCC = 3.0–3.6 V) - ensures timing integrity in synchronous bus architectures with tight setup/hold windows |
| IOFF Leakage | ±1 μA (VCC = 0 V) - prevents back-powering and maintains isolation when upstream power rails are disabled |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP16 (SOT403-1) package: plastic thin shrink small outline, 16 leads, 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm lead pitch, surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE | Active-LOW output enable | Disables respective switch channel to high-impedance state when HIGH; enables bidirectional routing when LOW |
| S0, S1 | Binary channel select | Configures 1-of-4 path selection (L/L → B1, L/H → B2, H/L → B3, H/H → B4) per switch |
| 1A, 2A | Common I/O terminal | Shared connection point for all four switched paths in each of the two independent switch banks |
| 1B1–1B4, 2B1–2B4 | Independent I/O terminals | Four dedicated bidirectional signal ports per switch; support mixed-voltage signal routing without direction control |
| VCC | Supply voltage input | Powers internal logic and charge pump; sets operating voltage domain for control inputs and switch biasing |
| GND | Ground reference | 0 V reference for all voltage measurements, ESD discharge path, and substrate bias for NMOS pass transistors |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated charge pump | Elevates NMOS gate voltage above VCC to sustain low RON and flat RON(flat) across full 0–5 V signal swing |
| Overvoltage signal switching | Supports 0–5 V signals with VCC = 2.5 V or 3.3 V - eliminates need for external level translators in mixed-voltage systems |
| IOFF partial power-down | Blocks current flow between I/O pins when VCC = 0 V - prevents back-driving and system-level leakage during standby |
| Low OFF-state capacitance | 3.5 pF typical - minimizes capacitive coupling between inactive channels, critical for high-density PCB layouts |
| TTL/CMOS-compatible controls | Accepts 5 V or 3.3 V logic inputs directly - simplifies interface with heterogeneous controller families without buffering |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FET bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT3253PWR | No internal charge pump; RON = 6 Ω typical at VCC = 3.3 V; max switch voltage = 3.6 V | Limited to 3.3 V-only signal domains; unsuitable for 5 V peripheral interfacing | Select only when system operates exclusively at 3.3 V and cost sensitivity outweighs overvoltage flexibility |
| 74LVC1G3157GW | Single-channel 1-of-2 switch; no charge pump; RON = 5 Ω typical; max switch voltage = 5.5 V | Half the channel count; requires two devices for dual 1-of-4 functionality; higher board area | Choose when space-constrained designs need minimal footprint and only one switch bank is required |
Compared with SN74CBT3253PWR and 74LVC1G3157GW, the 74CB3Q3253 uniquely combines dual 1-of-4 topology, charge-pump-enhanced 5 V signal switching at 3.3 V VCC, and industry-leading 3.5 pF COFF - making it optimal for compact, mixed-voltage routing where channel density and signal fidelity are co-critical.

FAQ
Can the 74CB3Q3253 switch 5 V signals while powered at 2.5 V?
Yes. The internal charge pump enables full 0 V to 5 V signal switching at VCC = 2.5 V or 3.3 V, as confirmed in Section 2 of the datasheet. This eliminates external level-shifting circuitry when interfacing 3.3 V controllers with 5 V peripherals, provided switch voltage remains within the absolute maximum rating of +7.0 V.
What is the purpose of the IOFF feature?
IOFF disables current flow between I/O pins when VCC = 0 V, preventing back-powering of powered-down sections and reducing system-level leakage. Measured at ±1 μA (Section 10, Table 6), it supports safe partial power-down modes in battery-backed or hot-swap systems without requiring additional isolation components.
Does the 74CB3Q3253 support bidirectional signal flow?
Yes. All I/O terminals (1A/1B1–1B4 and 2A/2B1–2B4) are fully bidirectional with no inherent directionality. Signal routing depends solely on OE and select logic states, enabling use as either multiplexer or demultiplexer in the same physical configuration without redesign.
How does the charge pump affect power consumption?
The charge pump draws negligible additional current - total ICC remains 0.4 mA typical (Table 6) at VCC = 3.3 V. Its operation is self-contained and gated by switch activity, contributing no static overhead while delivering improved RON and RON(flat) performance essential for high-fidelity analog switching.
