Product details
Overview
74CB3Q3305DCURE4 from Texas Instruments is a dual 1-bit FET bus switch optimized for high-bandwidth signal routing in 2.5-V/3.3-V systems, featuring 3 Ω typical ON-state resistance, 5-V tolerant I/Os (operating or powered down), and rail-to-rail 0–5-V switching with 3.3-V VCC - deployed in optical networking and USB differential interface isolation.
For engineers reviewing the 74CB3Q3305DCURE4 datasheet, 74CB3Q3305DCURE4 pinout, 74CB3Q3305DCURE4 application, or 74CB3Q3305DCURE4 equivalent, this page delivers verified functional modes, real-world timing behavior (0.15 ns propagation delay at 3.3 V), IOFF-enabled partial-power-down support, and validated alternatives for bus isolation upgrades in broadband communications hardware.
Technical Context
The 74CB3Q3305DCURE4 implements two independent bidirectional 1-bit switches, each controlled by dedicated OE inputs (1OE, 2OE), enabling discrete channel enable/disable without affecting the other path. Its charge-pump gate drive ensures flat ron across voltage and temperature, supporting rail-to-rail analog/digital signal pass-through with near-zero propagation delay.
Each switch supports 5-V tolerant I/Os regardless of VCC state (2.3–3.6 V), and features IOFF circuitry that blocks current backflow during partial power-down - critical for hot-swap and mixed-voltage system interoperability. The device operates up to 500 MHz small-signal bandwidth with 3.5 pF typical OFF-state I/O capacitance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - enables compatibility with both 2.5-V and 3.3-V logic domains without level shifters. |
| ron (Typical) | 3 Ω - ensures minimal insertion loss and signal distortion for high-speed data paths up to 500 MHz. |
| I/O Capacitance (OFF) | 3.5 pF typical - reduces capacitive loading on buses, preserving signal integrity in dense PCB layouts. |
| Propagation Delay | 0.15 ns at 3.3 V - enables sub-nanosecond timing-critical switching in USB and optical module control paths. |
| Switching Frequency (fOE) | 20 MHz maximum - supports fast enable/disable cycling for dynamic bus arbitration in networking equipment. |
| IOFF Current | 1 µA at VCC = 0 - guarantees robust isolation and zero backfeed during system power sequencing. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | 2000 V - meets industrial-grade handling requirements without external protection diodes. |
Pinout & Package
VSSOP-8 package (2.00 mm × 3.10 mm body size, 0.5-mm pitch), thin-profile surface-mount design optimized for space-constrained optical modules and high-density telecom PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE | Channel 1 output enable input | Active-high control: drives associated switch ON (A↔B connected) when high; high-impedance isolation when low. |
| 1A / 1B | Bidirectional data ports for channel 1 | Passes signals in either direction with <3 Ω ron; supports 0–5 V signaling regardless of VCC state. |
| 2OE | Channel 2 output enable input | Independent enable for second switch - allows asynchronous control of dual isolated data paths. |
| 2A / 2B | Bidirectional data ports for channel 2 | Electrically identical to 1A/1B; no crosstalk between channels per datasheet characterization. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for all internal circuitry; must be low-inductance connection for stable charge-pump operation. |
| VCC | Power supply | Supplies internal charge pump and logic; powers I/O buffers - tolerant of 2.3–3.6 V range with full functionality. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Charge-pump gate drive | Maintains flat 3 Ω ron across full VCC (2.3–3.6 V) and temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), eliminating signal-dependent attenuation. |
| 5-V tolerant I/Os | Allows direct interfacing with 5-V peripherals (e.g., legacy USB PHYs or optical transceivers) while powered from 2.5-V or 3.3-V rails - no external level shifters required. |
| IOFF partial-power-down | Prevents damaging current flow from live 5-V buses into unpowered sections - essential for hot-plug optical modules and modular PBX systems. |
| Rail-to-rail analog switching | Supports 0–5 V analog/digital signals with 3.3-V VCC, enabling use in video-over-fiber bias control and EPON burst-mode receiver signal routing. |
| Low 3.5 pF OFF-state capacitance | Minimizes stub effects and reflections on high-speed traces - critical for maintaining >1 Gbps eye diagrams in WiMAX baseband interfaces. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CB3Q3244PWR | Octal non-inverting bus switch (8-bit), higher channel count but no independent OE per pair; ron = 4 Ω typical. | Suitable for wide-data-bus isolation (e.g., memory expansion), not optimal for dual independent signal routing. | Select when consolidating multiple 74CB3Q3305DCURE4 functions onto one IC - requires PCB redesign due to TSSOP-20 footprint and different pinout. |
| 74LVC1G3157DP,125 | Single SPDT analog switch, 5-V tolerant, ron = 5 Ω typical, no charge pump - higher ron variation vs. voltage. | Applicable for single-path selection (e.g., sensor multiplexing), lacks dual independent control and 500 MHz bandwidth. | Choose for cost-sensitive, low-pin-count designs where 0.15 ns delay and flat ron are non-critical - uses smaller XSON-6 package. |
Compared with SN74CB3Q3244PWR and 74LVC1G3157DP,125, the 74CB3Q3305DCURE4 uniquely delivers dual independent OE control, 3 Ω flat ron, and 500 MHz bandwidth in an 8-pin VSSOP - making it irreplaceable for applications requiring precise, low-distortion, asynchronous dual-channel signal routing in optical and USB infrastructure.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the 74CB3Q3305DCURE4?
The 74CB3Q3305DCURE4 supports a high-bandwidth data path up to 500 MHz, as confirmed in the TI datasheet SCDS141C. This applies to small-signal AC performance under recommended conditions (VCC = 3.3 V, TA = 25°C). Real-world usable frequency depends on layout parasitics and load capacitance - the 0.15 ns propagation delay and 3.5 pF OFF-state capacitance make it suitable for 480 Mbps USB 2.0 and EPON 1.25 Gbps burst-mode applications. The 74CB3Q3305DCURE4 does not specify a guaranteed minimum frequency.
Does the 74CB3Q3305DCURE4 support partial power-down operation?
Yes, the 74CB3Q3305DCURE4 fully supports partial-power-down via its IOFF circuitry. When VCC = 0 V, the device blocks current backflow from live 5-V I/Os into the unpowered section, limiting IOFF to 1 µA maximum. This feature is explicitly validated in the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table and enables safe hot-swap operation in optical modules and modular PBX systems - a key differentiator from standard CMOS switches.
What is the ON-state resistance (ron) specification for the 74CB3Q3305DCURE4?
The 74CB3Q3305DCURE4 has a typical ON-state resistance of 3 Ω, measured at VCC = 3.3 V, IO = 30 mA, and TA = 25°C. This value remains flat across the full operating voltage (2.3–3.6 V) and temperature (–40°C to +85°C) ranges due to its integrated charge pump. The datasheet specifies ron ≤ 8 Ω maximum under worst-case conditions - critical for minimizing insertion loss in high-speed data paths routed through the 74CB3Q3305DCURE4.
Can the 74CB3Q3305DCURE4 interface between 3.3-V and 5-V systems?
Yes, the 74CB3Q3305DCURE4 provides true 5-V tolerant I/Os - meaning its A/B ports accept 0–5.5 V signals regardless of whether VCC is powered (2.3–3.6 V) or unpowered (0 V). This capability is explicitly tested and guaranteed per the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Recommended Operating Conditions tables in the TI datasheet. It eliminates external level shifters in mixed-voltage designs such as USB 2.0 PHY interfacing or EPON optical driver control - a core function of the 74CB3Q3305DCURE4.
What package type is used for the 74CB3Q3305DCURE4?
The 74CB3Q3305DCURE4 uses the VSSOP-8 package (package drawing DCU), with nominal body dimensions of 2.00 mm × 3.10 mm and 0.5-mm lead pitch. This ultra-thin, space-efficient package is optimized for high-density applications like optical transceivers and compact IP phone PCBs. Pin 1 identification is marked in the top-left corner per JEDEC MO-178 standards, and the device is RoHS-compliant with green (Pb-free, Sb/Br-free) finish per TI's packaging addendum.
