Product details
Overview
74CBTD16211DGGRG4 from Texas Instruments is a 24-bit FET bus switch with integrated level shifting, designed for bidirectional 5-V-to-3.3-V signal translation between TTL-compatible buses. It features dual 12-bit independent channels, 5 Ω typical on-state resistance, sub-nanosecond propagation delay (0.25 ns), and operates across –40°C to 85°C. It serves in high-speed memory and peripheral interconnects where voltage domain bridging is required.
For engineers reviewing the 74CBTD16211DGGRG4 datasheet, 74CBTD16211DGGRG4 pinout, 74CBTD16211DGGRG4 application, or 74CBTD16211DGGRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual OE-controlled 12-bit switching architecture, guaranteed 5 Ω ron at 4.5 V VCC, level-shifting diode integration, and TSSOP-56 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 74CBTD16211DGGRG4 implements two independent 12-bit FET-based transmission gates, each controlled by a dedicated output-enable (OE) input. Its internal diode-to-VCC structure enables passive level shifting from 5-V inputs to 3.3-V outputs without external components.
It operates strictly as a passive analog switch - no internal logic, latching, or direction control - with rail-to-rail signal pass-through when enabled and true high-impedance isolation when disabled. Propagation delay is governed by the RC time constant of ron (~5 Ω) and load capacitance (50 pF typical), yielding ≤0.25 ns tpd.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5-V TTL systems and stable operation under supply variation. |
| On-State Resistance (ron) | 5 Ω typical at VCC = 4.5 V - minimizes voltage drop and signal distortion for 128 mA max channel current. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 0.25 ns max (CL = 50 pF) - supports >1 GHz signal bandwidth in point-to-point or stubbed bus topologies. |
| Enable/Disable Time (ten/tdis) | 1.5 ns to 9.8 ns - ensures fast, glitch-free bus arbitration in multiplexed memory or I/O expansion paths. |
| Input Voltage Range (VI) | –0.5 V to 7 V - accommodates overvoltage transients and mixed-voltage interface margins without damage. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded systems including communications infrastructure and industrial controllers. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-56 (DGG) package: 12.0 mm × 6.1 mm × 1.2 mm body, 0.5 mm pitch, lead-free CU-NiPdAu finish, JEDEC MO-153 compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1 (260°C peak reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A1–1A12, 2A1–2A12 | Channel A-side inputs/outputs | First and second 12-bit data ports - bidirectional, no polarity constraint; connect to source-side 5-V logic. |
| 1B1–1B12, 2B1–2B12 | Channel B-side inputs/outputs | Corresponding 12-bit sink-side ports - receive level-shifted 3.3-V signals; electrically isolated from A-side when OE high. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Independent channel enable | Active-low controls - each enables/disables its associated 12-bit path; allows asymmetric bus gating for power-aware partitioning. |
| VCC | Supply reference | 5-V rail powering internal diodes and switch bias - sets output high-level ceiling and defines ron performance. |
| GND (Pins 8, 23, 39, 54) | Ground reference | Four dedicated ground pins minimize ground bounce and ensure stable return paths for all 24 channels. |
| NC (Pins 1, 56) | No internal connection | Unbonded pads - must remain unconnected; no routing or thermal relief required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent 12-bit bus switches | Enables flexible system partitioning - e.g., one channel for address/data separation, second for control/status lines - without cross-talk or shared timing constraints. |
| Integrated level-shifting diodes | Eliminates need for external clamping diodes or resistive dividers when interfacing 5-V microcontrollers to 3.3-V FPGAs or memory devices. |
| 5 Ω typical on-resistance | Preserves signal integrity for fast edges (≤1 ns rise/fall) and reduces insertion loss in high-frequency parallel buses up to 200 MHz. |
| Sub-nanosecond propagation delay | Supports timing-critical applications such as synchronous SRAM interfaces and legacy PCI-X sideband signal routing. |
| TTL-compatible control inputs | Accepts standard 0.8 V / 2.0 V logic thresholds - simplifies direct connection to 5-V CPLDs, microcontrollers, and ASICs without level translators on OE lines. |
Applications
| Memory Interfacing | Peripheral Expansion |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Connecting a 5-V microcontroller to 3.3-V SRAM or Flash memory with parallel address/data bus.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FET bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT16212DGGR | 16-bit (not 24-bit); identical ron, tpd, and level-shifting capability; same TSSOP-56 footprint but fewer channels. | Suitable only for narrower data paths; requires two devices for full 24-bit coverage - increases layout area and supply current. | Select when 16-bit width suffices and channel count reduction lowers cost or simplifies routing. |
| SN74LVC16245ADGGR | 3.3-V CMOS transceiver with direction control; no built-in level shifting; requires external 5-V pull-ups or separate translator for 5-V interface. | Provides directionality and 3-state control but adds complexity for level translation; higher static current (1.5 mA vs. 1.5 mA ICC, but ∆ICC adds 2.5 mA per active input). | Choose when bidirectional flow control is needed and 5-V compatibility can be managed externally - not a drop-in replacement. |
Compared with SN74CBT16212DGGR and SN74LVC16245ADGGR, the 74CBTD16211DGGRG4 uniquely delivers native 24-bit width with integrated 5-V-to-3.3-V translation in a single TSSOP-56 device, eliminating channel splitting or external diode networks required by alternatives.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current per channel for the 74CBTD16211DGGRG4?
The 74CBTD16211DGGRG4 supports a maximum continuous channel current of 128 mA per switched path. This rating is specified under absolute maximum conditions and ensures reliable conduction without thermal runaway when operated within the recommended VCC range (4.5 V to 5.5 V) and ambient temperature limits (–40°C to 85°C). Exceeding this current may degrade ron stability or accelerate wear-out.
Does the 74CBTD16211DGGRG4 require external pull-up resistors for level shifting?
No, the 74CBTD16211DGGRG4 does not require external pull-up resistors for level shifting. It integrates internal diodes to VCC that enable passive 5-V-to-3.3-V translation on the B-side outputs. When a 5-V signal is applied to an A-pin, the diode clamps the B-pin to approximately VCC – 0.7 V (≈4.3 V), and with appropriate loading, the output settles near 3.3 V - confirmed in TI's application notes for this device family.
Can the 74CBTD16211DGGRG4 be used in a 3.3-V-only system?
No - the 74CBTD16211DGGRG4 requires a 5-V VCC supply (4.5 V to 5.5 V) to function correctly. Its internal level-shifting diodes and FET biasing depend on this rail. Operating it at 3.3 V will result in undefined ron, failure to enable switching, and potential violation of input voltage thresholds. For 3.3-V-only systems, consider TI's LVC-series transceivers instead.
How many ground pins does the 74CBTD16211DGGRG4 have, and why are they distributed?
The 74CBTD16211DGGRG4 has four dedicated ground pins (Pins 8, 23, 39, and 54) placed symmetrically across the TSSOP-56 package. This distribution minimizes ground loop inductance and voltage bounce across the 24-channel array, ensuring consistent ron and timing behavior - especially critical for simultaneous switching of multiple bits in memory or data bus applications.
Is the 74CBTD16211DGGRG4 pin-compatible with other members of the SN74CBTD16xxx family?
Yes - the 74CBTD16211DGGRG4 shares the same TSSOP-56 (DGG) pinout and electrical characteristics with SN74CBTD16210 and SN74CBTD16212 in the same package variant. However, functional differences exist: the 16210 is a 20-bit switch, and the 16212 is a 16-bit switch with identical OE architecture. Pin compatibility enables footprint reuse but requires verification of channel count and OE mapping in the target design.
