Product details
Overview
74CBTD1G125DCKRG4 from Texas Instruments is a single-channel FET bus switch with integrated level shifting, designed for bidirectional signal routing between 5-V and 3.3-V logic domains. It features 5-Ω on-state resistance, TTL-compatible OE control input, and supports 128-mA continuous channel current. Used in voltage-domain interfacing within mixed-supply digital systems such as FPGA I/O expansion and microcontroller peripheral bridging.
For engineers reviewing the 74CBTD1G125DCKRG4 datasheet, 74CBTD1G125DCKRG4 pinout, 74CBTD1G125DCKRG4 application, or 74CBTD1G125DCKRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance stability across VCC (4.5–5.5 V), sub-6 ns enable/disable timing, ESD robustness (2000-V HBM), latch-up immunity (>100 mA), and SC-70 package thermal impedance (252°C/W).
Technical Context
The 74CBTD1G125DCKRG4 implements a single NMOS transmission gate with integrated VCC-referenced diode for passive level shifting - enabling 5-V inputs to drive 3.3-V outputs without external biasing. Its OE-controlled switching operates with zero propagation delay (0.25 ns typical) and rail-to-rail analog signal pass-through capability.
It functions as a directionless, low-capacitance (3.5 pF OFF-state) signal bridge with no internal logic state retention. The device requires no power sequencing and supports hot-swap operation due to its overvoltage-tolerant I/O structure (VI = –0.5 to 7 V) and clamp-current-limited inputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5-V supply rails while maintaining stable on-resistance and timing. |
| ron (Typ) | 5 Ω at VCC = 4.5 V - enables minimal signal attenuation and voltage drop (<150 mV at 30 mA) in high-speed data paths. |
| tpd (Max) | 0.25 ns - supports >1 GHz signal integrity in short-trace interconnects without timing skew penalties. |
| ten / tdis (Max) | 5.9 ns / 4.7 ns - guarantees fast bus arbitration and dynamic enable control in burst-mode protocols. |
| Cio(OFF) | 3.5 pF - limits capacitive loading on driven nets, preserving edge rate and reducing crosstalk in dense PCB layouts. |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM - provides robust handling margin during board assembly and field-level electrostatic events. |
| Latch-Up Immunity | >100 mA per JESD 78 Class II - prevents destructive latch-up under transient overvoltage or ground-bounce conditions. |
Pinout & Package
74CBTD1G125DCKRG4 uses the SC-70 (DCK) 5-pin surface-mount package (2.15 × 1.35 × 1.1 mm), optimized for space-constrained applications requiring low thermal resistance (252°C/W) and high-density placement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OE | Output Enable control input | Active-low TTL-compatible signal; drives switch ON when low (≤0.8 V), OFF when high (≥2 V). |
| 2 - GND | Power reference ground | Return path for all internal circuitry and substrate bias; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 3 - A | Input/Output port A | Bidirectional terminal; connects to 5-V domain signals and interfaces with integrated VCC diode for level shifting. |
| 4 - B | Input/Output port B | Bidirectional terminal; delivers level-shifted output to 3.3-V domain with rail-to-rail voltage swing. |
| 5 - VCC | Positive supply | Provides operating bias and defines high-level threshold for OE; also supplies clamping diode anode for level shifting. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single FET bus switch architecture | Eliminates CMOS logic overhead and propagation delay, enabling true analog signal pass-through with <0.25 ns tpd. |
| Integrated VCC-referenced diode | Enables automatic 5-V-to-3.3-V level shifting without external components or bias networks. |
| TTL-compatible OE input | Accepts standard 5-V logic thresholds (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V), simplifying interface with legacy controllers. |
| Low off-state capacitance | 3.5 pF isolation minimizes capacitive coupling between adjacent traces and preserves signal integrity in high-speed buses. |
| Overvoltage-tolerant I/O | Supports VI up to 7 V and –0.5 V, allowing safe operation during power sequencing mismatches or hot-plug events. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT1G125DBVR | Same function but SOT-23 (DBV) package; higher thermal impedance (206°C/W) and slightly larger footprint (3.0 × 1.75 mm). | Preferred where board real estate allows larger package and higher thermal mass is acceptable. | Select SN74CBT1G125DBVR only if SC-70 placement constraints prevent use of 74CBTD1G125DCKRG4. |
| 74LVC1G125GW,125 | 3.3-V-only supply; no integrated level shifting; requires external bias for 5-V interface; lower on-resistance (3.5 Ω typical). | Suitable only in pure 3.3-V systems or when level shifting is handled externally via resistive dividers or dedicated translators. | Choose 74LVC1G125GW,125 only when VCC is strictly 3.3 V and level shifting is implemented elsewhere in the signal chain. |
Compared with SN74CBT1G125DBVR and 74LVC1G125GW,125, the 74CBTD1G125DCKRG4 uniquely combines SC-70 miniaturization, native 5-V-to-3.3-V level shifting, and 5-Ω on-resistance - making it the sole option for space-constrained, mixed-voltage bus isolation without added components or layout complexity.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating for the 74CBTD1G125DCKRG4?
The 74CBTD1G125DCKRG4 supports a continuous channel current of 128 mA, verified per Absolute Maximum Ratings in the official datasheet. This rating applies across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to 85°C) and ensures reliable conduction without thermal runaway when used within recommended VCC (4.5–5.5 V) and ambient conditions. Exceeding this current may degrade on-resistance stability or trigger thermal shutdown in sustained operation.
Does the 74CBTD1G125DCKRG4 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on the OE pin?
No, the 74CBTD1G125DCKRG4 does not require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on the OE pin. Its TTL-compatible input accepts direct connection to 5-V logic outputs, with guaranteed low-level recognition at ≤0.8 V and high-level recognition at ≥2 V. However, TI recommends tying unused control inputs to VCC or GND to prevent floating states that could cause unintended switching or increased ICC.
Can the 74CBTD1G125DCKRG4 be used for bidirectional analog signal switching?
Yes, the 74CBTD1G125DCKRG4 supports bidirectional analog signal switching due to its symmetrical NMOS FET structure and rail-to-rail voltage handling (–0.5 V to 7 V). It maintains consistent on-resistance (5–7 Ω) regardless of signal direction, making it suitable for low-frequency analog paths such as audio line-level signals or sensor outputs - provided signal amplitude remains within the device's absolute maximum voltage ratings and bandwidth limitations (~1.5 GHz small-signal cutoff).
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the 74CBTD1G125DCKRG4 in its SC-70 package?
The 74CBTD1G125DCKRG4 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 252°C/W in the SC-70 (DCK) package, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value assumes standard JEDEC test board conditions (single-layer 1-in² copper pad). Actual thermal performance improves with enhanced PCB copper area, thermal vias, or airflow - critical for applications operating near maximum ICC (1.5 mA) and continuous channel current limits.
Is the 74CBTD1G125DCKRG4 pin-compatible with other members of the SN74CBTD1Gxxx family?
Yes, the 74CBTD1G125DCKRG4 shares identical pinout and SC-70 (DCK) package dimensions with other SN74CBTD1Gxxx variants such as SN74CBTD1G384 and SN74CBTD1G32 - all featuring OE, GND, A, B, and VCC on pins 1–5 respectively. However, functional differences (e.g., inverting vs. non-inverting, bus-hold vs. switch-only) mean electrical behavior and application suitability are not interchangeable without verifying logic function and timing specifications per datasheet.
