Product details
Overview
74CBTLV16211PAG from Renesas Electronics is a low-voltage 24-bit bus switch IC operating as either a single 24-bit or dual 12-bit bi-directional switch, featuring 5Ω typical ON-resistance, <0.25 ns propagation delay, and operation across VCC = 2.3–3.6 V for high-speed 3.3V bus isolation in industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the 74CBTLV16211PAG datasheet, 74CBTLV16211PAG pinout, 74CBTLV16211PAG application, or 74CBTLV16211PAG equivalent, key selection criteria include its bi-directional switching capability, power-off isolation, over-voltage tolerance up to 4.6 V, latch-up immunity >100 mA, and TSSOP-56 package compatibility with dense PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 74CBTLV16211PAG implements two independent 12-bit bus switches controlled by active-low OE inputs (1OE and 2OE), each enabling A↔B conduction when asserted. Its CMOS-based transmission gate architecture delivers symmetric, low-capacitance signal paths with no directionality constraint.
It supports hot-swap and partial-power-down operation via isolation under VCC = 0 V (IOFF ≤ 10 µA), maintains input/output over-voltage tolerance beyond VCC (VI up to 4.6 V), and meets MIL-STD-883 ESD ratings (>2000 V HBM, >200 V MM) - critical for robustness in mixed-supply systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - enables direct interface with 2.5 V and 3.3 V logic domains without level translation |
| RON (Typ.) | 5 Ω - ensures minimal voltage drop (<128 mV at 24 mA) and preserves signal integrity on high-speed buses |
| tPD (Max) | 0.25 ns - supports >4 GHz effective switching bandwidth for PCIe Gen1/USB 2.0 data path isolation |
| IOFF (VCC = 0 V) | ≤10 µA - guarantees true high-impedance isolation during power sequencing or fault conditions |
| VI Absolute Max | –0.5 V to 4.6 V - allows safe interfacing with 5 V-tolerant peripherals while powered from 3.3 V supply |
| ESD Rating | >2000 V HBM - provides built-in protection against handling-induced transients without external TVS diodes |
| Operating Temp | –40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial-grade deployment in programmable logic controllers and motor drives |
Pinout & Package
74CBTLV16211PAG is housed in a 56-pin Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP), designated PAG56, with 0.5 mm pitch, exposed pad optional, and JEDEC MO-153 compliant footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE | Active-low output enable control | Each enables one 12-bit switch bank; must be pulled up to VCC during power-up to ensure default high-Z state |
| 1A1–1A12, 2A1–2A12 | Port A bidirectional I/O | Connects to upstream bus or controller side; electrically identical to Port B with no internal direction bias |
| 1B1–1B12, 2B1–2B12 | Port B bidirectional I/O | Connects to downstream peripheral or memory side; fully symmetrical with Port A |
| VCC, GND (×6) | Power and ground distribution | Multiple VCC/GND pins minimize IR drop and ground bounce across high-frequency switching activity |
| NC (Pin 11) | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines to avoid noise coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bi-directional 24-bit switching | Enables flexible signal routing between two 24-bit buses without direction-control logic or additional buffers |
| Power-off isolation | Maintains >10⁹ Ω off-state impedance even when VCC = 0 V, preventing back-driving of unpowered subsystems |
| Over-voltage tolerant I/O | Withstands up to 4.6 V on any I/O pin regardless of VCC level - eliminates need for external clamping in mixed-voltage systems |
| Ultra-low propagation delay | Sub-0.25 ns tPD ensures timing-critical paths (e.g., clock distribution, strobe lines) remain uncompromised |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 100 mA per JESD78 - guarantees robust operation under transient overcurrent events in industrial environments |
Applications
| Industrial Backplane Isolation | Hot-Swappable Module Interface |
|---|---|

| Low-Jitter Clock Distribution | Multi-Voltage Domain Bridging |
Use Scenario: Routing low-skew clock signals between 2.5 V and 3.3 V FPGA banks while minimizing added jitter and duty-cycle distortion. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-pole, low-RON transmission gate used as a passive clock switch with matched A/B path delays. Use Value: 5 Ω RON and <0.25 ns tPD preserve edge monotonicity and reduce deterministic jitter accumulation in synchronous timing chains. | Use Scenario: Interfacing a 3.3 V microcontroller with legacy 5 V peripherals in a factory automation HMI panel. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-shifting bus switch leveraging over-voltage tolerant I/O to safely translate signals without external resistors or translators. Use Value: VI rating up to 4.6 V allows direct connection to 5 V outputs; VCC = 3.3 V operation avoids power domain conversion overhead. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTLV16211PAG | Same pinout, identical electrical specs, TI-branded variant of same IDT-designed silicon | No functional difference; qualified for same industrial temperature range and TSSOP-56 footprint | Select based on supply chain availability and qualification history with existing TI-sourced designs |
| 74LVC16245APAG | Direction-controlled 16-bit transceiver (not bi-directional switch); requires separate DIR signal and has higher RON (~24 Ω) | Suitable only where unidirectional data flow is acceptable and board space permits extra control logic | Choose only if direction control is already present and lower cost outweighs added complexity and degraded signal integrity |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for 74CBTLV16211PAG I/O pins?
The 74CBTLV16211PAG supports an absolute maximum input voltage of –0.5 V to 4.6 V on all I/O pins, independent of VCC level. This over-voltage tolerance allows safe interfacing with 5 V peripherals while operating from a 3.3 V supply. The specification is validated per absolute maximum ratings table and confirmed in both DC electrical characteristics and functional block diagrams of the official Renesas datasheet.
Does 74CBTLV16211PAG support hot-swap operation?
Yes, the 74CBTLV16211PAG supports hot-swap operation through its power-off isolation feature: when VCC = 0 V, IOFF is guaranteed ≤10 µA, maintaining high-impedance between ports. This prevents back-driving of powered subsystems during live insertion/removal. The design also includes ESD protection (>2000 V HBM) and latch-up immunity >100 mA, making it suitable for use in hot-pluggable industrial modules.
What is the typical ON-resistance of 74CBTLV16211PAG and how does it affect signal integrity?
The 74CBTLV16211PAG has a typical ON-resistance of 5 Ω at VCC = 3.3 V and IO = 24 mA. This low RON minimizes voltage drop (<128 mV) and reduces RC time constant effects, preserving rise/fall times and reducing deterministic jitter. Measured RON remains stable across process/voltage/temperature corners, ensuring consistent signal integrity in high-speed 3.3 V bus applications such as memory expansion and FPGA interconnects.
Can 74CBTLV16211PAG be used as a single 24-bit switch or only as dual 12-bit switches?
The 74CBTLV16211PAG can operate flexibly as either a single 24-bit bus switch (by tying 1OE and 2OE together) or as two independent 12-bit switches (using separate 1OE and 2OE controls). The functional block diagram and truth table in the Renesas datasheet explicitly confirm both configurations. Pin mapping supports full 24-bit A/B port connectivity, and propagation delay is specified identically for A↔B paths regardless of configuration mode.
Is pull-up resistance required on OE pins for reliable power-up behavior of 74CBTLV16211PAG?
Yes, a pull-up resistor to VCC is recommended on both 1OE and 2OE pins to ensure high-impedance state during power-up or brown-out conditions. The datasheet states that OE should be tied to VCC through a pullup resistor to guarantee proper initialization. Typical values range from 4.7 kΩ to 10 kΩ; this prevents unintended switch activation before control logic stabilizes, avoiding bus contention or undefined states in industrial systems with asynchronous power sequencing.
