Product details
Overview
74CBTLV3125PGG8 from Renesas Electronics (formerly IDT) is a low-voltage quadruple bus switch IC used for high-speed 3.3V data path control and isolation in digital systems. It features four independent bi-directional switches with 5Ω on-resistance, operates from 2.3V to 3.6V, supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and provides power-off isolation for system-level bus integrity in hot-swap and mixed-voltage environments.
For engineers reviewing the 74CBTLV3125PGG8 datasheet, 74CBTLV3125PGG8 pinout, 74CBTLV3125PGG8 application, or 74CBTLV3125PGG8 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 5Ω RON at 2.5V/3.3V, OE-controlled enable/disable timing (tEN ≤ 4.6 ns), over-voltage tolerance up to 4.6V, latch-up immunity >100 mA, and TSSOP-14 package compatibility with standard '125 logic footprints.
Technical Context
The 74CBTLV3125PGG8 implements four independent analog-style transmission gates controlled by individual active-low OE inputs. Each switch conducts bidirectionally with minimal propagation delay (tPD ≤ 0.25 ns at 3.3V) and exhibits near-zero charge injection, enabling clean signal pass-through without level-shifting.
Its power-off isolation (IOFF ≤ 50 µA at VCC = 0) and over-voltage tolerance (VI/O up to 4.6V) allow safe interfacing between powered and unpowered subsystems-critical in backplane, memory expansion, and FPGA I/O buffering applications where voltage domains coexist.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3V to 3.6V - Enables direct interface with 2.5V and 3.3V logic families without level shifters |
| RON (Typ.) | 5Ω at VCC = 3.3V, IO = 24mA - Ensures <100mV voltage drop across switch under typical load, preserving signal integrity |
| tEN/tDIS | 1–4.6 ns / 1–4.2 ns - Supports sub-5ns enable/disable transitions for high-frequency bus arbitration |
| IOFF | ≤50 µA at VCC = 0 - Guarantees true high-impedance isolation during power-down or hot-plug events |
| ESD Rating | >2000V HBM, >200V MM - Meets MIL-STD-883 requirements for robust handling in manufacturing and field deployment |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded control, telecom infrastructure, and automotive body electronics |
Pinout & Package
74CBTLV3125PGG8 is packaged in a 14-pin Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP), lead-free and RoHS-compliant. Pin numbering follows JEDEC MO-153 standard for TSSOP-14.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 | A-side data I/O | Bi-directional analog/digital signal terminals connected to one side of each switch |
| 2, 5, 11, 14 | B-side data I/O | Bi-directional analog/digital signal terminals connected to opposite side of each switch |
| 3, 6, 8, 12 | OEn (active-low) | Independent enable inputs per switch; low = connect A↔B, high = isolate |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and signal return path |
| 14 | VCC | Primary supply rail (2.3V–3.6V); powers internal logic and switch biasing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pin-out compatibility | Matches standard 74-series '125 logic footprint - enables drop-in replacement without PCB redesign |
| Bi-directional switching | 5Ω RON symmetric conduction - eliminates directionality constraints in data bus routing |
| Power-off isolation | IOFF ≤ 50 µA at VCC = 0 - prevents back-driving and leakage when upstream/downstream rails are unpowered |
| Over-voltage tolerance | VI/O rated to ±0.5V to +4.6V - allows safe operation with signals exceeding VCC, e.g., 5V-tolerant I/O in mixed-voltage systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-voltage quadruple bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTLV3125PWR | Same functional spec, TI-manufactured; RON = 5Ω typ. at 3.3V, tEN = 4.5 ns max, TSSOP-14 package | Identical pinout and DC/AC specs; differs only in manufacturer qualification and traceability documentation | Preferred for TI-centric BOMs or dual-sourcing programs requiring TI's reliability reporting |
| 74LVC1G3157GW,125 | Single-channel analog switch (not quad); RON = 10Ω typ.; smaller SC-70-6 package; lacks OE-per-channel granularity | Requires four discrete units to match channel count; higher board area and routing complexity | Only suitable when space-constrained designs accept added component count and reduced layout efficiency |
Compared with SN74CBTLV3125PWR, the 74CBTLV3125PGG8 offers identical electrical performance and pin compatibility but different supply-chain origin and lifecycle management. Against 74LVC1G3157GW,125, the 74CBTLV3125PGG8 delivers integrated quad functionality, lower RON, and per-switch OE control-reducing component count and improving timing predictability in multi-lane interfaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for 74CBTLV3125PGG8 I/O pins?
The 74CBTLV3125PGG8 supports an absolute maximum input voltage of –0.5V to +4.6V on all I/O pins, regardless of VCC level. This over-voltage tolerance allows safe interfacing with 5V signals even when VCC is set to 3.3V or 2.5V, making the 74CBTLV3125PGG8 suitable for mixed-voltage system interconnect without external protection components.
Does 74CBTLV3125PGG8 require external pull-up resistors on OE pins?
Yes - to ensure a defined high-impedance state during power-up or power-down, each OE pin of the 74CBTLV3125PGG8 should be tied to VCC via a pull-up resistor. The minimum resistance value depends on the driver's current-sinking capability; typical values range from 4.7kΩ to 10kΩ. This prevents undefined switch states that could cause bus contention before system initialization completes.
Can 74CBTLV3125PGG8 be used in hot-swap applications?
Yes - the 74CBTLV3125PGG8 is explicitly designed for hot-swap use cases. Its power-off isolation (IOFF ≤ 50 µA at VCC = 0), over-voltage tolerant I/O, and latch-up immunity (>100 mA) ensure safe insertion and removal in live backplanes or modular systems. These characteristics make the 74CBTLV3125PGG8 ideal for telecom line cards and industrial rack-mounted equipment.
What is the typical on-resistance of 74CBTLV3125PGG8 at 2.5V supply?
At VCC = 2.5V, the 74CBTLV3125PGG8 exhibits a typical on-resistance (RON) of 5Ω when tested with 64mA current and VI = 0V. This low RON minimizes voltage drop and signal distortion, supporting clean 2.5V logic signaling in high-speed data paths such as DDR memory buffers or PCI Express sideband routing.
Is 74CBTLV3125PGG8 pin-compatible with older 74LVX3125 devices?
No - while both are quadruple bus switches, the 74CBTLV3125PGG8 is pin-compatible with standard 74'125 logic devices (e.g., 74ACT125, 74LVC125), not with 74LVX3125. The 74CBTLV3125PGG8 uses a TSSOP-14 package with dedicated OE-per-channel layout, whereas 74LVX3125 typically uses SOIC-14 with shared OE. Always verify pin mapping using the official 74CBTLV3125PGG8 datasheet before substitution.
