Product details
Overview
74CBTLV3125QG8 from Renesas Electronics is a low-voltage quadruple bus switch IC with four independent 5Ω bi-directional analog switches, operating from 2.3V to 3.6V supply, featuring isolation under power-off conditions and over-voltage tolerance up to +4.6V, used in 3.3V high-speed bus switching and isolation applications in industrial embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74CBTLV3125QG8 datasheet, 74CBTLV3125QG8 pinout, 74CBTLV3125QG8 application, or 74CBTLV3125QG8 equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance (5–40Ω), propagation delay (≤0.25ns), OE-controlled enable/disable timing (tEN ≤4.6ns, tDIS ≤4.2ns), industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), and TSSOP-14 green package compatibility.
Technical Context
The 74CBTLV3125QG8 implements four independent single-pole single-throw (SPST) analog bus switches, each controlled by a dedicated active-low output-enable (OE) input. Switch conduction is bidirectional with no polarity restriction between A and B ports.
Each switch exhibits low on-resistance (5Ω typical at VCC = 2.5V, IO = 64mA), supports over-voltage tolerant I/O (−0.5V to +4.6V), and maintains high-impedance isolation when VCC = 0V or OE = HIGH, enabling hot-swap and power sequencing robustness in mixed-voltage systems.
Key Specifications

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, identical RON/tPD, but TI's version uses 14-pin TSSOP with different moisture sensitivity level (MSL3 vs MSL1) | Compatible in same PCB footprint; requires review of assembly reflow profile due to MSL difference | Select when sourcing from TI-authorized channels or requiring TI-specific qualification documentation |
| 74LVC125APW,118 | Higher RON (24Ω typ), slower tPD (3.3ns), 1.65–3.6V VCC - not over-voltage tolerant | Suitable only for lower-speed, single-supply 3.3V systems without hot-swap or mixed-voltage needs | Choose only if cost sensitivity outweighs performance and robustness requirements |
Compared with SN74CBTLV3125PWR and 74LVC125APW,118, the 74CBTLV3125QG8 delivers superior speed, lower on-resistance, and over-voltage tolerance - critical for industrial hot-swap and multi-rail interoperability where signal fidelity and power sequencing resilience are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous channel current rating for the 74CBTLV3125QG8?
The 74CBTLV3125QG8 supports a maximum continuous channel current of 128mA per switch, verified across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). This rating ensures reliable conduction for typical 3.3V CMOS/TTL bus loads without thermal derating in standard PCB layouts with adequate copper area. Exceeding this current may trigger thermal shutdown or degrade RON stability over time.
Does the 74CBTLV3125QG8 require external pull-up resistors on OE pins?
Yes - to ensure high-impedance state during power-up or power-down, each OE pin of the 74CBTLV3125QG8 must be tied to VCC via a pull-up resistor. The minimum value depends on the driver's sink capability; for standard logic drivers, 10kΩ is commonly used. Leaving OE floating risks undefined switch states and potential bus contention.
Is the 74CBTLV3125QG8 pin-compatible with the original IDT74CBTLV3125?
Yes - the 74CBTLV3125QG8 retains identical pinout, electrical specifications, and functional behavior as the original IDT74CBTLV3125, including TSSOP-14 package dimensions and terminal assignments. It is a direct Renesas-branded continuation of the IDT logic product line post-acquisition, with no changes to interface or timing.
Can the 74CBTLV3125QG8 operate with VCC = 2.3V while driving 3.3V signals on its I/O ports?
Yes - the 74CBTLV3125QG8 supports over-voltage tolerant I/O (−0.5V to +4.6V), allowing 3.3V signals to pass through even when VCC = 2.3V. However, the switch remains enabled only when OE is actively driven LOW relative to the local VCC; proper level-shifting of OE is required in mixed-supply configurations.
What is the typical on-state resistance variation across the industrial temperature range for the 74CBTLV3125QG8?
At VCC = 2.5V and IO = 64mA, RON for the 74CBTLV3125QG8 varies from 5Ω (typical) at +25°C to 7Ω (max) at −40°C and +85°C. This monotonic increase reflects silicon mobility effects and remains within specification limits, ensuring predictable timing and signal integrity across full operating conditions.
