Product details
Overview
74CBTLV3244PGG8 from Renesas Electronics is a low-voltage octal bus switch with dual 4-channel bi-directional switches, 5Ω on-resistance at 3.3V, VCC range of 2.3V–3.6V, and industrial temperature operation (−40°C to +85°C), used for high-speed 3.3V bus isolation and asynchronous data bus communication.
For engineers reviewing the 74CBTLV3244PGG8 datasheet, 74CBTLV3244PGG8 pinout, 74CBTLV3244PGG8 application, or 74CBTLV3244PGG8 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional switching capability, power-off isolation, over-voltage tolerance up to 4.6V, latch-up immunity (>100mA), and TSSOP-20 package compatibility with standard '244 logic footprints.
Technical Context
The 74CBTLV3244PGG8 implements two independent 4-bit bus switch sections, each controlled by an active-low output enable (1OE, 2OE). When enabled, it provides low-impedance bidirectional conduction between Port A and Port B; when disabled, it presents high-impedance isolation with IOFF ≤ 50µA at VCC = 0V.
It operates across 2.3V–3.6V supply, supports 50pF load capacitance, achieves propagation delay ≤ 0.25ns (at 3.3V), and maintains over-voltage tolerance on I/O pins (−0.5V to +4.6V) independent of VCC, enabling safe hot-swap and mixed-voltage interface operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3V–3.6V - Enables direct integration into 2.5V/3.3V logic systems without level translation. |
| RON (Typ.) | 5Ω at 3.3V - Ensures minimal signal attenuation and <0.25ns propagation delay in high-speed buses. |
| IOFF (Max) | 50µA at VCC = 0V - Guarantees robust power-off isolation for system-level bus contention prevention. |
| Over-Voltage Tolerance | −0.5V to +4.6V on I/O - Allows safe interfacing with 5V-tolerant peripherals without external clamping. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial environments including factory automation and telecom infrastructure. |
| ESD Rating | 2000V HBM, 200V MM - Meets MIL-STD-883 requirements for handling robustness in manufacturing and field use. |
| tEN / tDIS | 1–4.5ns enable/disable - Supports nanosecond-scale bus arbitration and dynamic reconfiguration. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 (PGG20) package: 6.5mm × 4.4mm body, 0.65mm pitch, exposed pad not present, RoHS-compliant green finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | 1OE / 2OE | Active-low enable controls first/second 4-bit switch bank; must be pulled up to VCC during power sequencing. |
| 2–5, 12–15 | 1A1–1A4 / 2A1–2A4 | Port A bidirectional I/Os - connect to upstream bus or controller side. |
| 6–9, 16–18, 20 | 1B1–1B4 / 2B1–2B4 / GND | Port B bidirectional I/Os and ground - link to downstream bus or peripheral side. |
| 10, 11 | VCC / GND | Primary power and reference - decoupling capacitor required within 1cm of pins 10 and 11. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PIN-compatible with '244 logic | Direct drop-in replacement for legacy 74LS244/74HC244 in existing PCB layouts using TSSOP-20 footprint. |
| Bi-directional 5Ω switch | Enables transparent, polarity-agnostic signal routing between buses without direction control logic. |
| Power-off isolation | IOFF ≤ 50µA ensures zero current leakage between ports when VCC = 0, critical for hot-plug safety. |
| Over-voltage tolerant I/O | Withstands −0.5V to +4.6V on all A/B pins regardless of VCC state - eliminates need for external protection diodes. |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 100mA per JEDEC JESD78 - prevents destructive latch-up during transient overvoltage events. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTLV3244PWR | TI part in TSSOP-20; RON = 6Ω typical at 3.3V; identical pinout and DC specs. | Same industrial temp range and bus isolation function; minor RON variance has negligible impact on <100MHz buses. | Preferred where TI supply chain alignment or dual-sourcing is required; no layout change needed. |
| 74LVC244APW,118 | NXP part is non-bidirectional 3-state buffer (not bus switch); higher RON (~20Ω), no power-off isolation. | Suitable only for unidirectional buffering; lacks IOFF and over-voltage tolerance - requires external protection. | Select only if directionality is fixed and isolation not required; verify I/O voltage limits separately. |
Compared with SN74CBTLV3244PWR and 74LVC244APW,118, the 74CBTLV3244PGG8 uniquely delivers true bidirectional 5Ω switching with guaranteed power-off isolation and ±0.5V to +4.6V I/O tolerance - making it optimal for dynamic bus reconfiguration and mixed-voltage interconnects where signal transparency and safety are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage on the I/O pins of the 74CBTLV3244PGG8?
The 74CBTLV3244PGG8 supports an absolute maximum I/O voltage range of −0.5V to +4.6V, independent of VCC level. This over-voltage tolerance allows safe interfacing with 5V peripherals even when VCC is at 3.3V or lower, eliminating the need for external clamping diodes in mixed-voltage systems.
Does the 74CBTLV3244PGG8 require external pull-up resistors on its OE pins?
Yes - to ensure a defined high-impedance state during power-up and power-down, both 1OE and 2OE pins of the 74CBTLV3244PGG8 must be tied to VCC through external pull-up resistors. This prevents undefined switch states that could cause bus contention or excessive current draw before firmware initialization.
Can the 74CBTLV3244PGG8 be used in hot-swap applications?
Yes - the 74CBTLV3244PGG8 is explicitly designed for hot-swap use, featuring power-off isolation (IOFF ≤ 50µA), over-voltage tolerant I/Os, and latch-up immunity exceeding 100mA. These characteristics protect downstream circuitry during live insertion/removal in backplane and modular system architectures.
What is the typical on-resistance of the 74CBTLV3244PGG8 at 2.5V supply?
At VCC = 2.5V, the 74CBTLV3244PGG8 exhibits a typical on-resistance (RON) of 5Ω when VI = 0V and IO = 64mA. This low resistance ensures minimal voltage drop and signal distortion, supporting clean signal transmission in low-voltage, high-speed digital interfaces.
Is the 74CBTLV3244PGG8 pin-compatible with older 74-series logic devices?
Yes - the 74CBTLV3244PGG8 maintains pin-out compatibility with standard '244 logic devices such as 74LS244 and 74HC244 in TSSOP-20 packages. This enables drop-in upgrades to lower voltage, lower power, and higher speed operation without PCB redesign.
