Product details
Overview
74CBTLV3245APWRE4 from Texas Instruments is a low-voltage octal FET bus switch in TSSOP-20 package, providing bidirectional 8-bit signal routing with 5 Ω typical on-state resistance, rail-to-rail switching, and Ioff partial-power-down support. It operates from 2.3 V to 3.6 V and enables high-speed data path isolation in enterprise computing and wired networking systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74CBTLV3245APWRE4 datasheet, 74CBTLV3245APWRE4 pinout, 74CBTLV3245APWRE4 application, or 74CBTLV3245APWRE4 equivalent, this device delivers sub-nanosecond propagation delay (0.15–0.25 ns), ±2000-V HBM ESD protection, and guaranteed high-impedance isolation during power sequencing - critical for hot-swap interfaces and mixed-voltage domain bridging.
Technical Context
The 74CBTLV3245APWRE4 implements eight independent NMOS pass-gate switches controlled by a single active-low OE input, enabling or disabling bidirectional conduction between A- and B-side I/O ports. Its rail-to-rail analog switching supports logic levels across the full supply range without level-shifting circuitry.
Designed for partial-power-down operation, the device features Ioff protection that limits backflow current to ≤40 µA when VCC = 0 V and any I/O is biased between 0–3.6 V, ensuring system-level isolation during standby or fault conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - compatible with 2.5 V and 3.3 V logic domains without external level shifters |
| ron (Typ) | 5 Ω at VCC = 2.5 V, IO = 64 mA - minimizes voltage drop and signal distortion in high-speed data paths |
| tpd | 0.15–0.25 ns - enables >1 GHz signal routing with negligible propagation delay penalty |
| Ioff | ≤40 µA at VCC = 0 V - prevents damaging back-current during power sequencing or hot-plug events |
| ESD Rating | ±2000 V HBM - meets JEDEC JESD22-A114-A for robust handling in automated assembly and field environments |
| Operating Temp | –40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial-grade deployment in datacenter and networking equipment |
| Package | TSSOP-20 (PW), 6.50 mm × 4.40 mm - surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles and IPC-7351 land patterns |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 (PW) package: 0.65 mm pitch, 6.50 mm × 4.40 mm body, 1.2 mm max height, exposed thermal pad optional per RGY/RKS variants - not present in PW variant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, NC | No-connect | Internally unconnected; may be tied to GND or left floating without functional impact |
| 2–9, A1–A8 | Data I/O (Port A) | Bidirectional signal terminals; function as inputs or outputs depending on OE state and connected load |
| 10, GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for switch current and logic control; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 11–18, B1–B8 | Data I/O (Port B) | Mirror of Port A; electrically identical and interchangeable in signal routing applications |
| 19, OE | Output Enable (active low) | Controls switch state: low = A↔B connected; high = high-impedance isolation; requires pull-up to VCC for power-up safety |
| 20, VCC | Supply voltage | Single 2.3–3.6 V rail powers all internal circuitry and defines logic threshold and ron performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Standard '245-type pinout | Enables drop-in replacement of legacy 74-series bus switches without PCB layout changes |
| Rail-to-rail switching | Supports full-swing analog or digital signals from GND to VCC without clipping or distortion |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Prevents back-current flow when VCC is off, protecting upstream drivers and downstream loads |
| 5 Ω typical on-resistance | Reduces insertion loss and timing skew in high-frequency parallel buses (e.g., address/data lines) |
| Sub-1 ns enable/disable times | ten ≤ 4.7 ns and tdis ≤ 6.4 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - suitable for dynamic bus arbitration and burst-mode control |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the 74CBTLV3245APWRE4?
The 74CBTLV3245APWRE4 is rated for operation from –40 °C to +85 °C ambient temperature when packaged in TSSOP-20 (PW). This rating applies to all electrical specifications including ron, tpd, and Ioff. The device uses the DBQ/DGV/DW/PW/RGY package group, which shares this industrial temperature grade.
Does the 74CBTLV3245APWRE4 support hot-swap operation?
Yes, the 74CBTLV3245APWRE4 supports hot-swap operation through its Ioff feature, which limits back-current to ≤40 µA when VCC = 0 V and I/O pins are biased between 0–3.6 V. This prevents damage to live backplane traces or upstream drivers during insertion, making it suitable for modular server and telecom line-card designs.
What is the recommended pull-up resistor value for the OE pin on the 74CBTLV3245APWRE4?
Texas Instruments recommends tying OE to VCC via a pull-up resistor to maintain high-impedance state during power-up. The minimum value is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driving source; for standard CMOS drivers, a 10-kΩ resistor is typical and ensures reliable deassertion while minimizing quiescent current.
Can the 74CBTLV3245APWRE4 be used for analog signal switching?
Yes, the 74CBTLV3245APWRE4 supports rail-to-rail analog switching with 5 Ω typical on-resistance and 9 pF off-state capacitance. It preserves signal integrity for low-frequency analog signals (e.g., audio, sensor outputs) and high-speed digital waveforms up to ~1 GHz, provided VIN remains within the 0–VCC range and load impedance is ≥1 kΩ.
Is the 74CBTLV3245APWRE4 pin-compatible with older 74-series bus switches?
Yes, the 74CBTLV3245APWRE4 uses the standard '245-type pinout defined in JEDEC MS-012, matching pin-for-pin with industry-standard octal bus transceivers like the 74LVC245A. This allows direct substitution in existing designs without layout modification, provided voltage and timing margins are verified.
