Product details
Overview
74CBTLV3245APWRG4 from Texas Instruments is a low-voltage octal FET bus switch in TSSOP-20 package, providing bidirectional 8-bit signal routing with 5 Ω on-state resistance, rail-to-rail switching, and Ioff partial-power-down support. It operates from 2.3 V to 3.6 V and is used for high-speed data path isolation in enterprise computing and wired networking systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74CBTLV3245APWRG4 datasheet, 74CBTLV3245APWRG4 pinout, 74CBTLV3245APWRG4 application, or 74CBTLV3245APWRG4 equivalent, this device delivers sub-nanosecond propagation delay (0.15–0.25 ns), ±2000-V HBM ESD protection, and guaranteed operation from –40°C to +85°C - critical for signal integrity in dense PCB layouts and hot-swap-capable backplanes.
Technical Context
The 74CBTLV3245APWRG4 implements eight independent NMOS pass-gate switches controlled by a single active-low Output Enable (OE) input. When OE is low, A1–A8 are electrically connected to B1–B8 with minimal voltage drop and near-zero propagation delay; when OE is high, both ports enter high-impedance state with <40 µA Ioff leakage at VCC = 0 V.
Its rail-to-rail switching supports logic levels from GND to VCC, enabling compatibility with mixed-voltage interfaces. The Ioff feature prevents backflow current during partial power-down, and the device meets JESD 17 latch-up immunity (>250 mA) and JESD 22 ESD standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (ron) | 5 Ω typical at VCC = 2.5 V, 64 mA - ensures minimal signal attenuation and voltage drop across switched paths |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.15–0.25 ns - enables GHz-range signal routing without timing degradation |
| Supply voltage range | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - compatible with 2.5 V and 3.3 V logic domains |
| Ioff leakage current | <40 µA at VCC = 0 V - guarantees isolation and prevents power rail contention during partial power-down |
| ESD rating (HBM) | ±2000 V - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements without external protection |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for enterprise and industrial ambient conditions |
| Input capacitance (Ci) | 4 pF - minimizes loading on driving sources and preserves edge rate |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 (PW) package: 6.50 mm × 4.40 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch, exposed thermal pad optional, RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, NC | No-connect | Internally unconnected; may be tied to GND or left floating per layout needs |
| 2–9, A1–A8 | Data I/O port A | Bidirectional signal terminals; function as inputs or outputs depending on OE state and system topology |
| 10, GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for switch current and logic control; must be low-impedance |
| 11–18, B1–B8 | Data I/O port B | Mirror of A-port; electrically identical and fully interchangeable in signal routing |
| 19, OE | Output Enable (active low) | Controls switch state: low = A↔B connected; high = high-impedance isolation; requires pullup to VCC during power sequencing |
| 20, VCC | Power supply | Single 2.3–3.6 V supply for logic and switch operation; decoupling capacitor required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Standard '245-type pinout | Enables drop-in replacement for legacy 74-series bus switches without PCB redesign |
| Rail-to-rail switching | Supports full-swing signals from GND to VCC, eliminating level-shifter requirements in mixed-voltage interconnects |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Prevents damaging back-current flow when VCC is off while A/B ports remain biased - essential for hot-swap and modular power architectures |
| 5 Ω low on-resistance | Reduces insertion loss and maintains signal integrity for high-speed digital buses up to 500 Mbps |
| Sub-1 ns enable/disable timing | ten ≤ 4.7 ns and tdis ≤ 6.4 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - enables precise, glitch-free bus arbitration and dynamic reconfiguration |
Applications
| Datacenter Backplane Switching | Industrial Ethernet PHY Interface |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Isolating redundant CPU-to-switch fabric links during failover or firmware update. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional bus switch enabling hot-swappable link reconfiguration without interrupting adjacent lanes.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-latency bus switch enabling time-multiplexed access to multiple transceivers from one UART TX/RX pair. Use Value: 4 pF input capacitance avoids baud-rate limiting on 115.2 kbps links; TSSOP-20 footprint fits space-constrained DIN-rail mount designs. |
Use Scenario: Isolating CAN FD or SPI debug interfaces from motor gate driver ICs during overcurrent fault recovery. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Signal path gate that disconnects debug lines when gate drivers enter safe-state shutdown. Use Value: Sub-5 ns enable/disable timing synchronizes cleanly with PWM dead-time controllers; –40°C to +85°C rating matches drive-stage thermal envelope. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTLV3245APW | Same die, identical electrical specs, but non-G4 suffix - lacks enhanced moisture sensitivity level (MSL) and tape-and-reel packaging per TI's G4 standard | Not qualified for high-humidity reflow environments requiring MSL1 handling; unsuitable for automated SMT lines with extended floor life requirements | Select 74CBTLV3245APWRG4 when MSL1 compliance, extended storage stability, or TI's enhanced quality screening are required. |
| 74LVC245APW | Higher ron (15–25 Ω), slower tpd (2.5–4.5 ns), no Ioff support, and lower ESD rating (±2000 V HBM but no JESD 17 latch-up spec) | Limited to low-speed, non-hot-swap applications; cannot replace 74CBTLV3245APWRG4 in partial-power-down or high-reliability contexts | Use only if cost sensitivity outweighs performance, reliability, and power-management requirements - not a functional substitute. |
Compared with SN74CBTLV3245APW and 74LVC245APW, the 74CBTLV3245APWRG4 uniquely combines ultra-low on-resistance, sub-nanosecond timing, Ioff-enabled power sequencing, and full industrial qualification - making it the sole choice for high-density, hot-swap-capable, and thermally demanding bus switching.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the 74CBTLV3245APWRG4?
The 74CBTLV3245APWRG4 is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature when packaged in the TSSOP-20 (PW) variant. This range is validated per JEDEC JESD22-A104 and applies to all electrical and switching characteristics in the official datasheet. Operation beyond +85°C is not characterized and may result in parametric shift or reliability risk.
Does the 74CBTLV3245APWRG4 support bidirectional signal flow?
Yes, the 74CBTLV3245APWRG4 supports fully bidirectional signal routing between ports A and B. Each of the eight FET switches conducts equally in either direction when enabled, with identical on-resistance and timing characteristics regardless of signal direction - confirmed in the device's simplified schematic and functional truth table.
How should the OE pin be handled during power-up to ensure reliable operation of the 74CBTLV3245APWRG4?
The OE pin of the 74CBTLV3245APWRG4 must be held high (i.e., pulled to VCC) via a pullup resistor during power-up and power-down to maintain high-impedance isolation until system control logic asserts a valid low-level enable. TI specifies a minimum pullup resistor value based on the driver's current-sinking capability; typical values range from 4.7 kΩ to 10 kΩ.
Is the 74CBTLV3245APWRG4 pin-compatible with older 74-series bus switches?
Yes, the 74CBTLV3245APWRG4 uses the standard '245-type pinout defined in JEDEC MS-012, matching pin-for-pin with industry-standard octal bus transceivers like the 74LS245 and 74LVC245. This allows direct mechanical and layout compatibility in existing designs without PCB revision.
What is the purpose of the NC (no-connect) pin on the 74CBTLV3245APWRG4?
Pin 1 of the 74CBTLV3245APWRG4 is designated NC (no internal connection). It has no electrical function and may be left floating, tied to GND, or connected to a ground plane for mechanical stability - all options are acceptable per TI's datasheet guidance and do not affect device operation or reliability.
