Product details
Overview
74CBTLV3245QG8 from Renesas Electronics is a low-voltage octal bus switch with 20-pin QSOP package, 5Ω on-resistance, 2.3V–3.6V supply range, 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 74CBTLV3245QG8 datasheet, 74CBTLV3245QG8 pinout, 74CBTLV3245QG8 application, or 74CBTLV3245QG8 equivalent, key selection criteria include bi-directional switch RON, power-off isolation behavior, over-voltage tolerance, and OE-active-low timing performance in mixed-voltage interconnects.
Technical Context
The 74CBTLV3245QG8 implements eight independent CMOS transmission-gate switches with active-low Output Enable (OE) control. Each switch provides true bi-directional signal flow between Port A and Port B pins without directionality constraints.
It features power-off isolation-maintaining high-impedance between ports when VCC = 0-and supports over-voltage tolerant I/O up to 4.6V, enabling safe interfacing with higher-voltage logic domains while operating from 2.3V–3.6V supplies.
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 systems without level translation. |
| RON (Typ.) | 5Ω at VCC = 2.5V, IO = 64mA - Ensures minimal signal attenuation and skew in high-speed parallel buses. |
| tPD (Max) | 0.25ns - Supports >1 GHz signal integrity in short-reach, low-capacitance interconnects. |
| IOFF (Max) | 50µA at VCC = 0 - Guarantees robust isolation during power sequencing or hot-swap events. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded control, instrumentation, and telecom infrastructure. |
| ESD Rating | 2000V HBM, 200V MM - Meets MIL-STD-883 requirements for handling robustness in manufacturing and field environments. |
Pinout & Package
74CBTLV3245QG8 uses a 20-pin Quarter-Size Small Outline Package (QSOP, PCG20), 7.2mm × 4.4mm body, 0.65mm pitch, with exposed pad not present. Pin 1 is top-left corner (dot-marked), pin count matches standard '245 logic layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 20 | VCC, GND | Power and ground reference for internal switch biasing; decoupling required near pin 1. |
| 2–9 | A1–A8 | Port A bidirectional I/O terminals; electrically identical to B-side, no internal direction control. |
| 11–18 | B1–B8 | Port B bidirectional I/O terminals; fully symmetrical with A-side for flexible routing. |
| 10 | OE | Active-low output enable; must be pulled high via resistor during power-up to ensure default isolation state. |
| 19 | NC | No connect - internally unconnected; leave floating or grounded per board layout best practice. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pin-compatible with '245 logic | Direct drop-in replacement for legacy 74LVC245/74ALVC245 in existing PCB layouts using QSOP footprint. |
| 5Ω typical on-resistance | Enables <10mV voltage drop at 24mA per channel, preserving signal integrity in 3.3V parallel address/data buses. |
| Power-off isolation | Guarantees >1MΩ isolation resistance between A/B ports when VCC = 0, preventing back-drive damage during partial power-down. |
| Over-voltage tolerant I/O | Withstands −0.5V to +4.6V on all I/O pins regardless of VCC state - supports mixed-voltage domain bridging without external clamps. |
Applications
| Server Memory Interconnect | Industrial PLC Backplane |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTLV3245PWR | Same RON (5Ω), identical pinout, but TSSOP-20 (PGG20) package; slightly higher CIO(OFF) (6pF vs 5pF). | Preferred where board space allows wider TSSOP footprint and thermal dissipation margin is critical. | Select when requiring RoHS-compliant tape-and-reel delivery and compatibility with automated SMT placement systems optimized for TSSOP. |
| 74LVC245APW | Higher RON (15Ω typ.), no over-voltage tolerance (max VI = VCC + 0.3V), lacks power-off isolation. | Suitable only for same-supply-domain applications with no hot-swap or mixed-voltage requirements. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, single-rail 3.3V designs where isolation and voltage tolerance are non-critical. |
Compared with SN74CBTLV3245PWR and 74LVC245APW, the 74CBTLV3245QG8 uniquely delivers 5Ω RON, guaranteed power-off isolation, and ±4.6V I/O tolerance in a compact QSOP package-making it the only option qualified for industrial hot-swap and mixed-voltage backplane isolation.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage on A/B pins of the 74CBTLV3245QG8?
The 74CBTLV3245QG8 supports an absolute maximum input voltage of −0.5V to +4.6V on all A and B port pins, independent of VCC level. This over-voltage tolerance enables safe interfacing with 5V-tolerant or higher-voltage logic domains while operating from a 2.3V–3.6V supply, eliminating the need for external clamping diodes in many mixed-voltage designs.
Does the 74CBTLV3245QG8 require external pull-up resistors on the OE pin?
Yes - the 74CBTLV3245QG8 OE pin is active-low and has no internal pull-up. To ensure the switch remains in high-impedance (off) state during power-up or power-down, OE must be tied to VCC through an external pull-up resistor (typically 10kΩ). This prevents unintended bus connection before system initialization completes.
Can the 74CBTLV3245QG8 be used in hot-swap applications?
Yes - the 74CBTLV3245QG8 is explicitly designed for hot-swap use cases due to its power-off isolation (IOFF ≤ 50µA at VCC = 0) and over-voltage tolerant I/O. When VCC is removed, the A–B path maintains high impedance, preventing back-driving of live backplane rails and protecting upstream circuitry during module insertion or removal.
What is the typical on-resistance (RON) of the 74CBTLV3245QG8 and how does it vary with supply voltage?
The 74CBTLV3245QG8 exhibits a typical RON of 5Ω at VCC = 2.5V and IO = 64mA, and 5Ω at VCC = 3.0V and IO = 24mA. RON increases to 10–15Ω at VCC = 3.0V with IO = 15mA and VI = 2.4V. This low, stable on-resistance ensures minimal signal degradation in high-speed 3.3V bus applications.
Is the 74CBTLV3245QG8 pin-compatible with standard 74-series '245 devices?
Yes - the 74CBTLV3245QG8 uses standard '245 pinout configuration (A1–A8, OE, B1–B8, VCC, GND, NC), making it a direct physical and functional replacement for 74LVC245 and 74ALVC245 in QSOP packages. No PCB layout changes are required when upgrading to leverage lower RON, power-off isolation, and over-voltage tolerance.
