Product details
Overview
74CBTLV3251PGG from Renesas Electronics is a low-voltage 8:1 bi-directional multiplexer/demultiplexer IC with 5Ω on-state resistance, 2.3V–3.6V supply range, and industrial temperature operation (−40°C to +85°C), used for high-speed signal routing in FPGA I/O expansion and memory interface bus switching.
For engineers reviewing the 74CBTLV3251PGG datasheet, 74CBTLV3251PGG pinout, 74CBTLV3251PGG application, or 74CBTLV3251PGG equivalent, key selection considerations include its 0.15ns typical propagation delay, over-voltage tolerance up to +4.6V, isolation under power-off conditions, and TSSOP-16 package compatibility with dense PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 74CBTLV3251PGG implements an 8:1 analog switch architecture using NMOS pass transistors with integrated level-shifting control logic, enabling bidirectional signal flow between A and any of eight B ports (B1–B8). Its select inputs (S0–S2) decode binary addresses while OE enables/disables all switches simultaneously.
Designed for low-latency digital signal routing, it features rail-to-rail input voltage tolerance (−0.5V to +4.6V), 40.5pF off-state capacitance at the A port, and 5µA maximum off-state leakage (IOFF) at VCC = 0V - critical for hot-swap and partial-power-down system architectures.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3V–3.6V - supports dual-supply systems interfacing with 2.5V and 3.3V logic domains without level shifters |
| RON (Typ) | 5Ω - minimizes insertion loss and timing skew in high-speed parallel bus applications |
| tPD (Max) | 0.25ns - enables sub-nanosecond signal path timing for >1GHz data rates |
| IOFF (Max) | 50µA at VCC = 0V - ensures signal isolation during power sequencing or standby modes |
| VI/O Range | −0.5V to +4.6V - allows safe connection to over-voltage sources without clamping diode conduction |
| ESD Rating | 2000V HBM, 200V MM - meets industrial handling requirements without external protection |
| Temp Range | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for deployment in industrial automation and telecom infrastructure |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8:1 multiplexer/demultiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT3251PWR | Higher RON (7Ω typ), wider VCC range (4.5V–5.5V), no over-voltage tolerance beyond VCC | Requires 5V-only systems; unsuitable for mixed-voltage or hot-swap use cases | Choose only if legacy 5V design mandates TTL-compatible supply and over-voltage tolerance is unnecessary |
| PI3CH480QEX | Lower RON (3.5Ω typ), supports 1.8V–5.5V, but lacks power-off isolation and has higher IOFF (100µA) | Not suitable for partial-power-down architectures where VCC may be absent while signals remain active | Select when lowest possible on-resistance is critical and full power sequencing control is managed externally |
Compared with SN74CBT3251PWR and PI3CH480QEX, the 74CBTLV3251PGG uniquely combines 5Ω RON, −0.5V to +4.6V I/O tolerance, and guaranteed power-off isolation - making it the only option qualified for industrial hot-swap and mixed-voltage bus sharing without external protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage on the I/O pins of the 74CBTLV3251PGG?
The 74CBTLV3251PGG supports an absolute maximum I/O voltage range of −0.5V to +4.6V, independent of VCC level. This over-voltage tolerance allows direct connection to 5V-tolerant buses or sensors without external clamping, even when VCC is powered at 2.5V or 3.3V. The specification is validated per ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS in the official Renesas datasheet DSC-5403/7.
Does the 74CBTLV3251PGG support hot-swap or partial-power-down operation?
Yes, the 74CBTLV3251PGG provides guaranteed power-off isolation: when VCC = 0V, IOFF remains ≤50µA and the switches remain fully off, preventing back-current flow between live B-port signals and the unpowered A port. This behavior is explicitly characterized in the DC Electrical Characteristics table and supports safe hot-plug operation in modular systems.
What is the typical on-state resistance (RON) of the 74CBTLV3251PGG and how does it vary with supply voltage?
The 74CBTLV3251PGG exhibits a typical RON of 5Ω at VCC = 2.3V and IO = 64mA, rising to 10Ω at VCC = 3.0V with VI = 2.4V and IO = 15mA. These values are measured per the datasheet's DC ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS table and reflect actual channel resistance under defined load and bias conditions - critical for predicting voltage drop and timing skew in high-current signal paths.
Can the 74CBTLV3251PGG be used in bidirectional signal routing applications?
Yes, the 74CBTLV3251PGG is inherently bidirectional: signal flow between the A port and any selected Bx port is symmetric with identical RON, tPD, and capacitance characteristics in both directions. The functional block diagram and switching characteristics tables confirm equal A→B and B→A propagation delay (tPD ≤ 0.25ns), making it suitable for bidirectional data buses such as I²C, SMBus, or shared test interfaces.
What package type is used for the 74CBTLV3251PGG and what are its key mechanical dimensions?
The 74CBTLV3251PGG uses a 16-pin Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP) with package code PGG16. Its body measures 4.4mm × 5.0mm with 0.65mm lead pitch, conforms to JEDEC MO-153, and has no exposed thermal pad. Pin 16 is NC (no connect), and the package is RoHS-compliant and halogen-free per Renesas ordering information.
