Product details
Overview
74CBTLV3253DBQRG4 from Texas Instruments is a dual 1-of-4 FET multiplexer/demultiplexer optimized for low-voltage (2.3 V to 3.6 V) high-speed signal routing in video broadcasting and communications systems. It features 5 Ω typical ON-state resistance, rail-to-rail I/O switching, Ioff partial-power-down protection, and operates across –40°C to +85°C.
For engineers reviewing the 74CBTLV3253DBQRG4 datasheet, 74CBTLV3253DBQRG4 pinout, 74CBTLV3253DBQRG4 application, or 74CBTLV3253DBQRG4 equivalent, this device supports simultaneous 2-channel 4:1 mux/demux with sub-1 ns propagation delay, active-low OE control per channel, and robust ESD tolerance (2000 V HBM).
Technical Context
The 74CBTLV3253DBQRG4 implements two independent 1-of-4 bidirectional analog/digital switches using low-threshold FETs. Each channel uses S0/S1 binary select inputs and dedicated active-low OE pins (1OE, 2OE) to enable/disable routing between common port (1A/2A) and four I/O ports (1B1–1B4 / 2B1–2B4).
Its Ioff specification ensures <15 µA leakage when VCC = 0 V, enabling safe back-drive isolation during partial power-down. The device maintains rail-to-rail signal integrity with VI/O tolerance up to 4.6 V regardless of VCC level, supporting mixed-voltage interface bridging.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - Enables operation in modern low-power 2.5 V and 3.3 V systems without level-shifting. |
| ON-State Resistance | 5 Ω (typ) at VCC = 2.5 V - Minimizes insertion loss and signal distortion in high-frequency data paths. |
| Propagation Delay | 0.15 ns (min) - Supports >1 GHz signal routing with negligible timing skew in critical paths. |
| Ioff Leakage | 15 µA max at VCC = 0 V - Prevents damaging back-current flow during hot-swap or partial power-down sequences. |
| ESD Rating | 2000 V HBM - Meets industrial-grade electrostatic discharge immunity requirements without external protection. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for use in extended-temperature industrial and broadcast equipment environments. |
| Switch I/O Voltage Range | –0.5 V to 4.6 V - Allows overvoltage-tolerant signal handling beyond VCC, simplifying interface design. |
Pinout & Package
74CBTLV3253DBQRG4 is packaged in a 16-pin SSOP (Shrink Small-Outline Package) with 0.65 mm lead pitch and 4.90 mm × 3.90 mm body size. This compact surface-mount package supports high-density PCB layouts while maintaining thermal performance (RθJA = 112.4°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE | Active-low output enable for Channel 1 | Drives all Channel 1 switches into high-impedance state when logic HIGH; ties to VCC via pullup for power-up safety. |
| S1, S0 | Binary select inputs for both channels | Set which of four B-port connections (B1–B4) routes to A-port; shared between channels for synchronized selection. |
| 1A, 2A | Common I/O ports (Channel 1 & 2) | Bidirectional signal path endpoints; connect to system buses or processors requiring flexible routing. |
| 1B1–1B4, 2B1–2B4 | Individual I/O ports per channel | Four selectable bidirectional paths per channel; support point-to-multipoint or multipoint-to-point configurations. |
| 2OE | Active-low output enable for Channel 2 | Independent control enables asymmetric channel activation-e.g., route only Channel 1 while holding Channel 2 isolated. |
| VCC, GND | Power supply and reference | Single 2.3–3.6 V supply; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required near VCC pin to suppress switching noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail I/O switching | Supports full-swing signals from –0.5 V to 4.6 V regardless of VCC, enabling interoperability with legacy 5 V logic and mixed-supply systems. |
| 5 Ω low ON-resistance | Reduces voltage drop and power dissipation in high-current digital or analog signal paths, preserving signal integrity up to 100 MHz. |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Guarantees <15 µA off-state current when VCC = 0 V, preventing backflow damage during hot-plug or power sequencing events. |
| Dual independent channels | Enables concurrent 4:1 multiplexing on two separate data streams-e.g., stereo audio, dual video lanes, or redundant control buses. |
| Sub-1 ns propagation delay | Ensures minimal timing skew between selected paths, critical for high-speed parallel interfaces like DDR memory test fixtures or FPGA I/O expansion. |
Applications
| Video Broadcasting Infrastructure | High-Speed Test Equipment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FET multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTLV3253DBQR | Same silicon die and electrical specs; RoHS-compliant CU NIPDAU finish, MSL Level-2 rating. | No functional difference; identical pinout, timing, and thermal behavior. | Select 74CBTLV3253DBQRG4 only if G4 suffix (TI's green/RoHS+halogen-free marking) is required for compliance documentation. |
| QS3253M | Functionally equivalent per TI documentation; 5.5 Ω Ron (typ), same 16-pin SSOP footprint but different marking and packaging. | Validated in legacy telecom designs; slightly higher Ron increases insertion loss marginally at >100 MHz. | Choose QS3253M for drop-in replacement where existing qualification data exists; verify MSL handling due to differing moisture sensitivity profile. |

FAQ
What is the maximum signal frequency supported by the 74CBTLV3253DBQRG4?
The 74CBTLV3253DBQRG4 does not specify a hard maximum frequency limit, but its 5 Ω ON-resistance and 5.5 pF OFF-capacitance support clean signal transmission up to at least 100 MHz in typical PCB layouts. Propagation delay of 0.15 ns confirms suitability for sub-1 GHz digital routing when combined with proper impedance control and layout practices.
Does the 74CBTLV3253DBQRG4 require external pull-up resistors on OE pins?
Yes - to ensure high-impedance state during power-up or brownout, 1OE and 2OE must be tied to VCC through pull-up resistors. TI recommends minimum values based on driver sink capability; typical values range from 4.7 kΩ to 10 kΩ for standard CMOS drivers, as specified in the device's Detailed Description section.
Can the 74CBTLV3253DBQRG4 interface between 3.3 V and 5 V systems?
Yes - the 74CBTLV3253DBQRG4 supports I/O voltages from –0.5 V to 4.6 V independent of VCC, allowing safe connection to 5 V logic outputs when powered from 3.3 V. However, it cannot drive 5 V logic high levels directly; external level-shifting is needed for bidirectional 5 V signaling.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of the 74CBTLV3253DBQRG4 in its SSOP package?
The 74CBTLV3253DBQRG4 in SSOP (DBQ) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 112.4°C/W under standard JEDEC test conditions. This value assumes a 2-layer PCB with minimal copper; actual performance improves significantly with thermal vias and internal ground/power planes.
Is the 74CBTLV3253DBQRG4 pin-compatible with the QS3253 family?
Yes - the 74CBTLV3253DBQRG4 is functionally equivalent to the QS3253 and shares identical pin configuration, electrical behavior, and timing characteristics. TI explicitly states this equivalence in the Features and Feature Description sections of the official datasheet.
