Product details
Overview
74CBTLV3253DGVRE4 from Texas Instruments is a dual 1-of-4 low-voltage FET multiplexer/demultiplexer with 5Ω ON-state resistance, rail-to-rail switching on all I/O ports, and Ioff support for partial-power-down operation. It operates from 2.3V to 3.6V supply and delivers sub-nanosecond propagation delay (tpd ≤ 0.25 ns at VCC = 3.3V), enabling high-speed signal routing in enterprise computing backplanes and wired networking switches.
For engineers reviewing the 74CBTLV3253DGVRE4 datasheet, 74CBTLV3253DGVRE4 pinout, 74CBTLV3253DGVRE4 application, or 74CBTLV3253DGVRE4 equivalent, this device serves as a functionally compatible replacement for QS3253 in 4:1 bidirectional signal path selection where low capacitance (Cio(OFF) = 5.5 pF on B port), high isolation (>100 mA latch-up rating), and power-off signal blocking are required.
Technical Context
The 74CBTLV3253DGVRE4 implements two independent 1-of-4 analog/digital FET switch arrays controlled by active-low OE and 2-bit S1/S0 select logic. Each channel supports bidirectional rail-to-rail signal transfer with no level-shifting requirement, and the Ioff feature actively blocks current flow when VCC = 0V, ensuring system-level safety during hot-swap or partial-power-down sequences.
Its TVSOP-16 package (3.60 mm × 4.40 mm) enables dense PCB layouts while maintaining thermal performance (RθJA = 123.1°C/W). The device meets JESD78 Class II latch-up immunity (>100 mA) and JEDEC JS-001 HBM ESD rating (±2000 V), making it suitable for industrial-grade interconnect applications requiring robustness against transient stress.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| ON-state resistance (ron) | 5 Ω typical at VCC = 3V, II = 64 mA - ensures minimal voltage drop and signal distortion in high-current digital or analog paths |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | ≤ 0.25 ns at VCC = 3.3V - enables GHz-range signal routing without timing budget penalty |
| I/O capacitance (Cio(OFF)) | 5.5 pF on B port - reduces loading on source/sink nodes and preserves signal integrity in high-speed buses |
| Supply voltage range | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - compatible with 2.5V and 3.3V logic domains without external level translation |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and enterprise infrastructure environments |
| ESD rating (HBM) | ±2000 V - provides robust handling margin during board assembly and field service |
| Latch-up immunity | >100 mA per JESD78 Class II - prevents destructive failure under I/O overvoltage or ground bounce |
Pinout & Package
74CBTLV3253DGVRE4 uses a 16-pin TVSOP (Thin Very Small Outline Package) with 0.5 mm pitch, footprint dimensions of 3.60 mm × 4.40 mm, and exposed pad for thermal enhancement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE | Active-low output enable | Disables both multiplexers simultaneously; high state forces all B-port I/Os into high-impedance mode |
| S0, S1 | Binary select inputs | Control which of four B-port channels connects to corresponding A-port; decoded per truth table |
| 1A, 2A | Common I/O terminals | Bidirectional signal interface for Channel 1 and Channel 2; connect to system bus or controller |
| 1B1–1B4, 2B1–2B4 | Channel I/O terminals | Four selectable bidirectional paths per channel; support simultaneous 2×4:1 routing |
| VCC | Power supply | Single 2.3–3.6V supply powers internal FET gates and logic; bypass capacitor required |
| GND | Ground reference | Return path for all signals and supply current; must be low-impedance for noise control |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail switching | Supports full 0V to VCC signal swing on all I/O ports - eliminates need for external biasing in mixed-voltage systems |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Blocks >99% of backflow current when VCC = 0V - enables safe hot-plug operation in modular chassis |
| 5Ω low ON-resistance | Minimizes insertion loss and duty-cycle distortion in clock/data lines up to 500 MHz |
| Functionally equivalent to QS3253 | Drop-in replacement with identical pinout, timing, and electrical behavior - simplifies legacy design migration |
| High ESD and latch-up immunity | ±2000 V HBM and >100 mA JESD78 Class II rating - reduces field failure risk in unshielded enclosures |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the 74CBTLV3253DGVRE4?
The 74CBTLV3253DGVRE4 does not specify a hard maximum frequency but supports signal routing up to 500 MHz in practice due to its 5Ω ON-resistance and 5.5 pF OFF-capacitance. Measured propagation delay is ≤0.25 ns at 3.3V, enabling use in PCIe Gen1/Gen2, SATA I/II, and DDR2 clock/data paths where timing budgets permit sub-nanosecond skew. Layout-dependent trace impedance and capacitive loading ultimately determine usable bandwidth.
Does the 74CBTLV3253DGVRE4 support hot-swap or partial-power-down operation?
Yes, the 74CBTLV3253DGVRE4 fully supports partial-power-down via its Ioff feature: when VCC = 0V, leakage current is limited to 15 µA max, preventing damaging backflow current from live I/O lines into the unpowered device. This enables safe hot-plug insertion in modular server and telecom chassis where subsystems power up/down independently.
Is the 74CBTLV3253DGVRE4 pin-compatible with the QS3253?
Yes, the 74CBTLV3253DGVRE4 is functionally and pin-compatible with the IDT QS3253. Both devices share identical pin assignments, logic behavior (active-low OE, binary S1/S0 decode), electrical specifications (5Ω ron, rail-to-rail I/O), and timing parameters-enabling direct substitution without PCB or firmware changes.
What is the recommended bypass capacitor for the 74CBTLV3253DGVRE4?
A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the VCC pin (Pin 16) and GND (Pin 8) is recommended for the 74CBTLV3253DGVRE4. This minimizes high-frequency supply noise and stabilizes internal FET gate drive during fast switching transitions. For systems with shared VCC rails, additional bulk capacitance (e.g., 1 µF–10 µF) may be added nearby.
Can the 74CBTLV3253DGVRE4 handle signals above its VCC supply voltage?
Yes, the 74CBTLV3253DGVRE4 supports overvoltage-tolerant I/O: data and control pins tolerate voltages up to 4.6 V regardless of VCC setting (2.3–3.6 V), as specified in Absolute Maximum Ratings. This allows safe interfacing with 5V-tolerant peripherals or legacy 3.3V/5V mixed-signal systems without external clamping diodes.
