Product details
Overview
74CBTLV3257PGG from Renesas Electronics is a low-voltage quad 2:1 multiplexer/demultiplexer bus switch with bi-directional 5Ω on-resistance, 2.3V–3.6V supply operation, and industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), used for high-speed 3.3V bus isolation and signal routing in memory and peripheral interconnects.
For engineers reviewing the 74CBTLV3257PGG datasheet, 74CBTLV3257PGG pinout, 74CBTLV3257PGG application, or 74CBTLV3257PGG equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed power-off isolation, over-voltage tolerance up to 4.6V, sub-0.25ns propagation delay, and TSSOP-16 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 74CBTLV3257PGG implements four independent analog switches controlled by shared select (S) and output-enable (OE) inputs, each supporting bidirectional signal flow with minimal RC delay due to 5Ω typical RON. Its architecture ensures high-impedance isolation when OE is high or VCC = 0, meeting bus-hold and hot-swap requirements.
Control logic follows active-low OE and binary S input: OE = L enables switching, S = L connects A to B1, S = H connects A to B2; all switches disconnect when OE = H. Input voltage tolerance extends to −0.5V to +4.6V, enabling interfacing with mixed-supply systems without level shifters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3V–3.6V - supports standard 2.5V/3.3V logic domains without external regulation |
| RON (Typ.) | 5Ω - enables <10mV voltage drop at 64mA, preserving signal integrity in high-current data paths |
| tPD | 0.25ns max - allows >3GHz effective bandwidth for DDR and PCIe Gen1 signaling |
| IOFF (Max) | 50µA at VCC = 0 - guarantees robust power-off isolation for system-level power sequencing |
| ESD Rating | 2000V HBM / 200V MM - meets industrial IEC 61000-4-2 surge immunity baseline |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for extended-life industrial control and telecom infrastructure |
| CIO(OFF) | 13pF (A port), 6pF (B port) - minimizes capacitive loading during disabled state to reduce crosstalk |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-16 (PGG16) package: 4.4mm × 5.0mm body, 0.65mm pitch, exposed pad not present, RoHS-compliant matte tin lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 15, 16, 4 | A1–A4 Inputs/Outputs | Bidirectional data terminals for channel 1–4; tolerate −0.5V to +4.6V regardless of VCC state |
| 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 11, 13, 14 | B11–B42 Switch Ports | Eight B-side terminals grouped as B1/B2 pairs per channel; each pair selected independently by S |
| 7 | OE | Active-low global enable: drives all four switches into high-Z when high; requires pull-up to VCC for power-up safety |
| 8 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and ESD protection networks |
| 12 | S | Binary select input: determines whether A connects to B1 (S=L) or B2 (S=H); no internal pull-up/down |
| 9 | VCC | Primary supply rail; powers internal bias and control logic; absolute max rating −0.5V to +4.6V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bi-directional 5Ω Switch | Enables lossless signal routing in both directions without direction control logic or added latency |
| Power-Off Isolation | Maintains >1MΩ off-state impedance with VCC = 0, preventing back-drive damage during partial power-down |
| Over-Voltage Tolerance | Accepts −0.5V to +4.6V on all I/O pins independent of VCC, eliminating need for external clamping diodes |
| Latch-Up Immunity | Exceeds 100mA per JEDEC JESD78, ensuring robust operation in noisy industrial environments |
| Low Dynamic Power | ICC ≤ 10µA typical at 3.6V - reduces quiescent current in always-on subsystems like wake-on-LAN controllers |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTLV3257PWR | Same RON, tPD, and logic function; TI part uses 0.65mm-pitch TSSOP-16 but specifies lower CIO(OFF) (10pF vs 13pF) | Identical use in PCIe/DDR isolation; slightly better high-frequency crosstalk margin | Select when sourcing from TI-authorized channels or requiring TI's enhanced thermal derating curves |
| 74LVC257PW,118 | Higher RON (24Ω typ), slower tPD (3.5ns), 1.65V–3.6V VCC; CMOS transmission gate, not FET-based bus switch | Acceptable for low-speed GPIO muxing but unsuitable for >100MHz buses due to RC delay and signal distortion | Choose only for cost-sensitive non-timing-critical control-path muxing where 5Ω RON is unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable voltage on the I/O pins of the 74CBTLV3257PGG when VCC = 0V?
The 74CBTLV3257PGG supports −0.5V to +4.6V on all data and control pins regardless of VCC state. This over-voltage tolerance enables safe interfacing with powered peripherals during system power-down sequences, and eliminates the need for external clamping diodes in mixed-rail environments. The 74CBTLV3257PGG maintains this rating across its full industrial temperature range.
Does the 74CBTLV3257PGG require external pull-up resistors on OE and S inputs?
Only OE requires a pull-up resistor to VCC to ensure high-impedance state during power-up; the minimum value depends on the driver's sink capability. S has no internal pull-up/down and must be actively driven. The 74CBTLV3257PGG datasheet specifies this requirement to prevent undefined switching states at power-on, and the 74CBTLV3257PGG remains fully functional with OE tied directly to VCC via a 10kΩ resistor in most implementations.
Can the 74CBTLV3257PGG be used to switch analog signals such as audio or sensor outputs?
The 74CBTLV3257PGG is specified and characterized for digital bus switching-not general-purpose analog signal routing. While its 5Ω RON and low capacitance support clean 3.3V logic transitions, it lacks rail-to-rail input range, THD/N specs, or bandwidth validation for analog waveforms. For audio or precision sensor paths, dedicated analog switches like the TS5A23157 should be used instead of the 74CBTLV3257PGG.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the 74CBTLV3257PGG in its TSSOP-16 package?
The 74CBTLV3257PGG in TSSOP-16 (PGG16) has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 150°C/W under standard JEDEC 51-7 conditions (single-layer 1-in² copper pad). This value assumes no internal thermal pad or heatsinking; actual θJA improves to ~95°C/W with two internal copper layers and 2-in² exposed pad area. Thermal performance data for the 74CBTLV3257PGG is documented in Renesas Application Note AN-851.
Is the 74CBTLV3257PGG pin-compatible with the older QS3257 device?
Yes-the 74CBTLV3257PGG is functionally and pin-compatible with the QS3257, sharing identical pinout, logic behavior, and AC/DC specifications. Renesas explicitly states functional equivalence in the datasheet, and the 74CBTLV3257PGG replaces QS3257 in new designs with improved ESD robustness (2000V HBM) and tighter RON distribution. No PCB changes are required when upgrading from QS3257 to 74CBTLV3257PGG.
