Product details
Overview
ADG3246BCPZ-REEL7 from Analog Devices is a 2.5 V/3.3 V, 10-bit, 2-port level-translating bus switch in a 24-lead LFCSP package. It provides bidirectional signal switching with 4.5 Ω on-resistance, 225 ps propagation delay, and supports 3.3 V ↔ 2.5 V, 3.3 V ↔ 1.8 V, and 2.5 V ↔ 1.8 V level translation for mixed-voltage digital interfacing between ADCs, microcontrollers, and DSPs.
For engineers reviewing the ADG3246BCPZ-REEL7 datasheet, ADG3246BCPZ-REEL7 pinout, ADG3246BCPZ-REEL7 application, or ADG3246BCPZ-REEL7 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified level-shifting configurations (SEL-controlled), sub-nanosecond timing skew across all 10 channels, guaranteed 1.244 Gbps data rate at 3.3 V, and thermal performance validated to +105°C in the CP-24-10 LFCSP package.
Technical Context
The ADG3246BCPZ-REEL7 implements a low-voltage CMOS NMOS-only switch architecture with no body diode conduction path, enabling true bidirectional signal flow and rail-to-rail analog/digital signal handling up to VCC. Its internal SEL logic dynamically adjusts threshold control to enable three distinct translation modes: 3.3 V→2.5 V (SEL = VCC), 2.5 V→1.8 V (SEL = VCC), and 3.3 V→1.8 V (SEL = GND).
Propagation delay is determined solely by RON × CL, with typical 4.5 Ω on-resistance and <10 pF channel capacitance ensuring minimal RC contribution. Bus Enable (BE) controls channel state with <4.8 ns enable/disable times, while high-impedance isolation during power-up/down is ensured via external BE pull-up configuration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - Supports dual-rail operation across 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V system domains without external regulators. |
| On Resistance (RON) | 4.5 Ω typ at VCC = 3 V, SEL = VCC - Enables low-loss signal coupling with <10 mV voltage drop at 8 mA per channel. |
| Propagation Delay (tPD) | 0.225 ns typ, 3.5 ns max - Delivers sub-nanosecond channel latency critical for high-speed parallel buses and DDR interfaces. |
| Maximum Data Rate | 1.244 Gbps typ at VCC = 3.3 V, SEL = 3.3 V - Validates reliable operation on 1.25 Gbps links such as USB 2.0 or PCI Express Gen 1 sideband signals. |
| Level Translation Modes | 3.3 V ↔ 2.5 V, 2.5 V ↔ 1.8 V, 3.3 V ↔ 1.8 V - Configurable via SEL pin; no external resistors or level-shifter ICs required. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +105°C - Qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood applications with full parameter guarantee. |
| Package | 24-lead LFCSP (4 mm × 4 mm × 0.75 mm w/ EP) - Exposed pad improves thermal dissipation (θJA = 35°C/W) and EMI shielding. |
Pinout & Package
ADG3246BCPZ-REEL7 uses a 24-lead Lead Frame Chip Scale Package (LFCSP), CP-24-10 variant, with 4 mm × 4 mm body, 0.75 mm height, and thermally enhanced exposed pad (EPAD) recommended for grounding and PCB copper plane connection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SEL | Level Translation Select (Active Low) | Configures internal biasing: SEL = GND enables 3.3 V → 1.8 V translation; SEL = VCC enables 3.3 V → 2.5 V or 2.5 V → 1.8 V modes. |
| BE | Bus Enable (Active Low) | Global channel control: BE = LOW connects all 10 A↔B pairs; BE = HIGH places all ports in high-impedance isolation. |
| A0–A9 | Port A Channel Terminals | Bidirectional I/O pins; tolerate input voltages up to VCC and support hot-swap-safe clamping when enabled. |
| B0–B9 | Port B Channel Terminals | Mirror A-side functionality; each Bn directly paired with An for 1:1 level-translating bus extension. |
| VCC | Positive Power Supply | Single supply powers both sides; defines translation reference and maximum output voltage limit (e.g., 2.5 V or 1.8 V depending on SEL). |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return for all digital and switching paths; EPAD must be connected to same ground plane for thermal and noise integrity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sub-250 ps propagation delay | Enables timing-critical parallel bus extensions (e.g., address/data buses) without adding measurable skew across 10 channels. |
| 4.5 Ω matched on-resistance | Ensures uniform signal attenuation and rise/fall time preservation across all 10 switched paths, critical for synchronous interface integrity. |
| Three-level translation modes | Eliminates need for discrete resistor dividers or dedicated translators-single device handles 3.3/2.5/1.8 V domain bridging via SEL pin. |
| 1.244 Gbps data rate | Validated for high-speed serial sideband signaling (e.g., SMBus, JTAG, or PCIe reset lines) without jitter accumulation or eye closure. |
| Hot-swap safe output clamping | Pass voltage (VP) limited to ≤2.5 V (at 3.3 V VCC) or ≤1.8 V (with SEL = GND), protecting downstream 1.8 V logic from overvoltage damage. |
Applications
| ADC-to-Microcontroller Interface | PCIe Sideband Signal Isolation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar level-translating bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AVC16T245DGGR | 16-bit, dual-supply (VCCA/VCCB), auto-direction sensing; higher ICC (10 µA quiescent), larger TSSOP package. | Requires two independent supplies; suited for asymmetric voltage translation but lacks SEL-configurable single-supply modes. | Choose when bidirectional auto-sensing and 16-bit width outweigh size and single-supply simplicity. |
| TXB0108PWR | 8-bit, dual-supply, auto-bidirectional; 3.5 µA ICC, 5.5 Ω RON, 100 Mbps max data rate, 20-pin TSSOP. | Lower speed ceiling and narrower channel count; optimized for I²C/SPI, not high-speed parallel buses. | Prefer for low-power, low-speed multi-protocol interfaces where 10-bit width and >1 Gbps are unnecessary. |
Compared with SN74AVC16T245DGGR and TXB0108PWR, ADG3246BCPZ-REEL7 delivers superior speed (1.244 Gbps vs. ≤100 Mbps), tighter propagation matching (±200 ps vs. ±1 ns), and single-supply configurability-making it optimal for compact, high-speed, mixed-voltage parallel bus applications where layout area and timing precision are critical.

FAQ
What voltage translation modes does the ADG3246BCPZ-REEL7 support?
The ADG3246BCPZ-REEL7 supports three translation modes: 3.3 V ↔ 2.5 V (SEL = VCC), 2.5 V ↔ 1.8 V (SEL = VCC), and 3.3 V ↔ 1.8 V (SEL = GND). Each mode is confirmed in the datasheet's truth table and pass voltage specifications, with output clamping verified at 2.5 V or 1.8 V depending on SEL state and VCC. No external components are needed to configure these modes.
Can the ADG3246BCPZ-REEL7 operate with only a 2.5 V supply?
Yes, the ADG3246BCPZ-REEL7 operates with VCC from 2.3 V to 3.6 V. At 2.5 V supply and SEL = VCC, it performs 2.5 V ↔ 1.8 V translation with typical pass voltage of 1.8 V and on-resistance of 5 Ω. The device maintains full functionality-including 1.244 Gbps data rate and sub-250 ps propagation delay-across its entire specified supply range.
Is the ADG3246BCPZ-REEL7 suitable for hot-swap applications?
Yes, the ADG3246BCPZ-REEL7 is explicitly qualified for hot-swap and hot-plug use. Its output clamping behavior limits pass voltage to safe levels (e.g., ≤1.8 V when SEL = GND), preventing overvoltage damage to downstream 1.8 V logic during insertion. The BE pin allows controlled isolation before power sequencing, and the device remains in high-impedance state during power-up/down when BE is pulled up.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the ADG3246BCPZ-REEL7 package?
The ADG3246BCPZ-REEL7 in the 24-lead LFCSP (CP-24-10) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 35°C/W under JEDEC JESD-51-2 test conditions (2S2P board with four thermal vias). This value assumes proper thermal design-including soldering the EPAD to a grounded copper plane-to ensure reliable operation at +105°C ambient.
Does the ADG3246BCPZ-REEL7 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on SEL or BE?
SEL should be actively driven or tied to VCC (for 3.3 V→2.5 V/2.5 V→1.8 V modes) or GND (for 3.3 V→1.8 V mode); floating SEL is not allowed. BE must be pulled up to VCC via an external resistor during power-up/down to guarantee high-impedance state-minimum resistor value depends on driver sink capability, per datasheet Figure 28 guidance. No pull-downs are required on either pin.
