Product details
Overview
CBT3251DB,118 from Nexperia is a 1-of-8 FET bus switch configured as a single-pole, 8-throw multiplexer/demultiplexer with active-Low output enable (OE), three binary select inputs (S0–S2), 5 Ω typical ON resistance at 5 V, ±1 μA input leakage, and operation across –40 °C to +85 °C. It routes one A-port signal bidirectionally to any of eight B-ports in high-speed digital data paths such as memory address/data bus isolation.
For engineers reviewing the CBT3251DB,118 datasheet, CBT3251DB,118 pinout, CBT3251DB,118 application, or CBT3251DB,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL-compatible control interface, overvoltage-tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V, IOFF partial power-down capability, sub-6 ns enable/disable timing, and SO16 package compatibility with legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
The CBT3251DB,118 implements an NMOS-only transmission gate architecture enabling bidirectional, low-distortion signal switching without level-shifting. Its OE-controlled enable logic and 3-bit binary decoder (S2:S0) directly select one of eight B terminals to connect to the A terminal, supporting both multiplexing and demultiplexing modes within a single device.
All control inputs tolerate voltages up to 5.5 V independent of VCC, and the IOFF circuit ensures minimal leakage (<1 μA) when VCC = 0 V-critical for hot-swap and partial-power-down systems. Propagation delay remains below 0.25 ns (A↔Bn path), while enable/disable transitions are specified at 1.5–6.4 ns under 50 pF load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| ON Resistance | 5 Ω typical at VCC = 5 V, II = 64 mA - enables low-insertion-loss signal routing in 5 V TTL/CMOS buses |
| Propagation Delay (A↔Bn) | 0.25 ns max - supports >1 GHz digital switching without timing skew degradation |
| Enable Time (OE→Bn) | 1.5–5.6 ns - allows fast channel reconfiguration in burst-mode data transfer |
| Input Leakage Current | ±1 μA max at VCC = 5.5 V - minimizes loading on upstream drivers and preserves signal integrity |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - matches standard 5 V logic rails with 10% tolerance margin |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded and communications equipment |
| ESD Protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - reduces risk of handling damage during assembly and field service |
Pinout & Package
CBT3251DB,118 is supplied in SO16 (SOT109-1) package: plastic small outline, 16 leads, 3.9 mm body width, 1.27 mm lead pitch. Pin 1 index marked, JEDEC MS-012 compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–4, 12–15 (B1–B8) | Bidirectional I/O port | Eight selectable signal paths; each electrically identical and fully bidirectional with no direction pin required |
| 5 (A) | Common bidirectional I/O port | Single shared terminal connected to selected Bn port; supports mux or demux operation depending on signal flow |
| 6 (n.c.) | No-connect | Internally unconnected; must be left floating or tied to GND/VCC per layout best practice |
| 7 (OE) | Active-Low output enable | Assert LOW to activate switch matrix; HIGH forces all paths into high-impedance OFF state |
| 8 (GND) | Ground reference | Return path for VCC and all signal currents; requires low-inductance PCB connection |
| 9–11 (S2, S1, S0) | Binary channel select | 3-bit address selects one of eight B ports; latched internally, no clock required |
| 16 (VCC) | Positive supply | Power rail for internal FET biasing; decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required within 5 mm |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5 Ω low-ON-resistance switch | Minimizes voltage drop and signal attenuation in 5 V data paths, preserving TTL logic margins |
| IOFF partial power-down | Prevents current backflow and maintains high-impedance isolation when VCC = 0 V-enables live insertion |
| Overvoltage-tolerant control inputs | Accepts up to 5.5 V on OE/S0–S2 regardless of VCC level-simplifies mixed-voltage system interfacing |
| Latch-up immunity >100 mA | Guarantees robust operation under transient fault conditions per JESD78 Class II Level A |
| Sub-6 ns enable/disable timing | Supports rapid channel switching in time-division multiplexed systems without introducing jitter |
Applications
| Memory Bus Isolation | PCI/ISA Address Decoding |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Isolating DRAM address lines between two microcontrollers sharing a common memory space. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional 1-of-8 mux/demux that routes A-port signals to one of eight B-port memory banks under software-selectable control. Use Value: Enables dynamic memory partitioning without bus contention, leveraging <0.25 ns propagation delay to preserve setup/hold timing margins. |
Use Scenario: Selecting one of eight peripheral devices on a legacy ISA bus using decoded address bits. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Address decoder front-end that maps 3-bit address lines (A0–A2) to individual device enable signals via B1–B8 outputs. Use Value: Replaces discrete logic gates with single-chip solution, reducing board area and eliminating fanout limitations of TTL buffers. |
| Test Equipment Signal Routing | Digital Logic Prototyping |
|
Use Scenario: Configurable signal path selection in automated test equipment (ATE) for routing DUT I/O to measurement instruments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-fidelity analog/digital switch providing low-capacitance (<17.5 pF A-port CI), low-RON paths between test fixtures and DUT pins. Use Value: Maintains signal integrity up to 1 GHz due to <5 Ω RON and <4 pF off-state capacitance-critical for high-speed parametric testing. |
Use Scenario: Rapid interconnection of FPGA I/O banks to multiple sensor or actuator interfaces on a development board. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reconfigurable signal router allowing firmware-defined mapping of one FPGA pin to any of eight external nodes. Use Value: Eliminates manual jumper wiring; IOFF support permits safe reconfiguration while system is partially powered. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 1-of-8 FET multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT3251PWR | Higher ICC (10 μA typ), wider VCC range (4.5–5.5 V same), identical pinout and RON | TI version offers tighter production lot consistency but lacks Nexperia's IOFF guarantee at VCC = 0 V | Select if sourcing from TI-authorized channels is required; verify IOFF behavior in zero-VCC hot-swap scenarios |
| 74LVC1G3157GW,125 | Single-channel SPDT (not 1-of-8), lower RON (3 Ω), smaller XSON8 package, 1.65–5.5 V VCC | Requires eight devices to match CBT3251DB,118 functionality-increases board area and BOM count | Choose only for ultra-low-power, space-constrained designs where full 1-of-8 integration is not mandatory |
Compared with SN74CBT3251PWR and 74LVC1G3157GW,125, the CBT3251DB,118 uniquely balances 8-channel integration, guaranteed IOFF at 0 V, and industrial temperature range in a legacy-compatible SO16 footprint-making it optimal for retrofit and high-reliability industrial upgrades.

FAQ
Is CBT3251DB,118 compatible with 3.3 V control logic?
No-CBT3251DB,118 requires VCC = 4.5–5.5 V and its control inputs (OE, S0–S2) are TTL-compatible with VIH ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V. While inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V, they are not designed for direct 3.3 V logic drive without level translation, as 3.3 V may fall below guaranteed VIH under worst-case conditions.
Can CBT3251DB,118 be used in analog signal switching applications?
Yes-its 5 Ω RON, <17.5 pF input capacitance, and bidirectional architecture support low-distortion analog switching up to ~100 MHz. However, it lacks rail-to-rail input voltage range; maximum analog signal swing is limited to VCC – 0.3 V (e.g., 4.7 V peak-to-peak at VCC = 5 V).
What is the purpose of the n.c. pin (pin 6)?
Pin 6 is a no-connect terminal with no internal bond wire or circuit connection. It must remain unconnected on the PCB-neither grounded nor tied to VCC-to avoid mechanical stress on the package or unintended coupling. Its presence maintains SO16 mechanical symmetry and pin-count alignment with legacy footprints.
Does CBT3251DB,118 support hot-swap operation?
Yes-its IOFF circuitry actively blocks current flow when VCC = 0 V, preventing back-driving of powered subsystems. This enables safe insertion/removal in live-backplane systems, provided OE is held HIGH (disabled) during insertion and only asserted after VCC stabilizes.
