Product details
Overview
CBT3251PW,118 from Nexperia is a 1-of-8 FET bus switch with active-Low output enable (OE), three binary select inputs (S0–S2), and bidirectional A/B signal routing. It delivers 5 Ω typical ON resistance at 5 V, supports TTL-level control up to 5.5 V, operates from –40 °C to +85 °C, and enables low-latency signal routing in high-speed digital interconnects.
For engineers reviewing the CBT3251PW,118 datasheet, CBT3251PW,118 pinout, CBT3251PW,118 application, or CBT3251PW,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include ON-resistance matching, OE timing (enable/disable <6.4 ns), TSSOP16 thermal performance, and IOFF-enabled partial power-down behavior in mixed-voltage systems.
Technical Context
The CBT3251PW implements an NMOS-only transmission gate architecture with integrated level-shifting control inputs tolerant to 5.5 V, enabling direct interface with 3.3 V or 5 V logic while powered from a single 4.5–5.5 V supply. Its IOFF circuitry blocks current flow when VCC = 0 V, preventing back-powering of downstream circuits during power sequencing.
Functionally, it operates as a single-pole, 8-throw analog/digital switch where S2:S0 selects one of eight B ports to connect bidirectionally with the A port. OE must be LOW for switching; HIGH forces all switches OFF with <4 pF off-state capacitance per B port, minimizing crosstalk in dense PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| ON Resistance | 5 Ω typical at VCC = 5 V, II = 64 mA - ensures minimal voltage drop and signal integrity for 100 μA–128 mA digital/data signals. |
| Propagation Delay | 0.25 ns max A↔B path - supports >1 GHz signal routing without measurable skew in high-speed bus applications. |
| Enable/Disable Time | 1.9–6.4 ns (OE→output) - enables precise timing control for synchronized multiplexing in FPGA I/O expansion or memory address routing. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V logic rails and industrial-grade 5 V regulators. |
| IOFF Current | Specified under VCC = 0 V - prevents back-current leakage during hot-swap or partial power-down sequences. |
| ESD Protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 requirements for board-level ESD robustness. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial ambient environments without derating. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP16 package (SOT403-1): plastic thin shrink small outline, 16 leads, 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm lead pitch, exposed pad not present. RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 12, 13, 14, 15 (B1–B8) | Bidirectional data port terminals | Eight selectable I/O paths; each electrically isolated when unselected; 4.0 pF off-capacitance minimizes loading on shared buses. |
| 5 (A) | Common bidirectional I/O terminal | Single hub port connecting to microcontroller GPIO, FPGA I/O bank, or ASIC data line; supports full-duplex signal routing. |
| 6 (n.c.) | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout best practice-no external connection required. |
| 7 (OE) | Active-Low output enable | Assert LOW to activate switching matrix; HIGH disables all paths and places B ports in high-Z state with IOFF protection. |
| 8 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for supply and signal currents; requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane. |
| 9, 10, 11 (S2, S1, S0) | Binary address select inputs | 3-bit code selects one B port (000 = B1, 111 = B8); overvoltage-tolerant to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level. |
| 16 (VCC) | Positive supply voltage | Power rail for internal FET biasing and level shifters; bypass capacitor (100 nF) recommended within 5 mm of pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5 Ω typical ON resistance | Enables sub-100 mV voltage drop at 20 mA, preserving logic margins in 5 V CMOS and TTL interfaces. |
| IOFF partial power-down | Blocks current flow when VCC = 0 V, allowing safe insertion/removal in live-backplane or modular I/O systems. |
| TTL-compatible control inputs | Accepts 0.8 V / 2.0 V logic thresholds directly-no external level shifters needed for 3.3 V controller interfacing. |
| Low dynamic power consumption | ICC ≤ 3 μA at VCC = 5.5 V - reduces quiescent load in battery-backed or always-on monitoring subsystems. |
| High-speed switching | Sub-nanosecond A↔B propagation delay supports PCIe Gen1/USB 2.0 auxiliary signal routing and JTAG chain expansion. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | FPGA Peripheral Multiplexing |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Routing sensor analog outputs or digital status lines from multiple field modules to a central ADC or microcontroller input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional analog/digital bus switch enabling time-shared access to limited MCU GPIO or ADC channels. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete analog switches or additional microcontrollers; 5 Ω RON preserves signal fidelity across 0–5 V sensor ranges. |
Use Scenario: Sharing a single UART, SPI, or I²C interface among multiple peripheral devices (e.g., EEPROM, temperature sensor, DAC) on an FPGA carrier board. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Logic-level multiplexer controlled by FPGA GPIOs to dynamically assign serial bus ownership. Use Value: Reduces FPGA pin count by 7× versus dedicated interfaces; <6.4 ns enable time supports 10+ MHz SPI clock rates without bus contention. |
| Test Equipment Signal Routing | Legacy System Bus Interface |
|
Use Scenario: Automated test fixtures requiring programmable connection between DUT pins and measurement instruments (oscilloscope, DMM, pattern generator). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-latency, low-capacitance signal path selector with fast enable/disable for sequential channel scanning. Use Value: 4.0 pF off-capacitance prevents signal distortion on 100 MHz+ waveforms; IOFF prevents instrument back-driving during reconfiguration. |
Use Scenario: Adapting modern 3.3 V microcontrollers to legacy 5 V parallel address/data buses (e.g., EPROM, LCD controllers, ISA-style peripherals). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage-tolerant bidirectional bus switch enabling safe level translation without direction control logic. Use Value: Overvoltage-tolerant S0–S2 inputs accept 5 V control signals while VCC = 3.3 V; eliminates need for dual-supply translators. |
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 | TI part with identical pinout and function but higher ICC (10 μA typical) and no IOFF specification. | Lacks guaranteed VCC = 0 V isolation; unsuitable for hot-swap or partial power-down use cases. | Select only if IOFF is not required and TI supply chain preference applies. |
| 74LVC1G3157GW,125 | Nexperia single-channel SPDT switch (not 1-of-8); 6 Ω RON, 3.3 V only, different pinout and control logic. | Requires 3× devices plus external decoder logic to replicate 1-of-8 functionality; increases board area and complexity. | Use only for low-pin-count designs where channel count can be reduced and voltage is strictly 3.3 V. |

FAQ
Can CBT3251PW,118 operate with VCC = 3.3 V?
No. The CBT3251PW,118 is specified only for VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V per Table 5. Operation below 4.5 V violates recommended conditions and degrades ON resistance, timing, and noise immunity. For 3.3 V systems, consider the 74LVC1G3157 or similar LVC-family switches.
Is the n.c. pin (pin 6) required to be grounded?
No. Pin 6 is internally unconnected and must remain unpopulated or left floating. Grounding it provides no benefit and risks unintended coupling; Nexperia's package drawings and pin description explicitly define it as "not connected" with no electrical function.
Does CBT3251PW,118 support hot-swapping while powered?
Yes-when VCC is present and OE is HIGH, all switches are OFF and B ports enter high-Z state. When VCC = 0 V, IOFF circuitry actively blocks current flow, preventing back-powering of upstream circuitry-a key feature validated per JEDEC JESD78 latch-up and IOFF testing.
What is the maximum capacitive load the CBT3251PW,118 can drive reliably?
The device is characterized with 50 pF load (Table 9) and exhibits <0.25 ns propagation delay under those conditions. While not explicitly rated beyond 50 pF, its 5 Ω RON and low output capacitance (<17.5 pF on A port) support reliable operation up to ~100 pF with minor timing degradation-verified in Nexperia application notes for bus-switch signal integrity.
