Product details
Overview
CBT3257APW-Q100 from Nexperia is a quad 1-of-2 bus switch IC with active-Low output enable (OE) and single select (S) control, delivering 5 Ω ON resistance, sub-0.3 ns propagation delay, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification for automotive infotainment signal routing.
For engineers reviewing the CBT3257APW-Q100 datasheet, CBT3257APW-Q100 pinout, CBT3257APW-Q100 application, or CBT3257APW-Q100 equivalent, key selection criteria include its TTL-compatible control inputs, overvoltage-tolerant OE/S pins up to 5.5 V, -40 °C to +125 °C operation, and TSSOP16 package with verified 16-pin functional mapping.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent SPDT analog switches in a single monolithic CMOS structure, each controlled by shared S and OE signals. Switching is bidirectional with no internal level-shifting, supporting signal integrity across 5 V logic domains without directionality constraints.
Its architecture relies on transmission-gate topology with rail-to-rail conduction capability, enabling direct interface between microcontroller GPIOs and peripheral buses while maintaining <10 Ω RON across full temperature range and <5.9 ns disable time at +125 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| ON Resistance | 5 Ω typical at VCC = 4.5 V, II = 64 mA - ensures minimal voltage drop and signal attenuation in high-speed digital or analog signal paths |
| Propagation Delay | 0.25 ns max (nA ↔ nBn), 5.0 ns max (S → nA) - supports >1 GHz switching in multiplexed data lines without timing skew |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V automotive power rails and immune to brown-out below 4.5 V |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood and ADAS ECU environments per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 |
| Control Input Tolerance | OE/S tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC - enables safe interfacing with mixed-voltage systems without external level shifters |
| ESD Protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - meets automotive robustness requirements for assembly and field operation |
| Off-State Capacitance | 6.4 pF max (Cio(off)) - minimizes crosstalk and loading on adjacent high-frequency traces in dense PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP16 plastic thin shrink small outline package (SOT403-1), 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm lead pitch, 1.2 mm max height - optimized for automated SMT placement and thermal performance in compact automotive modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | S | Select input controlling path between nA and nB1/nB2; TTL-compatible, overvoltage tolerant to 5.5 V |
| 2, 5, 11, 14 | 1B1, 2B1, 3B1, 4B1 | First B-side terminals for channels 1–4; bidirectional I/O ports with 6.4 pF off-capacitance |
| 3, 6, 10, 13 | 1B2, 2B2, 3B2, 4B2 | Second B-side terminals for channels 1–4; electrically identical to B1 pins, isolated when OE HIGH |
| 4, 7, 9, 12 | 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A | A-side common terminals per channel; connect to MCU GPIOs or sensor outputs with 5 Ω RON |
| 8 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and signal return path; must be low-impedance connection |
| 15 | OE | Active-Low output enable; disables all switches simultaneously; overvoltage tolerant to 5.5 V |
| 16 | VCC | Positive supply input; powers internal logic and switch transistors; decoupling capacitor required near pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive use from -40 °C to +125 °C ambient, including lifetime reliability testing per JEDEC JESD47 |
| Bidirectional analog/digital switching | Zero-directionality constraint enables reuse in both mux and demux configurations without redesign |
| Latch-up immunity >100 mA | Complies with JEDEC JESD78 Class II Level A, preventing destructive latch-up during transient overvoltage events |
| Low dynamic power consumption | ICC ≤ 25 μA at VCC = 5.5 V and full temperature range - reduces system-level heat generation in always-on ECUs |
| Minimal propagation delay variation | tpd variation <0.3 ns across temperature and voltage - critical for deterministic timing in synchronized sensor clusters |
Applications
| Automotive Infotainment Audio Routing | ADAS Camera Data Multiplexing |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad SPDT bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT3257QPWRQ1 | Higher RON (7 Ω typ), wider VCC range (4.5–5.5 V same), identical pinout and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 rating | Marginally higher insertion loss in RF-sensitive analog paths; otherwise functionally interchangeable | Preferred where TI ecosystem compatibility or dual-sourcing is required; same PCB footprint |
| 74LVC1G3157GW-Q100 | Single-channel only, lower RON (3.5 Ω), operates down to 1.65 V VCC - not pin-compatible or functionally equivalent | Requires four separate packages to match quad functionality; unsuitable for space-constrained modules | Only viable for new designs where voltage flexibility outweighs board area penalty and layout complexity |
Compared with SN74CBT3257QPWRQ1, CBT3257APW-Q100 offers lower ON resistance for reduced signal degradation; versus 74LVC1G3157GW-Q100, it delivers integrated quad functionality in one TSSOP16 package, reducing component count and routing complexity in automotive domain controllers.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current per switch channel?
The CBT3257APW-Q100 supports 128 mA continuous current through each individual switch channel, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating applies across the full -40 °C to +125 °C operating range and is validated per IEC 60134 limiting values.
Can OE and S inputs be driven directly from a 3.3 V microcontroller?
Yes - OE and S inputs are overvoltage tolerant up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level, allowing direct connection to 3.3 V GPIOs without level-shifting circuitry. VIH is defined at 2.0 V minimum, ensuring reliable recognition of HIGH states from 3.3 V logic.
Is there any built-in ESD protection on the A and B port pins?
No - ESD protection (HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V) applies only to control pins (OE, S) and power pins (VCC, GND). The A and B signal ports have no integrated ESD clamps; external TVS diodes are recommended for systems exposed to connector-level ESD events.
Does the device support hot insertion or live swapping of signals?
No - the CBT3257APW-Q100 lacks powered-off protection or IOFF isolation. When VCC = 0 V, the internal switches may conduct unpredictably due to parasitic paths. Signal routing must occur only when VCC is within 4.5 V–5.5 V and stable.
