Product details
Overview
CBT3857PW,118 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips) is a 10-bit CMOS bus switch optimized for DDR SDRAM interfaces, featuring 10 kΩ internal pull-down resistors on the B port, SSTL_2-compatible enable input, and 24-pin TSSOP package. It operates from 3.0 V to 3.6 V, delivers 720 ps typical propagation delay, and supports 200 Mbps data rates in high-speed memory subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the CBT3857PW,118 datasheet, CBT3857PW,118 pinout, CBT3857PW,118 application, or CBT3857PW,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include its flow-through architecture for PCB layout optimization, on-resistance of 20–30 Ω eliminating external series termination, and integrated termination enabling full DDR solutions with SSTL16857 and PCK857.
Technical Context
The CBT3857PW,118 implements a low-voltage, bidirectional analog switch topology using NMOS pass transistors with no level-shifting circuitry-enabling direct connection between A and B ports when OE is low. Its SSTL_2-compatible OE input accepts reference-based thresholds (VREF ±350 mV AC), and internal 50 kΩ pull-up on OE ensures defined logic state during power-up.
Designed specifically for DDR SDRAM DIMM applications, the device provides controlled impedance switching with 24 Ω typical on-resistance matched to transmission line requirements, while internal 10 kΩ pull-downs on all ten B-port outputs suppress floating states during disable. It is characterized across 0°C to +85°C and meets JESD78 latch-up (>500 mA) and JESD22 ESD specifications (2000 V HBM).
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 24-pin plastic TSSOP (SOT355-1), 4.4 mm body width, lead pitch 0.65 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VREF (Pin 1) | Reference voltage output | Provides 0.38 × VCC for SSTL_2 threshold generation; must be connected to OE input reference |

| OE (Pin 23) | Output enable control | Active-low SSTL_2 input; 50 kΩ internal pull-up ensures default HIGH (open) state at power-on |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through pinout | Input A1–A10 and output B1–B10 arranged linearly across opposite sides-reduces layer count and crosstalk in DDR routing |

Applications
| DDR SDRAM DIMM Address Bus | DDR SDRAM DIMM Control Bus |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Routing address signals from memory controller to multiple SDRAM chips on a 184-pin DIMM module. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional bus switch isolating controller-side A-port from terminated B-port, enabling fanout without signal degradation.

Use Value: 24 Ω ron minimizes skew between parallel CE# lines; GND/VCC pins placed adjacent to reduce supply inductance. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTD3384DBR | 8-bit, 5 V tolerant, no internal termination resistors, higher ICCZ (2.5 mA) | Requires external pull-downs; suited for general-purpose 5 V logic, not DDR-optimized | Select only if operating at 5 V or needing higher voltage tolerance; lacks DDR-specific features |
| PI3CH400QE | 10-bit, 3.3 V, no internal termination, 12 ns enable/disable time vs. 1–3 ns for CBT3857PW,118 | Slower switching limits use in >133 MHz DDR; requires external termination network | Use where cost is prioritized over DDR timing compliance; verify tdis/tens meet system margin |
Compared with SN74CBTD3384DBR and PI3CH400QE, the CBT3857PW,118 uniquely integrates DDR-optimized features-including SSTL_2 OE, 10 kΩ B-port pull-downs, and sub-nanosecond enable timing-making it the only solution requiring zero external termination components in 184-pin DDR DIMM designs.

FAQ
What is the function of the VREF pin on the CBT3857PW,118?
The VREF pin on the CBT3857PW,118 outputs a reference voltage equal to 0.38 × VCC (1.15–1.35 V at 3.0–3.6 V supply), which sets the switching thresholds for the SSTL_2-compatible OE input. This pin must be connected directly to the OE input's reference node to ensure correct AC and DC high/low-level detection per JEDEC SSTL-2 specifications. The CBT3857PW,118 relies on this internally generated VREF to interface reliably with DDR memory controllers without external voltage dividers.
Does the CBT3857PW,118 require external pull-down resistors on the B port?
No, the CBT3857PW,118 includes internal 10 kΩ pull-down resistors on all ten B-port outputs (B1–B10), eliminating the need for external termination components. This integration reduces bill-of-materials count and PCB footprint in DDR SDRAM DIMM designs. The CBT3857PW,118 datasheet explicitly confirms these resistors are fabricated monolithically and characterized across temperature and voltage-no external pull-downs are recommended or required for standard operation.
What is the maximum data rate supported by the CBT3857PW,118?
The CBT3857PW,118 is designed for use in Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM applications up to 200 Mbps, as stated in its official product specification. This rating is validated by its 720 ps typical propagation delay, 24 Ω on-resistance, and 6.4 pF output capacitance-parameters that collectively support clean signal edges and minimal jitter at DDR timing margins. The CBT3857PW,118 does not specify support beyond 200 Mbps, and operation at higher rates is not guaranteed by NXP's characterization.
Can the CBT3857PW,118 be used in 5 V systems?
No, the CBT3857PW,118 is rated for 3.0 V to 3.6 V VCC operation only, with absolute maximum VCC of +4.6 V. Its internal circuitry-including SSTL_2 input thresholds referenced to VREF and NMOS switch design-is optimized for 3.3 V DDR logic. Applying 5 V exceeds recommended conditions and risks parametric failure or reliability degradation. For 5 V bus switching, alternative parts such as SN74CBTD3384DBR should be considered-not the CBT3857PW,118.
Is the CBT3857PW,118 pin-compatible with other CBT-series switches like CBT3383 or CBT3384?
No, the CBT3857PW,118 is not pin-compatible with CBT3383 or CBT3384. It uses a unique 24-pin TSSOP (SOT355-1) pinout with VREF on Pin 1, GND on Pin 12, and OE on Pin 23-distinct from the 20-pin SO and TSSOP packages of CBT3383/CBT3384. The CBT3857PW,118 also differs electrically: it includes B-port pull-downs and SSTL_2 OE, whereas CBT3383/CBT3384 lack both features. Direct substitution would require PCB redesign and firmware revalidation.
