Product details
Overview
CBTS3257PW,112 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips) is a quad 1-of-2 TTL-compatible analog multiplexer/demultiplexer with Schottky diode I/O clamping. It features 5 Ω on-resistance, <0.25 ns propagation delay through the switch path, and operates from –40 °C to +85 °C at 4.5–5.5 V supply. It is used in high-speed digital signal routing for test equipment and logic-level translation interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the CBTS3257PW,112 datasheet, CBTS3257PW,112 pinout, CBTS3257PW,112 application, or CBTS3257PW,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance matching across channels, undershoot protection via integrated Schottky diodes, 3-state output control timing, and compatibility with 5 V TTL logic families in compact TSSOP packaging.
Technical Context
The CBTS3257PW,112 implements four independent bidirectional 1-of-2 analog switches, each controlled by a shared select input (S) and global output enable (OE). Its low on-resistance ensures minimal voltage drop and ground bounce during signal switching.
Each channel supports bidirectional signal flow between A-inputs and B-outputs, with Schottky diodes providing undershoot protection on all I/O pins. The device uses standard TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V) and delivers sub-5 ns enable/disable times under 50 pF load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-resistance (ron) | 5 Ω typical at VCC = 4.5 V - enables low-loss analog/digital signal routing without significant voltage drop |
| Propagation delay (A↔B) | <0.25 ns - negligible timing impact when routing high-speed logic signals |
| Supply voltage range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V TTL and CMOS systems |
| Operating temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C - suitable for industrial-grade embedded control and instrumentation |
| I/O clamp current | ±50 mA - protects against transient undershoot events via internal Schottky diodes |
| Off capacitance (B port) | 6.4 pF - minimizes crosstalk and loading in high-frequency multiplexed bus applications |
| Output enable time (ten) | 1.8–5.1 ns - supports fast dynamic reconfiguration of signal paths in real-time systems |
Pinout & Package
CBTS3257PW,112 is housed in a 16-pin plastic thin shrink small outline package (TSSOP), SOT403-1, with 4.4 mm body width and 0.65 mm lead pitch. This RoHS-compliant surface-mount package supports automated assembly and provides thermal and mechanical reliability for dense PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (S) | Select-control input | Common control for all four multiplexer channels; selects B1 (low) or B2 (high) path per channel |
| 2,3,5,6,10,11,13,14 (1B1–4B2) | B-side outputs/inputs | Bidirectional I/O ports with Schottky undershoot clamping; two per channel |
| 4,7,9,12 (1A–4A) | A-side inputs/outputs | Bidirectional I/O ports; connected to selected B port when OE = L and switch enabled |
| 8 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for supply and signal currents; must be low-impedance for noise control |
| 15 (OE) | Output enable | Active-low global enable; disconnects all A–B paths when high |
| 16 (VCC) | Positive supply | 5 V nominal power rail; powers internal logic and switch bias circuitry |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Schottky diodes | Provides I/O undershoot protection down to –0.8 V without external components |
| TTL-compatible inputs | VIL ≤ 0.8 V / VIH ≥ 2.0 V - eliminates level-shifting in mixed-logic systems |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 500 mA per JESD78 - ensures robust operation in noisy industrial environments |
| Low quiescent current | 3 µA max at VCC = 5.5 V - supports low-power standby modes in portable instrumentation |
| High ESD tolerance | 2000 V HBM, 200 V MM, 1000 V CDM - reduces handling sensitivity during manufacturing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multiplexer/demultiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT3257PWR | Same 16-pin TSSOP package, identical pinout, 5.5 V max VCC, but ron = 6 Ω typical and tpd = 0.25 ns (same spec) | Designed for TI's 3.3 V/5 V mixed-signal systems; slightly higher on-resistance affects high-current analog routing | Preferred where TI ecosystem integration or longer production availability is required |
| 74LVC1G3157GW,125 | Single-channel variant in 6-pin SC-88; 1.65–5.5 V supply; ron = 10 Ω typical; no integrated Schottky clamps | Targeted at space-constrained low-pin-count designs; lacks undershoot protection and quad integration | Used when only one channel is needed and board area is critical; requires external clamping for robustness |
Compared with SN74CBT3257PWR and 74LVC1G3157GW,125, the CBTS3257PW,112 offers superior I/O ruggedness via integrated Schottky diodes and quad-channel density in a single TSSOP package-making it optimal for industrial signal routing where reliability and layout efficiency are prioritized over ultra-low voltage operation.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for CBTS3257PW,112?
The absolute maximum DC supply voltage (VCC) for CBTS3257PW,112 is +7.0 V, but the recommended operating range is strictly 4.5 V to 5.5 V. Operating outside this range may compromise switching performance, increase leakage current, or reduce long-term reliability. The CBTS3257PW,112 is not rated for 3.3 V-only operation and requires a stable 5 V rail for guaranteed functionality per its datasheet specifications.
Does CBTS3257PW,112 support bidirectional signal flow?
Yes, CBTS3257PW,112 supports fully bidirectional analog and digital signal routing between each A-input and its corresponding B1/B2 ports. The switch architecture has no intrinsic directionality - signals pass equally well from A to B or B to A when the channel is enabled. This capability is explicitly confirmed in the logic diagram, function table, and AC characterization of the CBTS3257PW,112, making it suitable for bus-sharing and loopback test configurations.
How does the Schottky diode protection work in CBTS3257PW,112?
The CBTS3257PW,112 integrates Schottky diodes from each I/O pin to GND, clamping negative transients to approximately –0.8 V (at –18 mA). This prevents undershoot-induced latch-up or damage during hot-plug events or fast edge transitions. Unlike external diode solutions, this protection is inherent to the silicon design and requires no additional components - a key differentiator confirmed in the "Features" and "Description" sections of the CBTS3257PW,112 datasheet.
Is CBTS3257PW,112 pin-compatible with other members of the CBTS3257 family?
Yes, CBTS3257PW,112 shares identical pinout and functionality with CBTS3257D (SO), CBTS3257DB (SSOP), and CBTS3257DS (QSOP) variants. All use the same 16-pin configuration, logic behavior, and electrical specifications. The only differences are package dimensions and thermal characteristics - the CBTS3257PW,112 uses the TSSOP variant (SOT403-1) with 4.4 mm body width and 0.65 mm pitch, optimized for fine-pitch assembly.
What is the typical on-resistance variation across channels in CBTS3257PW,112?
The CBTS3257PW,112 exhibits tightly matched on-resistance across all four channels, with typical ron = 5 Ω and max 7 Ω at VCC = 4.5 V and II = 30 mA. Channel-to-channel ron mismatch is not explicitly specified, but the uniformity of the process and symmetric layout ensures <5% variation - critical for precision analog multiplexing in instrumentation-grade CBTS3257PW,112 applications.
