Product details
Overview
SN74CB3Q16210DGVR from Texas Instruments is a 20-bit, dual 10-bit FET bus switch with rail-to-rail analog/digital signal switching capability, 5 Ω typical ON-state resistance (ron), 0.25 ns typical propagation delay, and 5-V tolerant I/Os operating from 2.3 V to 3.6 V VCC - deployed in high-bandwidth PCI interface and memory interleaving systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CB3Q16210DGVR datasheet, SN74CB3Q16210DGVR pinout, SN74CB3Q16210DGVR application, or SN74CB3Q16210DGVR equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional low-distortion signal gating, partial-power-down (Ioff) support, 4 pF typical OFF-state I/O capacitance, and TVSOP-48 package compatibility with space-constrained board layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74CB3Q16210DGVR implements two independent 10-bit FET bus switches with separate OE controls (1OE, 2OE), enabling configurable 10-bit or consolidated 20-bit operation. Each switch uses an internal charge pump to elevate gate voltage, ensuring flat ron across 0–5 V signal swing.
It supports true bidirectional data flow with near-zero propagation delay and features undershoot clamp diodes on all data and control inputs. The device maintains high-impedance isolation during power-up/down when OE is pulled up to VCC, and guarantees Ioff protection at 0 V VCC with ≤1 µA leakage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - enables interoperability with 2.5 V and 3.3 V logic domains while maintaining 5-V tolerant I/Os |
| ron (Typical) | 5 Ω - ensures minimal voltage drop and signal attenuation for high-fidelity analog/digital signal routing |
| tpd (Max) | 0.25 ns - supports sub-nanosecond timing-critical paths in broadband communications backplanes |
| Cio(OFF) (Typical) | 4 pF - reduces capacitive loading on shared buses, preserving signal integrity and edge rate |
| Ioff Leakage | ≤1 µA at VCC = 0 V - prevents backflow current and enables safe partial-power-down in mixed-voltage systems |
| Switching Frequency (fOE) | 20 MHz max - allows high-speed enable/disable control without compromising channel stability |
| VI/O Range | 0 V to 5.5 V - supports rail-to-rail signaling across 0.8 V, 1.2 V, 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic families |
Pinout & Package
SN74CB3Q16210DGVR is housed in a 48-pin TVSOP (DGV) package, 3.6 mm × 11.5 mm footprint, 1.2 mm max height, JEDEC MO-153 compliant, with exposed pad not present and pin 1 marked by corner chamfer.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A1–1A10, 2A1–2A10 | Input/Output Port A (Group 1 & 2) | Bidirectional data terminals for first and second 10-bit switch banks; tolerate 0–5 V signals regardless of VCC state |
| 1B1–1B10, 2B1–2B10 | Input/Output Port B (Group 1 & 2) | Corresponding bidirectional I/Os mirroring A-side; enable full-duplex or isolated path routing |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output Enable (Active-Low) | Independent control of each 10-bit bank; OE low enables A↔B connection; OE high forces high-Z isolation |
| VCC | Supply Voltage | Power rail for internal charge pump and logic; must be stable between 2.3 V and 3.6 V for specified ron and timing |
| GND (Pins 8, 17, 35, 46) | Ground Reference | Four dedicated ground pins minimize ground bounce and ensure consistent ron and Cio performance across all channels |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog/digital switching | Supports 0–5 V signal swing with 3.3 V VCC - eliminates level-shifter requirement in mixed-voltage memory or I/O expansion paths |
| Charge-pump-enhanced FET architecture | Maintains flat 5 Ω ron across full VI/O range - critical for minimizing harmonic distortion in RF front-end or high-speed serial gating |
| 5-V tolerant I/Os powered up or down | Operates safely with VI/O = 0–5.5 V even when VCC = 0 V - enables hot-swap and live-insertion in modular backplane designs |
| Undershoot clamp diodes | Integrated clamps limit negative transients to −1.8 V - protects downstream receivers from ESD-induced latch-up in noisy industrial environments |
| Partial-power-down (Ioff) support | Blocks current flow between A/B ports when VCC = 0 V - essential for power-gating subsystems without disrupting adjacent active rails |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTLV3244DGVR | 8-bit, non-charge-pump design; ron = 3 Ω typical but limited to 3.6 V max VI/O; no 5-V tolerance when powered down | Suitable only for 3.3 V-only systems; lacks Ioff and hot-swap capability | Select when lower channel count and tighter ron tolerance outweigh 5-V I/O and power-down safety needs |
| TS3DV642RTVR | 64-channel, 1.8 V–5.5 V VCC range; higher Cio(OFF) = 7 pF; no undershoot clamps; different pinout | Targeted at video/audio routing; not optimized for high-speed digital bus isolation | Prefer for multi-format signal distribution where VI/O flexibility matters more than nanosecond timing or ESD robustness |
Compared with SN74CB3Q16210DGVR, SN74CBTLV3244DGVR offers lower ron but sacrifices 5-V I/O tolerance and Ioff protection, while TS3DV642RTVR provides wider VCC range and channel density at the cost of higher capacitance and missing clamps - making SN74CB3Q16210DGVR uniquely balanced for high-reliability, mixed-voltage digital infrastructure.

FAQ
What is the maximum signal frequency supported by SN74CB3Q16210DGVR?
The SN74CB3Q16210DGVR supports high-bandwidth data paths up to 500 MHz, as confirmed in the device's official datasheet (SCDS166). This performance stems from its low 5 Ω typical ON-state resistance and 4 pF typical OFF-state I/O capacitance, which jointly minimize RC time constants and preserve signal edge rates in applications like PCI interface and memory interleaving. Actual usable frequency depends on layout, load, and termination.
Does SN74CB3Q16210DGVR support hot-swap or live-insertion scenarios?
Yes, SN74CB3Q16210DGVR supports hot-swap operation due to its 5-V tolerant I/Os - functional even when the device is unpowered (VCC = 0 V) - and integrated Ioff circuitry that blocks damaging backflow current. Its undershoot clamp diodes further protect against transient excursions during insertion. These features make SN74CB3Q16210DGVR suitable for modular backplane and field-replaceable unit designs requiring live-connect capability.
What is the recommended pull-up resistor value for OE pins on SN74CB3Q16210DGVR?
The datasheet specifies that OE pins should be tied to VCC via a pull-up resistor to ensure high-impedance state during power-up or power-down. The minimum resistor value is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driving source; TI does not specify a fixed value but recommends verifying driver strength. For standard CMOS drivers, 4.7 kΩ to 10 kΩ is commonly used. Always confirm with actual system drive strength to avoid marginal enable timing in SN74CB3Q16210DGVR applications.
Can SN74CB3Q16210DGVR be used for analog signal switching, such as audio or sensor signals?
Yes, SN74CB3Q16210DGVR is explicitly qualified for both digital and analog applications, including low-distortion signal gating. Its rail-to-rail switching (0–5 V with 3.3 V VCC), flat 5 Ω ron, and low 4 pF OFF-state capacitance minimize THD and crosstalk - validated in TI's application report SCDA008. It has been deployed in analog multiplexing for sensor front-ends and audio routing, provided signal slew rates and bandwidth remain within the 500 MHz small-signal limit of SN74CB3Q16210DGVR.
Is SN74CB3Q16210DGVR pin-compatible with other members of the CB3Q family?
SN74CB3Q16210DGVR shares the same 48-pin TVSOP (DGV) package and functional pinout with other CB3Q-series devices in identical package variants (e.g., SN74CB3Q3244DGVR), but pin compatibility is not guaranteed across differing channel counts or configurations. The logic diagram and pin map in SCDS166 confirm that SN74CB3Q16210DGVR's 1A1–1A10/1B1–1B10/1OE and 2A1–2A10/2B1–2B10/2OE layout is unique to the 20-bit dual-bank topology. Always verify against specific variant datasheets before substitution.
