Product details
Overview
SN74CB3Q16211DGVR from Texas Instruments is a 24-bit, 56-pin TVSOP low-voltage FET bus switch optimized for high-bandwidth digital signal routing. It supports rail-to-rail switching (0–5 V with 3.3-V VCC), delivers 5 Ω typical ON-state resistance, enables bidirectional data flow with <0.25 ns propagation delay, and operates across 2.3–3.6 V supply range-ideal for PCIe interconnect isolation and memory channel multiplexing in embedded PC and AV receiver systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CB3Q16211DGVR datasheet, SN74CB3Q16211DGVR pinout, SN74CB3Q16211DGVR application, or SN74CB3Q16211DGVR equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (TVSOP-56), confirmed electrical specs (ron = 5 Ω typ, Cio(OFF) = 4 pF typ, fOE = 20 MHz max), functional truth table (OE-controlled 12-bit dual-bus enable), and validated alternative parts for system-level signal gating and bus isolation use cases.
Technical Context
The SN74CB3Q16211DGVR implements a charge-pump-enhanced FET architecture to maintain flat, low ron across its full 0–5 V I/O voltage range while powered from 2.5 V or 3.3 V. Its dual 12-bit configuration allows independent control of two bus segments via separate 1OE and 2OE inputs, supporting both 24-bit unified switching and split-bus operation.
Each switch path features undershoot clamp diodes on all I/Os and control pins, 5-V-tolerant I/Os regardless of VCC state, and Ioff protection enabling safe partial-power-down operation. The device meets JESD 78 Class II latch-up immunity (>100 mA) and JESD 22 ESD ratings (2000-V HBM, 1000-V CDM).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FET bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT16211DGVR | Higher ron (7 Ω typ), no charge pump, 2.5–5.5-V VCC range, lower bandwidth (≤300 MHz). | Less suitable for >400-MHz signaling; lacks 5-V-tolerant I/Os when unpowered. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs bandwidth and unpowered I/O tolerance requirements. |
| SN74LVC1G3157DCKR | Single-channel SPDT, 1.65–5.5-V VCC, ron = 6 Ω typ, Cio(OFF) = 5.5 pF - not pin-compatible. | Only replaces one switch channel; requires 24 instances for full SN74CB3Q16211DGVR functionality. | Use only for prototyping or ultra-low-volume designs where board space permits discrete channel replication. |
Compared with SN74CB3Q16211DGVR, SN74CBT16211DGVR trades bandwidth and unpowered I/O robustness for broader supply flexibility, while SN74LVC1G3157DCKR offers voltage-range versatility at the cost of integration density and signal-path consistency across 24 channels.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the SN74CB3Q16211DGVR?
The SN74CB3Q16211DGVR supports a maximum switching frequency of 20 MHz on its OE control inputs under recommended conditions (VCC = 3.3 V ± 0.3 V). Its high-bandwidth data path enables signal transmission up to 500 MHz, verified by TI's characterization of insertion loss and eye diagram integrity at that rate. This makes SN74CB3Q16211DGVR suitable for PCIe Gen1/Gen2 and DDR2/DDR3 applications where signal fidelity is critical.
Does the SN74CB3Q16211DGVR support 5-V tolerant I/Os when the device is unpowered?
Yes, the SN74CB3Q16211DGVR maintains 5-V tolerance on all data I/O pins (A and B ports) regardless of whether VCC is applied or not. This is explicitly guaranteed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table (VI/O = –0.5 V to 7 V) and reinforced by the "5-V tolerant I/Os with device powered up or powered down" feature statement. This capability ensures safe hot-plug operation and prevents damage during power sequencing mismatches in multi-rail systems containing SN74CB3Q16211DGVR.
What is the purpose of the charge pump in the SN74CB3Q16211DGVR?
The integrated charge pump in the SN74CB3Q16211DGVR elevates the gate voltage of each pass-FET above VCC, ensuring strong turn-on across the full 0–5 V I/O voltage range-even when VCC is as low as 2.5 V. This architecture delivers flat, low ON-state resistance (5 Ω typical) independent of signal swing, directly enabling rail-to-rail switching performance and minimizing propagation delay variation. Without this charge pump, conventional FET switches would exhibit rising ron near VCC limits, degrading SN74CB3Q16211DGVR's high-speed signal integrity.
How does the Ioff feature protect the SN74CB3Q16211DGVR during partial-power-down scenarios?
The Ioff circuitry in the SN74CB3Q16211DGVR actively disables current flow through the switch channels when VCC = 0 V, limiting reverse current to ≤1 µA even with up to 5.5 V applied to I/O pins. This prevents damaging back-current from live buses into an unpowered device-a common failure mode during board-level power sequencing or hot-swap events. The specification is validated per JESD 78 Class II latch-up testing (>100 mA), confirming robustness in real-world SN74CB3Q16211DGVR deployments.
Can the SN74CB3Q16211DGVR be used for analog signal switching, such as audio or video paths?
Yes, the SN74CB3Q16211DGVR is explicitly qualified for both digital and analog applications including "differential signal interface" and "low-distortion signal gating", as stated in its Features section. Its low and flat ron (5 Ω), low OFF-capacitance (4 pF), and rail-to-rail voltage handling (0–5 V) preserve analog waveform fidelity. TI application report SCBA004 confirms suitability for audio line-level signals and TMDS video paths-making SN74CB3Q16211DGVR appropriate for AV receivers and DLP projector video routing where harmonic distortion and crosstalk must be minimized.
