Product details
Overview
SN74CB3Q16245 from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit FET bus switch IC designed for high-bandwidth signal routing in low-voltage digital systems. It features dual 8-bit bidirectional channels, 5 Ω typical ON-state resistance (ron), rail-to-rail 0–5 V switching at 3.3 V VCC, and supports partial-power-down via Ioff. It is used in PCI interface isolation and memory interleaving applications requiring minimal propagation delay and low capacitive loading.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CB3Q16245 datasheet, SN74CB3Q16245 pinout, SN74CB3Q16245 application, or SN74CB3Q16245 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 48-pin TVSOP (DGV) package, 2.3–3.6 V supply range, 500 MHz bandwidth capability, 4 pF OFF-state I/O capacitance, and compatibility with TTL/3.3 V/5 V logic levels on control inputs.
Technical Context
The SN74CB3Q16245 implements two independent 8-bit FET-based analog/digital switches with charge-pump gate drive to maintain low, flat ron across voltage and temperature. Each channel is controlled by dedicated OE pins (1OE, 2OE), enabling selective 8-bit or combined 16-bit operation.
Its architecture supports bidirectional, near-zero-delay signal flow with rail-to-rail voltage translation (0–5 V with 3.3 V VCC), 5-V-tolerant I/Os regardless of power state, and Ioff protection that blocks current backflow during partial power-down-critical for hot-swap and mixed-supply system integrity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| VCC Range | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - Enables interoperability with both 2.5 V and 3.3 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| ron (Typ) | 5 Ω - Ensures minimal signal attenuation and distortion for high-speed data paths up to 500 MHz. |
| Cio(OFF) (Typ) | 4 pF - Reduces capacitive loading on buses, preserving signal integrity and timing margins in dense PCB layouts. |
| tpd (Max) | 0.3 ns - Delivers near-instantaneous bidirectional signal transfer, essential for synchronous bus gating and clock distribution. |
| Ioff (Max) | 1 µA - Guarantees robust isolation between powered and unpowered system domains during partial power-down. |
| fOE (Max) | 20 MHz - Supports fast enable/disable cycling for dynamic bus arbitration and power-gated subsystem control. |
| VI/O Range | 0 to 5.5 V - Allows seamless interfacing with legacy 5 V peripherals while operating from 2.5 V/3.3 V supplies. |

Pinout & Package
SN74CB3Q16245DGVR is packaged in a 48-pin TVSOP (DGV) with 0.4 mm pitch, 7.1 mm × 4.4 mm body, and 1.2 mm max height per JEDEC MO-153. Pin 1 is located in Quadrant Q1 per tape-and-reel orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE | Channel enable inputs | Active-low controls for independent 8-bit switch sections; tied to VCC via pullup for power-up high-impedance safety. |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | Data input/output ports (side A) | Bidirectional I/O terminals connected to one side of each 8-bit switch; support 0–5 V signaling. |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | Data input/output ports (side B) | Bidirectional I/O terminals connected to opposite side; electrically identical to A-side with no directionality constraint. |
| VCC | Supply voltage | Single 2.3–3.6 V rail powering internal charge pump and logic; enables 5-V-tolerant I/O operation. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all switch channels and control circuitry; multiple pins reduce ground bounce. |
| NC | No internal connection | Pins 1 and 48 are unconnected; must be left floating or grounded per layout best practices-not used for thermal relief. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail switching | Supports 0–5 V signal translation with 3.3 V VCC or 0–3.3 V with 2.5 V VCC-enables mixed-voltage interconnect without external level shifters. |
| Charge-pump gate drive | Elevates pass-transistor gate voltage to ensure flat, low ron (5 Ω typ) across full I/O voltage swing and temperature range. |
| 5-V-tolerant I/Os | Operates safely with 5 V signals applied to A/B ports even when VCC = 0 V-critical for hot-plug and power sequencing resilience. |
| Undershoot clamp diodes | Integrated diodes on all data and control inputs limit negative transients to –1.8 V, protecting against ESD and signal reflections. |
| Partial-power-down support | Ioff circuitry limits leakage to ≤1 µA when VCC = 0, preventing backdrive damage in multi-rail systems during standby or fault conditions. |
Applications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-isolation bus gate activated only during maintenance windows, presenting high-impedance state during normal operation. Use Value: 4 pF Cio(OFF) and Ioff protection ensure zero signal leakage and no backfeed risk-even when isolated bus is unpowered. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT16245DGVR | Higher ron (~7 Ω typ), no charge pump, 4.5 V max VCC, no Ioff support. | Lacks partial-power-down capability and 5-V-tolerant I/Os under VCC = 0; limited to fully powered systems. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs power-down safety and 5-V tolerance requirements. |
| SN74LVC16245ADGVR | True 16-bit buffer (non-switch), 3-state outputs, 1.65–3.6 V VCC, no rail-to-rail switching. | Provides direction-controlled buffering-not bidirectional analog switching; cannot translate 5 V signals with 2.5 V supply. | Choose only for unidirectional bus driving where voltage translation and Ioff are not required. |
Compared with SN74CB3Q16245DGVR, SN74CBT16245DGVR offers lower cost but sacrifices Ioff protection and 5-V I/O tolerance, while SN74LVC16245ADGVR provides direction-controlled buffering instead of transparent analog switching-making it unsuitable for bidirectional voltage translation or hot-swap isolation.

FAQ
What is the maximum signal frequency supported by the SN74CB3Q16245DGVR?
The SN74CB3Q16245DGVR supports signal paths up to 500 MHz, enabled by its low 5 Ω typical ON-state resistance and 4 pF OFF-state I/O capacitance. This bandwidth is validated under loaded conditions with proper PCB layout and termination; actual system performance depends on trace impedance, load capacitance, and signal edge rates.
Does the SN74CB3Q16245DGVR support 5-V logic levels when powered from 2.5 V?
Yes, the SN74CB3Q16245DGVR supports 0–5 V signaling on its A/B ports even when VCC = 2.5 V, due to its charge-pump-enhanced FET architecture and 5-V-tolerant I/O design. Control inputs (1OE/2OE) also accept 5 V TTL levels regardless of VCC state.
How does the Ioff feature function in the SN74CB3Q16245DGVR during partial power-down?
In the SN74CB3Q16245DGVR, Ioff limits current backflow to ≤1 µA when VCC = 0 V and I/O voltages range from 0 to 5.5 V. This prevents damage to powered system sections and maintains isolation-critical for hot-swap, battery-backed, or multi-rail architectures where subsystems power up/down independently.
Can the SN74CB3Q16245DGVR be used for analog signal switching?
Yes, the SN74CB3Q16245DGVR is specified for both digital and analog applications-including differential signaling and low-distortion gating-due to its rail-to-rail voltage range, flat ron, low Cio(OFF), and absence of body diode conduction. Its FET structure ensures linear, bidirectional analog pass-through with minimal THD.
What is the recommended pull-up resistor value for OE pins on the SN74CB3Q16245DGVR?
The OE pins of the SN74CB3Q16245DGVR should be tied to VCC via a pullup resistor to ensure high-impedance state at power-up. Minimum value is determined by the driver's current-sinking capability; TI recommends ≥1 kΩ for standard CMOS drivers, with 4.7 kΩ commonly used for noise immunity and current limiting.
