Product details
Overview
SN74CB3Q3245ZQNR from Texas Instruments is a high-bandwidth 32-bit FET bus switch with four independent 8-bit sections, rail-to-rail 0–5-V switching at 3.3-V VCC, 5-Ω typical ON-state resistance, 4-pF typical OFF-state I/O capacitance, and bidirectional operation supporting PCI, memory interleaving, and bus isolation applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CB3Q3245ZQNR datasheet, SN74CB3Q3245ZQNR pinout, SN74CB3Q3245ZQNR application, or SN74CB3Q3245ZQNR equivalent, key selection criteria include partial-power-down (Ioff) support, 20-MHz max OE switching frequency, −40°C to 85°C industrial temperature range, and LFBGA-48 (ZKE) Pb-free package compatibility with high-speed digital signal gating.
Technical Context
The SN74CB3Q3245ZQNR implements charge-pump-enhanced FET switches per channel to maintain flat, low ON-state resistance across input voltage (0–5 V) and supply (2.3–3.6 V) ranges. Its internal enable logic drives all 32 data paths synchronously via four independent OE inputs (1OE–4OE), enabling flexible partitioning as one 32-bit, two 16-bit, or four 8-bit switches.
Each switch supports undervoltage-tolerant I/Os with built-in undershoot clamp diodes, 5-V-tolerant operation regardless of VCC state (powered up/down), and isolation during power-off via Ioff circuitry that limits backflow current to ≤1 µA at VCC = 0 V.
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 I/O tolerance. |
| ron (Typical) | 5 Ω - Ensures minimal voltage drop and near-zero propagation delay (0.18 ns) for high-fidelity signal pass-through. |
| Cio(OFF) | 4 pF typical - Reduces capacitive loading on buses, preserving signal integrity in high-speed parallel interfaces. |
| fOE Max | 20 MHz - Supports fast enable/disable cycling for dynamic bus segmentation in real-time systems. |
| Ioff | 1 µA at VCC = 0 V - Guarantees safe partial-power-down operation without damaging current flow between live and unpowered subsystems. |
| VI/O Range | 0 V to 5.5 V - Allows seamless interfacing with mixed-voltage systems including 1.2-V, 1.8-V, 2.5-V, 3.3-V, and 5-V signaling standards. |
| Propagation Delay | 0.18 ns (VCC = 2.5 V) - Delivers sub-nanosecond timing for time-critical data gating in broadband communications. |

LFBGA-48 (ZKE) package, 6 mm × 6 mm, 0.8-mm pitch, Pb-free, moisture sensitivity level 3. Pin count: 48 terminals. Package supports automated optical inspection and fine-pitch PCB assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A1–1A8, 1B1–1B8 | Data I/O Port A/B for Section 1 | Bidirectional signal path; no direction control - A and B ports electrically interchangeable when 1OE = L. |
| 1OE | Output Enable for Section 1 | Active-low control; pulls internal switch gate to enable conduction between 1A and 1B ports. |
| 2A1–2A8, 2B1–2B8 | Data I/O Port A/B for Section 2 | Independent 8-bit bus segment; isolated from other sections when respective OE is high. |
| 2OE | Output Enable for Section 2 | Enables/disables only Section 2; allows granular power and signal domain control. |
| 3A1–3A8, 3B1–3B8 | Data I/O Port A/B for Section 3 | Supports differential pair routing or split-bus configurations due to symmetrical pin layout. |
| 3OE | Output Enable for Section 3 | Permits selective activation of memory channels or peripheral interfaces without affecting others. |
| 4A1–4A8, 4B1–4B8 | Data I/O Port A/B for Section 4 | Final 8-bit segment; enables full 32-bit bus isolation when all OEs are controlled independently. |
| 4OE | Output Enable for Section 4 | Allows hot-plug or firmware-controlled bus reconfiguration in embedded controllers. |
| VCC | Supply Voltage | Single 2.3–3.6-V rail powers all logic and switch circuitry; no auxiliary supplies required. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Eight dedicated ground pins distributed across package corners and center for low-inductance return paths. |
| NC | No Internal Connection | Four NC pads (pins A1, C1, H1, J1 per top-view drawing) - must remain unconnected on PCB. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail 0–5-V switching at 3.3-V VCC | Eliminates level-shifter ICs in mixed-voltage systems such as DDR memory interfaces and legacy PCI bridges. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTLV3245PWR | Lower VCC range (2.3–3.6 V same), but no charge pump → ron = 7 Ω typical, Cio(OFF) = 5 pF, fOE = 15 MHz max. | Less suitable for >400-MHz data paths due to higher ron and capacitance; acceptable for 100–200-MHz memory expansion. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs marginal performance loss and full 500-MHz bandwidth is not required. |
| PI3CH485LE | Same 32-bit architecture, but 1.8–5.5-V VCC range, ron = 6 Ω typical, Cio(OFF) = 4.5 pF, no Ioff support. | Lacks partial-power-down protection; requires external power sequencing for safe multi-rail operation. | Choose for wider supply flexibility in 1.8-V–5-V mixed-signal systems where Ioff is managed externally. |
Compared with SN74CB3Q3245ZQNR, SN74CBTLV3245PWR trades 20% higher ON-resistance and reduced switching speed for lower unit cost, while PI3CH485LE extends voltage range at the expense of Ioff safety - making SN74CB3Q3245ZQNR optimal for industrial-grade hot-pluggable bus architectures demanding both performance and robustness.

FAQ
What is the maximum data bandwidth supported by the SN74CB3Q3245ZQNR?
The SN74CB3Q3245ZQNR supports up to 500 MHz high-bandwidth data paths, validated by TI's characterization of the CB3Q family. This performance stems from its 5-Ω typical ON-state resistance and 4-pF typical OFF-state I/O capacitance, which jointly minimize RC delay and signal distortion. The SN74CB3Q3245ZQNR achieves this bandwidth while maintaining rail-to-rail 0–5-V switching at 3.3-V VCC, making it suitable for PCI Express Gen 1–2 sideband and DDR2 memory channel applications.
Does the SN74CB3Q3245ZQNR support partial-power-down operation?
Yes, the SN74CB3Q3245ZQNR fully supports partial-power-down operation via its Ioff circuitry. When VCC = 0 V, Ioff limits current backflow to ≤1 µA even with 0–5.5-V signals applied to I/O ports. This feature ensures safe isolation between powered and unpowered subsystems - critical in hot-pluggable modules, battery-backed peripherals, and modular computing platforms where SN74CB3Q3245ZQNR is deployed for bus segmentation.
What is the pin-compatible replacement for SN74CB3Q3245ZQNR in LFBGA-48?
There is no documented pin-compatible replacement for SN74CB3Q3245ZQNR in the LFBGA-48 (ZKE) package. While SN74CB3Q3245GKER shares identical pinout and functionality, it uses the GKE package (non-Pb-free). The SN74CB3Q3245ZQNR is uniquely specified with Pb-free ZKE packaging and −40°C to 85°C operation. Substituting other variants requires verification of thermal profile compatibility, solder paste specification, and JEDEC moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) compliance for the SN74CB3Q3245ZQNR.
How does the charge-pump architecture in SN74CB3Q3245ZQNR improve switching performance?
The charge-pump architecture in SN74CB3Q3245ZQNR elevates the gate voltage of the internal FET pass transistors above VCC, ensuring strong enhancement-mode conduction across the full 0–5-V I/O voltage range. This results in flat 5-Ω typical ON-state resistance independent of input voltage - unlike standard FET switches whose ron rises sharply near rail extremes. Consequently, the SN74CB3Q3245ZQNR delivers consistent sub-ns propagation delay and minimal signal attenuation, directly enabling its 500-MHz bandwidth rating.
Can the SN74CB3Q3245ZQNR be used for analog signal switching?
Yes, the SN74CB3Q3245ZQNR supports both digital and analog applications, as explicitly stated in its datasheet. Its low and flat ON-state resistance (5 Ω typical), low OFF-state capacitance (4 pF), and rail-to-rail signal handling (0–5 V) make it suitable for low-distortion analog signal gating - such as audio routing, sensor multiplexing, and test equipment signal path selection. However, it is not optimized for precision DC accuracy or ultra-low leakage; for those requirements, dedicated analog switches like TMUX series should be evaluated alongside SN74CB3Q3245ZQNR.
