Product details
Overview
SN74CB3Q3253DGVR from Texas Instruments is a dual 1-of-4 FET bus switch optimized for high-bandwidth signal routing in 2.5-V to 3.3-V systems. It provides bidirectional rail-to-rail switching (0–5 V with 3.3-V VCC), 4 Ω typical ON-state resistance, <0.18 ns propagation delay, and 500 MHz bandwidth-enabling low-distortion USB interface and video broadcast signal gating.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CB3Q3253DGVR datasheet, SN74CB3Q3253DGVR pinout, SN74CB3Q3253DGVR application, or SN74CB3Q3253DGVR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5-V tolerant I/Os during power-up/down, Ioff-enabled partial-power-down operation, and TVSOP-16 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74CB3Q3253DGVR integrates two independent 1-of-4 multiplexer/demultiplexer channels, each controlled by active-low OE (1OE/2OE) and 2-bit binary select (S0/S1). Its charge-pump gate drive ensures flat ron across voltage and temperature, enabling consistent signal integrity up to 500 MHz.
Each channel supports bidirectional data flow with near-zero propagation delay, 3.5 pF typical OFF-state I/O capacitance, and undershoot clamp diodes on all control inputs. The device operates from 2.3 V to 3.6 V and maintains 5-V tolerance on I/O ports regardless of VCC state.
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 without level shifters. |
| ron (Typical) | 4 Ω at VCC = 2.5 V - Minimizes insertion loss and voltage drop in high-speed analog/digital signal paths. |
| Bandwidth | Up to 500 MHz - Supports HDMI, USB 2.0, and high-definition video signal routing without attenuation. |
| Cio(OFF) | 3.5 pF (B port) - Reduces capacitive loading on source/sink nodes to preserve signal edge rate and timing margin. |
| Ioff | 1 µA at VCC = 0 - Prevents backflow current during system power sequencing, enabling safe hot-swap operation. |
| Propagation Delay | 0.12–0.18 ns - Enables sub-nanosecond timing alignment critical for parallel bus and clock distribution applications. |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM - Meets industrial-grade robustness requirements without external protection circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
SN74CB3Q3253DGVR uses a 16-pin TVSOP (DGV) package measuring 3.60 mm × 4.40 mm with exposed thermal pad, optimized for automated assembly and thermal dissipation in space-constrained designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE | Active-low output enable | Individually disables Channel 1 or Channel 2; high-impedance state isolates A/B ports when asserted high. |
| S0, S1 | Binary channel select | Configures 1-of-4 path selection per channel (L/L → B1, L/H → B2, H/L → B3, H/H → B4). |
| 1A, 2A | Common input/output port | Bidirectional hub connecting to system bus or controller; supports rail-to-rail voltage translation. |
| 1B1–1B4, 2B1–2B4 | Channel I/O terminals | Four selectable bidirectional paths per channel; 5-V tolerant with no external clamping required. |
| VCC | Power supply | Supplies internal charge pump and logic; powers I/O buffers while maintaining 5-V I/O tolerance. |
| GND | Ground reference | Return path for all internal circuits and I/O current; must be low-impedance for signal integrity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail switching | Supports 0–5 V signals with 3.3-V VCC or 0–3.3 V with 2.5-V VCC, eliminating need for external level translators. |
| 5-V tolerant I/Os | Operates safely with 5-V signals applied to any I/O pin regardless of VCC state (powered up/down), simplifying mixed-voltage system design. |
| Charge-pump gate drive | Elevates pass-transistor gate voltage to ensure flat ron over full operating range, preserving signal fidelity across temperature and voltage. |
| Low OFF-state capacitance | 3.5 pF (B port) minimizes crosstalk and loading on adjacent traces, critical for high-frequency bus isolation. |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Prevents damaging current flow between powered and unpowered system domains during power sequencing or hot-swap events. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FET bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT3253PWR | Higher ron (7 Ω typical), no charge pump, 3.3-V only operation, TSSOP-16 package. | Lacks 5-V I/O tolerance and rail-to-rail capability; unsuitable for mixed-voltage or hot-swap scenarios. | Choose for cost-sensitive 3.3-V-only systems where 500 MHz bandwidth is not required. |
| TS3DS10224RGTR | Single 1-of-4 switch, 3.5 Ω ron, 3.3-V operation, VQFN-16, no Ioff support. | Not dual-channel; lacks partial-power-down protection and 5-V tolerance on I/O pins. | Use when only one multiplexer channel is needed and board space permits VQFN packaging. |
Compared with SN74CB3Q3253DGVR, SN74CBT3253PWR trades bandwidth and voltage flexibility for lower cost, while TS3DS10224RGTR offers comparable ron in a smaller footprint but sacrifices dual-channel integration and Ioff safety.

FAQ
What is the maximum signal frequency supported by the SN74CB3Q3253DGVR?
The SN74CB3Q3253DGVR supports up to 500 MHz bandwidth, verified under load conditions with 30 pF capacitance and 50 Ω source impedance. This enables reliable operation in USB 2.0, HDMI, and high-definition video signal paths without measurable attenuation or phase distortion. The SN74CB3Q3253DGVR achieves this via low 4 Ω ron and 3.5 pF Cio(OFF), minimizing RC time constants that limit high-frequency response.
Does the SN74CB3Q3253DGVR support 5-V signals when powered from 2.5 V?
Yes, the SN74CB3Q3253DGVR supports 0–5 V signals on all I/O pins (A and B ports) regardless of VCC voltage (2.3–3.6 V), including during power-down. This 5-V tolerance is achieved through internal clamping and process design-not external components-making the SN74CB3Q3253DGVR ideal for mixed-voltage systems like legacy peripheral interfacing or hot-plug expansion slots.
How does the charge pump in the SN74CB3Q3253DGVR improve performance?
The integrated charge pump elevates the gate voltage of the internal FET pass transistors, ensuring flat ON-state resistance (ron) across the full 0–5 V I/O swing and operating temperature range. This eliminates ron variation-induced signal distortion and preserves timing margins-critical for the SN74CB3Q3253DGVR's role in high-fidelity video and USB 2.0 applications where signal integrity is non-negotiable.
Can the SN74CB3Q3253DGVR be used in partial-power-down mode?
Yes, the SN74CB3Q3253DGVR features Ioff circuitry that limits leakage to 1 µA when VCC = 0 V, preventing damaging back-current flow between powered and unpowered system domains. This allows safe use in hot-swap modules, modular test equipment, and power-gated subsystems-key reliability advantages built into the SN74CB3Q3253DGVR's architecture.
What is the thermal performance of the SN74CB3Q3253DGVR in TVSOP package?
In its TVSOP-16 (DGV) package, the SN74CB3Q3253DGVR has a junction-to-board thermal resistance (RθJB) of 57.8 °C/W and junction-to-ambient (RθJA) of 126 °C/W. With proper PCB copper pour under the thermal pad, it sustains continuous operation at 85°C ambient while delivering 64 mA per channel-validated in TI's SCDS145C datasheet under recommended operating conditions for the SN74CB3Q3253DGVR.
