Product details
Overview
SN74CB3Q3253PWRE4 from Texas Instruments is a dual 1-of-4 FET multiplexer–demultiplexer bus switch optimized for high-bandwidth digital signal routing. It supports rail-to-rail 0–5-V switching at 2.5-V/3.3-V VCC, delivers 4 Ω typical ON-state resistance, 500 MHz bandwidth, and bidirectional near-zero-delay data flow-enabling low-distortion USB interface and video broadcast signal gating.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CB3Q3253PWRE4 datasheet, SN74CB3Q3253PWRE4 pinout, SN74CB3Q3253PWRE4 application, or SN74CB3Q3253PWRE4 equivalent, key selection criteria include 5-V tolerant I/Os with powered-down operation, Ioff-enabled partial-power-down mode, 3.5 pF typical OFF-state I/O capacitance, and TSSOP-16 package compatibility for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74CB3Q3253PWRE4 integrates two independent 1-of-4 analog/digital multiplexers, each with active-low output enables (1OE, 2OE) and dual select lines (S0, S1) controlling four bidirectional B-port channels per A-port. Its charge-pump-enhanced FET architecture elevates gate voltage to maintain flat ron across 2.3–3.6 V VCC, enabling consistent propagation delay (0.12–0.18 ns) and rail-to-rail signal integrity.
Each channel operates with 5-V tolerant I/Os regardless of VCC state, supported by undershoot clamp diodes and Ioff protection that blocks backflow current during partial power-down. The device achieves 20 MHz maximum switching frequency on control inputs while maintaining Cio(OFF) ≤ 4.5 pF on B ports and ≤11 pF on A ports-critical for minimizing capacitive loading in high-speed buses.
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 - Ensures minimal insertion loss and signal attenuation in high-frequency data paths. |
| Bandwidth | Up to 500 MHz - Supports full-rate USB 2.0 (480 Mbps), PCIe Gen1, and HD video signal routing. |
| Cio(OFF) | 3.5 pF (B port), 8–11 pF (A port) - Reduces crosstalk and maintains signal fidelity in dense parallel bus environments. |
| Propagation Delay | 0.12–0.18 ns - Enables sub-nanosecond timing alignment critical for synchronous multi-channel systems. |
| Ioff Support | Yes - Prevents damaging current flow when VCC = 0 V, allowing safe hot-insertion and mixed-voltage board designs. |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM, 1000-V CDM - Meets industrial-grade robustness requirements without external protection. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-16 package (5.00 mm × 4.40 mm body size), thermally enhanced with exposed thermal pad; RoHS-compliant, NIPDAU lead finish, MSL Level-1 (260°C, unlimited reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE | Active-low enable for Channel 1 | Drives all four 1Bx switches; ties to GND via pull-down or microcontroller GPIO for channel activation. |
| S1, S0 | Binary select inputs for both muxes | Set 1A↔1Bx or 2A↔2Bx path (L/L = B1, L/H = B2, H/L = B3, H/H = B4); TTL/CMOS compatible. |
| 1A, 2A | Common input/output ports | Bidirectional data hubs-connect to host controller or processor bus; support 0–5-V swing regardless of VCC. |
| 1B1–1B4, 2B1–2B4 | Channel I/O terminals | Four independent bidirectional paths per mux; low Cio(OFF) isolates inactive channels from signal integrity degradation. |
| VCC | Power supply | 2.3–3.6 V only; requires 0.1-µF bypass capacitor placed adjacent to Pin 16 for noise suppression. |
| GND | Reference ground | Single ground plane connection; critical for stable ron and ESD performance-must be low-impedance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail 0–5-V switching | Operates with 3.3-V VCC to pass 5-V signals intact-eliminates need for external level translators in mixed-voltage systems. |
| 5-V tolerant I/Os (powered up/down) | Withstands 5.5-V I/O stress even when VCC = 0 V-enables safe interconnection between live and unpowered subsystems. |
| Low and flat ON-state resistance | ron = 4 Ω typical, <10 Ω max over full VCC/temperature range-minimizes voltage drop and timing skew across channels. |
| Bidirectional near-zero propagation delay | tpd = 0.12–0.18 ns-preserves signal edge integrity for high-speed serial and parallel interfaces without added latency. |
| Ioff partial-power-down protection | Blocks >99% of backflow current when VCC = 0 V-prevents bus contention and latch-up during hot-swap or power sequencing. |
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 | No charge pump; ron = 6 Ω typical, max 5-V tolerance only when powered; no Ioff. | Lacks powered-down 5-V tolerance and partial-power-down safety-unsuitable for hot-swap or mixed-power systems. | Choose only if cost sensitivity outweighs robustness requirements and VCC remains always active. |
| TS3A226AEYFFR | Single-supply 1.65–3.6 V; ron = 0.7 Ω typical; 5-V tolerant I/Os; integrated ESD (±8 kV HBM); smaller 16-pin UQFN. | Higher bandwidth (800 MHz), lower ron, but lacks dual independent OE controls-requires shared enable logic. | Prefer for ultra-low-loss, space-constrained designs where independent channel control is not required. |
Compared with SN74CB3Q3253PWRE4, SN74CBT3253PWR offers lower cost but sacrifices powered-down I/O tolerance and Ioff protection, while TS3A226AEYFFR delivers superior ron and bandwidth in a smaller package but removes per-channel output enables-making SN74CB3Q3253PWRE4 optimal for independent dual-mux control in industrial and broadcast systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the SN74CB3Q3253PWRE4?
The SN74CB3Q3253PWRE4 supports up to 500 MHz bandwidth on its data path, verified under load conditions with 30 pF capacitance and 50 Ω source impedance. This enables full-rate USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and HD-SDI signal routing without degradation. Control inputs operate up to 20 MHz, sufficient for fast channel selection in real-time systems.
Does the SN74CB3Q3253PWRE4 support 5-V signals when VCC is powered down?
Yes, the SN74CB3Q3253PWRE4 maintains 5-V tolerance on all I/O pins-even when VCC = 0 V-due to integrated clamp diodes and Ioff circuitry. This allows safe interconnection between live 5-V buses and unpowered subsystems, a key requirement for hot-plug and partial-power-down architectures.
What is the purpose of the charge pump in the SN74CB3Q3253PWRE4?
The charge pump in the SN74CB3Q3253PWRE4 elevates the gate voltage of internal FET pass transistors to ensure low and flat ON-state resistance (ron ≈ 4 Ω) across the full 2.3–3.6 V VCC range. This eliminates ron variation with supply voltage, enabling consistent signal integrity and timing behavior in mixed-voltage designs.
Can the SN74CB3Q3253PWRE4 be used for analog signal switching?
Yes, the SN74CB3Q3253PWRE4 is explicitly qualified for both digital and analog applications-including low-distortion signal gating and differential bus isolation. Its rail-to-rail 0–5-V capability, low ron, and 3.5 pF B-port OFF-capacitance make it suitable for audio clocks, video sync signals, and other precision analog paths up to 100 MHz.
What is the thermal performance of the SN74CB3Q3253PWRE4 in TSSOP-16 package?
In its TSSOP-16 (PW) package, the SN74CB3Q3253PWRE4 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 112.7°C/W and junction-to-board (RθJB) of 57.85°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 per JEDEC JESD51 standards.
