Product details
Overview
SN74CB3Q3305PW from Texas Instruments is a dual 1-bit FET bus switch optimized for high-bandwidth, level-shifting signal routing in mixed-voltage systems. It supports bidirectional 0–5 V signal switching with 3.3 V VCC, delivers 3 Ω typical ON-state resistance, <0.15 ns propagation delay, and 500 MHz bandwidth - enabling use in USB interfaces, optical networking backplanes, and broadband communications equipment.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CB3Q3305PW datasheet, SN74CB3Q3305PW pinout, SN74CB3Q3305PW application, or SN74CB3Q3305PW equivalent, key selection criteria include 5-V-tolerant I/Os under powered-up/down conditions, Ioff-enabled partial-power-down isolation, low 3.5 pF OFF-state capacitance, and TSSOP-8 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74CB3Q3305PW integrates two independent 1-bit switches, each controlled by dedicated OE inputs (1OE, 2OE), enabling flexible channel enable/disable sequencing. Its charge-pump-assisted gate drive maintains flat ron (3–8 Ω) across 2.3–3.6 V VCC and –40°C to 85°C, ensuring consistent signal integrity in voltage-translating paths.
Each switch supports true bidirectional operation with near-zero propagation delay (<0.15 ns), 5-V-tolerant I/Os regardless of VCC state, and Ioff protection that blocks current backflow during power-down - critical for hot-swap and partial-power-down system architectures.
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 supporting 5 V signaling on I/Os |
| ron (Typical) | 3 Ω at VCC = 3.3 V - minimizes voltage drop and distortion for high-speed digital signals up to 500 MHz |
| Cio(OFF) | 3.5 pF typical - reduces capacitive loading on buses, preserving signal rise/fall times and impedance matching |
| Propagation Delay | 0.15 ns max at 3.3 V - supports sub-nanosecond timing budgets in DDR, PCIe, and USB 2.0 signal paths |
| I/O Voltage Range | 0 V to 5.5 V - allows seamless interfacing between 1.8 V/2.5 V/3.3 V controllers and 5 V peripherals without external level shifters |
| fOE Max | 20 MHz - permits rapid channel enable/disable cycling for dynamic bus arbitration and power gating |
| Ioff | 1 µA at VCC = 0 V - ensures robust isolation and prevents leakage-induced latch-up during partial power-down |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-8 (PW) package: 3.00 mm × 6.10 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch, surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1 (260°C peak reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE | Input | Active-high enable for Channel 1 (1A ↔ 1B); ties to GND via pulldown resistor for power-up high-impedance safety |
| 1A, 1B | I/O | Bidirectional data ports for Channel 1; both tolerate 0–5.5 V regardless of VCC state |
| GND | Power | Ground reference for internal charge pump and switch biasing; must be low-inductance connection |
| VCC | Power | Supply input (2.3–3.6 V); requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
| 2OE | Input | Active-high enable for Channel 2 (2A ↔ 2B); independent control enables staggered channel activation |
| 2A, 2B | I/O | Bidirectional data ports for Channel 2; identical electrical specs and overvoltage tolerance as Channel 1 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5-V-tolerant I/Os with VCC powered or unpowered | Enables safe hot-plug operation and mixed-voltage domain bridging without external clamping or translation circuitry |
| Charge-pump-enhanced gate drive | Maintains low, flat ron across full VCC and temperature range - eliminates signal attenuation variation in wide-temp applications |
| Independent dual-channel OE control | Allows per-channel power gating and dynamic bus segmentation - essential for low-power mode partitioning in networking SoCs |
| Ioff protection | Prevents damaging back-current flow when VCC is off, meeting JESD78 Class II latch-up immunity (>100 mA) |
| Low 3.5 pF OFF-state capacitance | Minimizes crosstalk and signal degradation in high-frequency parallel buses (e.g., address/data multiplexing in optical modules) |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT3305CPW | Higher ron (5 Ω typ), no charge pump, lower bandwidth (300 MHz), same TSSOP-8 footprint | Lacks 5-V tolerance during power-down; unsuitable for hot-swap or partial-power-down systems | Select only if cost sensitivity outweighs Ioff and bandwidth requirements |
| TS3A24159DGSR | Lower ron (0.7 Ω), 3.6 V max VCC, 3.6 V max I/O, no Ioff, 10-pin VSSOP | Not 5-V tolerant; requires external protection diodes for >3.6 V signals; incompatible pinout | Use only for strictly 3.3 V-only systems where ultra-low ron is prioritized over voltage flexibility |
Compared with SN74CB3Q3305PW, SN74CBT3305CPW offers lower cost but sacrifices Ioff protection and bandwidth headroom, while TS3A24159DGSR provides superior ron yet lacks the 5-V tolerance and power-down safety needed in mixed-voltage telecom infrastructure.

FAQ
What is the maximum signal frequency supported by the SN74CB3Q3305PW?
The SN74CB3Q3305PW supports up to 500 MHz signal bandwidth, verified under load conditions with typical ron and Cio(OFF). This performance is enabled by its charge-pump architecture and low 3.5 pF OFF-state capacitance, making SN74CB3Q3305PW suitable for USB 2.0, EPON, and high-speed serial data routing where signal integrity is critical.
Does the SN74CB3Q3305PW support level shifting between 1.8 V and 5 V domains?
Yes - the SN74CB3Q3305PW supports bidirectional level shifting: with VCC = 2.5 V, it switches 0–3.3 V signals; with VCC = 3.3 V, it handles 0–5 V signals. Its 5-V-tolerant I/Os operate safely whether VCC is powered or fully off, making SN74CB3Q3305PW ideal for mixed-voltage system interconnects without external translators.
How does the Ioff feature protect the SN74CB3Q3305PW during partial power-down?
The Ioff circuitry in the SN74CB3Q3305PW actively blocks current backflow through the switch when VCC = 0 V, limiting leakage to 1 µA. This prevents damage to upstream/downstream components and meets JESD78 Class II latch-up immunity (>100 mA), ensuring SN74CB3Q3305PW remains safe and functional in hot-swap or power-gated subsystems.
Can the SN74CB3Q3305PW be used with 2.5 V VCC while passing 5 V signals?
No - with 2.5 V VCC, the SN74CB3Q3305PW supports only 0–3.3 V I/O signaling, as specified in the datasheet. For 5 V signal pass-through, VCC must be ≥3.0 V (recommended 3.3 V). This limitation is inherent to the charge-pump design and is explicitly defined in SN74CB3Q3305PW's recommended operating conditions.
What is the recommended bypass capacitor for the SN74CB3Q3305PW VCC pin?
A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor is required directly adjacent to the VCC pin of the SN74CB3Q3305PW, as specified in Section 10 of the datasheet. This capacitor stabilizes the internal charge pump and suppresses high-frequency noise; placement within 2 mm of the pin is critical to maintain SN74CB3Q3305PW's 500 MHz performance and low-noise switching behavior.
