Product details
Overview
SN74CB3Q3305 from Texas Instruments is a dual 1-bit FET bus switch optimized for high-bandwidth, level-translating signal routing in mixed-voltage systems. It provides bidirectional data flow with 3 Ω typical ON-state resistance, 500 MHz bandwidth support, and 5-V tolerant I/Os while powered from 2.3 V to 3.6 V - enabling use in USB interface isolation and optical networking backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CB3Q3305 datasheet, SN74CB3Q3305 pinout, SN74CB3Q3305 application, or SN74CB3Q3305 equivalent, key selection criteria include its flat ron over voltage/temperature, Ioff-enabled partial-power-down protection, low 3.5 pF OFF-state capacitance, and dual independent OE control for channel-level switching in broadband communications infrastructure.
Technical Context
The SN74CB3Q3305 implements two independent FET-based analog switches, each controlled by dedicated OE inputs (1OE, 2OE), supporting true bidirectional signal routing without direction pins. Its internal charge pump elevates gate voltage to maintain low and flat ON-state resistance across the full 2.3–3.6 V VCC range and –40°C to 85°C operating temperature.
Each switch supports 0–5 V signaling on I/O ports regardless of VCC (e.g., 0–5 V with 3.3 V VCC), enabled by robust 5-V-tolerant I/O structures and undershoot clamp diodes. The device achieves near-zero propagation delay (<0.15 ns) and supports up to 20 MHz OE toggle frequency, making it suitable for high-speed serial link isolation and hot-swap-capable backplane interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - enables operation in both 2.5-V and 3.3-V system domains with margin |
| ron (typ) | 3 Ω - ensures minimal insertion loss and signal integrity for high-frequency signals up to 500 MHz |
| Cio(OFF) (typ) | 3.5 pF - reduces capacitive loading on buses, preserving edge rates and minimizing crosstalk |
| Ioff | 1 µA at VCC = 0 V - prevents backflow current during partial power-down, protecting upstream/downstream circuitry |
| Propagation Delay | 0.15 ns max at 3.3 V - supports sub-nanosecond timing-critical applications like PCIe Gen1/2 lane isolation |
| OE Toggle Frequency | 20 MHz max - allows dynamic channel enable/disable in real-time protocol-aware switching |
| I/O Voltage Range | 0 V to 5.5 V - enables seamless interfacing between 1.2 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains |
Pinout & Package
SN74CB3Q3305 is available in TSSOP-8 (PW) and VSSOP-8 (DCU) packages. Both are 8-pin surface-mount packages with identical pinout and thermal performance characteristics per JEDEC MO-153 and MO-178 standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE | Active-high enable for Channel 1 | Controls connection between 1A and 1B; high = ON (low-Z path), low = OFF (high-Z isolation) |
| 1A, 1B | Bidirectional data I/O ports for Channel 1 | Interchangeable signal paths; no directionality - supports voltage translation in either direction |
| 2OE | Active-high enable for Channel 2 | Independent control of second switch; enables time-multiplexed or parallel dual-channel routing |
| 2A, 2B | Bidirectional data I/O ports for Channel 2 | Electrically isolated from Channel 1; supports separate voltage domain bridging |
| GND | Power ground reference | Common return for all internal circuitry and I/O clamp diodes; must be low-inductance connection |
| VCC | Positive supply input | Powers internal charge pump and control logic; bypass capacitor required per TI layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Charge-pump-enhanced FET switch | Maintains flat 3–8 Ω ron across full VCC (2.3–3.6 V) and temperature range, eliminating signal attenuation drift |
| 5-V tolerant I/O with VCC = 0 V | Enables safe hot-insertion and partial-power-down operation without damaging connected 5-V peripherals |
| Independent dual-channel OE control | Allows selective isolation of individual data lanes (e.g., USB D+/D− or PCIe TX/RX pairs) without affecting adjacent channels |
| Low 3.5 pF OFF-state capacitance | Minimizes stub effects and reflections on high-speed traces, critical for maintaining >1 GHz signal integrity margins |
| Undershoot clamp diodes on all I/O and control pins | Protects against negative transients down to –1.8 V, meeting robustness requirements for industrial and telecom environments |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT3305CPWRE4 | Lower bandwidth (200 MHz), higher ron (7 Ω typ), no charge pump - consumes less quiescent current (0.1 mA) | Suitable for lower-speed industrial I/O expansion where power efficiency outweighs speed | Select when 500 MHz bandwidth and flat ron are not required; verify timing margins at target data rate |
| TS3USB30E | Dedicated USB 2.0 switch with integrated ESD protection (8-kV HBM), fixed 3.3-V only operation, no Ioff support | Optimized for USB-specific compliance (eye diagram, jitter), lacks multi-voltage flexibility | Prefer for USB-native designs requiring certified ESD robustness; avoid if mixed-voltage or partial-power-down is needed |
Compared with SN74CB3Q3305, SN74CBT3305CPWRE4 trades bandwidth and ron flatness for lower ICC, while TS3USB30E adds USB-specific features but sacrifices voltage flexibility and Ioff safety - making SN74CB3Q3305 the optimal choice for general-purpose, high-fidelity, mixed-voltage signal routing.

FAQ
What is the maximum signal bandwidth supported by the SN74CB3Q3305?
The SN74CB3Q3305 supports up to 500 MHz signal bandwidth, verified under typical operating conditions (VCC = 3.3 V, TA = 25°C). This capability stems from its low 3 Ω typical ON-state resistance and 3.5 pF OFF-state capacitance, which jointly preserve signal integrity for high-speed serial protocols including USB 2.0 and EPON physical layers. Bandwidth may decrease with increased trace capacitance or reduced VCC.
Does the SN74CB3Q3305 support level translation between different voltage domains?
Yes, the SN74CB3Q3305 supports bidirectional level translation: it accepts 0–5 V signals on its I/O ports while powered from 2.3–3.6 V VCC. For example, with 3.3 V VCC, it passes 0–5 V signals between 5-V peripherals and 3.3-V controllers. This is enabled by 5-V-tolerant I/O structures and internal charge-pump biasing - a core feature confirmed in the SN74CB3Q3305 datasheet Section 8.3.
How does the SN74CB3Q3305 handle partial power-down scenarios?
The SN74CB3Q3305 implements Ioff circuitry that limits current backflow to 1 µA when VCC = 0 V, protecting connected devices during hot-swap or partial-power-down. When powered off, all I/O ports enter high-impedance isolation - a behavior validated in Section 6.5 Electrical Characteristics and Section 8.4 Functional Modes of the SN74CB3Q3305 datasheet.
What package options are available for the SN74CB3Q3305?
The SN74CB3Q3305 is offered in two RoHS-compliant surface-mount packages: TSSOP-8 (PW, 3.00 mm × 6.10 mm) and VSSOP-8 (DCU, 2.00 mm × 3.10 mm). Both share identical pinout and electrical specifications. Active orderable variants include SN74CB3Q3305PWRG4 (TSSOP) and SN74CB3Q3305DCUR (VSSOP), with MSL Level-1 rating and NIPDAU or Sn lead finish.
Can the SN74CB3Q3305 be used for USB 2.0 signal switching?
Yes, the SN74CB3Q3305 is suitable for USB 2.0 signal switching due to its 500 MHz bandwidth, low 3.5 pF OFF-state capacitance, and 3 Ω ron, which preserve signal eye diagrams and minimize jitter. It supports 0–3.3 V signaling on D+ and D− lines with 3.3 V VCC, and its Ioff protection safeguards against hot-plug transients - all confirmed in SN74CB3Q3305 Application Section 9.2 and Switching Characteristics Table 6.6.
