Product details
Overview
SN74CB3Q3306APW from Texas Instruments is a dual 1-bit FET bus switch IC designed for high-bandwidth signal routing in low-voltage digital systems. It features rail-to-rail 0–5 V switching capability with 2.5 V/3.3 V supply operation, 4 Ω typical ON-state resistance, <0.2 ns propagation delay, and 5-V-tolerant I/Os-enabling use in USB interface isolation and differential signal gating applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CB3Q3306APW datasheet, SN74CB3Q3306APW pinout, SN74CB3Q3306APW application, or SN74CB3Q3306APW equivalent, key selection considerations include its bidirectional 1-bit dual-switch architecture, partial-power-down Ioff support, low 3.5 pF OFF-state I/O capacitance, and TSSOP-8 package compatibility with high-speed PCB layout requirements.
Technical Context
The SN74CB3Q3306APW implements two independent FET-based analog/digital bus switches, each controlled by dedicated OE inputs (1OE, 2OE), enabling selective isolation of A↔B data paths. Its internal charge pump elevates gate voltage to maintain flat, low ron across input voltages from 0 V to 5 V.
Each switch supports bidirectional signal flow with near-zero propagation delay and rail-to-rail voltage translation-e.g., 0–3.3 V signaling with 2.5 V VCC or 0–5 V with 3.3 V VCC. The device meets JESD 78 Class II latch-up immunity (>100 mA) and JESD 22 ESD ratings (2000-V HBM, 1000-V CDM).
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 (Typ) | 4 Ω at VCC = 3.3 V - minimizes voltage drop and signal distortion under 30 mA load |
| Cio(OFF) | 3.5 pF typical - reduces capacitive loading on high-speed buses like USB 2.0 or PCIe Gen1 |
| Propagation Delay | <0.2 ns - supports >500 MHz bandwidth signal paths with negligible timing skew |
| Ioff | 1 mA max at VCC = 0 V - prevents backflow current during partial power-down, protecting upstream drivers |
| Switching Frequency | 20 MHz max (fOE) - ensures reliable enable/disable control in burst-mode or gated-clock applications |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM, 1000-V CDM - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements without external protection |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-8 (PW) package: 3.0 mm × 4.4 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch, 1.2 mm max height, exposed pad not present, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu or Sn finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1OE | Active-low enable for first 1-bit switch - drives A1↔B1 path when low; high-impedance when high |
| 2 | 1A | Data input/output port A of first switch - bidirectional, 5-V tolerant, low-capacitance node |
| 3 | 1B | Data input/output port B of first switch - electrically identical to 1A, forms isolated signal pair |
| 4 | GND | Power ground reference - must be low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling into analog paths |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage (2.3–3.6 V) - powers internal charge pump and logic; bypass capacitor required |
| 6 | 2OE | Active-low enable for second 1-bit switch - independent control allows staggered or synchronized gating |
| 7 | 2A | Data input/output port A of second switch - supports separate signal domain from first switch |
| 8 | 2B | Data input/output port B of second switch - completes dual-channel isolation capability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail 0–5 V switching | Operates with 2.5 V or 3.3 V VCC while passing full 0–5 V signals - eliminates need for external level translators |
| Charge-pump-enhanced ron | Maintains flat 4–8 Ω ON-resistance across VI/O range - ensures consistent signal integrity regardless of logic level |
| 5-V-tolerant I/Os | Withstands 0–7 V on data pins even when powered down - enables hot-swap and mixed-voltage system integration |
| Low I/O capacitance | 3.5 pF OFF-state capacitance - preserves signal rise/fall times in >200 Mbps digital interfaces |
| Partial-power-down support | Ioff limits reverse current to ≤1 mA when VCC = 0 - protects powered sections during firmware-controlled sleep modes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FET bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CB3Q3306APWR | Tape-and-reel variant of same TSSOP-8 device; identical electrical specs and pinout | No functional difference - optimized for automated SMT assembly vs. tube packaging | Select SN74CB3Q3306APWR for volume production; SN74CB3Q3306APW is obsolete but may be available in legacy stock |
| SN74CB3Q3306ADCUR | VSSOP-8 (DCU) package: 2.3 mm × 2.0 mm, 0.5 mm pitch - 45% smaller footprint than TSSOP-8 | Higher density routing possible; thermal resistance 88°C/W vs. 70°C/W for PW - requires careful thermal design at >20 mA per switch | Choose SN74CB3Q3306ADCUR for space-constrained designs; verify PCB land pattern per DCU0008A outline |
Compared with SN74CB3Q3306APWR, the SN74CB3Q3306APW offers identical performance but limited availability; versus SN74CB3Q3306ADCUR, it trades compactness for easier hand-soldering and higher thermal margin - making it preferable for prototyping and thermally demanding 2-layer boards.

FAQ
What is the maximum signal frequency supported by the SN74CB3Q3306APW?
The SN74CB3Q3306APW supports signal bandwidth up to 500 MHz, validated by its <0.2 ns propagation delay and 3.5 pF OFF-state I/O capacitance. This enables reliable operation in USB 2.0 (480 Mbps), DDR1 memory buses, and other high-speed digital interfaces where minimal signal degradation is critical. Performance remains consistent across 0–5 V signal swings with 2.5 V or 3.3 V supply.
Does the SN74CB3Q3306APW require external pull-up resistors on OE pins?
Yes - to ensure high-impedance state during power-up or power-down, OE pins (1OE, 2OE) should be tied to VCC via pull-up resistors. The minimum value depends on the driving source's current-sinking capability; TI recommends ≥10 kΩ for standard CMOS drivers. Leaving OE floating risks undefined switch states and potential bus contention.
Can the SN74CB3Q3306APW operate with a 2.5 V supply while switching 5 V signals?
Yes - the SN74CB3Q3306APW supports 0–5 V rail-to-rail switching with VCC = 2.5 V, as confirmed in the Recommended Operating Conditions table. Its charge-pump architecture maintains low, flat ON-resistance (5–9 Ω typical) across this configuration, enabling direct interfacing between 2.5 V logic and 5 V peripherals without external level shifters.
Is the SN74CB3Q3306APW compatible with hot-swap or live-insertion systems?
Yes - the SN74CB3Q3306APW features 5-V-tolerant I/Os and Ioff protection, allowing safe operation when VCC = 0 V and data pins are driven externally. With ≤1 mA reverse current under these conditions, it prevents damage to powered circuitry during hot-plug events in modular backplane or docking station designs.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the SN74CB3Q3306APW in its TSSOP-8 package?
The SN74CB3Q3306APW in TSSOP-8 (PW) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 88°C/W, per TI's SCDS113E datasheet. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions; actual thermal performance improves with copper pour, thermal vias, and proper PCB layout - critical when operating near maximum 64 mA per switch current rating.
