Product details
Overview
SN74CB3Q3306APWR 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 2.3–3.6 V VCC operation, 4 Ω typical ON-state resistance, <0.2 ns propagation delay, and bidirectional data flow-enabling USB interface isolation and differential signal gating in compact TSSOP-8 layouts.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CB3Q3306APWR datasheet, SN74CB3Q3306APWR pinout, SN74CB3Q3306APWR application, or SN74CB3Q3306APWR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5-V-tolerant I/Os under powered-down conditions, Ioff partial-power-down support, 3.5 pF OFF-state I/O capacitance, and 20 MHz maximum OE switching frequency for high-speed bus control.
Technical Context
The SN74CB3Q3306APWR implements two independent 1-bit FET switches with separate output-enable (1OE, 2OE) inputs and charge-pump gate drive to maintain flat, low ron across 0–5 V signal swings. Each switch supports bidirectional conduction with near-zero propagation delay and rail-to-rail voltage translation between A and B ports.
Its Ioff circuitry actively blocks current backflow when VCC = 0 V, enabling safe hot-insertion and partial-power-down operation. The device operates with TTL- or CMOS-compatible control inputs and maintains 5-V tolerance on all I/O pins regardless of VCC state-critical for mixed-voltage system interconnects.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - enables interoperability with both 2.5 V and 3.3 V logic domains without level shifters |
| ron (Typ) | 4 Ω at VCC = 3.3 V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and distortion for high-frequency data paths |
| Propagation Delay | <0.2 ns - supports >500 MHz bandwidth applications with negligible timing skew |
| I/O Capacitance (OFF) | 3.5 pF typ - reduces capacitive loading on buses, preserving signal integrity in dense PCB layouts |
| OE Switching Frequency | 20 MHz max - allows rapid dynamic bus enable/disable control in real-time signal routing |
| Ioff Support | Yes - prevents damaging back-current during power sequencing or partial shutdown |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM, 1000-V CDM - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements without external protection |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-8 package (PW), 3.0 mm × 4.4 mm body, 1.2 mm max height, 0.65 mm lead pitch, exposed pad not present.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1OE | Active-low enable for first 1-bit switch - drives internal EN signal to connect 1A ↔ 1B when low |
| 2 | 1A | Data input/output port A for first switch - bidirectional, 5-V tolerant, low-capacitance node |
| 3 | 1B | Data input/output port B for first switch - electrically identical to 1A, forms low-ron path when enabled |
| 4 | GND | Power ground reference - must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into switch paths |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage input - powers charge pump and logic; range 2.3–3.6 V defines operating voltage domain |
| 6 | 2OE | Active-low enable for second 1-bit switch - independent control enables asymmetric bus gating |
| 7 | 2A | Data input/output port A for second switch - isolated from 1A/1B; supports concurrent dual-channel routing |
| 8 | 2B | Data input/output port B for second switch - completes second independent 1-bit path with matched ron and timing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail 0–5 V switching | Supports mixed-signal interfaces (e.g., 3.3 V MCU controlling 5 V peripheral) without external level translators |
| 5-V-tolerant I/Os (VCC up/down) | Enables safe interconnection between powered and unpowered subsystems - critical for hot-plug USB or PCIe add-in cards |
| Low 3.5 pF OFF-state capacitance | Minimizes crosstalk and reflection in high-speed parallel buses like memory address/data lines or display pixel clocks |
| Charge-pump gate drive | Maintains consistent 4 Ω ron across full 0–5 V signal swing - eliminates voltage-dependent insertion loss in analog/digital signals |
| Partial-power-down (Ioff) | Prevents back-current flow when VCC = 0 V - satisfies JEDEC JESD78 Class II latch-up immunity (>100 mA) |
Applications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-leakage (1 μA Ioff), low-capacitance switch enabling precise analog/digital signal blanking without distortion. Use Value: Delivers 3.5 pF OFF-state capacitance and 0.25 mA ICC - minimizes quiescent power and signal perturbation during gated intervals. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT3306CPW | No charge pump; ron = 6 Ω typ at 3.3 V; no 5-V tolerance when powered down | Limited to always-powered systems; unsuitable for hot-swap or partial-power-down use cases | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs Ioff and 5-V-tolerance requirements |
| TS3USB30EVM | Single-channel USB 2.0 switch; integrated ESD protection; 5.5 Ω ron; requires 3.3 V only | Optimized specifically for USB D+/D−; lacks dual independent control and general-purpose 0–5 V support | Choose for dedicated USB port switching where footprint and USB compliance are primary constraints |
Compared with SN74CB3Q3306APWR, SN74CBT3306CPW offers lower cost but sacrifices Ioff safety and powered-down 5-V tolerance, while TS3USB30EVM delivers USB-optimized integration at the expense of dual-switch flexibility and wide-voltage-range operation.

FAQ
What is the maximum signal frequency supported by the SN74CB3Q3306APWR?
The SN74CB3Q3306APWR supports up to 500 MHz bandwidth due to its low 4 Ω typical ON-state resistance and 3.5 pF OFF-state I/O capacitance. This performance is validated under recommended operating conditions with 3.3 V VCC and accounts for RC-limited propagation delay (tpd < 0.2 ns). Signal integrity remains intact for USB 2.0 (480 Mbps), DDR clock distribution, and LVDS video links.
Does the SN74CB3Q3306APWR support hot-plug operation when VCC is unpowered?
Yes, the SN74CB3Q3306APWR supports hot-plug operation with VCC = 0 V thanks to its Ioff circuitry and 5-V-tolerant I/Os. When unpowered, it blocks back-current flow up to ±64 mA per switch and maintains high-impedance isolation between A and B ports. This behavior is specified in the absolute maximum ratings and confirmed in the functional description of partial-power-down operation.
Can the SN74CB3Q3306APWR be used for analog signal switching?
Yes, the SN74CB3Q3306APWR is suitable for low-distortion analog signal gating due to its rail-to-rail 0–5 V switching capability, flat 4 Ω ron across input voltage, and low 3.5 pF OFF-state capacitance. It has been applied in audio DAC output blanking and RF control line routing where minimal THD and crosstalk are required. However, it is not characterized for THD or SNR metrics - design validation is recommended for precision analog paths.
What is the recommended pull-up resistor value for OE pins on the SN74CB3Q3306APWR?
The datasheet recommends tying OE pins to VCC through a pull-up resistor to ensure high-impedance state during power-up or power-down. The minimum resistor value depends on the driver's current-sinking capability; for standard CMOS drivers, 10 kΩ is commonly used. TI's application note SCBA004 specifies that unused control inputs must be held at VCC or GND - the SN74CB3Q3306APWR's OE inputs meet this requirement with appropriate external biasing.
How does the charge pump in the SN74CB3Q3306APWR improve performance compared to standard FET switches?
The integrated charge pump in the SN74CB3Q3306APWR elevates the gate voltage of the pass transistor above VCC, ensuring strong enhancement-mode conduction across the full 0–5 V input range. This results in flat 4 Ω ron versus voltage (unlike non-pumped switches whose ron rises sharply near VCC/2), enabling consistent low-loss signal transmission and rail-to-rail switching without dead zones - a key differentiator over alternatives like SN74CBT3306CPW.
