Product details
Overview
SN74CB3Q3384APW from Texas Instruments is a 10-bit FET bus switch optimized for high-bandwidth, low-voltage applications. It features dual 5-bit configurable switching paths, rail-to-rail 0–5 V signal support at 2.5 V/3.3 V VCC, 3 Ω typical ON-state resistance, <0.15 ns propagation delay, and bidirectional data flow with near-zero latency. It serves as a low-distortion signal gate in PCI interfaces and memory interleaving systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CB3Q3384APW datasheet, SN74CB3Q3384APW pinout, SN74CB3Q3384APW application, or SN74CB3Q3384APW equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.3–3.6 V supply range, 5-V-tolerant I/Os with powered-down isolation (Ioff), 4 pF typical OFF-state capacitance, and TSSOP-24 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74CB3Q3384APW implements two independent 5-bit FET bus switches, each controlled by dedicated OE inputs (1OE, 2OE), enabling flexible partitioning as either two 5-bit or one unified 10-bit switch. Its charge-pump-enhanced gate drive ensures flat ron across input voltage (0–5 V) and supply (2.3–3.6 V) ranges.
It supports partial-power-down operation via Ioff circuitry that blocks current backflow when VCC = 0 V, and integrates undershoot clamp diodes on all control/data pins. The device maintains rail-to-rail analog/digital signal integrity with 500 MHz bandwidth capability and 20 MHz maximum OE switching frequency.
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) | 3 Ω - Minimizes voltage drop and signal attenuation across switched paths under 30 mA load. |
| tpd (Max) | 0.15 ns - Delivers near-instantaneous bidirectional signal pass-through for high-speed timing-critical buses. |
| Cio(OFF) (Typ) | 4 pF - Reduces capacitive loading on upstream drivers and preserves signal edge integrity in multi-drop configurations. |
| Ioff (Max) | 1 µA at VCC = 0 V - Ensures robust isolation during system power sequencing or hot-swap events. |
| VI/O Range | 0 V to 5.5 V - Supports mixed-voltage signaling (e.g., 3.3 V core interfacing to 5 V peripherals) with no external clamping. |
| fOE (Max) | 20 MHz - Allows dynamic enable/disable control at rates compatible with burst-mode memory or packetized I/O protocols. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-24 package (PW), 7.8 mm × 4.4 mm footprint, 1.2 mm max height, 0.65 mm lead pitch, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, MSL Level-1 (260 °C peak reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE | Independent output-enable controls | Active-low enables for respective 5-bit switch banks; tied to VCC via pull-up for power-up high-impedance safety. |
| 1A1–1A5, 2A1–2A5 | Input/output port A (side A) | Bidirectional data terminals; electrically identical to B-side ports with no direction pin required. |
| 1B1–1B5, 2B1–2B5 | Input/output port B (side B) | Paired with corresponding A pins; full rail-to-rail voltage translation supported between A and B sides. |
| GND | Ground reference | Single ground plane connection; decoupling capacitor placement adjacent to Pin 12 recommended per layout guidelines. |
| VCC | Supply voltage | 2.3–3.6 V digital supply; powers internal charge pump and logic; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass near Pin 13. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail switching | Supports 0–5 V analog/digital signals with 3.3 V VCC - eliminates need for external level translators in mixed-voltage interconnects. |
| Charge-pump gate drive | Maintains flat 3 Ω ron across full VI/O range (0–5 V) and VCC range (2.3–3.6 V) - ensures consistent signal fidelity regardless of logic swing. |
| 5-V tolerant I/Os | Operates with VI/O up to 5.5 V while VCC is powered or unpowered - enables safe hot-plug and legacy peripheral interfacing. |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Blocks >99.9% of back-current (Ioff ≤1 µA) when VCC = 0 V - prevents damage during board-level power sequencing or firmware-initiated shutdown. |
| Low OFF-state capacitance | Cio(OFF) = 4 pF typical - minimizes crosstalk and timing skew in high-frequency parallel buses like address/data multiplexed paths. |
Applications
| PCI Interface | Differential Signal Interface |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FET bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CB3Q3306PW | 6-bit configuration (vs. 10-bit); identical ron (3 Ω), Cio(OFF) (4 pF), and VCC range (2.3–3.6 V). | Suitable for narrower data paths (e.g., I²C/SPI control lines), not 10-bit memory or PCI buses. | Select when pin count and signal count are reduced; shares same TSSOP-16 footprint but incompatible pinout. |
| SN74CBTLV3384PW | Lower VCC min (2.3 V → 2.5 V); higher ron (5 Ω typ); no charge pump - ron varies with VI/O. | Acceptable for lower-speed (<100 MHz) applications where cost is prioritized over flat ron performance. | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where 5 Ω ron variation and 0.3 ns tpd penalty are acceptable trade-offs. |
Compared with SN74CB3Q3384APW, SN74CB3Q3306PW reduces channel count but retains identical high-speed analog switching fidelity, while SN74CBTLV3384PW trades bandwidth and ron flatness for lower unit cost in non-critical signal paths.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the SN74CB3Q3384APW?
The SN74CB3Q3384APW supports up to 500 MHz signal bandwidth on its data paths and allows OE control toggling at up to 20 MHz. These values reflect its optimized FET architecture and low 3 Ω ron, making SN74CB3Q3384APW suitable for high-speed parallel bus applications such as PCI and memory addressing without signal degradation.
Does the SN74CB3Q3384APW support 5-V tolerant I/Os when unpowered?
Yes, the SN74CB3Q3384APW maintains 5-V tolerance on all I/O pins (A and B ports) even when VCC = 0 V, thanks to integrated clamp diodes and Ioff protection. This ensures safe interfacing with 5 V peripherals during power-down states - a verified behavior documented in the absolute maximum ratings and Ioff electrical characteristics tables for SN74CB3Q3384APW.
Can the SN74CB3Q3384APW be used for analog signal switching?
Yes, the SN74CB3Q3384APW is explicitly characterized for analog applications including low-distortion signal gating. Its rail-to-rail operation (0–5 V), flat 3 Ω ron, and low 4 pF OFF-state capacitance preserve analog waveform integrity - confirmed in TI's SCDA008 application report and SN74CB3Q3384APW datasheet AC performance graphs.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the SN74CB3Q3384APW in its TSSOP-24 package?
The SN74CB3Q3384APW in the PW (TSSOP-24) package has a specified junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 88 °C/W under standard JEDEC conditions. This value is measured with a 1-inch² copper pad and is critical for thermal design validation when operating at ICC = 2 mA max under continuous switching loads.
How does the charge pump in the SN74CB3Q3384APW improve performance compared to standard FET switches?
The integrated charge pump in SN74CB3Q3384APW elevates the gate voltage of the pass transistors above VCC, ensuring strong enhancement-mode conduction across the full 0–5 V input range. This delivers flat 3 Ω ron versus the voltage-dependent ron (>6 Ω) seen in non-pumped alternatives like SN74CBTLV3384PW - directly improving signal fidelity and timing predictability in SN74CB3Q3384APW applications.
