Product details
Overview
SN74CB3Q3384APWG4 from Texas Instruments is a 10-bit FET bus switch optimized for high-bandwidth, low-voltage (2.3 V–3.6 V) digital signal routing. It features dual 5-bit independent channels with separate OE controls, 3 Ω typical ON-state resistance, <0.15 ns propagation delay, and 5-V-tolerant I/Os-enabling rail-to-rail switching in PCI interface, memory interleaving, and bus isolation applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CB3Q3384APWG4 datasheet, SN74CB3Q3384APWG4 pinout, SN74CB3Q3384APWG4 application, or SN74CB3Q3384APWG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 500 MHz bandwidth capability, Ioff partial-power-down support, 4 pF OFF-state I/O capacitance, and TSSOP-24 package compatibility with space-constrained high-speed PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74CB3Q3384APWG4 implements a charge-pump-enhanced FET switch architecture to maintain flat, low ron across 0–5 V signal swings at 2.5 V/3.3 V VCC. Its dual 5-bit structure supports independent channel enablement via 1OE and 2OE, enabling flexible bus segmentation or combined 10-bit operation.
Each switch path delivers bidirectional, near-zero-delay signal gating with rail-to-rail voltage support (0–5 V with 3.3 V VCC), 5-V-tolerant I/Os during power-up/down, and Ioff protection that blocks backflow current when VCC = 0 V-critical for hot-swap and mixed-voltage system interoperability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - Enables direct integration into 2.5 V and 3.3 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| ron (Typ) | 3 Ω - Minimizes insertion loss and signal distortion in high-frequency data paths up to 500 MHz. |
| tpd (Max) | 0.15 ns - Ensures sub-nanosecond timing integrity for DDR, PCIe Gen1, and parallel bus applications. |
| Cio(OFF) (Typ) | 4 pF - Reduces capacitive loading on source drivers and preserves signal edge rates in dense routing. |
| Ioff (Max) | 1 µA at VCC = 0 V - Guarantees robust isolation and prevents back-powering of powered-down subsystems. |
| VI/O Range | 0 V to 5.5 V - Supports mixed-signal interfacing between 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V domains without external clamping. |
| fOE (Max) | 20 MHz - Allows fast dynamic bus enable/disable control for burst-mode or time-division multiplexed systems. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-24 package (PW), 7.9 mm × 4.5 mm × 1.2 mm max height, lead pitch 0.65 mm, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, MSL Level-1 (260 °C, unlimited reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE | Channel 1 output-enable input | Active-low control: drives associated 5-bit A/B path into high-Z when high; enables bidirectional conduction when low. |
| 1A1–1A5 | Channel 1 input/output port A | Bidirectional data terminals for first 5-bit segment; 5-V tolerant, rail-to-rail capable. |
| 1B1–1B5 | Channel 1 input/output port B | Paired with 1A1–1A5; identical electrical characteristics and switching behavior. |
| GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for VCC and all I/O currents; requires low-inductance PCB connection for signal integrity. |
| VCC | Power supply | Supplies internal charge pump and switch bias; must be decoupled with ≤100 nF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| 2A1–2A5 | Channel 2 input/output port A | Independent second 5-bit segment; electrically isolated from Channel 1 except shared VCC/GND. |
| 2B1–2B5 | Channel 2 input/output port B | Paired with 2A1–2A5; supports asynchronous enable/disable relative to Channel 1. |
| 2OE | Channel 2 output-enable input | Active-low control mirroring 1OE functionality for second 5-bit segment. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail switching | Supports 0–5 V signal levels with 3.3 V VCC and 0–3.3 V with 2.5 V VCC-eliminates need for external level translators in mixed-voltage buses. |
| Charge-pump gate drive | Elevates pass-transistor gate voltage to ensure low, flat ron across full input voltage range-critical for amplitude-consistent high-speed signal routing. |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Blocks reverse current flow when VCC = 0 V, enabling safe insertion/removal in live backplanes and multi-rail systems without latch-up risk. |
| Undershoot clamp diodes | Integrated diodes on all data and control inputs limit negative transients to –1.8 V-protects downstream logic from ESD-induced undershoot. |
| Low I/O capacitance | 4 pF OFF-state capacitance minimizes loading on driving sources and preserves rise/fall times in >200 MHz signal paths. |
Applications
| PCI Interface | Differential Signal Interface |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Isolating legacy PCI slots from shared address/data buses during hot-plug events or power sequencing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional bus switch enabling/disabling 32-bit PCI segments under software-controlled OE signals. Use Value: Prevents bus contention and back-driving during slot power transitions while maintaining <0.15 ns timing alignment across all lines. |
Use Scenario: Gating LVDS or RSDS differential pairs in FPGA-to-ASIC interconnects where one side may be unpowered. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance, matched-path switch inserted in common-mode signal paths to preserve skew and impedance continuity. Use Value: 4 pF Cio(OFF) and 3 Ω ron minimize differential skew (<0.02 ns) and insertion loss (<0.1 dB @ 500 MHz), preserving eye diagram integrity. |
| Memory Interleaving | Bus Isolation |
|
Use Scenario: Dynamically routing DRAM address/control lines between two memory controllers sharing a single DIMM slot. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel 5-bit switch allowing independent enable of A/B ports per controller, with simultaneous 10-bit mode for unified access. Use Value: Flat ron ensures uniform propagation delay across all 10 bits, eliminating address skew that could cause timing violations in DDR2/3 systems. |
Use Scenario: Segregating test/debug interfaces (e.g., JTAG, SWD) from main system buses to prevent interference during firmware updates. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-isolation switch placed between debug header and core logic, controlled by secure boot state signal. Use Value: Ioff <1 µA at VCC=0 V guarantees zero leakage current into powered-down debug circuitry, preventing unintended wake-up or corruption. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FET bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT3384CPWRE4 | Higher ron (5 Ω typ), no charge pump, 2.5 V–5.5 V VCC range, no Ioff support | Lacks partial-power-down capability; unsuitable for hot-swap or mixed-rail isolation where VCC may be absent | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs Ioff requirement and 5 V operation is needed without 3.3 V optimization |
| SN74LVC1G3157DCKR | Single-pole double-throw (SPDT), 1-bit, 1.65 V–5.5 V, ron = 6 Ω typ, Cio(OFF) = 5.5 pF | Not scalable to 10-bit width; requires 10x devices and additional control logic for equivalent functionality | Use only for point-to-point signal gating where density and channel count are secondary to ultra-low voltage operation (1.65 V min) |
Compared with SN74CB3Q3384APWG4, SN74CBT3384CPWRE4 trades Ioff and low ron for broader VCC range but sacrifices hot-swap safety, while SN74LVC1G3157DCKR offers voltage flexibility at the cost of board area, routing complexity, and degraded high-frequency performance due to higher ron and capacitance.
