Product details
Overview
SN74CB3T16211 from Texas Instruments is a 24-bit FET bus switch IC with dual 12-bit configurable channels, 5-V tolerant I/Os, 2.3–3.6 V supply range, 5 Ω typical ON-state resistance, and bidirectional near-zero-delay signal routing for mixed-voltage system interconnects.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CB3T16211 datasheet, SN74CB3T16211 pinout, SN74CB3T16211 application, or SN74CB3T16211 equivalent, key selection considerations include voltage translation capability across 0–5 V signaling levels, partial-power-down (Ioff) support, 56-pin TSSOP (DGG) package compatibility, and TTL/CMOS-compatible control input drive requirements.
Technical Context
The SN74CB3T16211 implements two independent 12-bit FET-based analog switches controlled by separate OE inputs (1OE, 2OE), enabling either dual 12-bit or unified 24-bit bus isolation. Each channel supports bidirectional data flow with no direction pin required.
Its voltage-translation architecture tracks VCC, allowing 5-V inputs to be level-shifted down to 2.5-V or 3.3-V outputs depending on VCC setting, while maintaining 5-V tolerance on all I/Os regardless of power state - critical for hot-swap and mixed-supply system interoperability.
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 |
| ron (Typ) | 5 Ω - ensures minimal insertion loss and signal integrity for high-speed digital buses |
| Ioff Support | Yes - prevents backflow current during partial power-down, protecting unpowered subsystems |
| Cio(OFF) (Typ) | 5 pF - reduces capacitive loading on driven lines, preserving edge rates up to ~500 MHz |
| tpd (Max) | 0.25 ns at 3.3 V - delivers near-transparent propagation for timing-critical interconnects |
| I/O Voltage Range | 0 V to 5.5 V - supports interoperability between 1.2 V, 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic families |
| ICC (Max) | 70 μA - enables use in battery-powered portable equipment without significant quiescent drain |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-56 (DGG) package: 13.9 mm × 6.0 mm × 1.2 mm body, 0.5 mm pitch, exposed metal-free thermal pad, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A1–1A12, 2A1–2A12 | Input/Output Port A (Channel 1 & 2) | Bidirectional data terminals for first and second 12-bit switch banks |
| 1B1–1B12, 2B1–2B12 | Input/Output Port B (Channel 1 & 2) | Corresponding bidirectional data terminals connected through FET when OE active |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output Enable (Active-Low) | Independent control per 12-bit bank; low = ON (A↔B conductive), high = high-Z isolation |
| VCC | Supply Voltage | Single 2.3–3.6 V rail powering internal gate drivers and level-shifting circuitry |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for all switching and control circuits; multiple pins reduce ground bounce |
| NC | No Internal Connection | Pins 1 and 56 - mechanical alignment only; must remain unconnected |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Output voltage translation | Tracks VCC - enables automatic 5-V-to-3.3-V or 5-V-to-2.5-V downshift without external components |
| Mixed-mode signal operation | Supports simultaneous 0.8 V, 1.2 V, 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V signaling on same device |
| 5-V tolerant I/Os | Operates safely with 5-V signals applied while powered at 2.5 V or 3.3 V, or even during full power-down |
| Bidirectional zero-delay routing | No internal logic or buffering - signal passes through FET switch with <0.25 ns propagation delay |
| Undershoot clamp diodes | Integrated protection on all data and control inputs - suppresses negative transients below –1.2 V |
Applications
| PCI Express Interconnect Isolation | Multi-Rail FPGA I/O Bridging |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Isolating legacy PCI slots from modern 3.3-V or 2.5-V host controllers while retaining 5-V signaling compatibility.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Configurable 24-bit voltage translator enabling per-bank enable/disable for dynamic I/O domain partitioning. Use Value: Reduces PCB layer count by consolidating translation functions into single DGG56 package; supports simultaneous multi-standard signaling. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance (<5 pF OFF), low-ron (5 Ω) analog switch preserving USB 2.0 eye diagram integrity up to 480 Mbps. Use Value: Avoids signal degradation from series resistors or active repeaters; supports plug-and-play compatibility without firmware reconfiguration. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FET bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTLV3245PWR | 8-bit, non-level-shifting, 3.3-V only, no 5-V tolerance | Limited to uniform 3.3-V systems; lacks mixed-voltage translation | Select when only 3.3-V isolation is needed and board space is constrained |
| TS3DV642RHAT | 24-bit, 3.3-V supply, 5-V tolerant, but higher ron (8 Ω typ) and Cio(OFF) (10 pF) | Higher insertion loss and capacitive loading limit usable frequency to ~200 MHz | Choose if TI's Widebus™ ecosystem integration is not required and cost is primary driver |
Compared with SN74CB3T16211, SN74CBTLV3245PWR offers smaller footprint but no voltage translation, while TS3DV642RHAT provides similar channel count and tolerance but trades off signal integrity for lower unit cost - making SN74CB3T16211 optimal for high-fidelity, mixed-rail interconnects demanding sub-ns timing and ultra-low loading.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the SN74CB3T16211?
The SN74CB3T16211 does not specify a hard maximum frequency, but its 5 pF OFF-state capacitance and 0.25 ns max propagation delay support clean signal transmission up to approximately 500 MHz in well-terminated 50-Ω environments. Real-world bandwidth depends on PCB layout, load capacitance, and drive strength - verified in TI's application note SBAA222 for high-speed bus switch design.
Does the SN74CB3T16211 require external pull-up resistors on its I/O lines?
The SN74CB3T16211 includes internal pull-up current sources that maintain output voltage at VCC when enabled and input ≥ VCC – 1 V. However, if an I/O port connects to a pulldown resistor, output voltage may drop below VCC at low frequencies; a pullup to VCC is recommended in such cases. No external pull-ups are needed for standard CMOS interfacing.
Can the SN74CB3T16211 be used for analog signal switching?
Yes - the SN74CB3T16211 is a passive FET-based switch with rail-to-rail analog capability, supporting DC-coupled signals from 0 V to 5.5 V. Its 5 Ω ron and 5 pF Cio(OFF) make it suitable for low-distortion analog routing up to ~100 MHz, provided signal swing remains within absolute maximum ratings and VI/O limits.
How does the Ioff feature function in the SN74CB3T16211 during system power sequencing?
The Ioff feature in the SN74CB3T16211 actively disables current flow between A and B ports when VCC = 0 V, preventing damaging back-current from live I/O lines into unpowered circuitry. This allows safe hot-insertion and staggered power-up/down sequences in modular systems - validated per JESD 78 with <10 μA leakage at 5.5 V I/O and 0 V VCC.
Is the SN74CB3T16211 pin-compatible with other devices in the SN74CB3T family?
Yes - the SN74CB3T16211 shares identical 56-pin TSSOP (DGG), SSOP (DL), and TVSOP (DGV) footprints and pinout with SN74CB3T16210 and SN74CB3T16245, differing only in channel count and enable configuration. This enables drop-in replacement in existing layouts when upgrading from 12-bit or 24-bit variants with shared control architecture.
