Product details
Overview
SN74CB3T1G125 from Texas Instruments is a single-bit 5-V-tolerant FET bus switch optimized for level translation and bidirectional signal isolation in mixed-voltage systems. It operates from 2.3 V to 3.6 V, delivers typ. 5 Ω ON-state resistance, supports 0–5 V signaling with 3.3-V VCC, and enables sub-0.25 ns propagation delay in USB interface and bus isolation applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CB3T1G125 datasheet, SN74CB3T1G125 pinout, SN74CB3T1G125 application, or SN74CB3T1G125 equivalent, key selection criteria include 5-V I/O tolerance with 2.5/3.3-V supply, Ioff partial-power-down support, low 5 pF OFF-state capacitance, and SC-70 (DCK) 5-pin package compatibility for space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The SN74CB3T1G125 implements a single-channel FET-based transmission gate architecture with gate drive referenced to VCC, enabling voltage translation that tracks supply level. Its control logic uses TTL-compatible OE input (VIH = 2 V min at VCC ≥ 2.7 V) to enable/disable bidirectional conduction between A and B ports.
It integrates undershoot clamp diodes on all I/Os, supports Ioff protection during partial power-down, and maintains high-impedance isolation when powered off - critical for hot-swap and multi-rail system interoperability. The device meets JESD 17 latch-up immunity (>250 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 operation across 2.5-V and 3.3-V logic domains without external level shifters. |
| ron (Typ) | 5 Ω - minimizes voltage drop and signal distortion under ±128 mA load, supporting clean high-speed data pass-through. |
| tpd (Max) | 0.25 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - ensures near-zero latency for timing-critical interfaces like USB 2.0 data lines. |
| Cio(OFF) (Typ) | 5 pF - reduces capacitive loading on upstream drivers and preserves signal integrity in high-frequency buses. |
| Ioff (Max) | 20 µA at VCC = 0 - prevents backflow current during system power sequencing, protecting unpowered rails. |
| IO Voltage Range | 0 V to 5.5 V - allows direct connection to 5-V peripherals (e.g., legacy USB transceivers) while powered from 3.3-V or 2.5-V supplies. |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM, 1000-V CDM - meets industrial handling requirements without additional board-level protection. |
Pinout & Package
SN74CB3T1G125 is packaged in SC-70 (DCK), a 5-pin surface-mount package measuring 2.15 mm × 1.40 mm × 1.10 mm max height, optimized for high-density PCB layouts in portable electronics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A port | Bidirectional data terminal connected to source-side logic (e.g., microcontroller GPIO); supports 0–5 V signaling regardless of VCC. |
| 2 | OE (Output Enable) | Active-low TTL/CMOS-compatible control input; must be pulled high via resistor during power-up to ensure default high-Z state. |
| 3 | GND | Ground reference for internal FET biasing and ESD protection network; requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane. |
| 4 | B port | Bidirectional data terminal connected to sink-side logic (e.g., USB PHY); mirrors A port voltage when enabled, isolated when OE = high. |
| 5 | VCC | Supply input for internal gate drive and level-shifting circuitry; sets output voltage translation reference and determines VIH/VIL thresholds. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5-V-tolerant I/Os with 2.5/3.3-V supply | Enables direct interfacing between 5-V legacy peripherals and modern low-voltage SoCs without external translators. |
| Ioff partial-power-down protection | Blocks current flow between A/B ports when VCC = 0, preventing damage during hot-plug or rail sequencing events. |
| Sub-0.25 ns propagation delay | Maintains signal timing integrity in >100 MHz digital buses (e.g., USB D+/D−, memory address/data lines). |
| 5 pF OFF-state I/O capacitance | Minimizes loading on driving sources, preserving rise/fall times and reducing crosstalk in dense routing environments. |
| 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 logic levels on same port - ideal for heterogeneous FPGA I/O banks. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT1G125DCKR | No 5-V tolerance; max VI/O = VCC + 0.5 V; higher ron (7 Ω typ); no Ioff support. | Suitable only for same-supply-domain isolation (e.g., 3.3-V-to-3.3-V), not mixed-voltage or hot-swap use cases. | Select when cost is primary constraint and 5-V tolerance/Ioff are unnecessary. |
| TS3A24157RGTR | 2-channel SPDT; 5-V tolerant; 0.9 Ω ron; supports 1.65–3.6 V VCC; includes enable polarity inversion option. | Offers dual-channel integration and lower ron but larger 16-pin QFN package; lacks SC-70 footprint compatibility. | Select when dual-switch functionality or sub-1 Ω ron justifies larger footprint and higher unit cost. |
Compared with SN74CBT1G125DCKR, the SN74CB3T1G125 provides essential 5-V I/O tolerance and Ioff for mixed-rail systems; versus TS3A24157RGTR, it offers identical 5-V tolerance in a smaller SC-70 package but with single-channel limitation and slightly higher ron.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage on the A or B pins of the SN74CB3T1G125?
The SN74CB3T1G125 supports a data I/O voltage range of –0.5 V to 7 V per absolute maximum ratings, with recommended operation up to 5.5 V. When VCC is 3.3 V, the device reliably translates 5-V inputs to ~3.3-V outputs, making it suitable for interfacing 5-V peripherals without external clamping or translation circuitry. This rating applies regardless of OE state.
Does the SN74CB3T1G125 require external pull-up resistors on the OE pin?
Yes - to ensure a defined high-impedance state during power-up or power-down, OE should be tied to VCC through a pull-up resistor. TI recommends a minimum value determined by the driver's current-sinking capability; typical values range from 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ. Without this, undefined switching behavior or momentary short-circuits may occur during supply ramp.
Can the SN74CB3T1G125 be used for bidirectional level shifting between 1.8-V and 3.3-V logic domains?
No - the SN74CB3T1G125 does not support 1.8-V VCC operation; its specified VCC range is 2.3 V to 3.6 V. While its I/Os accept 0–5 V signals, the output voltage level follows VCC (≈VCC), so a 1.8-V domain cannot be driven directly. For 1.8-V ↔ 3.3-V translation, TI recommends the TXS0102 or similar auto-direction-sensing translators.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the SN74CB3T1G125 in the DCK package?
The SN74CB3T1G125 in SC-70 (DCK) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 252°C/W, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value assumes standard JEDEC test conditions (single-layer copper, 1-in² pad); actual performance improves with enhanced PCB copper area or thermal vias.
Is the SN74CB3T1G125 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes - the SN74CB3T1G125DCKR is RoHS-compliant with NIPDAU/SN lead finish and rated for MSL Level-1 (unlimited floor life) at peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C, fully compatible with standard lead-free soldering profiles per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020.
