Product details
Overview
SN74CB3T3245DW from Texas Instruments is an 8-bit FET bus switch with bidirectional data flow, 5V-tolerant I/Os, and VCC-referenced level shifting (2.3V–3.6V supply). It delivers near-zero propagation delay (0.25 ns typical at 3.3V), 5Ω typical ON-state resistance, and 5pF OFF-state capacitance-enabling mixed-mode interfacing between 5V TTL, 3.3V LVTTL, and 2.5V CMOS systems in portable and embedded applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CB3T3245DW datasheet, SN74CB3T3245DW pinout, SN74CB3T3245DW application, or SN74CB3T3245DW equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin SOIC package, active-low OE control, 5V-tolerant operation during power-up/down, Ioff partial-power-down support, and compatibility with PCI, USB, and memory interleaving signal translation requirements.
Technical Context
The SN74CB3T3245DW implements eight independent FET-based analog switches with gate drive referenced to VCC, enabling output voltage translation that tracks the supply rail. Its architecture supports true bidirectional signal flow without direction control pins and maintains high-impedance isolation when OE is high.
Each switch features undershoot clamp diodes on all I/O and control inputs, operates across –40°C to +85°C, and meets JESD 17 latch-up (>250 mA) and JESD 22 ESD ratings (±2000 V HBM, ±1000 V CDM). The device is specified for partial-power-down use via Ioff, preventing backflow current when VCC = 0 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - Enables operation in 2.5V and 3.3V logic domains while supporting 5V-tolerant I/Os. |
| ron (Typical) | 5 Ω at VCC = 2.5V - Minimizes voltage drop and signal distortion under 24 mA load per channel. |
| Propagation Delay | 0.25 ns at 3.3V - Near-zero delay enables high-speed bus switching without timing budget impact. |
| I/O Capacitance (OFF) | 5 pF typical - Reduces capacitive loading on source and destination buses, preserving signal integrity. |
| ICC (Max) | 40 µA - Ultra-low quiescent current supports battery-powered and low-power portable equipment. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded and communications applications. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±2000 V - Robust handling in manufacturing and field environments without external protection. |
Pinout & Package
SN74CB3T3245DW is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package measuring 12.8 mm × 10.3 mm, with standard '245-type pinout and gull-wing leads suitable for through-hole and surface-mount assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | NC | No internal connection - Must be left unconnected; no routing or pull-up required. |
| 2–9 | A1–A8 | Switch input terminals - Bidirectional A-side ports; accept 0–5 V signals regardless of VCC. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - Primary return path for VCC and all I/O currents; requires low-impedance PCB plane. |
| 11–18 | B8–B1 | Switch output terminals - Bidirectional B-side ports; output voltage level tracks VCC (e.g., 5V→3.3V downshift). |
| 19 | OE | Active-low output enable - Driven low to connect A↔B ports; high-Z state when high; TTL/CMOS compatible. |
| 20 | VCC | Power supply - Supplies gate bias for FET switches; requires 0.1 µF bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode level shifting | Supports 5V→3.3V and 5V/3.3V→2.5V translation with single VCC rail-eliminates need for dual-supply translators. |
| 5V-tolerant I/Os | Operates safely with 0–5.5 V signals on all A/B ports whether powered or unpowered-enables hot-swap and power sequencing flexibility. |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Blocks current flow when VCC = 0 V-prevents backfeeding into powered subsystems during system sleep or fault conditions. |
| Standard '245 pinout | Pin-compatible with legacy 74-series bus transceivers-simplifies drop-in replacement in existing layouts and firmware. |
| Low dynamic loading | 5 pF OFF-state capacitance and 5 Ω ron minimize reflections, crosstalk, and timing skew in high-speed parallel buses. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTD3384DW | 10-bit, dual-supply (VCCA=2.3–3.6V, VCCB=3–5.5V), higher ron (7Ω typ), no Ioff | Requires separate VCC rails; lacks partial-power-down capability-unsuitable for hot-plug or asymmetric power sequencing. | Choose only if dual-voltage translation (e.g., 2.5V ↔ 5V) is required and Ioff is not critical. |
| SN74LVC245APW | Octal non-inverting transceiver, 3-state outputs, no level shifting, ron not specified, 3.3V-only operation | Cannot translate 5V inputs to lower voltages; requires external clamping or series resistors for 5V-tolerance. | Select only for same-voltage bus buffering where level shifting is handled elsewhere in the signal chain. |
Compared with SN74CB3T3245DW, SN74CBTD3384DW offers wider voltage flexibility but sacrifices Ioff and adds complexity, while SN74LVC245APW provides simpler buffering at the cost of zero level-shifting capability-making SN74CB3T3245DW uniquely suited for mixed-voltage, low-power, hot-plug-aware designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable I/O voltage for SN74CB3T3245DW when VCC = 0 V?
The SN74CB3T3245DW supports 5V-tolerant I/Os even when unpowered: VI/O can range from –0.5 V to 7 V regardless of VCC state. This allows safe connection to live 5V buses during power-up/down sequences and enables hot-swap functionality without risk of damage or backfeeding-critical for modular systems and field-replaceable units.
Does SN74CB3T3245DW require external pull-up resistors on the OE pin?
Yes-TI recommends tying OE to VCC via a pull-up resistor to ensure high-impedance state during power-up. The minimum resistor value depends on the driver's current-sinking capability; typical values range from 4.7 kΩ to 10 kΩ. This prevents undefined switching states and ensures deterministic bus isolation before firmware initialization.
Can SN74CB3T3245DW translate 1.8V signals to 3.3V?
No-SN74CB3T3245DW performs down-translation only: output voltage tracks VCC, so it converts higher input voltages (up to 5V) to VCC-level outputs (2.3–3.6V). It cannot boost 1.8V to 3.3V. For up-translation, a dedicated level shifter like TXS0108E or dual-supply switch (e.g., SN74AVC4T245) is required.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of SN74CB3T3245DW in its SOIC package?
The SN74CB3T3245DW in the DW (SOIC-20) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 58°C/W. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions and confirms suitability for continuous operation at full load within industrial temperature limits without forced airflow or heatsinking.
How does the Ioff feature of SN74CB3T3245DW protect downstream circuitry?
The Ioff feature disables current flow through the FET channels when VCC = 0 V, limiting Ioff leakage to ≤10 µA per I/O. This prevents back-driving powered subsystems from unpowered sections-protecting voltage regulators, microcontrollers, and memory devices from latch-up or unintended wake-up during partial power-down modes.
