Product details
Overview
SN74CB3T3245DWRG4 from Texas Instruments is an 8-bit FET bus switch with bidirectional data flow, 5V-tolerant I/Os, and VCC-tracked level shifting (2.5V/3.3V operation). It delivers near-zero propagation delay (0.25 ns at 3.3V), 5Ω typical ON-state resistance, and 5pF OFF-state I/O capacitance for high-speed mixed-mode signal routing in voltage-translating interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CB3T3245DWRG4 datasheet, SN74CB3T3245DWRG4 pinout, SN74CB3T3245DWRG4 application, or SN74CB3T3245DWRG4 equivalent, this device serves as a low-power, TTL-compatible bus isolator supporting 0–5V signaling across 2.3–3.6V VCC, with Ioff-enabled partial-power-down capability and robust ESD protection (2000V HBM).
Technical Context
The SN74CB3T3245DWRG4 implements eight independent FET-based analog switches controlled by a single active-low OE input, enabling or disabling bidirectional A↔B port connectivity. Its output voltage translation directly tracks VCC, allowing down-shifting from 5V/3.3V inputs to 3.3V/2.5V outputs without external components.
Each switch features undershoot clamp diodes on data and control inputs, supports mixed-mode operation across 0.8V–5V logic families, and maintains 5V tolerance regardless of power state-enabling hot-insertion and safe I/O isolation during system power sequencing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3V to 3.6V - Enables operation in both 2.5V and 3.3V systems with margin for supply variation. |
| ron (Typical) | 5Ω - Minimizes voltage drop and signal distortion under 32mA load, critical for integrity in high-speed buses. |
| Cio(OFF) | 5pF - Reduces capacitive loading on upstream drivers and prevents signal degradation in fan-out scenarios. |
| Propagation Delay | 0.25ns at 3.3V - Enables sub-nanosecond timing budgets for PCIe, USB, and memory interleave applications. |
| Ioff Current | 10µA - Blocks backflow current during partial power-down, protecting unpowered subsystems from damage. |
| ESD Rating | ±2000V HBM - Meets Class II human-body model requirements for reliable handling in manufacturing and field service. |
| Signal Range | 0V to 5.5V - Supports interoperability across 0.8V, 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V logic families without level-shifter ICs. |
Pinout & Package
SN74CB3T3245DWRG4 uses a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package measuring 12.8mm × 10.3mm, with standard '245-type pinout and no internal connection on Pin 1 (NC). The package supports surface-mount reflow per Level-1 MSL rating and features NIPDAU lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 NC | No internal connection | Unused pad; must be left floating or tied to GND/VCC per layout best practice-no electrical function. |
| 2–9 A1–A8 | Switch input terminals (Port A) | Bidirectional data inputs/outputs connected to one side of the FET switch array; 5V-tolerant. |
| 10 GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for VCC and all I/O signals; requires low-inductance PCB connection. |
| 11–18 B1–B8 | Switch output terminals (Port B) | Bidirectional data inputs/outputs connected to opposite side of FET array; voltage level tracks VCC. |
| 19 OE | Active-low output enable | Controls global switch state: low = A↔B conductive; high = high-impedance isolation between ports. |
| 20 VCC | Power supply | Supplies gate drive and bias for all eight FETs; requires local 0.1µF bypass capacitor per TI recommendation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Output voltage translation | Tracks VCC precisely-enables deterministic 5V→3.3V or 5V/3.3V→2.5V down-shifting without external resistors or regulators. |
| Mixed-mode signal support | Simultaneous 0.8V–5V signaling on all I/Os-eliminates need for discrete level translators in heterogeneous logic systems. |
| 5V-tolerant I/Os | Operational with VI/O up to 7V regardless of VCC state-supports hot-plug, legacy 5V peripheral interfacing, and safe power sequencing. |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Blocks >99% of backflow current when VCC = 0V-prevents damage to powered-down sections in multi-rail embedded systems. |
| Low ON-state resistance | 5Ω typical at 2.5V VCC-preserves signal edge rate and reduces insertion loss in high-frequency data paths (e.g., USB 2.0, PCI). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT3245CPWRE4 | Higher ron (7Ω typ), 3.3V-only VCC range (3.0–3.6V), no 2.5V support | Limited to 3.3V systems; lacks 2.5V down-shift capability and wider VCC margin | Select when only 3.3V operation is required and cost sensitivity outweighs 2.5V flexibility. |
| SN74LVC245APWRE4 | Direction-controlled (non-bidirectional), higher propagation delay (3.5ns), no VCC-tracking translation | Requires external level shifters for mixed-voltage use; unsuitable for true bidirectional bus isolation | Choose only for unidirectional 3.3V↔3.3V buffering where translation is handled elsewhere. |
Compared with SN74CB3T3245DWRG4, SN74CBT3245CPWRE4 sacrifices 2.5V compatibility and adds 40% ron penalty, while SN74LVC245APWRE4 abandons bidirectionality and voltage tracking-making SN74CB3T3245DWRG4 uniquely suited for compact, low-latency, mixed-voltage bus switching.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage on the I/O pins of SN74CB3T3245DWRG4?
The SN74CB3T3245DWRG4 supports VI/O up to 7V regardless of VCC state-verified per Absolute Maximum Ratings. This 5V-tolerant behavior enables safe interfacing with legacy 5V peripherals and hot-plug operation even when the device is unpowered, with clamp diodes limiting overshoot/undershoot.
Does SN74CB3T3245DWRG4 support true bidirectional data flow without direction control pins?
Yes, SN74CB3T3245DWRG4 provides fully bidirectional A↔B signal routing through a single OE pin-no DIR pin required. When OE is low, all eight channels conduct equally in either direction with matched 5Ω ron, enabling seamless data exchange in protocols like I²C, SMBus, and shared-memory buses.
How does the VCC-tracking level shifting work in SN74CB3T3245DWRG4?
In SN74CB3T3245DWRG4, output voltage levels track VCC directly: with 2.5V VCC, 5V inputs translate to ~2.5V outputs; with 3.3V VCC, same inputs yield ~3.3V outputs. This is achieved via FET gate biasing that ties VO to VCC-not a regulated LDO-ensuring deterministic, low-latency translation without external components.
What is the thermal performance of SN74CB3T3245DWRG4 in its SOIC (DW) package?
SN74CB3T3245DWRG4 in the DW package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 58°C/W. At 40µA ICC and 3.3V VCC, self-heating is negligible (<0.1°C rise), making it suitable for thermally constrained PCB layouts without heatsinking-even in stacked or enclosed industrial enclosures.
Can SN74CB3T3245DWRG4 be used in partial-power-down systems?
Yes, SN74CB3T3245DWRG4 incorporates Ioff circuitry that limits current to 10µA when VCC = 0V, preventing damaging backflow from live I/Os into unpowered sections. This meets JESD78 latch-up immunity and enables safe use in multi-rail systems undergoing staggered power sequencing.
