Product details
Overview
SN74CB3T3245PWR from Texas Instruments is an 8-bit FET bus switch with bidirectional data flow, 5Ω typical ON-state resistance, 5V-tolerant I/Os, and VCC-operated voltage translation (2.3V–3.6V). It enables level shifting between 5V TTL and 2.5V/3.3V logic domains in PCI and USB interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CB3T3245PWR datasheet, SN74CB3T3245PWR pinout, SN74CB3T3245PWR application, or SN74CB3T3245PWR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, TSSOP-20 package details, mixed-mode signal operation support, and real-world level-shifting use cases - all confirmed against TI's SCDS136E production datasheet (May 2026 revision).
Technical Context
The SN74CB3T3245PWR implements eight independent FET-based transmission gates controlled by a single active-low OE input, supporting true bidirectional signal flow with near-zero propagation delay (0.15 ns at 2.5V, 0.25 ns at 3.3V). Its output voltage tracks VCC, enabling down-translation from 5V inputs to 2.5V or 3.3V outputs depending on supply voltage.
It features Ioff protection for partial-power-down operation, undershoot clamp diodes on all I/O and control pins, and 5V tolerance regardless of VCC state (powered up or down). The device operates across –40°C to +85°C and meets JESD 17 latch-up (>250 mA) and JESD 22 ESD standards (2000V HBM, 1000V CDM).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3V to 3.6V - defines compatible host logic families (2.5V/3.3V systems) and enables mixed-voltage domain interfacing. |
| ron (Typical) | 5Ω at VCC = 2.5V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and preserves edge integrity for high-speed digital buses. |
| Propagation Delay | 0.15 ns (2.5V), 0.25 ns (3.3V) - enables sub-nanosecond timing-critical applications like memory interleaving and PCIe sideband signaling. |
| I/O Voltage Range | 0V to 5.5V - supports 5V-tolerant operation with legacy peripherals while powered at 2.5V or 3.3V, eliminating external level shifters. |
| ICC (Max) | 40 µA - enables ultra-low static power consumption suitable for battery-powered portable equipment and always-on subsystems. |
| Cio(OFF) (Typical) | 5 pF - minimizes capacitive loading on upstream drivers and preserves signal rise/fall times in high-frequency bus isolation. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded systems including automotive infotainment and industrial PLC backplanes. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 (PW) package: 6.5 mm × 6.4 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 NC | No internal connection | Unused pad - must be left floating or grounded per layout best practices; no electrical function. |
| 2–9 A1–A8 | Data I/O port A | Bidirectional switch input terminals; accept 0–5.5V signals regardless of VCC state. |
| 10 GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for switch current and control logic; requires low-inductance PCB connection. |
| 11–18 B1–B8 | Data I/O port B | Bidirectional switch output terminals; voltage level tracks VCC during translation mode. |
| 19 OE | Active-low enable | Controls all eight switches simultaneously; high = high-impedance isolation, low = ON-state conduction. |
| 20 VCC | Power supply | Supplies gate drive for internal FETs; sets output voltage translation level and defines logic compatibility. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Standard '245-type pinout | Enables drop-in replacement for legacy 74-series bus switches without PCB redesign or footprint change. |
| Output voltage translation tracking VCC | Eliminates need for external resistive dividers or dedicated level translators when interfacing 5V controllers to 2.5V/3.3V peripherals. |
| 5V-tolerant I/Os (powered up/down) | Permits hot-plug capability and safe operation during power sequencing mismatches in multi-rail systems. |
| Ioff partial-power-down support | Prevents damaging back-current flow when VCC is off, enabling safe integration into systems with staggered power domains. |
| Mixed-mode signal operation | Allows simultaneous 5V, 3.3V, and 2.5V signaling on same bus - critical for USB 2.0 transceivers and PCI Express sideband lines. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTD3384PWR | 10-bit, dual-supply (VCCA/VCCB), 3.3V/5V translation; higher ron (7Ω typ), larger TSSOP-24 package. | Supports asymmetric voltage translation (e.g., 3.3V ↔ 5V) but lacks Ioff and 2.5V operation. | Select when bidirectional 3.3V↔5V level shifting is required and 2.5V compatibility is unnecessary. |
| SN74AVC4T245RGYR | 4-bit, dual-supply, auto-direction sensing; lower ron (3.5Ω), supports 1.2V–3.6V VCCA/VCCB; no 5V tolerance. | Requires direction control or auto-sensing; not 5V-tolerant - unsuitable for legacy 5V peripheral interfacing. | Select for compact 4-bit translation in modern low-voltage SoC interconnects where 5V tolerance is irrelevant. |
Compared with SN74CB3T3245PWR, SN74CBTD3384PWR offers dual-supply flexibility but sacrifices 2.5V operation and Ioff safety; SN74AVC4T245RGYR provides better ron and density but cannot interface with 5V systems - making SN74CB3T3245PWR uniquely suited for mixed-voltage industrial backplanes requiring robustness and wide VCC range.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable I/O voltage for SN74CB3T3245PWR when VCC = 0V?
The SN74CB3T3245PWR supports 5V-tolerant I/Os even when unpowered: VI/O can safely reach 5.5V with VCC = 0V, enabled by internal clamp structures and Ioff protection. This allows safe hot-plug operation and power sequencing independence. The SN74CB3T3245PWR maintains this rating across its full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), as verified in Section 5.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings of the SCDS136E datasheet.
Does SN74CB3T3245PWR support 2.5V operation with 5V input signals?
Yes. With VCC = 2.5V, the SN74CB3T3245PWR performs 5V-to-2.5V down-translation on all eight channels, as explicitly stated in Feature section "Supports mixed-mode signal operation" and validated in Figure 7-1 DC voltage translation curves. The output voltage tracks VCC, ensuring clean 2.5V logic levels while accepting 5V inputs - a core capability confirmed in TI's recommended operating conditions (Section 5.3) and functional description (Section 7.1).
What is the typical ON-state resistance (ron) of SN74CB3T3245PWR at VCC = 3.3V?
The typical ON-state resistance (ron) of SN74CB3T3245PWR is 5Ω at VCC = 3.3V, measured at IO = 32mA (Section 5.5 Electrical Characteristics). This value is consistent across temperature and ensures minimal voltage drop (<165 mV) and negligible power loss (<5.3 mW per channel), preserving signal swing and timing margins in high-speed digital buses.
How does the OE pin function on SN74CB3T3245PWR?
The OE (Output Enable) pin on SN74CB3T3245PWR is active-low: when OE = low, all eight A↔B switches turn ON for bidirectional conduction; when OE = high, all channels enter high-impedance isolation. To ensure defined state during power-up, TI recommends tying OE to VCC via a pullup resistor (Section 7.1). This behavior is documented in Table 7-1 Function Table and Figure 7-2 Logic Diagram.
Is SN74CB3T3245PWR compatible with standard '245 pinout layouts?
Yes. The SN74CB3T3245PWR uses the industry-standard '245 pinout configuration (A1–A8 on pins 2–9, B1–B8 on pins 11–18, OE on pin 19, VCC on pin 20, GND on pin 10), as confirmed in Figure 4-1 and Table 4-1 Pin Functions. This enables direct PCB footprint compatibility with legacy 74LS245, 74LVC245, and other '245-family devices - no layout changes required for migration.
