Product details
Overview
SN74CB3T3383DW from Texas Instruments is a 10-bit high-speed FET bus-exchange switch with bidirectional data flow, 5 Ω typical ON-state resistance, 8 pF typical OFF-state I/O capacitance, and VCC-operated voltage translation (2.3 V to 3.6 V) for mixed-mode signal interfacing between 5-V, 3.3-V, and 2.5-V logic domains in memory interleaving and bus isolation systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CB3T3383DW datasheet, SN74CB3T3383DW pinout, SN74CB3T3383DW application, or SN74CB3T3383DW equivalent, key selection criteria include its near-zero propagation delay (0.15 ns min at 3.3 V), Ioff partial-power-down support, 5-V-tolerant I/Os with device powered up or down, and SOIC-24 package compatibility with legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74CB3T3383DW implements a dual 5-bit bus-exchange architecture controlled by BE (bus-enable) and BX (bus-exchange select) inputs, enabling dynamic reconfiguration of A/B port connectivity: when BE is low, BX selects either straight-through (A1↔B1, A2↔B2) or cross-switched (A1↔B2, A2↔B1) paths; when BE is high, all ports enter high-impedance isolation.
Its voltage translation tracks VCC directly-output levels follow VCC ±1 V input thresholds-enabling interoperability across TTL, LVTTL, and CMOS signaling standards without external level-shifting components; the integrated undershoot clamp diodes on all data and control inputs protect against negative transients down to −1.2 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - defines minimum/maximum supply for guaranteed operation and voltage translation accuracy |
| ron (Typ) | 5 Ω - ensures minimal insertion loss and signal integrity for high-speed digital buses up to 100+ MHz |
| Cio(OFF) (Typ) | 8 pF - reduces capacitive loading on driven nets, preserving edge rates and minimizing crosstalk |
| tpd (Min) | 0.15 ns at 3.3 V - enables sub-nanosecond switching critical for DDR memory timing and high-frequency bus arbitration |
| Ioff Support | 10 µA max at VCC = 0 V - prevents back-current flow during partial power-down, protecting upstream drivers |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements for handling and board-level ESD immunity |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - supports deployment in extended-temperature industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package
SN74CB3T3383DW is housed in a 24-pin SOIC (DW) package with 0.65 mm lead pitch, 7.5 mm × 15.4 mm body dimensions, and 46°C/W thermal resistance (θJA). Pin 1 is located at the top-left corner with index marking adjacent to pin 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BE (Pin 1) | Bus-enable control input | Active-low global enable: drives all internal switches into high-Z when high; must be pulled up to VCC for safe power-up sequencing |
| BX (Pin 2) | Bus-exchange select input | Determines path mapping (straight vs. crossed) only when BE is low; TTL/CMOS-compatible input threshold |
| 1A1–1A2, 2A1–2A2, 3A1–3A2, 4A1–4A2, 5A1–5A2 (Pins 3–4, 6–7, 14–15, 17–18, 20–21) | Data input/output ports (A-side) | Bidirectional I/Os supporting 0–5 V signaling; 5-V tolerant regardless of VCC state; clamped to −1.2 V |
| 1B1–1B2, 2B1–2B2, 3B1–3B2, 4B1–4B2, 5B1–5B2 (Pins 5, 8–9, 13, 16, 19, 22–24) | Data input/output ports (B-side) | Electrically identical to A-side ports; full symmetry enables flexible PCB routing and signal mirroring |
| GND (Pin 11) | Ground reference | Primary return path for switch current and control logic; requires low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce |
| VCC (Pin 12) | Power supply | Supplies both control logic and switch gate drive; sets output voltage translation reference; bypass capacitor required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode voltage translation | Output voltage tracks VCC within ±1 V window - eliminates need for discrete level shifters in multi-rail systems |
| 5-V-tolerant I/Os | Operates with 5-V signals while powered from 2.5 V or 3.3 V - enables legacy 5-V peripheral interfacing without external buffers |
| Partial-power-down protection (Ioff) | Leakage <10 µA when VCC = 0 V - prevents backflow damage to live rails during hot-swap or staggered power sequencing |
| Near-zero propagation delay | 0.15 ns min at 3.3 V - preserves timing margins in high-speed memory and processor interconnect applications |
| Low ON-state resistance | 5 Ω typical - minimizes voltage drop and power dissipation (<1 mW per switch at 10 mA) in active signal paths |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus-exchange switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT3383CDW | Higher ICC (50 µA max), no Ioff support, fixed straight-through topology only (no BX control) | Lacks bus-exchange capability and partial-power-down protection - unsuitable for hot-swap or dynamic reconfiguration use cases | Choose only if BX functionality and Ioff are unnecessary and lower cost is prioritized over design flexibility |
| SN74LVC1G3157DCKR | Single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switch, 6 Ω ron, 5-V tolerant, but no BE/BX control logic or multi-bit coordination | Requires five separate devices to match SN74CB3T3383DW's 10-bit function - increases layout complexity and routing congestion | Select when only one signal path needs exchange and space-constrained designs justify discrete implementation |
Compared with SN74CB3T3383DW, SN74CBT3383CDW sacrifices reconfigurability and power-down safety for lower static current, while SN74LVC1G3157DCKR trades integration density for modularity - neither provides the combined bus-exchange control, Ioff, and 10-bit coordination of the original.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the SN74CB3T3383DW?
The SN74CB3T3383DW does not specify a maximum data rate in its datasheet, but its 0.15 ns minimum propagation delay and 8 pF OFF-state capacitance enable reliable operation at DDR clock frequencies up to 500 MHz in point-to-point configurations. Signal integrity depends on PCB layout, termination, and load capacitance - keep trace lengths short and avoid stubs to maintain eye diagram compliance for SN74CB3T3383DW-based links.
Can the SN74CB3T3383DW operate with VCC = 2.5 V while interfacing 5-V inputs?
Yes, the SN74CB3T3383DW supports 5-V-tolerant I/Os regardless of VCC state. With VCC = 2.5 V, it translates 5-V inputs down to ~2.5 V outputs (tracking VCC −1 V to VCC), meeting 2.5-V CMOS VIH/VIL thresholds. This capability is confirmed in Figure 1 and the "Output Voltage Translation Tracks VCC" feature statement in the SN74CB3T3383DW datasheet.
How should the BE and BX pins be handled during power-up to ensure safe operation?
During power-up, BE must be held high (via pullup to VCC) until VCC stabilizes to prevent unintended switch activation; BX may float but TI recommends tying unused control inputs to VCC or GND per SCBA004. The SN74CB3T3383DW datasheet specifies that improper BE sequencing can cause momentary contention - always use a ≥10-kΩ pullup on BE referenced to the same VCC rail driving the SN74CB3T3383DW.
Does the SN74CB3T3383DW require external biasing or termination resistors?
No, the SN74CB3T3383DW requires no external biasing - its CMOS-compatible control inputs (BE, BX) accept TTL or 3.3-V/5-V CMOS logic levels directly. Termination resistors are not integrated and must be placed externally based on transmission-line requirements; the 5 Ω ron and 8 pF Cio(OFF) allow clean signal pass-through up to 200 MHz without added termination in short traces.
Is the SN74CB3T3383DW pin-compatible with other packages in the same family?
No - the SN74CB3T3383DW (SOIC-24) has identical pinout and functionality to SN74CB3T3383DBQR (SSOP-24), SN74CB3T3383PWR (TSSOP-24), and SN74CB3T3383DGVR (TVSOP-24), as confirmed by TI's package drawings and ordering table. All share identical pin numbering, signal assignments, and electrical behavior - only physical dimensions and thermal performance differ.
