Product details
Overview
SN74CB3T3384PW from Texas Instruments is a 24-pin TSSOP high-speed FET bus switch with bidirectional 10-bit data flow, 5 Ω typical ON-state resistance, 0.25 ns typical propagation delay at 3.3 V, and mixed-mode voltage translation supporting 0–5 V I/O signaling across 2.3–3.6 V VCC. It enables level translation between 5-V TTL, 3.3-V LVTTL, and 2.5-V CMOS in memory interleaving and bus isolation systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CB3T3384PW datasheet, SN74CB3T3384PW pinout, SN74CB3T3384PW application, or SN74CB3T3384PW equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual 5-bit switch architecture with independent OE control, Ioff partial-power-down support, 5 pF OFF-state I/O capacitance, and 5-V-tolerant I/Os with device powered up or down.
Technical Context
The SN74CB3T3384PW implements two independent 5-bit FET bus switches controlled by 1OE and 2OE inputs; each switch connects A-port to B-port bidirectionally when OE is low, and presents high-impedance isolation when OE is high. Its voltage-translation behavior tracks VCC, enabling output levels ≈VCC when input exceeds VCC − 1 V.
It features undervoltage clamp diodes on all data and control inputs, supports 5-V-tolerant operation regardless of VCC state, and guarantees latch-up immunity >250 mA per JESD 17. The Ioff specification ensures no backflow current during partial power-down, maintaining system-level isolation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - defines minimum/maximum supply for guaranteed logic operation and voltage translation accuracy |
| ron (Typical) | 5 Ω - enables minimal signal attenuation and <0.25 ns propagation delay in high-speed digital paths |
| Cio(OFF) (Typical) | 5 pF - reduces capacitive loading on driven buses, preserving signal integrity in dense routing |
| tpd (Max) | 0.25 ns at 3.3 V - ensures sub-nanosecond switching for DDR, memory, and high-frequency control applications |
| Ioff (Max) | 10 µA at VCC = 0 V - prevents damaging current flow during hot-insertion or partial power-down sequences |
| VI/O Range | 0 V to 5.5 V - allows direct interfacing with legacy 5-V logic without external level shifters |
| ICC (Max) | 40 µA - supports ultra-low static power in battery-powered portable equipment |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-24 package (PW), 7.9 mm × 4.5 mm footprint, 1.2 mm max height, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed metal pad not present.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE | Output-enable for first 5-bit switch | Active-low control: drives 1A1–1A5 ↔ 1B1–1B5 bidirectional path when low |
| 1A1–1A5, 1B1–1B5 | Data I/O ports for first switch bank | Bidirectional signal paths; support 0–5 V signaling independent of VCC |
| GND (Pin 12) | Ground reference | Primary return path for VCC and all I/O currents; must be low-impedance |
| VCC (Pin 13) | Power supply | Supplies internal bias and sets output voltage translation reference (≈VCC) |
| 2A1–2A5, 2B1–2B5 | Data I/O ports for second switch bank | Independent 5-bit bidirectional path, identical electrical characteristics to first bank |
| 2OE | Output-enable for second 5-bit switch | Active-low control: isolates or connects second bank independently of first |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode voltage translation | Tracks VCC to deliver ≈VCC output levels for inputs ≥VCC − 1 V, enabling seamless 5-V/3.3-V/2.5-V interoperation |
| 5-V-tolerant I/Os | Operates safely with 0–5.5 V signals on all data pins regardless of VCC state (powered up/down) |
| Ioff partial-power-down support | Blocks current backflow when VCC = 0 V, protecting upstream drivers during hot-swap or staged power sequencing |
| Low ON-state resistance | 5 Ω typical minimizes voltage drop and timing skew across 10-bit parallel paths |
| Undershoot clamp diodes | Integrated protection on all inputs limits negative transients to −1.2 V, reducing need for external TVS |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT3384PW | No voltage translation; fixed 3.3-V I/O only; lower ron (3 Ω typical); no 5-V tolerance on inputs | Suitable only in homogeneous 3.3-V systems; cannot replace SN74CB3T3384PW where 5-V input tolerance or mixed-voltage operation is required | Select when absolute minimum propagation delay (<0.15 ns) and lowest ON-resistance are critical, and all connected devices operate at 3.3 V. |
| SN74LVC1G3157DBVR | Single-pole double-throw (SPDT) analog switch; 1-channel; 6 Ω ron; 5-V tolerant; no dual-bank OE control | Lacks 10-bit parallel capability and independent bank enable; requires 10x devices for full replacement; higher board area and routing complexity | Consider only for point-to-point signal gating where dual-bank architecture is unnecessary and space permits discrete channel replication. |
Compared with SN74CB3T3384PW, SN74CBT3384PW offers faster switching but sacrifices voltage translation and 5-V tolerance, while SN74LVC1G3157DBVR provides single-channel flexibility at the cost of scalability and integrated dual-bank control-making SN74CB3T3384PW uniquely suited for compact, mixed-voltage 10-bit bus management.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the SN74CB3T3384PW?
The SN74CB3T3384PW is rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature, matching industrial-grade requirements. This range is confirmed in the "recommended operating conditions" table of the SCDS159B datasheet and applies specifically to the PW-package variant. Thermal performance is validated with θJA = 88°C/W under standard JEDEC test conditions.
Does the SN74CB3T3384PW support true bidirectional signal flow without direction control pins?
Yes, the SN74CB3T3384PW supports fully bidirectional data flow on all 10 I/O pairs (1A↔1B and 2A↔2B) without dedicated direction pins. Signal direction is determined solely by voltage differential and source impedance; the device functions identically whether driving from A-to-B or B-to-A, as verified in the functional diagram and switching characteristics tables of the datasheet.
Can the SN74CB3T3384PW be used with a 2.5-V supply to translate 5-V inputs down to 2.5-V outputs?
Yes, the SN74CB3T3384PW supports 5-V-to-2.5-V level translation when VCC = 2.5 V, as explicitly stated in the "Output Voltage Translation Tracks VCC" section and Figure 1 of the SCDS159B datasheet. Output high voltage approximates VCC (≈2.5 V) for inputs ≥VCC − 1 V (i.e., ≥1.5 V), satisfying 2.5-V CMOS logic thresholds.
Is the SN74CB3T3384PW pin-compatible with other members of the CB3T family such as SN74CB3T3384PWR?
Yes, the SN74CB3T3384PW and SN74CB3T3384PWR share identical TSSOP-24 (PW) package dimensions, pinout, and electrical specifications. The only difference is packaging format: PW is tube-packed (obsolete status per TI), while PWR is tape-and-reel. Both use the same KS384 top-side marking and are functionally interchangeable in PCB layout.
How does the Ioff feature of the SN74CB3T3384PW protect downstream circuitry during power-down?
The Ioff feature of the SN74CB3T3384PW limits current to ≤10 µA when VCC = 0 V and any I/O is biased to 0–5.5 V, preventing reverse current flow into a powered-down supply rail. This protects upstream drivers and avoids latch-up or damage during hot-plug events or staged power sequencing, as verified in the absolute maximum ratings and electrical characteristics sections of SCDS159B.
