Product details
Overview
SN74CBT16210DL from Texas Instruments is a 20-bit FET bus switch in SSOP-48 package, featuring 5 Ω typical on-state resistance, TTL-compatible control inputs (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V), and dual 10-bit independent switching with separate OE pins. It enables high-speed, low-propagation-delay interconnects in memory expansion and data-path isolation applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT16210DL datasheet, SN74CBT16210DL pinout, SN74CBT16210DL application, or SN74CBT16210DL equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5 Ω ron, 0.25 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V, ±1 µA input leakage, 4–5.5 V supply range, and dual-OE-controlled 20-bit bidirectional switching capability.
Technical Context
The SN74CBT16210DL implements two independent 10-bit FET-based transmission gates, each controlled by a dedicated OE input. Its CMOS-compatible control logic drives N-channel pass transistors with no internal level-shifting circuitry.
Each switch exhibits symmetrical A↔B conduction with minimal voltage drop (ron ≤ 7 Ω at 30 mA), supports bidirectional signal flow without direction control, and maintains high-impedance isolation when OE is high - enabling hot-swap and power-domain isolation use cases.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (ron) | 5 Ω typical at VCC = 4.5 V, ensuring <150 mV voltage drop at 30 mA for clean signal integrity |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.25 ns typical at VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF - enables sub-nanosecond interconnect timing |
| Supply voltage (VCC) | 4 V to 5.5 V - compatible with 5 V TTL and mixed-voltage system backplanes |
| Control input thresholds | VIH = 2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - fully TTL-compatible with legacy logic families |
| Input leakage current | ±1 µA max at VCC = 5.5 V - negligible loading on upstream drivers |
| Off-state capacitance (Cio) | 5.5 pF max - minimizes capacitive crosstalk and signal degradation in high-speed buses |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded and telecom equipment |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBT16210DL uses a 48-pin SSOP (DL) package with 0.5 mm pitch, 12.4 mm × 6.1 mm body size, and 1.2 mm max height per JEDEC MO-153. Pin 1 is located at top-left corner with notch marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A1–1A10, 2A1–2A10 | Port A inputs/outputs (first/second 10-bit group) | Unidirectional signal terminals tied to one side of respective 10-bit switch array |
| 1B1–1B10, 2B1–2B10 | Port B inputs/outputs (first/second 10-bit group) | Unidirectional signal terminals tied to opposite side of respective 10-bit switch array |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output-enable controls (active-low) | Independent enable for each 10-bit section - low = connect A↔B, high = high-Z isolation |
| VCC | Positive supply | Single 4–5.5 V rail powers all 20 switches and control logic |
| GND (pins 8, 17, 35, 46) | Ground reference | Four dedicated ground pins reduce switching noise and improve PSRR |
| NC (pins 1, 48) | No internal connection | Reserved positions - must remain unconnected per TI design |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low on-resistance | 5 Ω typical ensures minimal insertion loss and preserves signal amplitude across 20-bit paths |
| Dual independent OE control | Enables selective isolation of two 10-bit domains - e.g., isolate CPU address bus from peripheral I/O bus |
| TTL-compatible inputs | Eliminates need for level translators when interfacing with 74LS/74ALS logic or microcontroller GPIO |
| Bidirectional signal flow | No direction pin required - signals propagate equally well A→B or B→A within same switch path |
| High off-isolation | 5.5 pF Cio(OFF) and >10⁹ Ω off-resistance prevent coupling between powered and unpowered subsystems |
Applications
| Memory Expansion Interface | PCI/ISA Bus Isolation |
|---|---|
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTD16210DGGR | Includes bus-hold circuitry and higher drive strength; 6 Ω ron; TSSOP-48 package | Required where unused inputs must be held stable without external pull-ups | Choose SN74CBTD16210DGGR only if bus-hold functionality is needed; otherwise SN74CBT16210DL offers lower cost and identical switching performance |
| 74FST16210MTD | Fairchild part with 6.5 Ω ron, 0.3 ns tpd, same pinout but different thermal resistance (70°C/W vs 63°C/W) | Valid for drop-in replacement in existing DL-package layouts but requires validation of thermal margin at 85°C ambient | Select 74FST16210MTD only when TI supply continuity is constrained; verify junction temperature rise under worst-case load conditions |
Compared with SN74CBT16210DL, SN74CBTD16210DGGR adds bus-hold but increases package cost and power; 74FST16210MTD matches pinout and function but has higher thermal impedance - making SN74CBT16210DL optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally unconstrained 5 V bus-switching designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating per channel for SN74CBT16210DL?
The SN74CBT16210DL supports up to 128 mA continuous channel current per switch path, as specified in its absolute maximum ratings. This rating applies across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and ensures reliable conduction without thermal runaway when used within recommended VCC and load conditions. The device's 5 Ω typical on-resistance keeps self-heating well within safe limits at this current level.
Does SN74CBT16210DL support hot-swap operation?
Yes, SN74CBT16210DL supports hot-swap operation due to its high-impedance off-state (≥10⁹ Ω), low off-capacitance (5.5 pF), and rail-to-rail input tolerance (–0.5 V to 7 V). When OE is high, the switch presents near-ideal isolation between ports, preventing back-powering or signal injection into live subsystems - a key requirement for hot-pluggable modules using the SN74CBT16210DL.
Can SN74CBT16210DL operate with a 3.3 V supply?
No, SN74CBT16210DL is not rated for 3.3 V operation. Its recommended VCC range is 4 V to 5.5 V, and the absolute minimum supply is 4 V. At 3.3 V, the device fails to meet VIH/VIL thresholds (2 V/0.8 V), resulting in undefined control behavior and degraded ron performance. For 3.3 V systems, consider TI's SN74CB3Q16210 or similar 3.3 V–optimized bus switches instead of SN74CBT16210DL.
How many ground pins does SN74CBT16210DL have, and why are they distributed?
SN74CBT16210DL has four dedicated ground pins (pins 8, 17, 35, and 46) placed symmetrically across the SSOP-48 package. This distribution minimizes ground loop inductance and reduces simultaneous switching noise (SSN) by providing low-impedance return paths for all 20 switch channels. TI's layout guidance confirms that using all four GND pins is mandatory to achieve specified tpd and noise immunity in the SN74CBT16210DL.
Is SN74CBT16210DL pin-compatible with SN74CBT16210DGGR or SN74CBT16210DGVR?
Yes, SN74CBT16210DL is pin-compatible with SN74CBT16210DGGR (TSSOP-48) and SN74CBT16210DGVR (TVSOP-48): all share identical 48-pin functional mapping, pin numbering, and signal assignments per TI's package drawings. However, mechanical dimensions differ - DL is wider (12.4 mm) than DGG (7.9 mm) and DGV (6.2 mm) - so PCB land patterns are not interchangeable despite electrical pin compatibility in the SN74CBT16210DL family.
