Product details
Overview
SN74CBT16212ADLR from Texas Instruments is a 24-bit high-speed TTL-compatible bus switch with 5-Ω on-state resistance, operating at 4 V to 5.5 V supply, supporting bidirectional signal routing between two 12-bit ports via S0–S2 select lines, and used in high-density memory expansion and FPGA I/O bridging applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT16212ADLR datasheet, SN74CBT16212ADLR pinout, SN74CBT16212ADLR application, or SN74CBT16212ADLR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.25 ns typical propagation delay (VCC = 5 V), ±1 µA input leakage, 7.5 pF off-state I/O capacitance, and SSOP-56 package thermal performance (θJA = 56°C/W).
Technical Context
The SN74CBT16212ADLR implements a dual 12-bit bus exchanger architecture controlled by three select inputs (S0, S1, S2), enabling eight distinct switching configurations including port-to-port pass-through, crossbar exchange, and high-impedance disconnect. Its NMOS-only transmission gate design delivers rail-to-rail analog/digital signal handling without level-shifting limitations.
Each of the 24 independent A/B channel pairs exhibits matched on-resistance (4–7 Ω typ at VCC = 4.5 V), sub-1 ns enable/disable timing (ten/tdis ≤ 10.4 ns), and TTL-compatible control thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V), ensuring interoperability with legacy 5-V logic families while maintaining low dynamic power (ICC = 3 µA max).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (ron) | 4–7 Ω typical at VCC = 4.5 V - enables minimal voltage drop (<320 mV at 64 mA) for clean signal integrity in high-speed data paths. |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.25 ns typical at VCC = 5 V - supports >1 GHz effective switching rates for DDR memory buffering and FPGA interconnect. |
| Supply voltage range | 4 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5-V TTL and mixed-voltage system rails without external regulation. |
| Input leakage current | ±1 µA max - ensures stable control logic states under hot-swap or partial-power conditions. |
| Off-state I/O capacitance | 7.5 pF - minimizes capacitive loading on adjacent traces, critical for maintaining signal rise/fall times in dense PCB layouts. |
| Operating temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded systems including telecom line cards and industrial PLCs. |
| ESD protection | 200-V machine model (JESD 22-A115) - provides robust handling during board assembly and field service. |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBT16212ADLR uses a 56-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with 0.5-mm pitch, 13.9 mm × 7.9 mm body size, and 1.2-mm maximum height. The package features exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected) and conforms to JEDEC MO-153.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC (Pin 33) | Power supply | Primary 4–5.5 V rail for all internal switches and control logic; decoupling required within 5 mm. |
| GND (Pins 8, 25, 34, 52) | Ground reference | Four dedicated ground pins minimize ground bounce across 24-channel operation; must be tied to solid plane. |
| S0, S1, S2 (Pins 1, 2, 3) | Mode select inputs | 3-bit binary control determining A/B port mapping per function table; TTL-compatible thresholds ensure noise margin. |
| A1–A12, B1–B12 (Pins 4–7, 9–24, 26–32, 35–51, 53–56) | Signal channel terminals | 24 bidirectional I/O pairs; each pair connects A-side to B-side when enabled; no directionality or biasing required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5-Ω low on-resistance | Enables <320 mV voltage drop at full 64 mA channel current, preserving logic margins in 5-V systems. |
| TTL-compatible control inputs | VIH = 2 V / VIL = 0.8 V eliminates need for level shifters when interfacing with legacy microcontrollers or FPGAs. |
| Latch-up immunity >250 mA | Meets JESD 17 Class II requirements, preventing destructive latch-up during transient overvoltage events. |
| 0.25 ns propagation delay | Supports sub-nanosecond timing closure in high-speed memory buffers and FPGA I/O expansion paths. |
| 7.5 pF off-state capacitance | Reduces crosstalk and signal degradation in parallel bus architectures with tight trace spacing. |
Applications
| Memory Expansion Interface | FPGA I/O Bridging |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT16210ADL | 20-bit version (10-bit exchanger), identical Ron (4–7 Ω), same SSOP-48 package. | Limited to 10-bit data paths; lacks two A/B channel pairs and one select input (S2). | Select when 20-bit width suffices and board space constraints favor smaller 48-pin footprint. |
| SN74CBTD16212DGGR | TSSOP-56 package, 3.3-V optimized (VCC = 2.3–3.6 V), lower Ron (2.5–4 Ω), higher ICC (10 µA). | Designed for 3.3-V systems only; incompatible with 5-V logic without level translation. | Choose for new 3.3-V designs requiring lower on-resistance and better thermal performance (θJA = 64°C/W → 48°C/W). |
Compared with SN74CBT16212ADLR, SN74CBT16210ADL reduces channel count and package size but maintains identical electrical behavior per channel, while SN74CBTD16212DGGR shifts to 3.3-V operation with improved Ron and thermal metrics-neither is pin-compatible, requiring layout revision.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current per channel for SN74CBT16212ADLR?
The SN74CBT16212ADLR supports up to 128 mA continuous channel current per A/B pair, verified per absolute maximum ratings. This allows safe operation at 64 mA with full 5-Ω on-resistance specification, delivering predictable voltage drop (<320 mV) without thermal derating in standard industrial ambient conditions.
Does SN74CBT16212ADLR require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on control inputs S0–S2?
No, SN74CBT16212ADLR does not require external biasing on S0–S2. Its TTL-compatible inputs have defined VIH (2 V) and VIL (0.8 V) thresholds, and TI's recommended operating conditions specify that unused control inputs must be held at VCC or GND-achievable directly via MCU GPIO or fixed rail connections without resistors.
Can SN74CBT16212ADLR operate reliably at 3.3 V supply?
No, SN74CBT16212ADLR is not specified for 3.3 V operation. Its recommended VCC range is 4 V to 5.5 V, and electrical characteristics-including on-resistance, propagation delay, and input thresholds-are guaranteed only within that range. For 3.3-V systems, consider SN74CBTD16212DGGR instead.
How many unique switching configurations does SN74CBT16212ADLR support via S0–S2?
The SN74CBT16212ADLR supports eight distinct switching configurations as defined in its function table, controlled by the 3-bit S0–S2 inputs. These include full disconnect, 12-bit port pass-through (A→B or B→A), 12-bit cross-exchange (A↔B), and four mixed-mode modes where subsets of A/B channels are routed independently.
Is SN74CBT16212ADLR RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, SN74CBT16212ADLR is RoHS compliant with lead-free finish (NIPDAU) and meets JEDEC MSL Level-1 (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH). Its SSOP-DL package carries "CBT16212A" top-side marking and is rated for reflow up to 260°C peak temperature per JEDEC J-STD-020.
