Product details
Overview
SN74CBT16212CDLR from Texas Instruments is a 24-bit bidirectional FET bus-exchange switch with 3 Ω typical ON-state resistance, near-zero propagation delay (0.15 ns at VCC = 5 V), and −2 V undershoot protection on A/B ports. It operates from 4 V to 5.5 V and supports mixed-voltage signaling (0.8 V to 5 V) in PCI interface and bus isolation applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT16212CDLR datasheet, SN74CBT16212CDLR pinout, SN74CBT16212CDLR application, or SN74CBT16212CDLR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 56-pin SSOP (DL) package, Ioff partial-power-down capability, 8 pF OFF-state I/O capacitance, and 3-state control via S0–S2 select inputs for 12-bit data exchange routing.
Technical Context
The SN74CBT16212CDLR implements a dual-12-bit bus-exchange architecture controlled by three select lines (S0, S1, S2), enabling eight configurable data-path modes including direct A↔B connection, cross-switching (A1↔B2/A2↔B1), and high-impedance disconnect. Each of its 24 bidirectional switch channels uses low-threshold FETs with active undershoot-protection circuitry that clamps transient voltages down to −2 V while maintaining OFF-state integrity.
It features TTL-compatible control inputs, supports hot-swap and partial-power-down via Ioff (10 µA max at VCC = 0), and maintains signal integrity with Cio(OFF) = 8 pF typical and ron = 3 Ω typical - critical for low-distortion signal gating in memory interleaving and backplane applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4 V to 5.5 V - enables interoperability with 5-V and 3.3-V logic domains without level shifters. |
| ron (Typical) | 3 Ω - minimizes voltage drop and power loss during signal pass-through; supports ±128 mA channel current. |
| tpd (Max) | 0.24 ns at VCC = 4 V - ensures sub-nanosecond timing alignment for high-speed parallel buses like PCI. |
| Cio(OFF) | 8 pF typical - reduces capacitive loading on driven nets, preserving edge rate and signal fidelity. |
| Undershoot Protection | −2 V on A/B ports - prevents false triggering or latch-up during negative transients in hot-plug or noisy environments. |
| Ioff | 10 µA max at VCC = 0 - blocks backflow current during system power sequencing, protecting powered-down subsystems. |
| VI/O Range | 0 V to 5.5 V - allows seamless interfacing with 0.8-V to 5-V logic families without external biasing. |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBT16212CDLR is housed in a 56-pin SSOP (Shrink Small-Outline Package) with 0.635 mm pitch, 13.9 mm × 7.4 mm body size, and 1.2 mm max height per JEDEC MO-194. Pin 1 is located at top-left corner with index marking in Q1 quadrant of tape reel.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A1–12A1, 1A2–12A2 | A-side data I/O (24 pins) | Bidirectional switch terminals for first/second 12-bit A-port lanes; connect to source bus segments. |
| 1B1–12B1, 1B2–12B2 | B-side data I/O (24 pins) | Bidirectional switch terminals for first/second 12-bit B-port lanes; connect to destination or mirrored bus segments. |
| S0, S1, S2 | Select control inputs | 3-bit binary address determining data path mode (e.g., A1↔B1, A1↔B2, or disconnect); TTL/CMOS compatible. |
| VCC | Power supply | Single 4–5.5 V rail powering internal logic and switch FETs; decoupling required near pin 27. |
| GND (Pins 8, 25, 39, 52) | Ground reference | Four dedicated ground pins minimize ground bounce and ensure stable switching thresholds across all 24 channels. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional bus exchange | Enables dynamic reconfiguration of 12-bit data paths (e.g., A1↔B2 + A2↔B1) without direction-control signals or added latency. |
| Active undershoot protection | Detects −2 V transients on A/B ports and forces switch OFF state, preventing false conduction during hot-insertion or ESD events. |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Guarantees <10 µA leakage when VCC = 0, allowing safe insertion/removal into live backplanes without disrupting adjacent powered circuits. |
| Low ON-state resistance | 3 Ω typical ron ensures <50 mV voltage drop at 15 mA per channel - critical for maintaining logic-high margins in 3.3-V and 5-V systems. |
| Mixed-voltage I/O support | 0–5.5 V data I/O range permits direct connection to 0.8-V, 1.2-V, 1.5-V, 1.8-V, 2.5-V, 3.3-V, and 5-V logic without level translators. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTD16212DGGR | Includes power-down disable (OE#) and higher ron (5 Ω typical); TSSOP-56 package. | Requires OE# signal for output control; less suitable for pure select-driven exchange without additional logic. | Choose when explicit output enable/disable is needed alongside S0–S2 routing. |
| PI74CBT16212AE | Pin-compatible but rated for −40°C to 105°C; 4.5–5.5 V VCC only; same ron and tpd specs. | Targeted for extended-temperature industrial/military use; not qualified for 4-V operation. | Choose for automotive under-hood or high-temp industrial control where wider VCC range is unnecessary. |
Compared with SN74CBT16212CDLR, SN74CBTD16212DGGR adds an OE# input for finer output control but sacrifices 1 V of VCC headroom and increases ron, while PI74CBT16212AE extends temperature range at the cost of minimum supply voltage flexibility - making SN74CBT16212CDLR optimal for cost-sensitive, wide-VCC commercial designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the SN74CBT16212CDLR?
The SN74CBT16212CDLR is specified for operation from −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature, validated per JEDEC JESD22-A108 thermal cycling and JESD22-A104 high-temperature operating life tests. This range aligns with commercial and industrial-grade requirements and is confirmed in TI's Package Option Addendum for the DL package variant.
Does the SN74CBT16212CDLR support hot-swap functionality?
Yes, the SN74CBT16212CDLR supports hot-swap through its Ioff feature, which limits current flow to ≤10 µA when VCC = 0 V while VI/O remains within −0.5 V to 7 V. This prevents back-driving of powered-down sections and is validated per JESD78 Class II latch-up testing at 100 mA.
Can the SN74CBT16212CDLR be used with 1.8-V logic interfaces?
Yes, the SN74CBT16212CDLR supports 1.8-V signaling on its data I/O ports (A/B) across the full 0–5.5 V range, and its control inputs (S0–S2) accept TTL or 3.3-V/5-V CMOS levels. No level-shifting circuitry is required, as confirmed in the "Data I/Os Support 0 to 5-V Signaling Levels" specification.
What is the pin-count and package type of the SN74CBT16212CDLR?
The SN74CBT16212CDLR uses a 56-pin SSOP (Shrink Small-Outline Package) with designation DL, measuring 13.9 mm × 7.4 mm and 1.2 mm max height. Its pinout is defined in TI's SCDS146A datasheet Figure 1 (top view), and it ships in tape-and-reel format with 1000 units per reel.
How does the undershoot protection circuit operate in the SN74CBT16212CDLR?
The SN74CBT16212CDLR's undershoot protection circuit actively monitors A/B port voltages and forces the internal FETs into the OFF state when a −2 V transient is detected - verified per test conditions in Section 6 of SCDS146A. This prevents unintended conduction and maintains isolation during ESD or hot-plug events without external clamping diodes.
