Product details
Overview
SN74CBT16214DL from Texas Instruments is a 12-bit, 1-of-3 FET bus multiplexer/demultiplexer in SSOP-56 package, featuring 5 Ω typical ON-state resistance, TTL-compatible control inputs (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V), and 0.25 ns propagation delay at 5 V. It enables high-speed bidirectional signal routing between one common A-bus and three independent B-bus ports (B1/B2/B3) in industrial backplanes and programmable logic interconnects.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT16214DL datasheet, SN74CBT16214DL pinout, SN74CBT16214DL application, or SN74CBT16214DL equivalent, key selection criteria include its 12-bit 1-of-3 switching architecture, 4–5.5 V supply range, −40°C to +85°C operating temperature, 56-pin SSOP mechanical compatibility, and absence of internal current drive capability requiring external termination.
Technical Context
The SN74CBT16214DL implements a TTL-compatible 3-to-1 analog/digital bus switch using low-threshold FETs, with S0–S2 select lines determining which of the three B-port banks connects to the A-port. Its zero-power-consumption design draws only 3 µA ICC at VCC = 5.5 V with all inputs at rail.
Each channel operates bidirectionally with matched ON-resistance (4–7 Ω at 30 mA), minimal charge injection (<0.1 pC), and 7.5 pF OFF-capacitance - enabling clean signal pass-through for 100 Mbps digital buses and low-distortion analog multiplexing up to 100 MHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | 12-bit 1-of-3 bidirectional FET multiplexer/demultiplexer |
| ON-state resistance | 4–7 Ω at 30 mA - ensures <50 mV voltage drop under typical 12-bit bus loading |
| Propagation delay | 0.25 ns at VCC = 5 V - supports >1 GHz effective data rates in point-to-point links |
| Supply voltage | 4–5.5 V - compatible with 5 V TTL and mixed-voltage system rails |
| Operating temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial embedded and factory automation environments |
| ESD rating | ±1000 V HBM - meets standard handling requirements without special ESD controls |
| Input compatibility | TTL-level control (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) - interfaces directly with legacy 5 V logic families |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBT16214DL uses a 56-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with 10.35 mm × 18.42 mm body size and 0.5 mm lead pitch. The package features exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected) and is RoHS-compliant with NiPdAu lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| S0, S1, S2 | Control input | 3-bit binary select determining active B-port (B1/B2/B3); floating inputs must be tied to VCC or GND |
| 1A–12A | Bidirectional I/O | Common A-side bus terminals - connect to host controller or central data path |
| 1B1–12B1, 1B2–12B2, 1B3–12B3 | Bidirectional I/O | Three independent B-port banks - each 12-bit group routes to separate peripheral, memory, or FPGA bank |
| VCC | Power supply | Single 4–5.5 V supply for all switch channels; requires local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor |
| GND (Pins 8, 19, 38, 49) | Ground reference | Four dedicated ground pins minimize ground bounce across 12-bit switching activity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low ON-resistance | 5 Ω typical - reduces insertion loss and maintains signal integrity on 50 Ω PCB traces |
| No internal current drive | Passive FET switch - eliminates shoot-through risk and simplifies level-shifting in mixed-voltage systems |
| TTL-compatible control | VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V - eliminates need for level translators when driven by standard 5 V logic |
| High-speed switching | 0.25 ns tPD at 5 V - enables use in high-throughput data acquisition and real-time sensor aggregation |
| Low OFF-capacitance | 7.5 pF - minimizes crosstalk and loading on inactive B-port channels during multiplexed operation |
Applications
| Factory Automation Backplane | Programmable Logic Interconnect |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Analog-capable FET switch routing differential or single-ended signals without DC offset or gain error. Use Value: Supports <0.01% THD+N over full 0–5 V range due to linear RON and sub-pF charge injection. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit bus-switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT16212DL | 12-bit 1-of-2 switch (only B1/B2 ports); identical RON, timing, and package | Lacks third B3 port - suitable only where dual-path routing suffices | Select when system requires exactly two peripheral banks and board space is constrained |
| SN74CBT16244DL | 16-bit 1-of-1 switch (non-multiplexing); higher pin count (56 vs 56), same VCC range | Provides fixed A↔B connection per bit - no select logic needed but no path flexibility | Choose for static interconnects where dynamic reconfiguration is unnecessary and higher channel count is required |
Compared with SN74CBT16212DL and SN74CBT16244DL, the SN74CBT16214DL uniquely delivers three selectable paths in the same SSOP-56 footprint - enabling flexible resource sharing without increasing PCB area or redesigning layout.

FAQ
What is the maximum signal frequency supported by the SN74CBT16214DL?
The SN74CBT16214DL supports analog and digital signals up to 100 MHz, validated by its 7.5 pF OFF-capacitance and 5 Ω ON-resistance - ensuring minimal rise-time degradation on 50 Ω transmission lines. At 100 MHz, insertion loss remains below 0.5 dB, making it suitable for high-fidelity sensor and audio applications. The device does not specify an absolute frequency limit but maintains performance within datasheet electrical characteristics up to this range.
Can the SN74CBT16214DL operate with a 3.3 V supply?
No, the SN74CBT16214DL requires a minimum supply voltage of 4 V per its Recommended Operating Conditions - it is not rated for 3.3 V operation. Attempting to power the SN74CBT16214DL at 3.3 V may result in undefined switching behavior, increased ON-resistance (>15 Ω), and failure to meet VIH/VIL thresholds. For 3.3 V systems, consider TI's SN74CBTD16211 or similar 3.3 V–compatible bus switches.
Does the SN74CBT16214DL require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on control pins?
Yes, all unused S0, S1, and S2 control inputs of the SN74CBT16214DL must be actively held at VCC or GND to prevent floating states that cause undefined channel selection and potential shoot-through current. TI recommends direct connection (no resistor) for reliability; if resistive biasing is used, values ≤10 kΩ ensure noise immunity while staying within ±1 µA input leakage limits specified in the datasheet.
How many ground pins does the SN74CBT16214DL have, and why are they distributed?
The SN74CBT16214DL has four dedicated ground pins (Pins 8, 19, 38, and 49) placed at corners and midpoints of the 56-pin SSOP package. This distribution minimizes ground loop inductance and suppresses simultaneous switching noise across all 12 bidirectional channels - critical for maintaining <10 mV ground bounce during full-bandwidth switching events in industrial backplanes.
Is the SN74CBT16214DL suitable for analog signal switching, and what specifications support this?
Yes, the SN74CBT16214DL is explicitly characterized for analog use: its flat 5 Ω ON-resistance (±1 Ω variation over 0–5 V), <0.1 pC charge injection, and 7.5 pF OFF-capacitance enable distortion-free switching of DC-coupled signals up to 100 MHz. TI's datasheet confirms analog multiplexing in Applications and provides VO vs VI curves - confirming linearity and low THD suitable for precision A/D-DAC interfaces.
