Product details
Overview
SN74CBT16244CDL from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit FET bus switch IC organized as four independent 4-bit low-impedance switches, featuring 5-Ω typical on-state resistance, TTL-compatible control inputs, and bidirectional signal routing between port A and port B. It operates from 4 V to 5.5 V over –40°C to 85°C and is used in high-speed data path isolation for memory expansion, address/data bus multiplexing, and hot-swap I/O buffering.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT16244CDL datasheet, SN74CBT16244CDL pinout, SN74CBT16244CDL application, or SN74CBT16244CDL equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance matching across channels, propagation delay under 0.35 ns at 5 V, OE-controlled bidirectional isolation timing (ten/tdis < 6 ns), and SSOP-48 package compatibility with dense PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74CBT16244CDL implements four independent CMOS transmission-gate-based bus switches, each controlled by a dedicated active-low output-enable (OE) input. Its FET architecture eliminates DC path current and supports true bidirectional signal flow without direction pins.
Each switch exhibits rail-to-rail voltage handling (–0.5 V to 7 V), sub-10 ns enable/disable times, and minimal capacitive loading (Cio(OFF) = 4.5 pF), enabling clean signal integrity in high-frequency digital systems operating up to 100 MHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (ron) | 5 Ω typical at VCC = 4.5 V, VI = 0 V, II = 30 mA - ensures minimal voltage drop and signal distortion in 3.3 V/5 V logic paths. |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.25 ns typical at VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF - enables use in >1 GHz data rate applications with negligible timing skew. |
| Enable time (ten) | 5.1 ns max at VCC = 5 V - guarantees fast channel activation for dynamic bus arbitration and power-gated subsystems. |
| Disable time (tdis) | 5.4 ns max at VCC = 5 V - provides rapid isolation to prevent data contention during state transitions. |
| Supply voltage range | 4 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V TTL and mixed-voltage 3.3 V/5 V system interfaces. |
| Input voltage range (VI) | –0.5 V to 7 V - supports fault-tolerant operation and overshoot immunity in noisy industrial environments. |
| Off-state capacitance (Cio) | 4.5 pF - minimizes crosstalk and loading on adjacent high-speed traces in dense interconnects. |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBT16244CDL is housed in a 48-pin SSOP (Shrink Small-Outline Package) with 0.5 mm pitch, 12.6 mm × 6.2 mm body size, and 1.2 mm max height - optimized for space-constrained industrial and telecom PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Active-low output-enable control | Individually enables/disables each 4-bit switch group; low = bidirectional conduction, high = high-Z isolation. |
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4, 3A1–3A4, 4A1–4A4 | Port A input/output terminals | Bidirectional data terminals for first side of each 4-bit switch; electrically identical to corresponding B pins. |
| 1B1–1B4, 2B1–2B4, 3B1–3B4, 4B1–4B4 | Port B input/output terminals | Bidirectional data terminals for second side of each 4-bit switch; interchangeable with A-side in layout. |
| VCC (Pins 7, 22, 31, 46) | Power supply | Four distributed VCC pins reduce IR drop and improve noise immunity across the 16-bit bus. |
| GND (Pins 4, 13, 26, 35, 44) | Ground reference | Five GND pins provide low-inductance return paths and stabilize switching transients. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 16-bit bidirectional switching | Four independent 4-bit groups allow selective isolation of memory banks, peripheral buses, or I/O lanes without direction control logic. |
| 5-Ω low on-resistance | Reduces insertion loss and maintains signal edge integrity in high-speed parallel interfaces up to 100 MHz. |
| TTL-compatible OE inputs | Accepts standard 0.8 V/2.0 V logic thresholds - directly drivable by legacy microcontrollers and FPGA I/O banks. |
| Zero static power consumption | No DC current flows through enabled switches - eliminates standby power penalty in always-on subsystems. |
| High off-isolation (>50 dB @ 10 MHz) | 4.5 pF off-capacitance and >10⁹ Ω off-resistance suppress crosstalk between active and inactive data paths. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTD16212DLR | 12-bit, higher on-resistance (7 Ω typ), integrated 25-Ω series termination resistors. | Targeted at point-to-point DDR memory trace matching; lacks per-group OE control. | Select when impedance-controlled routing is required and channel count permits reduction. |
| SN74CB3Q3244PAG | 16-bit, lower on-resistance (3.5 Ω typ), 3.3 V only (3.0–3.6 V), TSSOP-48 package. | Optimized for low-voltage SoC interconnects; incompatible with 5 V systems. | Choose for new 3.3 V designs prioritizing lowest possible Ron and reduced power supply complexity. |
Compared with SN74CBT16244CDL, SN74CBTD16212DLR trades per-group control and voltage flexibility for built-in termination, while SN74CB3Q3244PAG delivers lower Ron and tighter voltage tolerance at the cost of 5 V interoperability - making SN74CBT16244CDL optimal for mixed-voltage, high-reliability industrial bus isolation.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the SN74CBT16244CDL?
The SN74CBT16244CDL is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature, meeting industrial-grade thermal requirements. This range is validated per TI's recommended operating conditions and supported by thermal impedance data (θJA = 63°C/W for the DL package), ensuring reliable performance in enclosed enclosures and non-air-conditioned environments where the SN74CBT16244CDL is commonly deployed.
Does the SN74CBT16244CDL support bidirectional signal flow without external direction control?
Yes, the SN74CBT16244CDL supports fully bidirectional signal flow between port A and port B on each 4-bit channel without requiring direction pins or external logic. Its FET-based transmission gate architecture ensures symmetrical electrical characteristics in both directions, and the SN74CBT16244CDL datasheet explicitly confirms data can flow "from port A to port B, or vice versa" when OE is low - eliminating timing asymmetry and simplifying PCB routing.
Can the SN74CBT16244CDL be used in 3.3 V systems?
The SN74CBT16244CDL is not recommended for standalone 3.3 V operation because its minimum specified supply voltage is 4 V per the recommended operating conditions table. While absolute maximum ratings permit VCC as low as –0.5 V, functional operation below 4 V is not guaranteed - using the SN74CBT16244CDL in a 3.3 V system may result in undefined switching behavior or increased on-resistance, so designers should select alternatives like SN74CB3Q3244PAG for native 3.3 V compatibility.
How many independent enable controls does the SN74CBT16244CDL provide?
The SN74CBT16244CDL provides four independent active-low output-enable (OE) inputs - labeled 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, and 4OE - each controlling one 4-bit switch group. This allows granular power and signal domain isolation: for example, disabling only memory-mapped I/O while keeping configuration registers active, or sequencing bus access across multiple peripherals - a capability confirmed in the function table and logic diagram of the SN74CBT16244CDL datasheet.
What is the typical on-state resistance of the SN74CBT16244CDL and how is it measured?
The typical on-state resistance (ron) of the SN74CBT16244CDL is 5 Ω, measured at VCC = 4.5 V, VI = 0 V, and II = 30 mA, per the electrical characteristics table. It is determined by the lower of the voltages at the A or B terminal during conduction, reflecting real-world performance under load - not a small-signal parameter. This value ensures minimal voltage drop (<150 mV at 30 mA) and preserves logic high/low margins in 5 V systems where the SN74CBT16244CDL is most frequently applied.
