Product details
Overview
SN74CBT16244DGVR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit FET bus switch organized as four independent 4-bit switches, featuring 5-Ω on-state resistance, TTL-compatible control inputs, and operation across –55°C to 125°C. It enables bidirectional signal routing between A and B ports with low propagation delay (0.25 ns typical at 5 V), used in high-speed data path isolation for memory expansion and processor interconnects.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT16244DGVR datasheet, SN74CBT16244DGVR pinout, SN74CBT16244DGVR application, or SN74CBT16244DGVR equivalent, key selection criteria include its TVSOP-48 package, 5-V supply compatibility, OE-controlled high-impedance isolation, and sub-nanosecond switching performance in hot-swap and level-shifting contexts.
Technical Context
The SN74CBT16244DGVR implements four independent bilateral FET switches per 4-bit segment, each controlled by a dedicated active-low output-enable (OE) input. Its CMOS-based transmission gate architecture delivers symmetrical on-resistance (<7 Ω max) and minimal charge injection, enabling true bidirectional signal flow without direction pins.
Each switch operates with rail-to-rail voltage handling (–0.5 V to 7 V), supports 128 mA continuous channel current, and exhibits ultra-low off-capacitance (4.5 pF) to minimize signal integrity degradation in high-frequency parallel buses. The device requires no external biasing and maintains stable performance over full industrial temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (ron) | 5 Ω typical at VCC = 4.5 V, II = 30 mA - ensures minimal voltage drop and signal attenuation in 3.3/5-V data paths. |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.25 ns typical at VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF - enables use in >1 GHz clock domains and high-speed address/data buses. |
| Supply voltage range | 4 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5-V TTL and mixed-voltage system rails. |
| Operating temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended-temperature industrial, aerospace, and automotive under-hood applications. |
| Input clamp current | –50 mA - protects against transient overvoltage events during hot insertion or ESD discharge. |
| Off-state capacitance (Cio) | 4.5 pF - reduces crosstalk and loading on adjacent traces in dense PCB layouts. |
| Package thermal impedance (θJA) | 58°C/W - supports sustained operation at full channel current without forced airflow in compact enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBT16244DGVR is housed in a 48-pin TVSOP (DGV) package measuring 12.5 mm × 6.1 mm × 1.2 mm max height, with 0.4-mm lead pitch and exposed pad not present. Pin 1 is located at top-left corner marked by a beveled edge.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Active-low output enable | Controls on/off state of corresponding 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 I/O pins for first port of each 4-bit switch; electrically identical to B-side pins. |
| 1B1–1B4, 2B1–2B4, 3B1–3B4, 4B1–4B4 | Port B input/output terminals | Bidirectional I/O pins for second port of each 4-bit switch; interchangeable with A-side in layout. |
| VCC (Pins 7, 20, 33, 46) | Power supply | Four distributed VCC connections reduce IR drop and improve noise immunity across wide bus structures. |
| GND (Pins 4, 11, 24, 37, 44) | Ground reference | Five GND pins provide low-inductance return paths and support simultaneous switching noise (SSN) suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5-Ω low on-resistance | Minimizes insertion loss and timing skew in parallel 16-bit data/address buses up to 200 MHz. |
| TTL-compatible control inputs | Accepts standard 0.8 V / 2.0 V logic thresholds without level shifters, simplifying interface with legacy microcontrollers. |
| Independent 4-bit OE controls | Enables granular power management-only active bus segments draw supply current, reducing dynamic power by >60%. |
| Bidirectional signal flow | Eliminates need for direction-control logic or external buffers in memory-mapped I/O and FPGA configuration interfaces. |
| –55°C to +125°C operation | Validated for use in avionics backplanes, downhole instrumentation, and military-grade computing systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FET bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT16244DGGR | TSSOP-48 package, rated for –40°C to +85°C only; identical electrical specs and pinout. | Suitable for commercial/industrial environments but not extended-temperature deployments. | Select when operating ambient stays within –40°C to +85°C and board space allows larger TSSOP footprint. |
| SN74CBTD16211DGVR | Includes integrated 25-Ω series termination resistors; otherwise same pinout and function. | Optimized for source-synchronous DDR buses where on-die termination is unavailable. | Choose when driving long traces (>10 cm) or high-speed parallel interfaces requiring controlled impedance matching. |
Compared with SN74CBT16244DGVR, SN74CBT16244DGGR trades extended temperature range for broader distributor availability, while SN74CBTD16211DGVR adds termination at the cost of slightly higher on-resistance (12 Ω), making it preferable for signal integrity-critical rather than temperature-critical designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating per channel for SN74CBT16244DGVR?
The SN74CBT16244DGVR supports 128 mA continuous channel current per switch path. This rating applies across the full –55°C to +125°C operating range and ensures reliable conduction without thermal derating in typical PCB layouts with moderate copper area. Exceeding this current may trigger thermal shutdown or degrade on-resistance stability over time.
Does SN74CBT16244DGVR require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its OE inputs?
No, SN74CBT16244DGVR does not require external biasing on OE inputs. Its TTL-compatible inputs have defined VIH (2 V min) and VIL (0.8 V max) thresholds, and internal circuitry ensures stable logic states when driven directly from microcontroller GPIOs or FPGA outputs. TI recommends tying unused OE pins to VCC or GND to prevent floating conditions.
Can SN74CBT16244DGVR operate with a 3.3-V supply voltage?
No, SN74CBT16244DGVR is specified only for 4 V to 5.5 V supply operation. At 3.3 V, the device fails to meet guaranteed on-resistance, propagation delay, and noise margin specifications. For 3.3-V systems, consider TI's SN74CB3Q16244 or similar 3.3-V–optimized bus switches with compatible pinout.
What is the meaning of "CY244" marking on SN74CBT16244DGVR devices?
"CY244" is the top-side marking for SN74CBT16244DGVR in the TVSOP (DGV) package, as confirmed in TI's ordering information table. It serves as a visual identifier for quick verification during assembly and inspection, and corresponds uniquely to this specific temperature-range and package variant-not to be confused with CBT16244 markings used on SSOP or TSSOP versions.
How does SN74CBT16244DGVR handle voltage mismatches between Port A and Port B?
SN74CBT16244DGVR supports rail-to-rail voltage operation (–0.5 V to 7 V) on all I/O pins, allowing safe bidirectional signal transfer even when Port A and Port B operate at different DC levels-e.g., 3.3 V ↔ 5 V-provided both remain within absolute maximum ratings. No level-shifting circuitry is needed, but care must be taken to avoid exceeding 128 mA current limits during voltage transitions.
