Product details
Overview
SN74CBT16245DL from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit FET bus switch in SSOP-48 package, providing bidirectional, low-impedance (5 Ω typical) signal routing between A and B ports with TTL-compatible control inputs. It features dual 8-bit switches, independent OE control per group, and supports hot-swap-capable isolation in data path applications such as memory expansion and backplane interconnects.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT16245DL datasheet, SN74CBT16245DL pinout, SN74CBT16245DL application, or SN74CBT16245DL equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance stability across VCC (4–5.5 V), sub-1 ns propagation delay, high-impedance isolation during disable, latch-up immunity (>100 mA), and ESD robustness (2000-V HBM).
Technical Context
The SN74CBT16245DL implements two independent 8-bit FET-based analog switches, each controlled by a dedicated OE input. Its CMOS-driven pass-gate architecture enables rail-to-rail signal transmission without level translation, supporting bidirectional data flow with no direction pin required.
Each switch exhibits 5–7 Ω on-state resistance at VCC = 4.5 V and II = 30 mA, with propagation delay under 0.35 ns (VCC = 4 V) and enable/disable times below 8 ns. The device operates over –40°C to 85°C and meets JESD 78 Class II latch-up and JESD 22 ESD specifications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (ron) | 5 Ω typical at VCC = 4.5 V, enabling minimal voltage drop and signal distortion in high-speed digital paths. |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.35 ns max at VCC = 4 V, supporting >1 GHz effective switching in short trace interconnects. |
| Supply voltage range | 4 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5-V TTL and mixed-voltage system interfaces. |
| Input voltage range (VI) | –0.5 V to 7 V - allows safe operation with overshoot/undershoot transients common in bus environments. |
| Latch-up immunity | >100 mA per JESD 78 Class II - ensures robustness against accidental current injection during hot insertion. |
| ESD protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - eliminates need for external transient suppression in board-level I/O protection. |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded and communications equipment deployment. |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBT16245DL uses a 48-pin SSOP (Shrink Small-Outline Package) with 0.5-mm pitch, JEDEC MO-153 compliant, body dimensions 12.6 mm × 6.2 mm × 1.95 mm max height, and moisture sensitivity level 1 (260°C peak reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE | Output-enable control inputs | Active-low enables respective 8-bit switch groups; high state isolates A/B ports with >10⁹ Ω off-isolation. |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | Port A terminals (Group 1 & 2) | Input/output nodes for first and second 8-bit data lanes; bidirectional with no internal direction logic. |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | Port B terminals (Group 1 & 2) | Paired counterparts to A-port pins; identical electrical behavior and interchangeable signal routing endpoints. |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 29, 40) | Power supply | Four distributed VCC pins minimize IR drop and improve noise rejection across high-frequency switching paths. |
| GND (Pins 4, 11, 22, 33, 44) | Ground reference | Five GND pins provide low-inductance return paths, critical for maintaining signal integrity at sub-nanosecond edge rates. |
| NC (Pins 1, 48) | No internal connection | Unbonded pads - must remain unconnected; no routing or thermal relief required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Standard '16245-type pinout | Direct mechanical and functional replacement for legacy 74-series bus transceivers without PCB redesign. |
| 5-Ω switch on-resistance | Enables <10 mV voltage drop at 20 mA, preserving logic margins in 5-V TTL and LVTTL systems. |
| TTL-compatible input levels | Accepts VIH ≥ 2 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V - interoperable with standard 5-V microcontrollers and FPGAs without level shifters. |
| High-impedance isolation | Off-state leakage <±1 µA ensures signal integrity when multiple devices share a common bus segment. |
| Hot-swap capable | No power sequencing required; device withstands live insertion due to undervoltage lockout-free architecture. |
Applications
| Memory Expansion Interface | Backplane Data Routing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Adding SRAM or Flash memory banks to an MCU-based controller where address/data bus width must be extended without increasing drive load. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional bus switch isolating auxiliary memory from main bus during idle cycles to reduce capacitive loading and timing skew.

Use Value: Independent OE control per 8-bit group allows selective isolation of clock/data lines without disrupting active logic domains. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTD16245DL | Includes series resistors (26 Ω) on all I/O pins for improved EMI suppression and reduced ringing. | Better suited for longer traces (>10 cm) or noisy industrial environments where signal integrity dominates over raw speed. | Select SN74CBTD16245DL when trace length or EMC compliance drives design, not SN74CBT16245DL's pure low-Ron advantage. |
| SN74LVC16245ADGGR | CMOS transceiver (not FET switch); 3.3-V only, higher output drive (24 mA), but 3× higher propagation delay (~3 ns). | Applicable where voltage translation (3.3 V ↔ 5 V) or bus driving strength matters more than ultra-low latency. | Choose SN74LVC16245ADGGR for 3.3-V systems requiring level-shifting capability; avoid for sub-1 ns timing-critical paths. |
Compared with SN74CBT16245DL, SN74CBTD16245DL trades 5 Ω Ron for integrated termination, while SN74LVC16245ADGGR replaces passive switching with active buffering-making SN74CBT16245DL optimal for minimal-delay, 5-V-only, high-isolation bus gating.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the SN74CBT16245DL?
The SN74CBT16245DL does not specify a maximum clock frequency because it is an analog switch, not a synchronous device. Its usable bandwidth is determined by RC time constant: with 5 Ω Ron and typical 5 pF load, it supports clean signal transmission up to ~3 GHz. Real-world limits depend on PCB layout, trace impedance, and source/load capacitance - verified via tpd = 0.35 ns at VCC = 4 V in the SN74CBT16245DL datasheet.
Can the SN74CBT16245DL be used for level translation between 3.3 V and 5 V logic?
No, the SN74CBT16245DL is not a level translator. It is a passive FET switch that passes signals within its VCC-supplied voltage range (4–5.5 V). Applying 3.3 V signals to the A or B port while VCC = 5 V is allowed per absolute max ratings (VI = –0.5 to 7 V), but the output swing remains rail-limited to VCC/GND - no voltage conversion occurs. For true 3.3 V ↔ 5 V translation, use dedicated level-shifting ICs like SN74AVC16T245 instead of SN74CBT16245DL.
Is the SN74CBT16245DL pin-compatible with older 74LS16245 or 74ACT16245 devices?
Yes, the SN74CBT16245DL uses the standard '16245-type pinout defined in TI's Widebus™ family documentation. Pin functions (A/B ports, OE, VCC, GND) align exactly with 74LS16245 and 74ACT16245, enabling drop-in replacement in existing layouts. However, note differences in electrical behavior: SN74CBT16245DL has no direction pin, bidirectional operation, lower Ron, and faster timing - verify timing closure and loading effects before substitution.
Does the SN74CBT16245DL require pull-up or pull-down resistors on its OE inputs?
Yes - all unused control inputs, including OE pins, must be held at a valid logic level (VCC or GND) to ensure predictable operation. Floating OE inputs can cause partial turn-on of internal FETs, leading to increased ICC, bus contention, or undefined states. TI recommends tying unused OE inputs directly to VCC (for permanent enable) or GND (for permanent disable) - do not leave them open. This requirement is explicitly stated in the SN74CBT16245DL recommended operating conditions.
What is the thermal performance of the SN74CBT16245DL in its SSOP-48 package?
The SN74CBT16245DL in DL (SSOP-48) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 63°C/W, measured per JESD 51-7 on a standard 4-layer test board. With maximum continuous channel current of 128 mA and typical Ron of 5 Ω, worst-case power dissipation per switch is ~8.2 mW - resulting in negligible junction temperature rise (<1°C) under normal operation. No heatsinking is required for typical bus-switching duty cycles.
