Product details
Overview
SN74CBT16292DLR from Texas Instruments is a 12-bit 1-of-2 high-speed FET multiplexer/demultiplexer with TTL-compatible control inputs, 4-Ω on-state resistance, internal 500-Ω pulldown resistors, and make-before-break switching-used in high-density data routing for telecom backplanes and memory interface bus switching.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT16292DLR datasheet, SN74CBT16292DLR pinout, SN74CBT16292DLR application, or SN74CBT16292DLR equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance matching across all 12 channels, guaranteed -40°C to 85°C operation, SSOP-56 package thermal performance (θJA = 56°C/W), and compatibility with 5-V TTL logic levels.
Technical Context
This device implements a dual-path bidirectional analog switch architecture per channel, where a single select (S) input controls simultaneous connection of 12 A-port signals to either B1 or B2 ports while routing RINT to the complementary port. Each channel operates independently with no internal signal conditioning or level translation.
The internal 500-Ω pulldown resistors are connected to RINT terminals and remain active regardless of S state, ensuring defined logic states on unconnected B-side outputs. Latch-up immunity exceeds 250 mA per JESD 17, supporting robust operation in noisy industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (ron) | Typical 4 Ω at VCC = 4.5 V, enabling <100 ps propagation delay with 50-pF load. |
| Supply voltage range | 4 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5-V TTL systems without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Control input thresholds | VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2 V - ensures reliable switching with legacy 5-V CMOS/TTL drivers. |
| Make-before-break time | 0–2 ns - prevents signal glitches during port switching in synchronous bus applications. |
| Pulldown resistor value | 500 Ω on RINT pins - provides deterministic low-state bias without external components. |
| Channel count | 12 independent bidirectional switch channels - supports full-width data bus routing (e.g., 12-bit address or control lines). |
| Operating temperature | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded systems and telecom infrastructure. |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBT16292DLR is housed in a 56-pin SSOP (Shrink Small-Outline Package) with 0.635-mm lead pitch, 11.4 mm × 13.9 mm body size, and 1.2-mm max height - optimized for high-density PCB layouts with JEDEC MO-194 compliance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| S | Select control input | Single TTL-compatible logic input determining A→B1/B2 routing direction for all 12 channels. |
| 1A–12A | Common port inputs/outputs | Bidirectional signal path; connects to B1 or B2 based on S state - no internal directionality. |
| 1B1–12B1, 1B2–12B2 | Two independent output banks | Each B1/B2 pin pair corresponds to one A pin; only one bank is active per channel at any time. |
| RINT | Internal pulldown reference | Connected internally to 500-Ω resistors tied to GND; routed to inactive B bank per channel. |
| VCC, GND | Power supply terminals | Single 5-V supply rail; two dedicated VCC and three GND pins ensure low-noise switching performance. |
| NC | No internal connection | 22 pins marked NC - must be left unconnected; no internal tie or test function. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low on-resistance | 4 Ω typical enables minimal RC delay in high-speed digital signal routing (e.g., memory address buses). |
| Integrated pulldown resistors | 500-Ω resistors on RINT eliminate need for 12 discrete pull-downs in bus-hold or idle-state management. |
| Make-before-break switching | Guaranteed 0–2 ns overlap prevents momentary open-circuit faults during dynamic reconfiguration. |
| TTL-compatible control | VIH/VIL thresholds match legacy 5-V logic families - no level translators required in mixed-voltage systems. |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 250 mA per JESD 17 - ensures survivability in transient-overvoltage conditions common in backplane environments. |
Applications
| Memory Bus Switching | Telecom Backplane Routing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit FET multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTD16210DLR | 12-bit 1-of-2 switch with 3.3-V-only operation and no internal pulldowns; requires external biasing. | Targeted at low-voltage systems; lacks RINT functionality and industrial temp range. | Choose only if operating strictly at 3.3 V and external pull-downs are acceptable. |
| 74FST162332DLR | 12-bit dual 1-of-2 mux with identical SSOP-56 package but higher ron (8 Ω typical) and no pulldowns. | Legacy Fast CMOS family; lower speed margin and no integrated biasing for idle ports. | Use when footprint compatibility is critical but pulldown and low-ron requirements are relaxed. |
Compared with SN74CBT16292DLR, both alternatives lack integrated 500-Ω pulldowns and offer higher on-resistance - making SN74CBT16292DLR uniquely suitable for systems requiring zero-external-component bus hold and minimal propagation delay in 5-V industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating per channel for the SN74CBT16292DLR?
The SN74CBT16292DLR supports a continuous channel current of 128 mA per switch path, verified under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4–5.5 V, TA = –40°C to 85°C). This rating ensures safe operation in high-drive digital bus applications without thermal derating in typical PCB layouts with adequate copper area.
Does the SN74CBT16292DLR require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its B-side terminals?
No - the SN74CBT16292DLR integrates 500-Ω pulldown resistors on all RINT terminals, which are automatically routed to the inactive B1 or B2 port per channel based on the S input state. External biasing is unnecessary for idle-state termination, reducing BOM count and layout complexity.
Can the SN74CBT16292DLR operate reliably at 3.3 V?
No - the SN74CBT16292DLR is specified only for 4 V to 5.5 V supply operation. Its TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2 V) and internal FET design require minimum 4 V to guarantee proper on-resistance, switching speed, and latch-up immunity. Operation below 4 V is not characterized or supported.
How does the make-before-break feature of the SN74CBT16292DLR improve system reliability?
The SN74CBT16292DLR guarantees 0–2 ns of make-before-break overlap during S-input transitions, ensuring that the new signal path is established before the previous path opens. This eliminates momentary open-circuit conditions that could cause clock glitches, metastability, or bus contention in synchronous digital systems like memory controllers or FPGA configuration interfaces.
Is the SN74CBT16292DLR pin-compatible with other devices in the Widebus™ family?
The SN74CBT16292DLR shares the SSOP-56 (DL) package footprint with several Widebus™ devices, but pin functions are not interchangeable due to unique RINT routing and dual-B-port architecture. Direct substitution requires verification of signal mapping, power pin placement, and NC pin alignment - no drop-in replacement exists within the family.
