Product details
Overview
SN74CBT16800CDL from Texas Instruments is a 20-bit (dual 10-bit) FET bus switch IC with bidirectional signal routing, 3 Ω typical ON-state resistance, −2 V undershoot protection on A/B ports, and B-port precharge via BIASV for live-insertion noise suppression in PCI hot-plug systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT16800CDL datasheet, SN74CBT16800CDL pinout, SN74CBT16800CDL application, or SN74CBT16800CDL equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4–5.5 V VCC operation, 5.5 pF OFF-state I/O capacitance, Ioff partial-power-down support, and SSOP-48 package compatibility with industrial bus isolation and memory interleaving designs.
Technical Context
The SN74CBT16800CDL implements two independent 10-bit FET bus switches, each controlled by dedicated OE inputs (1OE, 2OE), enabling either dual 10-bit or single 20-bit configuration. Its internal switch architecture uses low-threshold FETs with active undershoot-protection circuitry that clamps A/B port voltages down to −2 V while maintaining OFF-state integrity.
B-port terminals are precharged to an externally supplied BIASV voltage (0–VCC) through an internal ~10-kΩ path during high-OE or VCC = 0 conditions, minimizing signal distortion during hot-plug events. The device supports 0–5.5 V data signaling across all I/Os and features Ioff protection to block backflow current during partial power-down.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with 5-V TTL and mixed-voltage systems including 3.3-V/5-V interface translation. |
| ron (Typ) | 3 Ω - Delivers near-zero propagation delay (<0.24 ns at 4 V) and minimal signal attenuation in high-speed digital paths. |
| Cio(OFF) | 5.5 pF typical - Reduces capacitive loading on shared buses, preserving signal edge rates and timing margins. |
| Undershoot Protection | −2 V on A/B ports - Prevents false triggering or latch-up when hot-inserted cards pull bus lines below ground. |
| Ioff | 10 µA max at VCC = 0 - Enables safe isolation of powered-down sections without damaging current flow into inactive domains. |
| BIASV Range | 0 V to VCC - Allows user-selectable precharge level matching receiver input thresholds (e.g., 2.4 V for 3.3-V LVTTL). |
| Propagation Delay | 0.15 ns typical at 5 V - Supports >5 GHz effective switching bandwidth in point-to-point or stubbed bus topologies. |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBT16800CDL is housed in a 48-pin SSOP (DL) package, 12.6 mm × 6.2 mm × 1.2 mm, with 0.5-mm lead pitch and gull-wing terminations suitable for automated SMT assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A1–1A10, 2A1–2A10 | A-side data inputs/outputs | Bidirectional I/O pins for first and second 10-bit switch banks; tolerate 0–5.5 V signals regardless of VCC. |
| 1B1–1B10, 2B1–2B10 | B-side data inputs/outputs | Bidirectional I/O pins precharged to BIASV when OE is high or VCC = 0, suppressing live-insertion glitches. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output-enable controls | Active-low enables; must be pulled up to VCC via external resistor to ensure high-Z state during power sequencing. |
| BIASV | Bias supply input | User-supplied voltage (0–VCC) setting precharge level for all B-port pins; critical for noise-immune hot-plug operation. |
| VCC, GND (×5) | Power and ground distribution | Multiple VCC/GND pairs minimize switching noise and ensure stable operation across full 20-bit channel count. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional zero-delay switching | Enables transparent signal pass-through in both directions with <0.24 ns propagation delay, eliminating direction-control logic overhead. |
| Live-insertion noise suppression | B-port precharge to BIASV minimizes transient excursions during card insertion, preventing false logic transitions on active backplanes. |
| PCI Hot Plug compliance | Integrated undershoot protection (−2 V), Ioff, and BIASV precharge meet electrical requirements for PCI Local Bus Revision 2.2 hot-plug systems. |
| Mixed-signal voltage tolerance | 0–5.5 V I/O support allows direct interfacing with 0.8-V to 5-V logic families without level shifters in memory or peripheral expansion paths. |
| Partial-power-down robustness | Ioff limits leakage to 10 µA when VCC = 0, permitting safe integration into systems with staggered power-rail sequencing or standby modes. |
Applications
| PCI Hot-Plug Backplane | Memory Interleaving Interface |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTD16210DGGR | 16-bit, 3-state output with separate DIR control; higher ron (5 Ω typ); no BIASV precharge. | Lacks live-insertion optimization; suited for static bus buffering rather than hot-plug systems. | Select when direction control is required and undershoot immunity is secondary to cost or footprint. |
| SN74CB3Q3257PWR | 4-channel 2:1 multiplexer; 4.5 Ω ron; supports 1.65–5.5 V; no undershoot protection or BIASV. | Designed for signal routing, not bus isolation; limited channel count prevents 20-bit continuity. | Prefer for compact multiplexing in space-constrained designs where full bus-width switching is unnecessary. |
Compared with SN74CBT16800CDL, SN74CBTD16210DGGR offers direction control but sacrifices live-insertion robustness, while SN74CB3Q3257PWR provides voltage flexibility and smaller size at the expense of bus-width scalability and hot-plug readiness.

FAQ
What is the maximum undershoot voltage the SN74CBT16800CDL can withstand on its A and B ports?
The SN74CBT16800CDL provides active undershoot protection up to −2 V on both A and B ports, as verified in the absolute maximum ratings and functional test conditions. This capability ensures reliable OFF-state retention and prevents false logic transitions during hot-plug events or cable-induced transients. The SN74CBT16800CDL maintains isolation even when port voltages dip below ground by 2 V, making it suitable for demanding backplane applications.
Does the SN74CBT16800CDL support mixed-voltage operation between 3.3-V and 5-V logic domains?
Yes, the SN74CBT16800CDL supports 0–5.5 V signaling on all data I/Os independent of VCC, enabling seamless interfacing between 0.8-V, 1.2-V, 1.5-V, 1.8-V, 2.5-V, 3.3-V, and 5-V logic families. Its VCC range (4–5.5 V) powers internal circuitry while data pins remain voltage-agnostic - a key feature confirmed in the recommended operating conditions table. This behavior is intrinsic to the SN74CBT16800CDL design and requires no external level-shifting components.
How does the BIASV pin function during live insertion, and what voltage should it be set to?
The BIASV pin supplies a user-defined bias voltage (0–VCC) used to precharge all B-port terminals through an internal ~10-kΩ path when OE is high or VCC = 0. During live insertion, this precharge minimizes voltage excursions across receiver input thresholds - typically set to match the input high threshold (VIH) of downstream devices (e.g., 2.4 V for 3.3-V LVTTL). The SN74CBT16800CDL datasheet confirms BIASV's role in reducing glitch amplitude and duration, directly improving system robustness in hot-plug scenarios.
Is the SN74CBT16800CDL compatible with partial-power-down modes, and how is Ioff implemented?
Yes, the SN74CBT16800CDL fully supports partial-power-down operation via its Ioff feature, which limits leakage current to 10 µA maximum when VCC = 0 V and I/O voltages range from 0 to 5.5 V. This is achieved through internal transistor cutoff mechanisms that prevent damaging backflow current from powered sections into unpowered ones. The SN74CBT16800CDL meets JESD 78 Class II latch-up immunity (>100 mA), ensuring safe integration into systems with staggered rail sequencing or standby states.
What package type and dimensions does the SN74CBT16800CDL use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
The SN74CBT16800CDL uses a 48-pin SSOP (DL) package measuring 12.6 mm × 6.2 mm × 1.2 mm with 0.5-mm lead pitch and gull-wing leads. It is RoHS-compliant (lead-free NIPDAU finish) and rated MSL Level-1 (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH). Package mechanical drawings and land patterns are documented in TI's MTSS003D and DGG0048A specifications - consistent across all production lots of the SN74CBT16800CDL.
