Product details
Overview
SN74CBT1G125DBVT from Texas Instruments is a single-channel FET bus switch used for high-speed digital signal routing in 3.3-V and 5-V logic systems. It features 5-Ω on-state resistance, TTL-compatible control input levels, and operates across –40°C to 85°C. The device isolates or connects two ports under OE control and supports hot-swap applications with latch-up immunity exceeding 250 mA per JESD 17.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT1G125DBVT datasheet, SN74CBT1G125DBVT pinout, SN74CBT1G125DBVT application, or SN74CBT1G125DBVT equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance matching, propagation delay under 0.35 ns at 4 V, ESD robustness (2000-V HBM), thermal impedance (206°C/W), and SOT-23 (DBV) package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements a single-pole single-throw (SPST) NMOS transmission gate architecture with no internal level-shifting circuitry. Its control logic is active-low: OE = low enables A↔B conduction; OE = high disconnects both ports. The switch exhibits bidirectional signal flow and supports rail-to-rail analog/digital signals up to VCC = 5.5 V.
Electrical behavior is defined by voltage-dependent on-resistance (5–7 Ω at 30 mA, 10–15 Ω at 15 mA), low input capacitance (3 pF), and minimal off-state leakage (<±1 µA). Switching performance is load-capacitance dependent, with typical propagation delay of 0.25 ns at 5 V and CL = 50 pF.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (ron) | 5–7 Ω at VCC = 4.5 V, II = 30 mA - ensures minimal voltage drop and signal integrity for 128-mA max channel current |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.25 ns at VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF - enables sub-nanosecond timing in high-speed data paths |
| Supply voltage range | 4 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 3.3-V and 5-V logic rails without external regulation |
| Input capacitance (Ci) | 3 pF - reduces capacitive loading on driving logic and preserves edge rate |
| ESD protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements without external protection |
| Latch-up immunity | >250 mA per JESD 17 - prevents destructive latch-up during transient overcurrent events |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to 85°C - qualified for extended industrial ambient conditions |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (DBV) 5-pin surface-mount package, 1.45 mm maximum height, 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm footprint, JEDEC MO-178 compliant. Thermal impedance θJA = 206°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Output-enable control input | Active-low logic signal; drives internal gate bias to enable/disable A–B conduction path |
| 2 (A) | Input/Output port A | Bidirectional signal terminal; connects to source or sink side of bus segment |
| 3 (GND) | Ground reference | Return path for internal FET substrate and control logic; must be low-impedance |
| 4 (VCC) | Power supply | Provides bias for internal FET channel and control circuitry; decoupling required |
| 5 (B) | Input/Output port B | Bidirectional signal terminal; electrically identical to Pin 2, forms switched path with A |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low on-resistance | 5–7 Ω ensures <350 mV drop at 50 mA, preserving logic high/low margins in 3.3-V systems |
| TTL-compatible OE input | VIH = 2 V / VIL = 0.8 V allows direct interface with legacy 5-V TTL drivers without level shifters |
| Bidirectional signal routing | No direction pin required - A and B terminals are functionally symmetric for flexible PCB layout |
| Hot-swap capable | Zero power-up/down glitches and no Ioff specification - safe for live insertion into powered backplanes |
| Small-footprint packaging | SOT-23 (DBV) saves >60% board area vs. SOIC-8 while maintaining full electrical performance |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G3157DBVR | Lower VCC range (1.65–5.5 V); higher ron (6–10 Ω); includes break-before-make logic | Preferred for mixed-voltage systems (1.8 V/3.3 V) but adds 1.5 ns disable delay | Select when level translation or guaranteed isolation during transition is required |
| NC7SZ125P5X | 3-pin SC-70 package; no OE pin - always-enabled buffer; higher ICC (10 µA) | Used only for unidirectional buffering, not switching; lacks hot-swap safety | Choose only for fixed-path signal conditioning where dynamic control is unnecessary |
Compared with SN74CBT1G125DBVT, SN74LVC1G3157DBVR offers broader voltage support but sacrifices speed and adds transition latency, while NC7SZ125P5X eliminates switching capability entirely - making SN74CBT1G125DBVT the sole choice for compact, high-speed, actively controlled bidirectional bus isolation.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating for the SN74CBT1G125DBVT?
The SN74CBT1G125DBVT supports a continuous channel current of 128 mA, as specified in its absolute maximum ratings. This value reflects the peak DC current the internal FET can sustain without thermal runaway under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4–5.5 V, TA = –40°C to 85°C). Exceeding this limit risks permanent degradation of on-resistance and switching reliability. Derating is advised above 70°C ambient.
Does the SN74CBT1G125DBVT support 1.8-V logic inputs?
No, the SN74CBT1G125DBVT does not support 1.8-V logic inputs. Its control input thresholds are TTL-compatible: VIL = 0.8 V max and VIH = 2 V min. Applying 1.8-V logic directly to OE may result in indeterminate switching behavior. For 1.8-V systems, use SN74LVC1G3157DBVR or add a discrete level shifter to ensure reliable OE activation.
Can the SN74CBT1G125DBVT be used for analog signal switching?
Yes, the SN74CBT1G125DBVT supports analog signal switching within its voltage limits: signals from GND to VCC (up to 5.5 V) pass bidirectionally with minimal distortion. Its 5–7 Ω on-resistance and 3 pF input capacitance preserve bandwidth for signals up to ~100 MHz. However, it lacks guaranteed analog specifications (e.g., THD, crosstalk), so system-level validation is required for precision analog paths.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the SN74CBT1G125DBVT in its SOT-23 package?
The SN74CBT1G125DBVT in the SOT-23 (DBV) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 206°C/W, measured per JESD 51-7 on a standard 1-inch² copper pad. This value assumes no additional heatsinking. For sustained 100-mA operation at 85°C ambient, junction temperature rises to ~106°C - within the 150°C storage limit but approaching the practical reliability limit; PCB copper area should be maximized for thermal relief.
Is the SN74CBT1G125DBVT pin-compatible with other members of the SN74CBT1Gxxx family?
Yes, the SN74CBT1G125DBVT shares identical pinout (OE, A, GND, VCC, B) and SOT-23 (DBV) package with SN74CBT1G32, SN74CBT1G126, and SN74CBT1G3157 in the same package variant. However, functional differences exist: SN74CBT1G126 is inverting, SN74CBT1G32 is a dual-input OR gate, and SN74CBT1G3157 includes break-before-make. Electrical parameters (ron, tpd, ICC) also vary - verify per-datasheet before substitution.
