Product details
Overview
SN74CBT1G384DBVR from Texas Instruments is a single-channel FET bus switch in SOT-23 (DBV) package, featuring 5-Ω on-state resistance, TTL-compatible control input, and bidirectional signal routing between A and B ports. It operates from 4 V to 5.5 V supply and supports high-speed data paths in level-shifting and isolation applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT1G384DBVR datasheet, SN74CBT1G384DBVR pinout, SN74CBT1G384DBVR application, or SN74CBT1G384DBVR equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance consistency across voltage range, enable timing performance (ten/tdis < 5 ns), low input capacitance (3 pF), and thermal impedance (206 °C/W) for compact PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74CBT1G384DBVR implements a single NMOS pass transistor with gate driven by an internal level-shifter, enabling TTL-compatible OE control while maintaining rail-to-rail analog signal pass-through. Its architecture avoids body diode conduction during bidirectional operation due to symmetrical terminal design.
It functions as a break-before-make switch: OE low connects A↔B with minimal propagation delay (0.35 ns at 5 V), while OE high presents high-impedance isolation (Cio(OFF) = 4 pF). No internal pull-ups or ESD protection diodes are integrated-external clamping is required per absolute max ratings.
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 distortion in 3.3 V/5 V digital buses |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.35 ns at VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF - supports >1 GHz signal integrity in high-speed interconnects |
| Enable time (ten) | 5.5 ns max at VCC = 5 V - enables precise timing control in synchronous bus gating |
| Input capacitance (Ci) | 3 pF at VI = 3 V or 0 V - reduces loading on driving logic and preserves edge rate |
| Supply voltage range | 4 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V TTL and mixed-voltage 3.3 V–5 V system interfaces |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and communications equipment |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (DBV) 5-pin package, 1.45 mm maximum height, JEDEC MO-178 compliant, with exposed metal pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (A) | Input/Output port A | Bidirectional analog/digital signal terminal; no polarity - connects to source or sink side of bus |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for switch current and control logic; must be low-inductance connection |
| 3 (OE) | Output-enable control input | TTL-compatible active-low enable; VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V - directly driven by 3.3 V or 5 V logic |
| 4 (VCC) | Power supply | Provides bias for internal level shifter and pass transistor; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm |
| 5 (B) | Input/Output port B | Bidirectional analog/digital signal terminal; electrically symmetric with Pin 1 for true bidirectional switching |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5-Ω typical on-resistance | Enables low-loss signal coupling in 50 Ω–100 Ω trace environments without termination redesign |
| TTL-compatible OE input | Eliminates need for level translators when interfacing with legacy 5 V microcontrollers or FPGAs |
| 0.35 ns propagation delay | Preserves setup/hold timing margins in DDR clock distribution and address/data gating |
| 4 pF off-state capacitance | Minimizes crosstalk and capacitive loading on adjacent high-speed traces in dense routing |
| 206 °C/W thermal impedance | Supports continuous 128 mA channel current in ambient up to 85°C with standard PCB copper |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G3157DBVR | CMOS-based, 6 Ω ron, 1.65–5.5 V supply, 3.5 ns ten | Wider voltage range but slower enable timing; higher Ci (4.5 pF) | Preferred when mixed 1.8 V/3.3 V/5 V systems require single-supply compatibility |
| NC7SZ19P5X | Single-gate SPDT, 10 Ω ron, 1.65–5.5 V, no VCC-referenced OE | Non-TTL OE; requires external pull-down; higher ron limits speed in 5 V buses | Selected for ultra-low-cost consumer designs where 10 Ω ron and 10 ns timing are acceptable |
Compared with SN74CBT1G384DBVR, SN74LVC1G3157DBVR offers broader voltage flexibility but trades 2× longer enable time and higher input capacitance, while NC7SZ19P5X sacrifices TTL compatibility and on-resistance for cost-making SN74CBT1G384DBVR optimal for high-speed, 5 V-centric industrial bus gating.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating for SN74CBT1G384DBVR?
The SN74CBT1G384DBVR supports a maximum continuous channel current of 128 mA, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating applies under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4 V to 5.5 V, TA = –40°C to +85°C) with proper PCB thermal relief. Exceeding this current may cause irreversible junction heating or parametric shift in on-resistance. The SN74CBT1G384DBVR datasheet confirms this value under "Continuous channel current" with no derating required up to 85°C ambient when mounted on 1-in² 2-oz copper.
Does SN74CBT1G384DBVR include built-in ESD protection?
No, the SN74CBT1G384DBVR does not integrate ESD protection diodes on its signal or control pins. Per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table, input voltage must remain within –0.5 V to 7 V, and clamp current is limited to ±50 mA - indicating external TVS or series resistors are required for I/O lines exposed to handling or system-level transients. TI's application note SCBA004 explicitly recommends clamping for floating CMOS inputs, and the SN74CBT1G384DBVR functional description makes no mention of on-die protection structures.
Can SN74CBT1G384DBVR operate with a 3.3 V supply?
No, the SN74CBT1G384DBVR is not rated for reliable operation at 3.3 V supply. Its Recommended Operating Conditions specify a minimum VCC of 4 V, and electrical characteristics (e.g., ron, tpd) are only guaranteed from 4 V to 5.5 V. At 3.3 V, the internal level shifter fails to fully enhance the pass transistor, resulting in elevated and unstable on-resistance (>20 Ω) and degraded timing. For 3.3 V systems, TI recommends SN74LVC1G3157DBVR instead of SN74CBT1G384DBVR.
Is SN74CBT1G384DBVR pin-compatible with SN74CBT1G384DCKR?
Yes, SN74CBT1G384DBVR and SN74CBT1G384DCKR share identical pin numbering and circuit functionality (A, GND, OE, VCC, B), but differ in package outline: DBVR uses SOT-23 (DBV), DCKR uses SC-70 (DCK). Both are 5-pin, same pin 1 orientation (Q3 quadrant), and match in logic behavior and electrical specs. However, their land patterns, thermal impedance (206 vs. 252 °C/W), and solder paste stencil requirements are not interchangeable - PCB layout must be revised when substituting SN74CBT1G384DBVR for SN74CBT1G384DCKR.
What is the meaning of "S8D_" top-side marking on SN74CBT1G384DBVR?
The "S8D_" marking on SN74CBT1G384DBVR is the base die-and-assembly identifier per TI's ordering information; the underscore represents a site-specific character (e.g., S8DG, S8DJ) denoting the fabrication/test location. This marking appears on all DBV-packaged variants and is used for traceability-not functional differentiation. The SN74CBT1G384DBVR datasheet states that the actual top-side marking contains one additional character beyond "S8D_", and that this character has no impact on electrical performance, reliability, or compatibility of the SN74CBT1G384DBVR device.
