Product details
Overview
SN74CBT1G384DBVT from Texas Instruments is a single-channel FET bus switch in SOT-23 (DBV) package, featuring 5-Ω on-state resistance, TTL-compatible OE control input, and bidirectional signal routing between A and B ports. It operates from 4 V to 5.5 V supply, supports –40°C to 85°C industrial temperature range, and is used for high-speed data path isolation in digital logic interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT1G384DBVT datasheet, SN74CBT1G384DBVT pinout, SN74CBT1G384DBVT application, or SN74CBT1G384DBVT equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance consistency across voltage, propagation delay under 0.35 ns at 5 V, low input capacitance (3 pF), and compatibility with 3.3-V/5-V mixed-signal systems requiring minimal loading and fast enable/disable timing.
Technical Context
The SN74CBT1G384DBVT implements a single NMOS pass transistor switch controlled by an active-low OE input. When OE is low, the A–B path conducts bidirectionally with near-zero propagation delay; when OE is high, the switch disconnects with 4 pF off-capacitance and high isolation.
Its design uses no internal level-shifting circuitry-input logic thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) match standard TTL levels, and it draws only 1 µA ICC at 5.5 V. The device avoids latch-up and supports hot-swap operation due to its FET-only architecture and absence of parasitic PN junction paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (ron) | 5–7 Ω at VCC = 4.5 V, 30 mA - ensures minimal voltage drop and signal integrity in 50-Ω impedance-matched digital buses |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.35 ns max at VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF - enables use in >1-GHz data paths without timing budget penalty |
| Enable time (ten) | 5.5 ns max at VCC = 5 V - allows rapid bus arbitration and dynamic channel switching |
| Off-capacitance (Cio(OFF)) | 4 pF at VO = 3 V or 0 V - minimizes crosstalk and capacitive loading on adjacent signal lines |
| Supply voltage range | 4 V to 5.5 V - compatible with both 5-V legacy systems and regulated 4.5-V rails |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and communications equipment |
| Input capacitance (Ci) | 3 pF at VI = 3 V or 0 V - reduces drive strength requirements for upstream logic gates |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (DBV) 5-pin package, 1.45 mm max height, JEDEC MO-178 compliant, with exposed metal pad not present. Pin 1 marked via index area; pin 1 quadrant Q3 per tape orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (A) | Data port A | Bidirectional I/O terminal; connects directly to source or sink logic without direction control |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Return path for switch current and control logic; must be low-inductance connection for noise immunity |
| 3 (OE) | Output-enable input | Active-low TTL-compatible control; high = open-circuit isolation, low = 5–7 Ω conduction path |
| 4 (VCC) | Power supply | Supplies switch bias; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm for stable high-speed operation |
| 5 (B) | Data port B | Bidirectional I/O terminal; electrically identical to pin 1; no internal polarity or direction logic |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5-Ω typical on-resistance | Enables <10 mV voltage drop at 2 mA, preserving logic high/low margins in 3.3-V and 5-V systems |
| TTL-compatible OE input | Accepts standard 0.8 V / 2.0 V logic thresholds-no external level shifter needed when driven by 74-series or microcontroller GPIO |
| 0.35 ns propagation delay | Supports clean edge transmission in sub-nanosecond timing windows, critical for DDR clock forwarding and test access ports |
| 4 pF off-capacitance | Limits capacitive coupling to <0.5% signal amplitude at 100 MHz, reducing crosstalk in dense PCB layouts |
| 1 µA quiescent current | Permits integration into always-on subsystems (e.g., wake-on-LAN, watchdog interfaces) without measurable power impact |
Applications
| PCI Express Lane Isolation | USB 2.0 Data Line Switching |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Isolating PCIe Gen1/Gen2 lanes during hot-plug detection or power gating to prevent signal reflections and ground bounce. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional analog switch placed inline with TX/RX differential pairs to break DC continuity while preserving AC signal path integrity. Use Value: 5-Ω ron and 4 pF Cio(OFF) maintain impedance matching and minimize insertion loss (<0.2 dB at 2.5 GHz), enabling reliable link training after reconnection. | Use Scenario: Dynamically routing USB D+ and D− signals between host controller and dual-device ports in portable docking stations. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-latency, bidirectional bus switch enabling software-controlled port selection without protocol-aware logic. Use Value: 0.35 ns tpd and 5.5 ns ten allow full-speed USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) handshaking to complete before switch state stabilizes, eliminating packet retries. |
| Microcontroller GPIO Expansion | Legacy Parallel Bus Multiplexing |
Use Scenario: Sharing limited MCU GPIO pins among multiple peripherals (e.g., SPI flash, I²C sensor, UART debug) using time-division access. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Signal gate that enables/disables physical connection between MCU pin and peripheral I/O line based on firmware control. Use Value: 3 pF Ci and 1 µA ICC reduce capacitive loading and static power draw-critical for battery-powered edge nodes with 10+ switched I/O lines. | Use Scenario: Sharing a single 8-bit parallel bus (e.g., address/data multiplexed bus) between two memory devices in space-constrained industrial controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed analog switch array replacing mechanical relays or discrete MOSFETs to route bus segments with nanosecond precision. Use Value: Matched 5–7 Ω ron across all channels ensures uniform timing skew (<50 ps) and eliminates setup/hold violations in 25-MHz parallel interfaces. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT1G384DCKT | Same silicon die, SC-70 (DCK) 5-pin package; 252 °C/W θJA vs. DBV's 206 °C/W; identical electrical specs | Smaller footprint (2.0 × 1.25 mm vs. 2.9 × 1.6 mm) but higher thermal resistance limits continuous 128-mA operation in compact enclosures | Select DCKT only when board area is constrained and peak current remains below 64 mA; DBVT preferred for thermal margin in industrial ambient |
| SN74LVC1G3157DBVR | CMOS analog switch; 10 Ω ron (min), 15 ns tpd, 3.6 V max VCC; includes ESD protection diodes not present in CBT family | Supports 1.65–3.6 V operation but lacks 5-V tolerance; higher delay precludes use in >100-MHz buses | Choose LVC1G3157DBVR for 3.3-V-only systems needing integrated ESD protection; avoid for 5-V logic or sub-ns timing-critical paths |
Compared with SN74CBT1G384DCKT, SN74CBT1G384DBVT offers lower thermal resistance for sustained current handling; compared with SN74LVC1G3157DBVR, it delivers 40× faster propagation and 5-V compatibility at the cost of no built-in ESD clamps-requiring external TVS if deployed in connector-facing locations.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating for SN74CBT1G384DBVT?
The SN74CBT1G384DBVT supports a continuous channel current of 128 mA, verified per absolute maximum ratings in the official datasheet. This rating applies across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and assumes proper PCB thermal relief. Exceeding this current may cause thermal runaway or permanent degradation of the on-resistance performance in the SN74CBT1G384DBVT.
Does SN74CBT1G384DBVT support 3.3-V logic control inputs?
Yes, SN74CBT1G384DBVT accepts TTL-compatible control inputs: VIL ≤ 0.8 V and VIH ≥ 2.0 V, making it fully interoperable with 3.3-V CMOS and TTL logic families. However, the device itself requires a 4–5.5 V VCC supply-do not power SN74CBT1G384DBVT from 3.3 V, as functionality is not guaranteed below 4 V.
Can SN74CBT1G384DBVT be used in bidirectional data paths like I²C?
Yes, SN74CBT1G384DBVT is inherently bidirectional and has been successfully deployed in I²C bus extension and multiplexing applications. Its 5–7 Ω on-resistance adds negligible series resistance to pull-up networks, and its 4 pF off-capacitance prevents excessive bus capacitance buildup-key requirements for maintaining I²C timing compliance up to 400 kHz. Always verify total bus capacitance remains ≤400 pF when using SN74CBT1G384DBVT.
Is SN74CBT1G384DBVT RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, SN74CBT1G384DBVT is RoHS compliant and features a lead-free NIPDAU/SN finish, as confirmed in TI's Packaging Information document dated 11-Nov-2025. It carries MSL Level-1 rating (260°C peak reflow, unlimited floor life) and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity requirements-suitable for standard Pb-free reflow profiles without special baking.
What is the function of the OE pin on SN74CBT1G384DBVT?
The OE (output-enable) pin on SN74CBT1G384DBVT is an active-low control input: when OE is logic low (≤0.8 V), the A–B switch closes with ~5–7 Ω resistance; when OE is logic high (≥2.0 V), the switch opens, isolating A and B with 4 pF off-capacitance. OE must never float-TI specifies all unused control inputs be tied to VCC or GND to ensure predictable operation of SN74CBT1G384DBVT.
