Product details
Overview
SN74CBT3125PWRG4 from Texas Instruments is a quadruple FET bus switch IC with independent 5-Ω analog switches, TTL-compatible control inputs, and 4.0–5.5 V supply operation. It enables bidirectional signal routing in data buses, memory expansion interfaces, and level-shifting applications where low on-resistance and fast switching are critical.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT3125PWRG4 datasheet, SN74CBT3125PWRG4 pinout, SN74CBT3125PWRG4 application, or SN74CBT3125PWRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include on-state resistance (5–7 Ω), propagation delay (0.25–0.35 ns), enable/disable timing (1.6–6 ns), thermal performance (θJA = 113°C/W), and TSSOP-14 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent NMOS transmission gate switches, each controlled by a dedicated output-enable (OE) input operating at TTL logic thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2 V). Switch conduction occurs only when OE is low, placing the A–B path in low-impedance mode; high OE forces high-impedance isolation.
The architecture supports bidirectional analog/digital signal pass-through with minimal distortion: typical on-resistance is 5 Ω at VCC = 4.5 V and II = 30 mA, while off-capacitance remains low at 4 pF, preserving signal integrity for high-speed buses up to 100 MHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage (VCC) | 4.0–5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with 5-V TTL and mixed-voltage systems without level shifters. |
| On-State Resistance (ron) | 5–7 Ω - Enables low-loss signal coupling in data paths; supports ≥128 mA continuous channel current. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 0.25–0.35 ns - Delivers sub-nanosecond switching for high-speed bus gating in memory and peripheral interfaces. |
| Enable/Disable Time (ten/tdis) | 1.6–6 ns - Provides precise timing control for dynamic bus arbitration and hot-swap isolation. |
| Input Capacitance (Ci) | 3 pF - Minimizes loading on upstream drivers, preserving rise/fall times in fan-out-critical designs. |
| Off-State Capacitance (Cio(OFF)) | 4 pF - Reduces crosstalk and signal leakage between isolated channels in multi-bus systems. |
| Thermal Resistance (θJA) | 113°C/W - Matches TSSOP-14 thermal profile for reliable operation in industrial ambient (−40°C to 85°C). |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-14 (PW) package: 4.4 mm × 5.0 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, 1.2 mm max height, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 7, 10 (1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE) | Output Enable Control | Active-low TTL-compatible inputs; tie high via pullup to ensure power-up high-Z state. |
| 2, 5, 12, 14 (1A, 2A, 3A, 4A) | Port A Terminal | Bidirectional signal input/output node for first side of each switch pair. |
| 3, 6, 11, 13 (1B, 2B, 3B, 4B) | Port B Terminal | Bidirectional signal input/output node for second side of each switch pair. |
| 8 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for switch current and logic reference; decouple locally with 0.1 µF ceramic. |
| 14 (VCC) | Power Supply | Single 4–5.5 V rail powering all four switches and control circuitry; bypass with 0.1 µF near pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent Quad Switches | Four isolated 5-Ω FET paths allow selective routing of separate data lines without mutual interference. |
| TTL-Compatible Control | VIL ≤ 0.8 V / VIH ≥ 2 V thresholds eliminate need for external level translation when driven by legacy 5-V logic. |
| Low Off-Capacitance | 4 pF Cio(OFF) minimizes capacitive loading on adjacent traces, reducing crosstalk in dense PCB routing. |
| Fast Enable/Disable Timing | 1.6 ns ten and 4.7 ns tdis support real-time bus reconfiguration in FPGA I/O expansion and test equipment. |
| High Current Capability | 128 mA continuous channel rating enables robust signal switching in memory address/data buffers and peripheral multiplexing. |
Applications
| Memory Expansion Interface | FPGA I/O Multiplexing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Expanding address/data bus width between microcontroller and external SRAM/Flash using shared pins. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional bus switch isolating memory segments during access arbitration; enables time-multiplexed sharing of limited MCU pins. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete logic gates or complex CPLD-based bus controllers while maintaining <0.35 ns signal delay. | Use Scenario: Routing configuration signals or debug interfaces between FPGA banks and external test headers or PMODs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Selectively enabling/disabling JTAG, SPI, or UART paths based on FPGA configuration state or runtime mode. Use Value: Prevents signal contention during partial reconfiguration; 5 Ω ron ensures minimal voltage drop across switched lines. |
| Hot-Swappable Peripheral Hub | Legacy System Bus Isolation |
Use Scenario: Adding/removing USB-to-serial bridges or sensor modules without powering down main controller. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-impedance isolation of peripheral data lines during insertion/removal; OE controlled by microcontroller GPIO. Use Value: Prevents back-driving of powered logic; 4 pF Cio(OFF) avoids signal corruption on live bus segments. | Use Scenario: Interfacing modern 3.3-V peripherals with legacy 5-V ISA or PCI bus controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-tolerant bidirectional signal bridge with no direction pin required; operates across full 4–5.5 V range. Use Value: Supports mixed-voltage interoperability without active translators; 128 mA rating handles peak bus currents. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FET bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTD3384PWR | 10-channel, 3.3-V only, higher ron (7–10 Ω), includes 5-V tolerant inputs. | Designed for 3.3-V systems requiring wider bus width and voltage translation. | Select when interfacing 5-V logic to 3.3-V ASICs/FPGAs; not drop-in due to different pin count and supply range. |
| 74LVC1G3157DP,125 | Single-pole double-throw (SPDT), 1.65–5.5 V, ron = 6 Ω, smaller XSON-6 package. | Optimized for space-constrained single-line switching, not quad-channel bus routing. | Choose for point-to-point signal routing where density matters more than channel count; requires four units to match SN74CBT3125PWRG4 functionality. |
Compared with SN74CBT3125PWRG4, SN74CBTD3384PWR offers greater channel count but narrower voltage range and higher on-resistance, while 74LVC1G3157DP,125 provides superior package density at the cost of per-device channel count and added component count for quad functionality.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating per channel for SN74CBT3125PWRG4?
The SN74CBT3125PWRG4 supports a continuous channel current of 128 mA per switch. This rating applies under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4–5.5 V, TA = −40°C to 85°C) and is validated by TI's absolute maximum ratings. Exceeding this current may cause thermal stress or parametric shift; design margin should be maintained for reliability in sustained operation.
Does SN74CBT3125PWRG4 require external pull-up resistors on its OE pins?
Yes - to ensure high-impedance state during power-up or power-down, each OE pin of SN74CBT3125PWRG4 must be tied to VCC through an external pull-up resistor. The minimum value depends on the current-sinking capability of the driving source; TI recommends verifying against the specific control driver's IOL specification to avoid unintended switch activation.
Can SN74CBT3125PWRG4 operate reliably at 3.3 V supply?
No - SN74CBT3125PWRG4 is specified only for 4.0–5.5 V operation per its recommended operating conditions. At 3.3 V, the device may fail to meet guaranteed ron, timing, or logic threshold specifications. For 3.3-V systems, consider TI's SN74CBTD3384 or NXP's 74LVC1G3157 as functionally aligned alternatives.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of SN74CBT3125PWRG4 in its TSSOP-14 package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of SN74CBT3125PWRG4 in the PW (TSSOP-14) package is 113°C/W, measured per JEDEC JESD51-7 standards. This value assumes standard 2-layer PCB layout with 1 in² copper pour; actual thermal performance improves with enhanced copper area, thermal vias, or heatsinking.
Is SN74CBT3125PWRG4 pin-compatible with other '125-type bus switches in SOIC or SSOP packages?
Yes - SN74CBT3125PWRG4 follows the industry-standard '125-type pinout used across D (SOIC), DB (SSOP), DGV (TVSOP), and PW (TSSOP) packages. Pin functions (1OE–4OE, 1A–4A, 1B–4B, GND, VCC) are identical; mechanical differences (package size, pitch, height) require PCB footprint validation, but no logic or routing changes are needed for migration.
