Product details
Overview
SN74CBT3126PWR from Texas Instruments is a quadruple FET bus switch IC with independent 5-Ω bidirectional analog/digital signal paths, TTL-compatible control inputs, and 4.0–5.5 V supply operation. It enables or isolates four A↔B data lines per channel under individual OE control, supporting hot-swap and level-translating applications in memory expansion, peripheral multiplexing, and test equipment interface boards.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT3126PWR datasheet, SN74CBT3126PWR pinout, SN74CBT3126PWR application, or SN74CBT3126PWR equivalent, key selection criteria include on-state resistance (5–7 Ω), propagation delay (0.25–0.35 ns), latch-up immunity (>250 mA), and TSSOP-14 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent single-pole single-throw (SPST) FET switches using NMOS pass transistors with integrated charge pumps to ensure low and symmetric on-resistance across input voltage ranges. Each channel operates bidirectionally with no intrinsic directionality, and the OE control logic follows active-high polarity with TTL-level thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2 V).
Designed for 4.0–5.5 V operation, it features rail-to-rail analog switching capability, 4 pF off-state capacitance (Cio(OFF)), and sub-1 ns enable/disable timing (ten/tdis ≤ 5.4 ns). Its latch-up robustness exceeds JESD17 Class II (250 mA), and absolute maximum ratings permit transient overvoltage up to ±0.5 V beyond rails.
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 at VCC = 4.5 V - Minimizes signal attenuation and distortion for digital and analog signals up to 128 mA per channel. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 0.25–0.35 ns - Enables use in high-speed data paths including address/data bus isolation in microcontroller peripherals. |
| Off-State Capacitance (Cio(OFF)) | 4 pF - Reduces crosstalk and loading on adjacent traces in dense routing environments. |
| Latch-Up Immunity | >250 mA per JESD17 - Guarantees robust operation during power sequencing, hot insertion, and ESD events. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-level (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2 V) - Directly interfaces with legacy 5 V logic families without pull-up resistors. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - Supports industrial-grade deployment in embedded controllers and communications hardware. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-14 (PW) package: 4.4 mm × 5.0 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, 1.2 mm max height, exposed pad optional, JEDEC MO-153 compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Channel enable inputs | Active-high TTL-compatible controls; each independently gates one A↔B switch pair. |
| 1A–4A, 1B–4B | Switch I/O terminals | Bidirectional signal ports; no internal directionality-A and B are electrically symmetric. |
| GND (Pin 7) | Power reference | Primary ground return for all channels and internal bias circuitry; must be low-impedance. |
| VCC (Pin 14) | Supply rail | Provides operating voltage for FET gate drive and internal logic; bypassing with 0.1 µF near pin is recommended. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low on-resistance | 5–7 Ω ensures minimal voltage drop and signal integrity for 128 mA DC loads and high-frequency digital waveforms. |
| Bi-directional analog/digital switching | No internal directionality-supports seamless integration into both data bus and analog sensor multiplexing paths. |
| Fast enable/disable timing | ten/tdis ≤ 5.4 ns enables precise gating of high-speed signals without pulse distortion or glitches. |
| High noise immunity | Input hysteresis and TTL thresholds prevent false triggering in electrically noisy industrial environments. |
| Hot-swap compatible | Controlled power-up behavior with OE pulldown recommendation prevents undefined states during supply ramp. |

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 | Octal configuration, higher ron (7–10 Ω), requires VCC ≥ 4.5 V for guaranteed TTL compatibility. | Higher channel density but larger footprint (20-pin TSSOP); less suitable for space-constrained 4-channel designs. | Choose when expanding to eight isolated paths is needed and board area permits larger package. |
| 74LVC1G3157DPWR | Single-channel, lower ron (3–5 Ω), 1.65–5.5 V operation, smaller 6-pin X2SON package. | Requires four separate devices for quad functionality; better for ultra-low-power or distributed switching topologies. | Prefer when design flexibility, lowest possible ron, or 1.8 V logic compatibility is prioritized over integration. |
Compared with SN74CBT3126PWR, SN74CBTD3384PWR offers greater channel count at the cost of layout efficiency, while 74LVC1G3157DPWR trades integration for wider voltage range and finer granularity-neither is pin-compatible, but both serve overlapping signal-routing functions in modern digital systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current per channel for SN74CBT3126PWR?
The SN74CBT3126PWR supports up to 128 mA continuous channel current per switch path. This rating is specified under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4–5.5 V, TA = −40°C to +85°C) and reflects the maximum DC current the internal FET can sustain without exceeding thermal limits or degrading ron. Exceeding this value risks parametric shift or long-term reliability impact.
Does SN74CBT3126PWR require external pull-down resistors on OE pins?
Yes-TI recommends tying each OE input to GND via a pulldown resistor during power-up/down to guarantee high-impedance state before control logic stabilizes. The minimum resistor value depends on the driver's current-sourcing capability; typical values range from 1 kΩ to 10 kΩ. Leaving OE floating may cause unintended channel activation and bus contention.
Can SN74CBT3126PWR be used for analog signal switching?
Yes-the SN74CBT3126PWR supports bidirectional analog signal routing due to its symmetric FET structure and rail-to-rail conduction. It maintains low distortion for signals within the VCC–GND range (e.g., 0–5 V), with 4 pF off-capacitance and 5–7 Ω on-resistance making it suitable for audio, sensor, and low-frequency analog multiplexing up to ~10 MHz bandwidth.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of SN74CBT3126PWR in its TSSOP-14 package?
The SN74CBT3126PWR in the PW (TSSOP-14) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 113°C/W, measured per JESD51-7. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2S2P test board conditions; actual performance improves with PCB copper area, thermal vias under the exposed pad (if present), and airflow. For sustained 128 mA per channel, temperature rise remains within safe limits at typical ambient conditions.
Is SN74CBT3126PWR RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes-SN74CBT3126PWR is RoHS compliant and features NiPdAu (NIPDAU) lead finish. Per TI's packaging addendum, it carries MSL Level-1 (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH) and is rated for peak reflow of 260°C. The "Active" status confirms ongoing production and full compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and China RoHS.
