Product details
Overview
SN74CBT3126PWRG4 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 data lines in high-speed digital interfaces such as memory expansion, address/data multiplexing, and level-translating I/O buffering.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT3126PWRG4 datasheet, SN74CBT3126PWRG4 pinout, SN74CBT3126PWRG4 application, or SN74CBT3126PWRG4 equivalent, this device is selected for low-on-resistance switching, fast enable/disable timing (≤5.4 ns), latch-up immunity (>250 mA), and TSSOP-14 packaging compatible with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent NMOS transmission-gate switches controlled by separate OE inputs, each providing a low-impedance path (5–7 Ω typical) between A and B terminals when enabled. The architecture supports bidirectional signal flow without direction control pins and maintains high-impedance isolation when OE is low.
It operates across −40°C to +85°C with supply voltage from 4.0 V to 5.5 V, features input clamp current rating of −50 mA, and meets JESD 17 latch-up performance exceeding 250 mA. Input capacitance is 3 pF and off-state I/O capacitance is 4 pF, minimizing signal distortion in high-frequency data paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (rON) | 5–7 Ω at VCC = 4.5 V, enabling low-voltage-drop signal routing for 3.3 V/5 V mixed-signal systems |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.25–0.35 ns at VCC = 5 V, supporting >1 GHz data rates in high-speed bus applications |
| Enable/disable time (ten/tdis) | 1.6–5.4 ns, allowing precise timing control for dynamic bus arbitration and hot-swap isolation |
| Supply voltage range | 4.0–5.5 V, ensuring compatibility with standard 5 V logic rails and tolerant of minor rail droop |
| Input voltage range (VI) | −0.5 V to 7 V, permitting safe interfacing with overvoltage-tolerant or floating-bus conditions |
| Latch-up immunity | >250 mA per JESD 17, eliminating risk of destructive latch-up during transient fault events |
| Off-state I/O capacitance (Cio(OFF)) | 4 pF, minimizing capacitive loading on adjacent traces and preserving signal integrity in dense routing |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-14 (PW) package: 5.0 mm × 4.4 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch, 1.2 mm max height, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Independent output-enable inputs | Active-high control signals; each enables its corresponding A↔B switch pair; tie low via pulldown resistor for power-up high-Z safety |
| 1A–4A, 1B–4B | Bidirectional signal terminals | Four independent analog/digital channels; no directionality-signal flows A→B or B→A identically when enabled |
| VCC | Positive supply | 4.0–5.5 V power rail; decoupling capacitor required near pin for noise suppression and transient current delivery |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal FETs and control logic; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quadruple independent FET switches | Enables selective isolation of four parallel data lines without shared control or crosstalk coupling |
| 5 Ω typical on-resistance | Minimizes voltage drop and power loss in 5 V/3.3 V signal paths, critical for maintaining logic thresholds in fan-out scenarios |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | VIL ≤ 0.8 V / VIH ≥ 2.0 V ensures reliable interfacing with legacy 5 V TTL and CMOS drivers without level shifters |
| Low input and off-state capacitance | 3 pF control input / 4 pF off-state I/O capacitance reduces loading on driving sources and preserves edge rate in high-speed buses |
| High latch-up immunity | Exceeds 250 mA per JESD 17, allowing robust operation in noisy industrial environments with ESD or surge transients |

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 channel, higher rON (7–10 Ω), supports 3.3 V–5 V dual-supply operation | Used where higher channel count and dual-rail support outweigh single-supply simplicity | Choose when expanding to 8-line buses or requiring independent VCC/VREF rails |
| 74LVC1G3157DBVR | Single-channel, lower rON (3–5 Ω), 1.65–5.5 V supply, smaller SOT-23-6 package | Applied in point-of-load signal gating where space is constrained and channel count is minimal | Prefer for ultra-compact designs needing only one isolated path with tighter on-resistance tolerance |
Compared with SN74CBT3126PWRG4, SN74CBTD3384PWR offers double the channel density but requires additional supply management, while 74LVC1G3157DBVR delivers superior rON in half the footprint but lacks multi-channel integration-selection depends on channel scaling, voltage flexibility, and board area trade-offs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current per channel for SN74CBT3126PWRG4?
The SN74CBT3126PWRG4 supports a continuous channel current of 128 mA per switch. This rating applies under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.0–5.5 V, TA = −40°C to +85°C) and ensures safe conduction without thermal runaway or parametric shift. Exceeding this limit risks permanent degradation of the FET channel resistance and reliability.
Does SN74CBT3126PWRG4 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its OE inputs?
Yes - to ensure high-impedance state during power-up or power-down, each OE input of SN74CBT3126PWRG4 must be tied to GND through a pulldown resistor. The minimum value is determined by the current-sourcing capability of the driver; TI recommends values between 1 kΩ and 10 kΩ for most 5 V logic systems to guarantee fast, deterministic disable behavior.
Can SN74CBT3126PWRG4 operate with a 3.3 V supply voltage?
No - SN74CBT3126PWRG4 has a specified minimum supply voltage of 4.0 V per its recommended operating conditions. Operation below 4.0 V may result in undefined switching behavior, increased on-resistance, or failure to meet timing specifications. For 3.3 V systems, consider alternatives like SN74LVC1G3157 or SN74CB3Q3257.
Is SN74CBT3126PWRG4 pin-compatible with other packages in the same family?
Yes - SN74CBT3126PWRG4 (TSSOP-14) shares identical pinout with SN74CBT3126D (SOIC-14), SN74CBT3126DBR (SSOP-14), and SN74CBT3126DGVR (TVSOP-14). All use the standard '126-type pin assignment: OE/A/B groups arranged symmetrically with VCC at pin 8 and GND at pin 7, enabling direct PCB footprint substitution across these packages.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of SN74CBT3126PWRG4 in its TSSOP package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) for SN74CBT3126PWRG4 in the PW (TSSOP-14) package is 113°C/W, measured per JESD 51-7. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer test board conditions; actual board-level performance improves significantly with copper pour, thermal vias, and proper layout per TI's PCB design guidelines for PW packages.
