Product details
Overview
SN74CBT3244CDGVR from Texas Instruments is a high-speed TTL-compatible FET bus switch organized as two independent 4-bit bidirectional switches, featuring 3 Ω typical ON-state resistance, near-zero propagation delay (0.15 ns at 5 V), and undershoot protection up to −2 V on both A and B ports. It operates from 4 V to 5.5 V and supports mixed-voltage signaling (0.8 V to 5 V) in USB interface and memory interleaving applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT3244CDGVR datasheet, SN74CBT3244CDGVR pinout, SN74CBT3244CDGVR application, or SN74CBT3244CDGVR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, TVSOP-20 package details, Ioff partial-power-down behavior, and real-world use cases for bus isolation and low-distortion signal gating.
Technical Context
The SN74CBT3244CDGVR implements dual 4-bit FET-based analog/digital bus switches with independent OE control (1OE, 2OE). Each switch enables bidirectional conduction when its OE is low, with internal undershoot-protection circuitry actively clamping port voltages below −2 V to maintain OFF-state integrity during transient events.
It features Ioff support for partial-power-down operation, ensuring no backflow current when VCC = 0 V, and integrates clamp diodes on all data and control inputs. The device maintains high-impedance isolation between A and B ports when disabled, with Cio(OFF) = 5.5 pF typical to minimize capacitive loading and signal distortion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4 V to 5.5 V - Enables compatibility with 5-V and mixed-voltage systems including 3.3-V/5-V interface translation. |
| ron (Typical) | 3 Ω - Ensures minimal voltage drop and power loss during signal pass-through, critical for low-noise analog and high-speed digital paths. |
| tpd (Max) | 0.24 ns at 4 V - Delivers near-zero propagation delay for timing-critical applications like memory interleaving and clock distribution gating. |
| Cio(OFF) | 5.5 pF typical - Reduces capacitive loading on driven buses, preserving signal edge rate and minimizing crosstalk in dense PCB layouts. |
| Undershoot Protection | −2 V on A/B ports - Prevents false turn-on during negative transients, eliminating need for external clamping diodes in industrial or hot-swap environments. |
| Ioff Current | 10 µA max at VCC = 0 - Guarantees safe isolation during power sequencing or partial system shutdown without damaging current paths. |
| VI/O Range | 0 to 5.5 V - Supports full 5-V signaling and level-shifting across 0.8-V, 1.2-V, 1.5-V, 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V logic families. |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBT3244CDGVR is housed in a 20-pin TVSOP (DGV) package, 4.3 mm × 3.6 mm × 1.05 mm, with 0.5-mm pitch, lead-free NIPDAU finish, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 (unlimited floor life).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE | Active-low output-enable control inputs | Enable/disable respective 4-bit switch sections independently; must be pulled to VCC via resistor during power-up for guaranteed high-Z state. |
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4 | Port A data terminals (Group 1 & 2) | Input/output pins for first and second 4-bit switch banks; bidirectional with no direction control required. |
| 1B1–1B4, 2B1–2B4 | Port B data terminals (Group 1 & 2) | Paired with corresponding A pins; conduct bidirectionally when OE is low; high-impedance when OE is high. |
| VCC | Positive supply | Power rail for internal FET biasing and clamp circuitry; must be stable within 4–5.5 V for specified performance. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all signals and supply current; requires low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional switching | No direction pin required - simplifies PCB routing and eliminates control logic overhead in bus isolation designs. |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Blocks reverse current flow when VCC = 0 V - enables safe hot-plug operation and mixed-power-domain system design. |
| Undershoot protection | Active clamping to −2 V on all A/B ports - prevents unintended conduction during ESD or cable-disconnect transients. |
| Low input/output capacitance | Cio(OFF) = 5.5 pF - minimizes loading on high-speed buses, preserving signal integrity in USB 2.0 and DDR memory interfaces. |
| TTL/CMOS-compatible control | VIH = 2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - allows direct drive from legacy 5-V TTL or modern 3.3-V CMOS logic without level shifters. |

FAQ
What is the maximum undershoot voltage the SN74CBT3244CDGVR can withstand on its A and B ports?
The SN74CBT3244CDGVR provides active undershoot protection up to −2 V on both A and B ports, as confirmed in the absolute maximum ratings and undershoot characteristics section of the SCDS130A datasheet. This clamping function remains active regardless of OE state and prevents unintended switch turn-on during negative transients, making SN74CBT3244CDGVR suitable for hot-swap and industrial environments where cable disconnect or ESD events may occur.
Does the SN74CBT3244CDGVR support partial-power-down operation, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the SN74CBT3244CDGVR supports partial-power-down operation via its Ioff feature. When VCC = 0 V, the device limits Ioff to 10 µA maximum while maintaining high-impedance isolation between A and B ports. This prevents damaging backflow current from live buses into unpowered sections-a key requirement for systems with staggered power sequencing. The Ioff specification is validated per JEDEC JESD78 Class II latch-up testing.
What is the typical ON-state resistance (ron) of the SN74CBT3244CDGVR, and how does it affect signal integrity?
The SN74CBT3244CDGVR has a typical ON-state resistance of 3 Ω at VCC = 4.5 V and IO = 30 mA, as measured per the datasheet's electrical characteristics table. This low ron minimizes voltage drop and power dissipation across the switch, preserving signal amplitude and reducing jitter in high-speed digital paths. In analog applications, it ensures flat gain response and low THD, directly supporting low-distortion signal gating in audio and video routing.
Can the SN74CBT3244CDGVR be used for level translation between different logic families?
Yes, the SN74CBT3244CDGVR supports 0 to 5.5-V signaling on its data I/Os and accepts TTL- or CMOS-level control inputs (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V), enabling interoperability among 0.8-V, 1.2-V, 1.5-V, 1.8-V, 2.5-V, 3.3-V, and 5-V logic families. Its bidirectional nature and lack of direction control simplify level-shifting implementations-no external biasing or direction logic is needed, unlike traditional translators requiring dedicated VREF or DIR pins.
What package type is used for the SN74CBT3244CDGVR, and what are its key mechanical attributes?
The SN74CBT3244CDGVR uses the TVSOP-20 (DGV) package: 4.3 mm × 3.6 mm × 1.05 mm body size, 0.5-mm lead pitch, 20-pin configuration, lead-free NIPDAU finish, and MSL Level-1 (unlimited floor life). Its compact footprint and low profile make it ideal for space-constrained applications such as portable USB devices and dense FPGA carrier boards, while the exposed pad variant (not used here) is reserved for thermal-enhanced variants like RGY.
