Product details
Overview
SN74CBT3244CDW from Texas Instruments is a high-speed TTL-compatible 8-bit FET bus switch organized as two independent 4-bit switches, featuring near-zero propagation delay (0.15 ns typical at 5 V), low ON-state resistance (3 Ω typical), and bidirectional signal flow with undershoot protection up to −2 V on A/B ports. It supports mixed-voltage signaling (0.8 V to 5 V) and is used in USB interface isolation and memory interleaving applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT3244CDW datasheet, SN74CBT3244CDW pinout, SN74CBT3244CDW application, or SN74CBT3244CDW equivalent, key selection criteria include Ioff partial-power-down capability, 5.5 pF OFF-state I/O capacitance, VCC operating range (4–5.5 V), and SOIC-20 package compatibility for legacy board designs.
Technical Context
The SN74CBT3244CDW implements dual 4-bit FET-based analog/digital bus switches with independent active-low output-enable inputs (1OE, 2OE). Each switch channel provides true bidirectional conduction with no direction control required, relying on passive FET topology and internal undershoot-protection circuitry that clamps transient events below −2 V while maintaining OFF-state integrity.
It features Ioff isolation during partial power-down, ensuring no backflow current when VCC = 0 V, and supports TTL/CMOS-compatible control inputs (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) while data I/Os operate across 0–5.5 V. The device meets JESD 78 Class II latch-up immunity (>100 mA) and JESD 22 ESD ratings (2000-V HBM, 1000-V CDM).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4 V to 5.5 V - Enables direct integration into 5-V logic systems without level-shifting. |
| ron (Typical) | 3 Ω - Minimizes voltage drop and signal distortion under ±64 mA load per switch path. |
| tpd (Max) | 0.24 ns at 4 V - Enables sub-nanosecond timing-critical signal gating in high-speed buses. |
| Cio(OFF) | 5.5 pF typical - Reduces capacitive loading on driven lines, preserving signal edge rates. |
| Ioff | 10 µA at VCC = 0 V - Prevents damaging current injection during system power sequencing. |
| VI/O Range | 0 V to 5.5 V - Supports interoperability between 1.8-V, 2.5-V, 3.3-V, and 5-V logic domains. |
| Undershoot Protection | −2 V on A/B ports - Maintains OFF-state integrity during negative transients without external clamping. |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBT3244CDW uses a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package with 7.5 mm body width, 2.65 mm max height, and 1.27 mm lead pitch. Pin 1 index is marked by a beveled corner; devices are shipped in tubes (25 pcs/tube) with RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish and MSL Level-1 reflow rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE | Active-low output-enable control | Drives associated 4-bit switch ON (low) or OFF (high); requires pull-up to VCC for power-up high-impedance safety. |
| 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 needed. |
| 1B1–1B4, 2B1–2B4 | Port B data terminals (Group 1 & 2) | Paired bidirectional counterparts to A-side pins; connected internally via low-ron FETs when OE is asserted. |
| VCC, GND | Power supply and reference | Single 4–5.5 V supply; GND serves as common return for all I/O and control signals. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional zero-delay switching | Enables transparent signal pass-through in either direction without added latency or direction logic. |
| Undershoot protection (−2 V) | Prevents false turn-on and latch-up during negative transients without external diodes or PCB layout changes. |
| Ioff partial-power-down support | Guarantees isolation between powered and unpowered system domains, critical for hot-swap and modular backplanes. |
| Low 5.5-pF OFF-state capacitance | Minimizes crosstalk and signal degradation in high-frequency bus isolation applications like USB 2.0 routing. |
| Mixed-voltage I/O (0–5.5 V) | Eliminates need for discrete level shifters when interfacing 1.8-V microcontrollers to 5-V peripherals. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTD3384CDW | Higher ron (5 Ω typ), supports 3.3-V-only operation (VCC = 2.3–3.6 V), adds 3-state control per bit. | Targeted for low-voltage embedded buses; lacks −2 V undershoot protection and Ioff capability. | Select when operating exclusively at 3.3 V and requiring per-bit enable granularity over group enable. |
| SN74LVC2G66DCKR | Single-channel SPST switch, lower ron (0.6 Ω typ), but only 2 pins; no multi-bit grouping or dual OE control. | Suitable for point-to-point signal gating, not bus-wide isolation; lacks undershoot clamp diodes. | Choose for compact, low-rón single-line switching where space constraints preclude 20-pin SOIC footprint. |
Compared with SN74CBT3244CDW, SN74CBTD3384CDW trades undershoot robustness and Ioff for lower-voltage compatibility and finer control granularity, while SN74LVC2G66DCKR offers superior ron and size efficiency at the cost of bus-scale functionality and transient protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum undershoot voltage the SN74CBT3244CDW can tolerate on its A/B ports?
The SN74CBT3244CDW provides active undershoot protection up to −2 V on both A and B ports, as verified in the SCDS130A datasheet Section 6. This protection ensures the switch remains reliably OFF during negative transients without requiring external clamping diodes or PCB layout modifications. The SN74CBT3244CDW maintains high-impedance isolation even under these conditions, preventing false turn-on and signal corruption.
Does the SN74CBT3244CDW support partial-power-down operation?
Yes, the SN74CBT3244CDW fully supports partial-power-down via its Ioff feature. When VCC = 0 V, the device limits backflow current to ≤10 µA (per datasheet Section 5), isolating powered and unpowered domains. This behavior is critical for hot-swap systems and modular backplanes. The SN74CBT3244CDW achieves this without external circuitry, making it suitable for systems with staggered power sequencing.
What is the typical ON-state resistance of the SN74CBT3244CDW and how does it affect signal integrity?
The SN74CBT3244CDW has a typical ON-state resistance (ron) of 3 Ω at VCC = 4.5 V and IO = 30 mA. This low ron minimizes voltage drop and power dissipation across the switch, preserving signal amplitude and reducing harmonic distortion-especially important in analog signal gating and high-speed digital buses. The SN74CBT3244CDW maintains this performance across its full 4–5.5 V VCC range, ensuring consistent behavior in varying supply conditions.
Can the SN74CBT3244CDW interface between different logic voltage levels such as 1.8 V and 5 V?
Yes, the SN74CBT3244CDW supports data I/O signaling from 0 V to 5.5 V independently of VCC, enabling seamless interfacing between 0.8-V, 1.2-V, 1.5-V, 1.8-V, 2.5-V, 3.3-V, and 5-V logic families. Control inputs accept TTL/5-V CMOS levels (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V), while the SN74CBT3244CDW's FET architecture ensures bidirectional voltage translation without level-shifters or additional biasing components.
What package type and thermal characteristics apply to the SN74CBT3244CDW?
The SN74CBT3244CDW uses a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package with θJA = 58°C/W (datasheet Section 4), 7.5 mm body width, and 2.65 mm max height. It is RoHS-compliant with NiPdAu lead finish and MSL Level-1 (unlimited floor life). The SN74CBT3244CDW is supplied in tubes (25 units/tube) and supports standard reflow profiles up to 260°C peak, making it compatible with legacy assembly lines and automated optical inspection workflows.
