Product details
Overview
SN74CBT3245ADBQR from Texas Instruments is an octal FET bus switch IC designed for high-speed TTL-compatible bidirectional data routing between two 8-bit ports (A and B). It features 5-Ω on-state resistance, 0.25 ns typical propagation delay at VCC = 5 V, and operates across −40°C to 85°C. It serves as a low-latency signal path control element in memory address/data bus isolation and hot-swap interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT3245ADBQR datasheet, SN74CBT3245ADBQR pinout, SN74CBT3245ADBQR application, or SN74CBT3245ADBQR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5-Ω Ron, 20-pin SSOP package, OE-controlled bidirectional switching, TTL-compatible input thresholds, and thermal impedance of 68°C/W - all critical for low-skew digital interconnect design.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent NMOS transmission-gate switches with no internal level-shifting circuitry. Each A–B channel conducts bidirectionally when OE is low, exhibiting symmetrical on-resistance and minimal charge injection. The control logic uses standard TTL voltage thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2 V) and requires OE to be pulled high via external resistor during power sequencing to guarantee high-impedance state.
Switching performance is load-dependent: tpd = 0.25 ns (typ) and ten/tdis ≈ 2–6 ns (VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF), with on-resistance specified at 5–7 Ω (VCC = 4.5 V, II = 30 mA). Input capacitance is 4 pF per control pin, and off-state I/O capacitance is 4 pF, minimizing capacitive loading on connected buses.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (ron) | 5–7 Ω at VCC = 4.5 V - ensures minimal voltage drop and signal distortion across A/B ports under 30 mA load. |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.25 ns (typ) at VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF - enables sub-nanosecond data path timing in high-speed bus architectures. |
| Supply voltage range | 4 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5-V TTL and mixed-voltage system rails without level translation. |
| Input threshold (VIH/VIL) | VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V - directly interfaces with legacy TTL outputs without additional buffering. |
| Operating temperature | −40°C to +85°C - supports industrial-grade operation in embedded controllers and communications equipment. |
| Package thermal impedance (θJA) | 68°C/W (DBQ package) - defines maximum power dissipation limit (~150 mW at ΔT = 10°C) for thermal design margin. |
| Control input leakage (II) | ±5 μA max at VCC = 5.5 V - allows high-value pull-up resistors (>100 kΩ) on OE without compromising noise immunity. |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBT3245ADBQR is housed in a 20-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with 0.65 mm lead pitch, 7.4 mm × 5.3 mm body, and 2.0 mm max height. Pin 1 index is marked by a notch or dot; the package is RoHS-compliant with NIPDAU lead finish and MSL Level-1 rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | A1–A8 | Port A input/output terminals - bidirectionally connected to B1–B8 when OE is active low. |
| 9 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and signal return path. |
| 10 | VCC | Positive supply rail (4–5.5 V); powers internal FET gates and bias networks. |
| 11 | OE | Active-low output-enable control - drives all eight switches simultaneously into on/off state. |
| 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 | B1–B8 | Port B input/output terminals - electrically mirrored to A1–A8 during conduction. |
| 20 | NC | No internal connection - must remain unconnected; not used for thermal pad or grounding. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Standard '245-type pinout | Enables drop-in replacement for legacy 74-series bus transceivers without PCB redesign. |
| Bidirectional signal routing | Eliminates need for direction-control logic or separate transmit/receive paths in shared-bus topologies. |
| Low on-state resistance (5 Ω) | Reduces insertion loss and maintains signal integrity for 5-V CMOS/TTL signals up to 100 MHz. |
| TTL-compatible control inputs | Directly accepts standard 5-V logic outputs without level shifters or pull-up resistors on A/B lines. |
| High-impedance isolation when disabled | Prevents back-driving and bus contention during power-up/down or standby modes. |
Applications
| Memory Address Bus Isolation | Hot-Swap Backplane Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Isolating CPU address lines from multiple memory modules to prevent contention during module insertion/removal. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional bus switch enabling/disabling address path between processor and memory banks under OE control.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTD3384CDWR | Higher Ron (7–10 Ω), 24-pin SOIC, includes 2-bit enable grouping and higher drive strength. | Supports split-bus configurations where subsets of lines require independent control. | Choose when granular enable control or higher current capability (128 mA per channel) is required. |
| 74LVC245APW | CMOS-based, 3.3-V only, 8-bit direction-controlled transceiver (not bidirectional switch), 3-state outputs. | Requires direction pin and is unsuitable for true bidirectional passive routing without external logic. | Choose only if system operates strictly at 3.3 V and direction control is acceptable overhead. |
Compared with SN74CBT3245ADBQR, SN74CBTD3384CDWR offers finer enable segmentation but larger footprint and higher Ron, while 74LVC245APW lacks true bidirectional pass-through behavior and mandates voltage-level alignment - making SN74CBT3245ADBQR optimal for low-latency, 5-V, OE-synchronized bus gating.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current per channel for SN74CBT3245ADBQR?
The absolute maximum continuous channel current for SN74CBT3245ADBQR is 128 mA, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value applies to each A–B switch path individually under steady-state conditions and must be derated based on ambient temperature and package thermal impedance (68°C/W for DBQ) to maintain junction temperature below 150°C.
Does SN74CBT3245ADBQR support 3.3-V operation?
No, SN74CBT3245ADBQR is not rated for 3.3-V operation. Its recommended operating supply voltage is 4 V to 5.5 V, and electrical characteristics including Ron, tpd, and VIH/VIL are guaranteed only within this range. Operating below 4 V may result in undefined switching behavior and increased on-resistance.
Can SN74CBT3245ADBQR be used in place of a 74LS245 in existing designs?
Yes, SN74CBT3245ADBQR uses the standard '245-type pinout and TTL-compatible input levels, allowing direct substitution for 74LS245 in most 5-V systems. However, it lacks direction control and operates as a bidirectional switch enabled by OE - verify that system logic drives OE appropriately instead of relying on DIR pin functionality.
What is the recommended pull-up resistor value for OE on SN74CBT3245ADBQR?
Texas Instruments recommends tying OE to VCC through a pull-up resistor to ensure high-impedance state during power-up. The minimum value depends on the driver's current-sinking capability; for typical microcontroller GPIO (±20 mA), a 10-kΩ resistor provides sufficient noise margin while limiting current to <0.5 mA at 5 V.
Is SN74CBT3245ADBQR pin-compatible with other packages in the same family?
Yes, SN74CBT3245ADBQR shares identical pin numbering and signal assignment with other variants including SN74CBT3245ADW (SOIC), SN74CBT3245APWR (TSSOP), and SN74CBT3245ARGYR (VQFN), all adhering to the standard 20-pin '245 layout. Mechanical dimensions differ, but schematic symbol and netlist mapping remain consistent.
