Product details
Overview
SN74CBT3245ADW 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 5 V, and operates from −40°C to 85°C with 4–5.5 V supply. It serves in address/data bus isolation and hot-swap interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT3245ADW datasheet, SN74CBT3245ADW pinout, SN74CBT3245ADW application, or SN74CBT3245ADW equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance matching, OE-controlled bidirectional switching, SOIC-20 thermal performance (θJA = 58°C/W), and TTL-level input compatibility without level translation.
Technical Context
The SN74CBT3245ADW implements eight independent FET transmission gates controlled by a single active-low output-enable (OE) signal. When OE is low, all A–B paths conduct with minimal RC delay; when OE is high, both ports enter high-impedance states. Its architecture avoids latch-up and supports hot-insertion due to rail-to-rail voltage tolerance (−0.5 V to 7 V).
It uses standard '245-type pinout in SOIC-20 (DW) package, enabling drop-in replacement in legacy 74-series bus switch layouts. The device requires no external biasing-TTL-compatible VIH/VIL thresholds (2 V/0.8 V) allow direct interfacing with 5-V logic families without pull-up/down resistors on data lines.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with 5-V TTL and mixed-supply systems without overvoltage risk. |
| ron (Typ) | 5 Ω - Enables <10 mV voltage drop at 30 mA per channel, preserving signal integrity across bus segments. |
| tpd (Typ) | 0.25 ns at VCC = 5 V - Supports >1 GHz effective switching rates for high-speed digital interconnects. |
| IOH/IOL | ±128 mA continuous channel current - Sustains full drive capability across all eight channels simultaneously. |
| VIH/VIL | 2 V / 0.8 V - Directly interfaces with standard 5-V TTL outputs without level-shifting circuitry. |
| θJA | 58°C/W - Confirmed for SOIC-20 (DW) package; enables thermal design up to ~150 mW power dissipation at 85°C ambient. |
| Cio(OFF) | 4 pF - Limits capacitive loading during disable state, critical for maintaining signal rise/fall times in high-frequency buses. |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBT3245ADW is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package, 7.5 mm × 12.8 mm body size, 2.65 mm max height, with 1.27 mm lead pitch and gull-wing leads. Pin 1 index area located at top-left corner with notch marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | A1–A8 | Port A data inputs/outputs - Bidirectionally connected to Port B when OE is low; high-Z when OE is high. |
| 9 | GND | Ground reference - Must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into analog switch paths. |
| 10 | VCC | Positive supply - Powers internal FET gates; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required within 1 cm of this pin. |
| 11 | OE | Active-low output enable - Driven low to enable A↔B conduction; tied to VCC via pull-up resistor for power-up high-Z safety. |
| 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 | B1–B8 | Port B data inputs/outputs - Electrically identical to A-side; no directionality imposed by IC. |
| 20 | NC | No internal connection - Left unconnected; not used for thermal pad or grounding in SOIC-20 DW package. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5-Ω on-state resistance | Minimizes insertion loss and voltage droop across 8-bit data/address paths, preserving logic margins in 5-V systems. |
| Standard '245 pinout | Enables mechanical and layout compatibility with legacy 74LS245/74ACT245 designs without PCB revision. |
| TTL-compatible control inputs | Eliminates need for external level shifters when driven by 5-V microcontrollers, FPGAs, or ASICs. |
| High-impedance off-state | Isolates A and B ports with <1 μA leakage, preventing back-driving and bus contention during power sequencing. |

Applications
| Memory Address Bus Isolation | PCI/ISA Bus Buffering |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Isolating CPU address lines from multiple memory banks to prevent contention during bank switching. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional 8-bit bus switch controlled by memory controller's chip-select strobe. Use Value: 5-Ω ron ensures <50 mV address line droop at 100 mA peak current, maintaining setup/hold timing margins. | Use Scenario: Buffering shared ISA bus signals between legacy I/O cards and host bridge logic. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Hot-swap-capable bus isolator enabling card insertion/removal without system reset. Use Value: Rail-to-rail I/O tolerance (−0.5 V to 7 V) prevents latch-up during live insertion transients. |
| Microcontroller Peripheral Multiplexing | Test Access Port (TAP) Signal Routing |
Use Scenario: Sharing a single 8-bit GPIO port between UART, SPI, and parallel LCD interfaces via software-controlled routing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-latency (0.25 ns tpd) bidirectional switch enabling real-time peripheral reconfiguration. Use Value: 4 pF off-state capacitance minimizes signal degradation on 10-MHz SPI clock lines routed through the switch. | Use Scenario: Dynamically routing JTAG TDI/TDO/TMS signals between multiple FPGA test chains on a single board. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: OE-gated signal path selector synchronized to boundary-scan controller enable pulses. Use Value: High-impedance off-state (<1 μA leakage) prevents false TCK edge detection during chain reconfiguration. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTD3384ADWR | Higher 10-Ω ron, 3.3-V only supply, 24-pin SSOP - includes dual 4-bit configuration with separate OE per group. | Requires 3.3-V system integration; less suitable for 5-V legacy buses but better for low-power embedded designs. | Select when lower static current (ICC = 10 μA) and 3.3-V operation are prioritized over speed and 5-V compatibility. |
| 74LVC245APW | CMOS-based 8-bit transceiver with direction control (DIR), 3.3-V supply, 20-pin TSSOP - not a FET switch; has push-pull outputs. | Requires explicit direction control logic; unsuitable for true bidirectional passive switching but offers higher drive strength (24 mA). | Choose when active driving (not passive switching) is needed, and direction is known a priori - e.g., unidirectional data transfer with flow control. |
Compared with SN74CBT3245ADW, SN74CBTD3384ADWR trades speed and voltage range for lower power and finer channel granularity, while 74LVC245APW replaces passive FET switching with active CMOS buffering-requiring DIR signal routing and sacrificing true bidirectional transparency.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the SN74CBT3245ADW?
The SN74CBT3245ADW is rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This industrial-grade range is validated per TI's recommended operating conditions and supported by thermal characterization (θJA = 58°C/W for SOIC-20). Derating applies above 70°C ambient if power dissipation exceeds 100 mW.
Does the SN74CBT3245ADW require external pull-up resistors on the OE pin?
Yes - to ensure high-impedance state during power-up or power-down, OE must be tied to VCC via a pull-up resistor. TI specifies minimum resistance based on driver sink capability; for standard TTL drivers, 4.7 kΩ is commonly used. Leaving OE floating risks undefined switching behavior and potential bus contention.
Can the SN74CBT3245ADW operate with a 3.3-V supply?
No - the SN74CBT3245ADW requires VCC between 4 V and 5.5 V per its recommended operating conditions. At 3.3 V, the internal FETs fail to fully enhance, resulting in elevated on-resistance (>20 Ω), increased propagation delay, and possible logic threshold violations. Use SN74CBTD3384A for 3.3-V systems.
Is the SN74CBT3245ADW pin-compatible with the original 74LS245?
Yes - the SN74CBT3245ADW uses standard '245-type pinout in SOIC-20 (DW), matching pin-for-pin with 74LS245, 74ACT245, and other industry-standard octal transceivers. However, it functions as a bidirectional switch (not a transceiver), so direction control logic is unnecessary - OE replaces DIR.
What is the off-state capacitance of the SN74CBT3245ADW, and why does it matter?
The SN74CBT3245ADW has Cio(OFF) = 4 pF per channel when disabled. This low value limits capacitive loading on high-speed buses (e.g., 10+ MHz address/data lines), preserving signal edge rates and reducing crosstalk. In contrast, higher off-capacitance (>10 pF) would degrade rise/fall times and increase reflection-induced jitter.
