Product details
Overview
SN74CBT3245ADWR 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 typical on-state resistance, 0.25 ns propagation delay at 5 V, and operates from 4 V to 5.5 V supply. It is used in address/data bus isolation, hot-swap interface buffering, and level-translating I/O expansion circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT3245ADWR datasheet, SN74CBT3245ADWR pinout, SN74CBT3245ADWR application, or SN74CBT3245ADWR equivalent, key selection criteria include its low on-resistance switching, standard '245-type pinout compatibility, TTL-level control input thresholds, and guaranteed high-impedance isolation during power sequencing.
Technical Context
The SN74CBT3245ADWR implements eight independent NMOS pass-gate switches with no internal logic inversion or latching. Its output-enable (OE) input controls all eight channels simultaneously: OE low enables bidirectional conduction between A and B ports; OE high places both ports in high-impedance state.
It uses charge-pump-assisted gate drive to maintain low and symmetric on-resistance across the full input voltage range (0–VCC), enabling rail-to-rail analog or digital signal switching without body diode conduction. The device requires no external bias and supports hot-insertion when OE is pulled up to VCC via a resistor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage (VCC) | 4 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with 5-V TTL and mixed-voltage systems; operation below 4 V not guaranteed. |
| On-State Resistance (ron) | 5 Ω typical at VCC = 4.5 V - Enables minimal voltage drop (<150 mV at 30 mA) and preserves signal integrity in high-speed buses. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 0.25 ns at VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF - Supports >1 GHz effective switching rates in low-capacitance interconnects. |
| Control Input Thresholds | VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V - Directly interfaces with standard TTL outputs without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Off-State Capacitance (Cio) | 4 pF max - Limits crosstalk and loading on adjacent traces in dense PCB layouts. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded and communications equipment environments. |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBT3245ADWR is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package measuring 7.5 mm × 12.8 mm × 2.65 mm, with 1.27 mm lead pitch and gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is located at the top-left corner adjacent to the index notch or dot marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | A1–A8 | Port A bidirectional data terminals - Connect to upstream bus or controller side; electrically identical to B-side when switch is enabled. |
| 9 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and substrate - Must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 10 | VCC | Positive supply input - Powers internal charge pump and gate drivers; bypass capacitor (0.1 µF) required near pin. |
| 11 | OE | Active-low output enable - Driven low to connect A↔B; must be pulled high (e.g., 10 kΩ to VCC) during power-up/down to ensure Hi-Z state. |
| 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 | B1–B8 | Port B bidirectional data terminals - Connect to downstream bus, memory, or peripheral side; functionally mirrored to A-port. |
| 20 | NC | No internal connection - Left unconnected; not bonded or tied internally; may be used as mechanical anchor or keep-out marker. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Standard '245 pinout compatibility | Enables drop-in replacement for legacy 74LS245/74HC245 in existing PCB layouts without redesign. |
| TTL-compatible control inputs | Accepts standard 5-V TTL logic levels directly - eliminates need for external level translators on OE line. |
| 5-Ω typical on-resistance | Reduces insertion loss and timing skew across all eight channels, critical for parallel bus signal matching. |
| 0.25 ns propagation delay | Supports sub-nanosecond edge alignment in high-speed synchronous interfaces such as ISA, LPC, or custom parallel buses. |
| High-impedance isolation on disable | Guarantees <1 μA leakage between A and B ports when OE is high - prevents back-driving and contention in shared-bus systems. |
Applications
| PCI Bus Isolation | Memory Address Buffering |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Isolating PCI add-in card address/data lines from motherboard during hot-plug insertion or reset sequences. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional bus switch controlled by system reset or slot enable signal to prevent bus contention.

Use Value: Delivers 0.25 ns tpd and 4 pF off-capacitance - minimizes setup/hold time violations in 20+ MHz memory access cycles. |
| Hot-Swap I/O Expansion | Level-Translating Data Multiplexing |
|
Use Scenario: Enabling safe insertion/removal of I/O daughterboards in industrial PLC backplanes operating at 5 V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: OE-controlled isolation barrier that asserts high-Z state before power sequencing begins. Use Value: Built-in power-up robustness via OE pull-up requirement ensures default isolation - no external sequencer logic needed. |
Use Scenario: Multiplexing 3.3-V FPGA I/O with 5-V peripheral devices using shared data bus architecture. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional voltage-agnostic switch leveraging FET pass-gate topology for rail-to-rail signal passage. Use Value: 5-Ω Ron and symmetric conduction allow clean 3.3 V ↔ 5 V translation without level-shifter latency or DC bias networks. |
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 | Includes integrated 5-V tolerant level shifters; higher 7-Ω ron; 3.3-V core supply only. | Required when interfacing 3.3-V logic to 5-V buses with automatic voltage translation. | Select when level-shifting capability is mandatory; not pin-compatible due to different pinout and VCCIO requirements. |
| 74LVC245APW | CMOS-based 3-state transceiver; 3.3-V only; 24 mA drive; no true bidirectional passive switching. | Suitable for unidirectional or direction-controlled data flow with active drive strength. | Choose when bus driving capability (not just switching) is needed; incompatible for passive, low-latency, bidirectional use cases. |
Compared with SN74CBT3245ADWR, SN74CBTD3384ADWR adds level translation but increases on-resistance and alters pin assignment, while 74LVC245APW provides active drive and direction control but lacks true passive bidirectional transparency and sub-nanosecond latency.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating per channel for the SN74CBT3245ADWR?
The SN74CBT3245ADWR supports a maximum continuous channel current of 128 mA per switch path. This rating applies under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4–5.5 V, TA = −40°C to +85°C) and ensures reliable conduction without thermal runaway or parametric shift. Exceeding this value risks permanent degradation of on-resistance and switching lifetime.
Does the SN74CBT3245ADWR require external pull-up resistors on the OE pin?
Yes, the SN74CBT3245ADWR requires an external pull-up resistor on the OE pin to VCC to guarantee high-impedance isolation during power-up and power-down transitions. TI specifies a minimum resistor value based on the driver's current-sinking capability; a 10-kΩ resistor is commonly used and ensures OE remains high until valid VCC is established.
Can the SN74CBT3245ADWR operate with a 3.3-V supply?
No, the SN74CBT3245ADWR is not rated for 3.3-V operation. Its recommended operating supply range is 4 V to 5.5 V, and absolute maximum ratings specify VCC down to −0.5 V but do not guarantee functionality below 4 V. For 3.3-V systems, TI recommends the SN74CBTD3384A or SN74LVC245A as functional alternatives.
Is the SN74CBT3245ADWR pin-compatible with standard 74-series '245 devices?
Yes, the SN74CBT3245ADWR uses the standard '245-type pinout across SOIC (DW), SSOP (DB), TSSOP (PW), and TVSOP (DGV) packages. Pin assignments for A1–A8, B1–B8, OE, VCC, GND, and NC match industry-standard octal transceivers, enabling direct PCB footprint reuse without layout modification.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the SN74CBT3245ADWR in its SOIC (DW) package?
The SN74CBT3245ADWR in the SOIC (DW) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 58°C/W, measured per JESD 51-7. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions (1-inch² copper pad, 2 oz Cu). Actual thermal performance depends on PCB copper area, airflow, and nearby heat sources.
