Product details
Overview
SN74CBT3253D from Texas Instruments is a dual 1-of-4 high-speed TTL-compatible FET multiplexer/demultiplexer in SOIC-16 package, featuring 5 Ω typical on-state resistance at 4.5 V, <0.25 ns propagation delay (VCC = 5 V), and ±1 μA max input leakage current. It enables bidirectional signal routing in data path switching applications such as bus isolation and address/data multiplexing.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT3253D datasheet, SN74CBT3253D pinout, SN74CBT3253D application, or SN74CBT3253D equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL-compatible control inputs, low on-resistance for minimal signal degradation, fast enable/disable timing (6.4 ns ten / 7 ns tdis), and operation across −40°C to 85°C industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The SN74CBT3253D implements two independent 1-of-4 analog switches using NMOS pass-transistor architecture with TTL-level control logic. Each channel supports bidirectional signal flow between A and one of four B ports (B1–B4), selected by S0/S1 address lines and enabled via separate 1OE/2OE controls.
It operates with supply voltage from 4 V to 5.5 V, maintains rail-to-rail analog signal handling (VI/O = −0.5 V to 7 V), and delivers sub-nanosecond propagation delay due to low Ron–Cio product. Input capacitance is 3.5 pF per control pin; off-state B-port capacitance is 4 pF.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with 5-V TTL and mixed-voltage system rails. |
| On-State Resistance | 5 Ω typical at VCC = 4.5 V - Minimizes voltage drop and signal attenuation in high-speed digital or analog signal paths. |
| Propagation Delay | 0.25 ns typical (VCC = 5 V) - Enables use in >1-GHz data switching without timing bottlenecks. |
| Enable Time (ten) | 6.4 ns max - Supports rapid channel reconfiguration in dynamic bus arbitration systems. |
| Off-State Capacitance | 4 pF (B port, OE = VCC) - Reduces crosstalk and loading in high-frequency multiplexed buses. |
| Input Leakage Current | ±1 μA max - Prevents unintended biasing in high-impedance signal chains. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded and communications equipment. |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBT3253D is housed in a 16-pin SOIC (D) package, 7.4 mm × 5.0 mm footprint, 2.2 mm max height, with standard 1.27 mm pitch and gull-wing leads. Pin 1 index located at top-left corner with molded notch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE | Channel 1 output enable | Active-low control: drives 1A↔1Bx path when low; disconnects when high. |
| S1, S0 | Address select inputs (MSB, LSB) | Binary-selects one of four B ports (1B1–1B4 or 2B1–2B4) per channel. |
| 1A, 2A | Common input/output terminals | Bidirectional signal interface shared across all four B ports per channel. |
| 1B1–1B4, 2B1–2B4 | Channel-specific output terminals | Four dedicated signal paths per channel; electrically isolated when unselected. |
| 2OE | Channel 2 output enable | Independent enable for second 1-of-4 switch; allows asynchronous channel control. |
| VCC, GND | Power supply and reference | Single 5-V supply; no separate analog/digital ground required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible control inputs | VIH = 2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - Interfaces directly with legacy 5-V logic without level-shifting. |
| Bidirectional analog/digital switching | No inherent directionality - supports data flow from A→B or B→A with equal performance. |
| Low on-capacitance (10 pF) | Combines 3.5 pF control + 6.5 pF A-port capacitance - preserves signal integrity in >100-MHz applications. |
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | VI/O range −0.5 V to 7 V - Allows switching signals beyond VCC/GND, including partially powered systems. |
| Independent dual-channel control | Separate 1OE/2OE and shared S0/S1 - Enables synchronized or decoupled operation of both muxes. |
Applications
| PCI Bus Isolation | Memory Address Multiplexing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Isolating PCI slot signals during hot-plug events to prevent bus contention and backdrive damage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel bidirectional switch isolates AD[31:0] and C/BE#[3:0] lines under OE control while preserving timing-critical setup/hold margins. Use Value: 0.25 ns propagation delay ensures no violation of PCI 33-MHz timing budgets; 5 Ω Ron prevents signal reflection on stubbed traces. |
Use Scenario: Reducing pin count on microcontrollers by sharing address/data lines between multiple memory banks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Configured as dual 1-of-4 demux to route common address bus to four SRAM/Flash devices based on upper address bits. Use Value: Independent 1OE/2OE allows staggered enable timing to avoid simultaneous memory access conflicts; TTL inputs simplify FPGA interface logic. |
| Test Equipment Signal Routing | Digital Audio Data Switching |
Use Scenario: Automated test systems requiring flexible interconnection between DUT I/O and measurement instruments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed analog switch matrix enabling reconfigurable signal paths for jitter-sensitive serial interfaces (e.g., SPI, I²C). Use Value: 4 pF off-capacitance minimizes crosstalk between adjacent channels; rail-to-rail VI/O accommodates varying instrument output levels. |
Use Scenario: Selecting between multiple I²S audio sources (DACs, codecs) feeding a single amplifier or ADC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional mux routes LRCLK, BCLK, and SDATA with matched propagation delay across all paths. Use Value: Sub-nanosecond tpd ensures phase coherence across stereo channels; low Ron avoids amplitude loss in high-impedance audio paths. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual 1-of-4 analog switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTD3384D | Higher Ron (7 Ω typ), wider VCC range (3–5.5 V), integrated ESD protection (±2 kV HBM) | Better suited for mixed-voltage systems and environments with higher ESD risk | Select when operating below 4 V or requiring enhanced robustness; not drop-in due to different enable logic polarity. |
| TS3A226AEYFFR | Lower Ron (0.7 Ω typ), 1.65–3.6 V supply, 12-bit analog bandwidth, QFN-16 package | Optimized for portable, low-voltage, high-fidelity analog switching (e.g., audio, sensor front-ends) | Choose for battery-powered designs needing ultra-low Ron and sub-3.3 V operation; incompatible with 5-V TTL control. |
Compared with SN74CBT3253D, SN74CBTD3384D trades slight speed reduction for broader voltage support and ESD hardening, while TS3A226AEYFFR offers superior analog performance at lower voltages but lacks TTL compatibility and industrial temperature rating.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating for SN74CBT3253D?
The SN74CBT3253D supports up to 128 mA continuous channel current per switched path. This rating applies under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4–5.5 V, TA = −40°C to 85°C) and assumes adequate PCB thermal relief. Exceeding this current may increase on-resistance or cause thermal shutdown in sustained operation.
Does SN74CBT3253D support bidirectional signal flow?
Yes, SN74CBT3253D supports fully bidirectional signal flow between the A terminal and any selected B terminal (B1–B4). Its FET-based architecture imposes no intrinsic directionality, enabling use in both multiplexer (A→Bx) and demultiplexer (Bx→A) configurations without performance penalty.
Can SN74CBT3253D operate with a 3.3-V supply?
No, SN74CBT3253D requires a minimum 4-V supply for guaranteed operation per its recommended conditions. At 3.3 V, control inputs may fail to meet TTL thresholds (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V), and on-resistance increases significantly-potentially exceeding 15 Ω-degrading signal integrity.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of SN74CBT3253D in SOIC package?
The SN74CBT3253D in SOIC (D) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 73°C/W, measured per JESD 51-7. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board layout; actual thermal performance improves with copper pour and thermal vias under the exposed pad (if present) or power/ground planes.
Are unused control inputs required to be terminated on SN74CBT3253D?
Yes, all unused control inputs (S0, S1, 1OE, 2OE) must be tied to either VCC or GND to ensure predictable switching behavior and prevent floating-node-induced shoot-through or increased ICC. TI recommends referencing SCBA004 for implementation guidance on CMOS input termination.
