Product details
Overview
SN74CBT3306D from Texas Instruments is a dual FET bus switch IC with independent 5-Ω on-state resistance switches, TTL-compatible control inputs (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V), and operation across −40°C to 85°C. It enables bidirectional signal routing in low-voltage data paths such as address/data buses in microcontroller peripherals and memory interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT3306D datasheet, SN74CBT3306D pinout, SN74CBT3306D application, or SN74CBT3306D equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance matching (5–7 Ω), sub-1 ns propagation delay (tpd = 0.25 ns at VCC = 5 V), OE-controlled isolation, and SOIC-8 thermal performance (θJA = 97°C/W).
Technical Context
The SN74CBT3306D implements two independent transmission-gate-based FET switches, each controlled by a dedicated OE input operating in positive logic: OE low enables A↔B conduction; OE high disconnects both ports. No internal level-shifting or biasing circuitry is present - the switch passes signals bi-directionally with minimal voltage drop.
Each channel supports rail-to-rail analog/digital signal switching up to 128 mA continuous current, with input/output voltage range extending from −0.5 V to 7 V. The device draws only 3 μA ICC at VCC = 5.5 V and exhibits low capacitive loading: Ci = 3 pF (control), Cio(OFF) = 4 pF (switch off-state).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (ron) | 5–7 Ω typical at VI = 2.4 V, II = 15 mA - ensures minimal signal attenuation and voltage drop in 3.3 V/5 V digital buses. |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.25 ns at VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF - enables use in high-speed parallel interfaces up to ~1 GHz effective bandwidth. |
| Supply voltage (VCC) | 4–5.5 V recommended - compatible with standard 5 V TTL and mixed 3.3 V/5 V system backplanes. |
| Control input thresholds | VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V - guarantees reliable TTL-level compatibility without external level shifters. |
| Off-state capacitance (Cio) | 4 pF at VO = 3 V or 0 V - minimizes crosstalk and loading on adjacent high-impedance nodes during disable. |
| Thermal resistance (θJA) | 97°C/W for SOIC-8 package - defines maximum power dissipation (≤125 mW at ΔT = 12°C rise) under natural convection. |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBT3306D is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package per JEDEC MS-012AA, 3.91 mm body width, 1.75 mm max height, 1.27 mm lead pitch. Pin 1 marked by beveled corner or notch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (1OE) | Channel 1 output-enable input | Active-low control: drives 1A↔1B path when low; high-impedance isolation when high. |
| 2 (1A) | Channel 1 port A terminal | Bidirectional signal node - connects to upstream source (e.g., MCU address line) with no polarity constraint. |
| 3 (1B) | Channel 1 port B terminal | Bidirectional signal node - connects to downstream load (e.g., memory chip input) with no polarity constraint. |
| 4 (GND) | Ground reference | Return path for all internal FET sources and control logic; must be low-impedance for stable switching. |
| 5 (VCC) | Positive supply | Power rail for internal gate drive and level translation; bypass capacitor required near pin. |
| 6 (2OE) | Channel 2 output-enable input | Independent active-low control for second switch - enables asynchronous enable/disable of dual channels. |
| 7 (2B) | Channel 2 port B terminal | Second bidirectional node - supports separate data path (e.g., I/O expansion bus segment). |
| 8 (2A) | Channel 2 port A terminal | Second bidirectional node - electrically isolated from Channel 1 except via shared VCC/GND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5-Ω matched on-resistance | Ensures <10 mV drop at 2 mA, preserving logic margins in 3.3 V systems and reducing timing skew between parallel lines. |
| TTL-compatible OE inputs | Eliminates need for pull-up resistors or level translators when driven directly from 74LS/74HC outputs. |
| Sub-nanosecond propagation delay | Supports clean edge integrity in >500 MHz clock domains without added jitter or duty-cycle distortion. |
| Low off-state capacitance (4 pF) | Maintains signal integrity on stubbed or unterminated traces by minimizing capacitive loading during disable. |
| Rail-to-rail analog/digital switching | Allows use beyond digital buses - e.g., analog sensor multiplexing or audio signal gating without DC blocking. |
Applications
| Memory Address Bus Switching | Microcontroller I/O Expansion |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Isolating multiple SRAM chips sharing a common address bus on an 8-bit MCU design. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel bidirectional bus switch enabling time-multiplexed access to two memory banks without contention.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTD3306D | Higher VCC rating (up to 7 V), lower Ron (3.5 Ω typ), but requires ≥2.3 V VIH - not TTL-compatible. | Preferred in 5 V-only systems needing tighter resistance matching; unsuitable for legacy 74LS-driven controls. | Select SN74CBTD3306D only if VIH > 2.3 V is guaranteed and Ron < 4 Ω is critical. |
| 74LVC1G3157DP | Single-channel, 5-pin SC70 package, Ron = 6 Ω, VIH = 1.7 V - smaller footprint but half the channel count. | Suitable for space-constrained single-line gating (e.g., reset or interrupt lines); not a drop-in replacement for dual-bus routing. | Use 74LVC1G3157DP when board area is limiting and only one switch is needed per location. |
Compared with SN74CBT3306D, SN74CBTD3306D offers better on-resistance and voltage margin but sacrifices TTL compatibility, while 74LVC1G3157DP trades channel count and package size for integration density - neither is pin-compatible, requiring layout revision.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating per channel of the SN74CBT3306D?
The SN74CBT3306D supports up to 128 mA continuous channel current per switch, verified under absolute maximum ratings. This allows safe operation driving terminated 50 Ω transmission lines or fan-out to multiple CMOS inputs without thermal derating at ambient ≤85°C. Exceeding this current risks permanent damage due to junction overheating.
Does the SN74CBT3306D require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its OE inputs?
No, the SN74CBT3306D does not require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its OE inputs. Its TTL-compatible thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) allow direct connection to standard logic outputs. However, TI recommends tying unused OE inputs to VCC or GND to prevent floating states that may cause undefined switching behavior.
Can the SN74CBT3306D be used to switch analog signals such as audio or sensor outputs?
Yes, the SN74CBT3306D can switch analog signals including audio and sensor outputs because it uses FET transmission gates with rail-to-rail voltage handling (−0.5 V to 7 V) and no internal clamping diodes. Its 5–7 Ω Ron introduces negligible distortion below 100 kHz, and 4 pF Cio(OFF) limits crosstalk - making it suitable for DC-coupled analog multiplexing where bandwidth and linearity requirements are moderate.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the SN74CBT3306D in its SOIC-8 package?
The SN74CBT3306D in the SOIC-8 (D) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 97°C/W, measured per JESD 51-7. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions. For sustained 128 mA operation, power dissipation remains below 100 mW, resulting in a junction temperature rise of <10°C above ambient - well within safe operating limits.
Is the SN74CBT3306D pin-compatible with other members of the CBT bus switch family?
No, the SN74CBT3306D is not universally pin-compatible across the CBT family. While it shares the same SOIC-8 pinout with SN74CBT3305D (single-channel variant), it differs from SN74CBT3244D (octal non-inverting buffer) and SN74CBT3245D (octal inverting buffer) in both pin function and count. Always verify pin mapping against the specific device's datasheet before substitution.
