Product details
Overview
SN74CBT3306DRG4 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 over −40°C to 85°C. It enables bidirectional signal routing in low-voltage digital systems such as address/data bus isolation in microcontroller peripherals and memory expansion interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT3306DRG4 datasheet, SN74CBT3306DRG4 pinout, SN74CBT3306DRG4 application, or SN74CBT3306DRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance matching (5–7 Ω), fast enable/disable timing (ten = 1.8 ns, tdis = 1 ns at VCC = 5 V), low input capacitance (3 pF), and TSSOP-8 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74CBT3306DRG4 implements two independent transmission-gate-based FET switches controlled by separate OE inputs; each switch connects A and B ports when OE is low and isolates them when OE is high. Its architecture avoids latch-up and supports rail-to-rail analog/digital signal pass-through up to VCC = 5.5 V.
It operates without internal level-shifting circuitry-switch conduction is governed solely by gate drive relative to VCC and GND-making it suitable for unidirectional or bidirectional data paths where voltage translation is not required. The device draws only 3 μA ICC at VCC = 5.5 V and exhibits minimal charge injection (<1 pC typical) due to matched FET geometry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (ron) | 5–7 Ω at VCC = 4.5 V, II = 30 mA - ensures <150 mV voltage drop under 30 mA load, preserving logic margin in 3.3-V/5-V systems. |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.25 ns at VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF - enables sub-nanosecond signal routing critical for high-speed parallel bus applications. |
| Enable time (ten) | 1.8 ns at VCC = 5 V - allows rapid bus arbitration and dynamic channel switching in real-time peripheral multiplexing. |
| Disable time (tdis) | 1 ns at VCC = 5 V - minimizes glitch risk during hot-swap or power sequencing transitions. |
| Input capacitance (Ci) | 3 pF per control input - reduces loading on upstream drivers and maintains signal integrity in fan-out-constrained designs. |
| Supply voltage range | 4 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5-V TTL and mixed 3.3-V/5-V system backplanes via level-shifter-free interface. |
| Operating temperature | −40°C to 85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and instrumentation environments. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-8 package (PW), 3.0 mm × 4.4 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch, 1.2 mm max height, RoHS-compliant matte tin lead finish, MSL Level 1 (unlimited floor life).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE1) | Channel 1 output-enable control | Active-low logic input; drives Channel 1 (1A ↔ 1B) into high-impedance state when high. |
| 2 (1A) | Channel 1 port A terminal | Bidirectional signal node; electrically identical to 1B when OE1 = L; no internal directionality. |
| 3 (1B) | Channel 1 port B terminal | Bidirectional signal node; forms low-resistance path with 1A when OE1 = L. |
| 4 (GND) | Power ground reference | Return path for all internal FET sources and bias networks; must be low-inductance connection. |
| 5 (VCC) | Positive supply rail | Supplies gate drive and internal bias; decoupling capacitor (0.1 μF) required within 5 mm of this pin. |
| 6 (OE2) | Channel 2 output-enable control | Independent active-low control for Channel 2 (2A ↔ 2B); enables asynchronous switching of dual buses. |
| 7 (2B) | Channel 2 port B terminal | Bidirectional node; isolated from 2A when OE2 = H; matches 1B electrical characteristics. |
| 8 (2A) | Channel 2 port A terminal | Bidirectional node; functionally symmetric to 2B; supports identical current and timing specs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5-Ω matched on-resistance | Ensures uniform signal attenuation across both channels and minimizes skew between parallel data lines. |
| TTL-compatible control inputs | Accepts standard 5-V TTL logic thresholds (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) without external level shifters. |
| Sub-2-ns enable/disable timing | Supports dynamic bus reconfiguration at >500 MHz effective switching rates in burst-mode protocols. |
| Low 3-pF input capacitance | Reduces capacitive loading on microcontroller GPIOs or FPGA I/O banks driving OE signals. |
| Rail-to-rail analog/digital pass-through | Transmits signals from GND to VCC without clipping-enabling use in mixed-signal test fixtures and sensor multiplexing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual FET bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTD3306PWR | Includes bus-hold circuitry on A/B ports; higher ICC (10 μA typical); same ron (5–7 Ω) and timing. | Required where floating-bus immunity is critical (e.g., unpopulated slots in modular backplanes). | Select SN74CBTD3306PWR only if bus-hold functionality is explicitly needed; otherwise SN74CBT3306DRG4 offers lower quiescent current. |
| 74LVC2G66DP,125 | Single-channel; 5.5-Ω ron; 3.3-V only supply (1.65–5.5 V); smaller XSON-8 (2.1 × 1.6 mm) package. | Suitable for space-constrained 3.3-V-only designs requiring one switch channel instead of two. | Use 74LVC2G66DP,125 when footprint reduction or 3.3-V native operation outweighs need for dual-channel integration. |
Compared with SN74CBTD3306PWR and 74LVC2G66DP,125, the SN74CBT3306DRG4 delivers optimal balance of dual-channel density, 5-V compatibility, ultra-low ICC (3 μA), and industry-standard TSSOP-8 layout-making it preferred for industrial microcontroller bus management where bus-hold is unnecessary and supply flexibility matters.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating for each switch channel in the SN74CBT3306DRG4?
The SN74CBT3306DRG4 supports a continuous channel current of 128 mA per switch, verified under absolute maximum ratings. This rating applies to steady-state DC conduction through either 1A–1B or 2A–2B path when enabled. Derating is required above 70°C ambient per θJA = 149°C/W for the TSSOP-8 package.
Does the SN74CBT3306DRG4 support bidirectional signal flow, and is direction controlled by external logic?
Yes, the SN74CBT3306DRG4 supports fully bidirectional signal flow on both channels-neither A nor B port is designated as input or output. Direction is determined entirely by external signal source/sink configuration; the device imposes no inherent directionality. Control is limited to enable/disable via OE1 and OE2 pins.
Can the SN74CBT3306DRG4 operate reliably at 3.3 V supply voltage?
No-the SN74CBT3306DRG4 is specified only for VCC = 4 V to 5.5 V per recommended operating conditions. At 3.3 V, the on-resistance rises significantly (>15 Ω), propagation delay degrades, and TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) may not be met reliably. Use 74LVC2G66 or SN74CB3Q3245 for 3.3-V operation.
What is the thermal performance of the SN74CBT3306DRG4 in its TSSOP-8 package?
The SN74CBT3306DRG4 in TSSOP-8 (PW) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal impedance (θJA) of 149°C/W, measured per JESD 51-7. With 3 μA ICC and <1 mW dynamic power under typical switching, self-heating is negligible at room temperature-but PCB copper area and airflow must be considered for sustained 128 mA loads near 85°C ambient.
Is the SN74CBT3306DRG4 pin-compatible with other members of the SN74CBT3306 family?
Yes-the SN74CBT3306DRG4 shares identical pinout, electrical behavior, and functional logic with SN74CBT3306D, SN74CBT3306DR, SN74CBT3306PW, and SN74CBT3306PWR. All variants use the same die and differ only in packaging, marking, and tape/reel configuration; no PCB redesign is needed when migrating between them.
