Product details
Overview
SN74CBT3306PW 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 digital buses such as address/data lines in microcontroller peripherals and memory expansion interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT3306PW datasheet, SN74CBT3306PW pinout, SN74CBT3306PW application, or SN74CBT3306PW equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance matching (5–7 Ω), sub-1 ns propagation delay (tpd = 0.25 ns at 5 V), OE-controlled isolation, and TSSOP-8 thermal performance (θJA = 149°C/W).
Technical Context
The SN74CBT3306PW implements two independent transmission-gate-based FET switches, each controlled by a dedicated OE input that disconnects the A–B path when high. Its architecture avoids latch-up and supports hot-swap capability due to rail-to-rail I/O voltage tolerance (−0.5 V to 7 V) and no internal level-shifting circuitry.
Each switch operates with zero static power draw in both on and off states (ICC = 3 μA max), and exhibits low capacitive loading-Cio(OFF) = 4 pF and Ci = 3 pF-making it suitable for high-speed, low-noise signal gating in 5-V TTL and mixed-voltage systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (ron) | 5–7 Ω typical at 30–64 mA; ensures minimal voltage drop (<350 mV) and signal integrity in 5-V digital buses. |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.25 ns at VCC = 5 V; supports >1 GHz signal switching without timing skew in parallel data paths. |
| Supply voltage range (VCC) | 4–5.5 V; compatible with standard 5-V logic rails and tolerant of transient overvoltage up to 7 V. |
| Input voltage range (VI) | −0.5 V to 7 V; enables safe interfacing with partially powered or hot-plugged subsystems. |
| Off-state capacitance (Cio) | 4 pF; limits crosstalk and maintains signal rise/fall times in high-density PCB layouts. |
| Operating temperature | −40°C to 85°C; qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and peripheral interface applications. |
| Package thermal impedance (θJA) | 149°C/W (TSSOP-8); requires modest copper area for thermal management in continuous 128-mA channel operation. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-8 package (PW), 3.0 mm × 4.4 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch, 1.2 mm max height, JEDEC MO-153 compliant. Pin 1 marked with dot; exposed pad not present.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (1OE) | Channel 1 output-enable input | Active-low control: drives 1A–1B path to high-impedance state when logic high. |
| 2 (1A) | Channel 1 input/output terminal A | Bidirectional port; connects to upstream logic (e.g., MCU address line) with no direction pin required. |
| 3 (1B) | Channel 1 input/output terminal B | Bidirectional port; connects to downstream load (e.g., SRAM data bus) with symmetrical electrical behavior. |
| 4 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return for all switch channels and control logic; must be low-inductance connection for noise immunity. |
| 5 (VCC) | Positive supply | Power rail for FET gate drive and internal logic; bypassing with 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor near pin is mandatory. |
| 6 (2OE) | Channel 2 output-enable input | Independent active-low enable for second switch; allows asynchronous gating of separate signal pairs. |
| 7 (2B) | Channel 2 input/output terminal B | Second bidirectional port; electrically isolated from Channel 1 except via shared VCC/GND. |
| 8 (2A) | Channel 2 input/output terminal A | Second bidirectional port; supports identical timing and resistance specs as Channel 1. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5-Ω low on-resistance | Minimizes insertion loss and voltage droop in 5-V digital signal paths, preserving logic margins across 128-mA peak current. |
| TTL-compatible OE inputs | Accepts standard 5-V TTL logic thresholds (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) without external level shifters or pull-ups. |
| Zero static power consumption | ICC ≤ 3 μA ensures negligible quiescent current in always-on systems, critical for battery-backed or energy-sensitive designs. |
| Rail-to-rail I/O voltage support | Withstands −0.5 V to 7 V on all pins, enabling safe operation during power sequencing, hot insertion, or fault conditions. |
| Sub-nanosecond propagation delay | tpd = 0.25 ns at 5 V allows use in high-speed parallel interfaces (e.g., ISA, LPC, or legacy PCI add-in cards) without timing budget impact. |
Applications
| Memory Expansion Interface | Microcontroller Peripheral Multiplexing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Isolating address/data lines between a microcontroller and multiple SRAM or EPROM devices sharing a common bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel bidirectional bus switch enabling time-multiplexed access to discrete memory banks without contention. Use Value: 5-Ω ron and 0.25 ns tpd preserve signal edge integrity across 8-bit/16-bit parallel buses operating up to 100 MHz. |
Use Scenario: Routing UART, SPI, or GPIO signals between a main SoC and optional daughterboard peripherals (e.g., sensors, displays). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Signal-level multiplexer controlled by firmware to enable/disable physical connections dynamically. Use Value: Independent OE pins allow per-channel enable timing synchronized to peripheral initialization sequences, avoiding bus glitches. |
| Legacy Bus Isolation | Hot-Swappable I/O Module |
Use Scenario: Electrically isolating ISA or LPC bus segments to prevent fault propagation between host and expansion cards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fail-safe bus switch that disconnects upon OE assertion, eliminating DC coupling between domains. Use Value: −0.5 V to 7 V I/O rating and 4 pF Cio(OFF) ensure no signal leakage or capacitive coupling during disabled state. |
Use Scenario: Enabling safe insertion/removal of I/O modules in industrial PLC backplanes while main controller remains powered. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Hot-swap protection device that gates power and signal paths under firmware control before mechanical engagement. Use Value: No latch-up risk and rail-to-rail tolerance allow operation during partial power-up; OE-driven isolation prevents backfeeding. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTD3306PW | Includes bus-hold circuitry on A/B ports; higher ICC (10 μA); same ron and tpd. | Eliminates external pull-up resistors on floating bus lines; increases static power slightly. | Select when bus lines may float during OE disable and hold functionality is required. |
| 74LVC2G66DP | Lower VCC range (1.65–5.5 V); higher ron (10 Ω typ); smaller XSON-8 package (2.0 × 1.25 mm). | Supports 3.3-V and mixed-voltage systems; less suitable for legacy 5-V-only designs due to higher on-resistance. | Select for space-constrained 3.3-V applications where 5-Ω ron is not mandatory. |
Compared with SN74CBT3306PW, SN74CBTD3306PW adds bus-hold but increases quiescent current, while 74LVC2G66DP reduces footprint and voltage range at the cost of on-resistance and 5-V optimization-making SN74CBT3306PW optimal for industrial 5-V bus isolation requiring minimal insertion loss.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating per channel of the SN74CBT3306PW?
The SN74CBT3306PW supports a continuous channel current of 128 mA per switch. This rating is defined under absolute maximum conditions and ensures reliable conduction without thermal runaway when used within recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4–5.5 V, TA = −40°C to 85°C). Exceeding this current may degrade on-resistance stability or accelerate wear-out.
Does the SN74CBT3306PW require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its A/B ports?
No, the SN74CBT3306PW does not integrate bus-hold or weak termination circuitry, so external pull-up or pull-down resistors are required only if signal lines must maintain a defined logic state during OE-disabled periods. The device itself presents high-impedance (Hi-Z) when disabled, with Cio(OFF) = 4 pF ensuring minimal capacitive loading.
Can the SN74CBT3306PW operate with a 3.3-V supply voltage?
No-the SN74CBT3306PW is specified only for VCC = 4–5.5 V per the recommended operating conditions. At 3.3 V, the device may fail to fully turn on the FET switches, resulting in elevated on-resistance (>15 Ω), increased propagation delay, and potential logic threshold violations. For 3.3-V systems, consider 74LVC2G66DP instead.
What is the thermal performance difference between the SN74CBT3306PW and the SOIC-packaged SN74CBT3306D?
The SN74CBT3306PW (TSSOP-8) has a junction-to-ambient thermal impedance (θJA) of 149°C/W, compared to 97°C/W for the SOIC-8 (D) package. This means the TSSOP version runs hotter under identical power dissipation-requiring more PCB copper area or lower ambient temperatures to maintain safe junction temperatures during sustained 128-mA operation.
Is the SN74CBT3306PW pin-compatible with other members of the SN74CBT3306 family?
Yes-the SN74CBT3306PW shares identical pinout and function mapping with SN74CBT3306D, SN74CBT3306DR, and SN74CBT3306PWR. All variants use the same 8-pin topology (1OE, 1A, 1B, GND, VCC, 2OE, 2B, 2A), enabling direct substitution across SOIC and TSSOP packages without layout changes.
