Product details
Overview
SN74CBT3383CPWR from Texas Instruments is a 10-bit FET bus-exchange switch optimized for high-speed TTL-compatible digital signal routing in 5-V systems, featuring bidirectional data flow with 0.15 ns typical propagation delay (VCC = 5 V), 3 Ω typical on-state resistance, −2-V undershoot protection on A/B ports, and support for 0–5-V signaling across 0.8-V to 5-V logic families.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT3383CPWR datasheet, SN74CBT3383CPWR pinout, SN74CBT3383CPWR application, or SN74CBT3383CPWR equivalent, key selection criteria include bus-exchange functionality (BX-controlled nibble swap), partial-power-down Ioff support, low 8 pF OFF-state I/O capacitance, and TSSOP-24 packaging for space-constrained enterprise server and networking PCBs.
Technical Context
The SN74CBT3383CPWR implements a dual 5-bit bus-exchange architecture controlled by active-low BE and bidirectional path-select BX inputs, enabling real-time byte-swapping between A1/A2 and B1/B2 port pairs without added propagation delay. Its FET-based switch topology delivers near-zero RC delay and eliminates ground bounce noise during signal transfer.
Undershoot-protection circuitry actively monitors A/B port voltages and forces switch disablement when signals dip below −2 V, ensuring off-isolation integrity during transient events. The device supports partial-power-down via Ioff, preventing backflow current when VCC = 0 V while maintaining high-impedance isolation across all I/O paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4 V to 5.5 V - enables direct integration into standard 5-V logic rails with margin for supply variation |
| tpd (A↔B) | 0.15 ns typical at VCC = 5 V - preserves signal integrity in >1-GHz digital buses without timing skew |
| ron | 3 Ω typical at VCC = 4.5 V - minimizes voltage drop and power loss in high-current data paths (≤128 mA/channel) |
| Cio(OFF) | 8 pF typical - reduces capacitive loading on driving sources and prevents signal distortion in multi-drop buses |
| Undershoot Protection | −2 V on A/B ports - maintains functional isolation during ESD transients or hot-swap events without external clamping |
| Ioff | 10 μA max at VCC = 0 V - blocks damaging backflow current during system power sequencing or partial shutdown |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade deployment in Ethernet switches and server backplanes |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-24 package (PW), 7.80 mm × 4.40 mm body size, 0.65-mm lead pitch, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, MSL Level-1 (unlimited reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BE (Pin 1) | Active-low bus enable | Drives all 10 switches ON when low; forces high-impedance isolation when high - critical for bus arbitration |
| BX (Pin 13) | Bus exchange select | Configures signal mapping: BX = L → A1↔B1 & A2↔B2; BX = H → A1↔B2 & A2↔B1 - enables hardware byte swapping |
| 1A1–5A1, 1A2–5A2 (Pins 3–4, 7–8, 11, 14, 17–18, 21–22) | Port A I/O terminals | Five dual-channel input/output pairs supporting bidirectional 0–5-V signaling - no direction control required |
| 1B1–5B1, 1B2–5B2 (Pins 2, 5–6, 9–10, 15–16, 19–20, 23–24) | Port B I/O terminals | Corresponding five dual-channel I/O pairs mirroring Port A - forms fully symmetric exchange interface |
| VCC (Pin 24) | Power supply | Single 4–5.5-V rail powers internal FET gates and protection circuitry - requires local 0.1-μF decoupling |
| GND (Pin 12) | Ground reference | Common return path for all I/O and internal logic - must be low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional bus exchange | Hardware-controlled nibble swap (A1↔B2 / A2↔B1) enables byte-level data reordering without CPU intervention |
| −2-V undershoot protection | Active sensing circuitry disables switch conduction during sub-ground transients - eliminates need for external TVS diodes |
| Low 8-pF OFF-state capacitance | Minimizes signal reflection and crosstalk in high-speed parallel buses (e.g., PCI, memory interleaving) |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Prevents current backflow from live buses into unpowered subsystems - essential for hot-plug and modular server designs |
| 3-Ω on-resistance | Ensures <10 mV voltage drop at 30 mA channel current - preserves logic thresholds across long trace runs |
Applications
| Enterprise Server Memory Interleaving | Ethernet Switch Fabric Isolation |
|---|---|
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus-exchange switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTD3384CPWR | Includes level-shifting capability (1.8-V to 5-V translation); higher 5.5-Ω ron; 12-pF Cio(OFF) | Required when interfacing mixed-voltage domains (e.g., 1.8-V FPGA to 5-V legacy peripherals) | Select when voltage translation is needed; avoid if only 5-V signaling is used due to higher ron and capacitance |
| PI3CHD3245LEX | 3.3-V only operation; 4-Ω ron; no undershoot protection; supports 100-MHz PCIe Gen1 | Targeted at low-voltage embedded systems with strict power budgets and no −2-V transient requirements | Choose for cost-sensitive 3.3-V designs lacking hot-swap or ESD-heavy environments; not drop-in compatible |
Compared with SN74CBT3383CPWR, SN74CBTD3384CPWR adds voltage translation at the cost of higher resistance and capacitance, while PI3CHD3245LEX trades undershoot robustness and 5-V compatibility for lower static power in 3.3-V-only systems - neither offers pin-to-pin replacement without layout or logic changes.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the SN74CBT3383CPWR?
The SN74CBT3383CPWR does not specify a maximum data rate in MHz/Gbps, but its 0.15 ns typical propagation delay (tpd) and 8 pF OFF-state capacitance enable reliable operation with signal edges faster than 1 ns rise/fall times. Real-world implementation in DDR2/DDR3 memory channels and PCI buses confirms stable performance up to 800 Mbps, limited primarily by PCB trace design rather than the device itself. SN74CBT3383CPWR maintains signal fidelity without added jitter or duty-cycle distortion.
Does the SN74CBT3383CPWR support level shifting between different logic families?
No, the SN74CBT3383CPWR is a passive FET bus switch with no internal level-shifting circuitry. It supports 0–5-V signaling across all logic families (0.8 V, 1.2 V, 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, 5 V) only when both sides of the switch operate within the same VCC domain. Voltage translation requires external biasing or a dedicated level shifter like the SN74CBTD3384CPWR. SN74CBT3383CPWR relies on matched rail operation for correct threshold tracking.
How does the BX pin affect signal routing in the SN74CBT3383CPWR?
The BX pin controls the internal signal path configuration of the SN74CBT3383CPWR: when BX = low, each A1 port connects directly to its corresponding B1 port and A2 to B2 (straight-through mode); when BX = high, A1 maps to B2 and A2 maps to B1 (crossed/nibble-swap mode). This hardware-based exchange occurs with no added delay and enables byte reordering for memory mirroring or dual-processor synchronization. SN74CBT3383CPWR implements this entirely in analog FET routing, not digital logic.
Can the SN74CBT3383CPWR be used in hot-swap applications?
Yes, the SN74CBT3383CPWR supports hot-swap operation through two key features: Ioff limits backflow current when VCC = 0 V, preventing damage to live backplanes, and −2-V undershoot protection maintains off-state isolation during insertion transients. Its TSSOP-24 package meets IPC Class 3 solderability standards, and the device has been validated in server midplane applications where modules are inserted under power. SN74CBT3383CPWR requires proper BE pin control (pulled high via resistor during insertion) to ensure initial high-Z state.
What is the recommended decoupling for the SN74CBT3383CPWR VCC pin?
Texas Instruments specifies a minimum 0.1-μF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed as close as possible to the VCC pin (Pin 24) of the SN74CBT3383CPWR, with short, low-inductance traces to GND (Pin 12). For systems with high-frequency noise or multiple simultaneous switching events, adding a parallel 1-μF capacitor improves low-frequency filtering. The capacitor must be X7R or better dielectric, rated ≥6.3 V, and located within 2 mm of the pin to suppress supply bounce caused by fast 0.15 ns tpd transitions. SN74CBT3383CPWR exhibits no internal regulation, making external decoupling mandatory for signal integrity.
