Product details
Overview
SN74CBT3383PWR from Texas Instruments is a 10-bit TTL-compatible bus-exchange switch in TSSOP-24 package, featuring bidirectional signal flow, 5 Ω typical on-resistance, <1 ns propagation delay, and operation across 4.5 V–5.5 V supply. It enables byte-swapping between A/B signal pairs in enterprise server memory interconnects and high-speed Ethernet switch backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT3383PWR datasheet, SN74CBT3383PWR pinout, SN74CBT3383PWR application, or SN74CBT3383PWR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200 MHz bandwidth capability, low 6 pF off-state capacitance, BE/BX dual-control logic for bus enable and nibble exchange, and compatibility with both 3.3-V and 5-V CMOS/TTL drivers.
Technical Context
The SN74CBT3383PWR implements a dual-mode 10-bit analog bus switch: in standard mode (BX = low), it routes 1A1↔1B1, 1A2↔1B2, ..., 5A2↔5B2; in exchange mode (BX = high), it cross-connects 1A1↔1B2, 1A2↔1B1, etc., enabling hardware-level byte swapping without clocking or logic overhead. Its FET-based architecture delivers near-zero propagation delay and flat rON over voltage and temperature.
Control is fully static: BE (active-low) enables/disables all switches simultaneously, while BX selects routing topology. The device draws only 50 µA max ICC and supports 128 mA per channel, with ESD ratings of ±3000 V HBM and ±1000 V CDM - suitable for hot-swap-capable backplane interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures interoperability with legacy 5-V TTL and mixed-voltage 3.3-V/5-V systems |
| rON (Typ) | 5 Ω - minimizes voltage drop and signal distortion at 128 mA channel current |
| Cio(OFF) | 6 pF - reduces capacitive loading on high-speed buses, preserving signal integrity up to 200 MHz |
| tpd (Max) | 1.5 ns - enables sub-nanosecond timing margins in DDR memory buffer and switch fabric designs |
| Propagation Delay Variation | <0.25 ns across channels - critical for skew-sensitive parallel bus applications like PCI-X and RapidIO |
| Input Compatibility | TTL- and 5-V/3.3-V CMOS-compatible - eliminates level-shifter requirements in multi-supply systems |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±3000 V - meets industrial-grade handling robustness without external protection diodes |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-24 package (7.80 mm × 4.40 mm, 1.2 mm max height), JEDEC MO-153 compliant, with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin 1 index located at top-left corner with beveled edge marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (BE) | Active-low bus enable | Assert low to activate all 10 switch paths; high-Z state isolates A/B sides completely |
| 13 (BX) | Bus exchange select | High enables nibble-swapped routing (e.g., 1A1 ↔ 1B2); low enables direct A↔B mapping |
| 2–5, 6–9, 10–11, 14–15, 16–19, 20–23 | Bidirectional I/O pairs (1A1/1B1 through 5A2/5B2) | Each pair forms a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) analog path; no directionality or power sequencing required |
| 12 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all switching currents; must be low-impedance connection to minimize ground bounce |
| 24 (VCC) | Power supply | Single 5-V rail powers all internal circuitry and switch FETs; requires local 0.1-μF ceramic decoupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 10-bit bus exchange function | Hardware-selectable byte swap via BX pin - eliminates FPGA logic or software overhead in memory mirroring |
| Flat on-resistance profile | rON = 5 Ω typical across 0–5 V input range - ensures consistent signal attenuation and timing across full logic swing |
| Bidirectional zero-delay switching | Signal flows equally well A→B or B→A with identical tpd - essential for bidirectional protocols like SMBus and JTAG daisy chains |
| Low off-state capacitance | Cio(OFF) = 6 pF - prevents crosstalk and maintains >200 MHz bandwidth when adjacent lines are active |
| Hot-swap ready control interface | BE and BX accept 0.8 V / 2.0 V logic thresholds - compatible with powered-backplane insertion detection circuits |
Applications
| Enterprise Server Memory Interconnect | Ethernet Switch Fabric |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus-switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTD3383PWR | Includes 3.3-V tolerant inputs (VIH = 2.0 V max), higher ICC (100 µA), same rON and pinout | Required where host controller operates at 3.3 V but bus runs at 5 V; adds level translation capability | Select when interfacing 3.3-V microcontrollers to 5-V legacy peripherals without external level shifters |
| SN74LVC1G3157DCKR | Single-channel SPDT, 5-V only, 6 Ω rON, 5.5 pF Cio(OFF), SC70-6 package | Not pin-compatible; used for discrete signal routing rather than parallel bus exchange | Choose for low-channel-count designs needing minimal footprint; unsuitable for 10-bit simultaneous switching |
Compared with SN74CBTD3383PWR, the SN74CBT3383PWR offers lower power and simpler 5-V-only interface; compared with SN74LVC1G3157DCKR, it provides integrated 10-bit coordination and hardware byte-swap - making it irreplaceable in parallel bus reconfiguration where channel correlation and skew control are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the SN74CBT3383PWR?
The SN74CBT3383PWR is characterized for operation up to 200 MHz, verified under CL = 50 pF load conditions. Its 5 Ω typical on-resistance and 6 pF off-state capacitance jointly enable this bandwidth; actual system frequency may vary based on PCB trace impedance, termination, and driver strength. The SN74CBT3383PWR datasheet specifies tpd ≤ 1.5 ns, confirming suitability for sub-5 ns clock domains.
Does the SN74CBT3383PWR require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on BE or BX pins?
No, the SN74CBT3383PWR has internally biased inputs meeting TTL-compatible thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V), so BE and BX can be driven directly from standard 5-V or 3.3-V CMOS outputs without external biasing. However, if left floating, BE defaults to high (switches disabled) and BX defaults to low (direct routing); intentional use requires active driving per functional table.
Can the SN74CBT3383PWR be used in hot-swap applications?
Yes - the SN74CBT3383PWR supports hot-swap operation due to its rail-to-rail input tolerance (–0.5 V to 7 V), ±3000 V HBM ESD rating, and ability to remain in high-impedance state (BE = high) during power ramp-up. Its 50 µA max ICC and absence of power-on reset circuitry allow safe insertion into live backplanes, provided VCC sequencing complies with recommended 4.5–5.5 V range.
How does the bus exchange (BX) function affect signal timing in the SN74CBT3383PWR?
The BX pin changes routing topology but introduces no additional timing penalty: propagation delay remains ≤1.5 ns in both direct (BX = low) and exchanged (BX = high) modes. This is confirmed by identical tpd specs in Table 1 of the SN74CBT3383PWR datasheet - because the internal FET paths are symmetric and length-matched, byte swapping occurs with zero added skew between paired signals like 1A1/1B2.
Is the SN74CBT3383PWR pin-compatible with other packages in the SN74CBT3383 family?
Yes - all SN74CBT3383 variants (DB, DBQ, DW, PW, JT, W) share identical 24-pin functional pinout per Figure 3 in the SN74CBT3383PWR datasheet. The SN74CBT3383PWR uses TSSOP-24 (PW), matching pin positions for BE, BX, VCC, GND, and all I/O pairs. Mechanical dimensions differ, but PCB layout can reuse footprint with minor land pattern adjustments for pitch and body size.
