Product details
Overview
SN74CBT3383PWRG4 from Texas Instruments is a 10-bit TTL-compatible bus-exchange switch in TSSOP-24 package, operating from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, with typical on-resistance of 5 Ω, <1 ns propagation delay, and 6 pF off-state I/O capacitance. It enables bidirectional byte-swapping between A/B signal pairs in enterprise server backplanes and Ethernet switch data paths.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT3383PWRG4 datasheet, SN74CBT3383PWRG4 pinout, SN74CBT3383PWRG4 application, or SN74CBT3383PWRG4 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated pin functions, confirmed bus-exchange timing behavior, and real-world implementation constraints for high-speed digital interconnect design.
Technical Context
The SN74CBT3383PWRG4 implements a dual-mode 10-bit analog bus switch: as a standard 10-channel bidirectional switch when BX = low, or as a 5-bit nibble-exchanger (swapping 1A1↔1B2, 1A2↔1B1, etc.) when BX = high. BE is active-low enable controlling all channels simultaneously.
Its CMOS-TTL compatible control inputs accept both 3.3-V and 5-V logic levels, while its low rON (5 Ω typ) and near-zero propagation delay (<1 ns) preserve signal integrity up to 200 MHz. The device draws ≤50 µA ICC and supports 128 mA per channel continuous current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with legacy 5-V TTL systems and mixed-voltage board designs. |
| rON (Typ) | 5 Ω - Minimizes voltage drop and signal distortion across switched data lines at full load. |
| tpd (Max) | 1.5 ns - Enables reliable operation in high-speed parallel bus applications up to 200 MHz. |
| Cio(OFF) | 6 pF - Reduces capacitive loading on inactive buses, preventing crosstalk and timing skew. |
| ICC (Max) | 50 µA - Supports low-static-power system architectures without compromising switching performance. |
| Channel Current | 128 mA - Allows direct connection to standard TTL/CMOS drivers without external buffering. |
| ESD Rating | ±3000 V HBM - Meets industrial-grade handling requirements without additional protection circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-24 package (7.80 mm × 4.40 mm body, 1.2 mm max height), lead finish NIPDAU, moisture sensitivity level MSL-1, RoHS compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | BE | Active-low global enable - All 10 channels conduct only when BE = low. |
| 13 | BX | Bus exchange select - High enables A/B pair swapping (e.g., 1A1 ↔ 1B2); low enables straight-through mode. |
| 2–5, 6–9, 10–11, 14–15, 16–19, 20–23 | 1A1–1B2, 2A1–2B2, 3A1–3B2, 4A1–4B2, 5A1–5B2 | Bidirectional transceiver I/Os - Each pair forms an independent analog switch path with no directionality constraint. |
| 12 | GND | Ground reference - Required for stable switching threshold and noise immunity; must be low-impedance. |
| 24 | VCC | Power supply - Decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required adjacent to pin for high-frequency stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 10-bit bus exchange | Enables hardware-accelerated byte swapping in memory-mapped I/O or PCI-like interconnects without FPGA logic. |
| 5 Ω typical rON | Preserves rise/fall times and reduces insertion loss in 50-Ω terminated parallel buses. |
| Sub-1 ns propagation delay | Eliminates timing budget penalties in synchronous backplane designs with tight setup/hold windows. |
| 6 pF off-state capacitance | Minimizes capacitive coupling between active and idle data lanes in dense routing environments. |
| TTL/CMOS input compatibility | Accepts 3.3-V or 5-V control signals directly-no level-shifting required for mixed-voltage system integration. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus-switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the SN74CBT3383PWRG4?
The SN74CBT3383PWRG4 is characterized for operation up to 200 MHz, based on measured propagation delay (<1.5 ns) and low 6 pF off-state capacitance. Real-world performance depends on PCB layout, trace impedance, and load capacitance; TI recommends limiting total node capacitance to ≤50 pF for full-speed operation. SN74CBT3383PWRG4 maintains signal fidelity without added jitter or ground bounce in properly designed 5-V systems.
Does the SN74CBT3383PWRG4 support 3.3-V logic-level control inputs?
Yes, the SN74CBT3383PWRG4 accepts 3.3-V CMOS logic levels on BE and BX pins while operating from a 4.5–5.5 V VCC supply. Its VIH threshold is 2.0 V min and VIL is 0.8 V max, ensuring robust recognition of 3.3-V high/low states. This eliminates external level shifters in mixed-voltage designs. SN74CBT3383PWRG4 maintains full functionality and timing specs under these conditions.
How does the bus-exchange function work on the SN74CBT3383PWRG4?
When BX = high and BE = low, the SN74CBT3383PWRG4 swaps signal pairs: 1A1 connects to 1B2, 1A2 to 1B1, 2A1 to 2B2, 2A2 to 2B1, and so on across all five nibbles. This enables hardware byte reversal without software intervention. SN74CBT3383PWRG4 performs this exchange with identical on-resistance and delay as straight-through mode-no timing penalty or signal degradation occurs.
What decoupling capacitance is recommended for the SN74CBT3383PWRG4 VCC pin?
A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed within 2 mm of the SN74CBT3383PWRG4 VCC pin (pin 24) is mandatory for stable high-speed operation. TI also recommends adding a 1 µF bulk capacitor nearby to suppress lower-frequency supply noise. Both capacitors must connect to the same low-inductance ground plane as the GND pin (pin 12). SN74CBT3383PWRG4 exhibits increased jitter and potential switching failure if decoupling is omitted or misplaced.
Is the SN74CBT3383PWRG4 pin-compatible with other packages in the same family?
Yes, the SN74CBT3383PWRG4 shares identical pinout and function mapping with all SN74CBT3383 variants-including DB, DBQ, DW, and PW packages. Signal names (BE, BX, 1A1–5B2), power (VCC), and ground (GND) locations are consistent across TSSOP, SSOP, and SOIC footprints. SN74CBT3383PWRG4 allows direct PCB footprint reuse when migrating between package types for thermal or density optimization.
