Product details
Overview
SN74CBT3384DWR from Texas Instruments is a 10-bit TTL-compatible bus crossbar switch with dual 5-bit independent switching paths, 5 Ω typical on-resistance, <0.25 ns propagation delay, and operation over 0°C to 70°C. It enables high-speed bidirectional data routing in memory expansion, FPGA I/O bridging, and logic-level translation applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT3384DWR datasheet, SN74CBT3384DWR pinout, SN74CBT3384DWR application, or SN74CBT3384DWR equivalent, key selection criteria include OE-controlled isolation timing (1–8.5 ns enable/disable), low-capacitance switching (6 pF off-state), and compatibility with 5-V TTL signaling levels without level-shifting circuitry.
Technical Context
The SN74CBT3384DWR implements two independent 5-bit bidirectional analog/digital switches controlled by separate OE1 and OE2 inputs. Each switch path exhibits symmetrical conduction with no directionality-signals pass equally from A-to-B or B-to-A when enabled.
Its architecture avoids active logic gates; instead, it uses transmission-gate topology with NMOS-only pass transistors biased for low RON and minimal charge injection. This enables true rail-to-rail analog signal switching while maintaining TTL-compatible control thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VVIH = 2 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.75 V to 5.25 V - Ensures stable operation within standard 5-V TTL supply tolerance. |
| RON (typ) | 5 Ω - Enables sub-1-ns propagation delay with 50-pF load; preserves signal integrity in high-speed buses. |
| tpd | 0.25 ns (max) - Measured A↔B; supports >1 GHz effective switching bandwidth in low-capacitance paths. |
| ten/tdis | 1 ns to 8.5 ns - OE-controlled turn-on/turn-off latency determines minimum bus arbitration window. |
| Cio(OFF) | 6 pF - Limits crosstalk and loading when adjacent channels are disabled. |
| IO (continuous) | 128 mA - Supports driving multiple TTL loads or short PCB traces without derating. |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to 70°C - Qualified for commercial-grade embedded systems and industrial control panels. |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBT3384DWR is packaged in a 24-pin SOIC (DW package), 7.5 mm × 15.4 mm body, 1.27 mm pitch, with standard JEDEC MS-013AC footprint. Pin 12 is GND; Pin 13 is VCC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OE1 | Output-enable control for bits A1–A5 ↔ B1–B5 | Active-low; asserts low-impedance path only when OE1 = L; decouples timing domains between port groups. |
| OE2 | Output-enable control for bits A6–A10 ↔ B6–B10 | Independent of OE1; enables asymmetric bus partitioning (e.g., CPU address vs. data lanes). |
| A1–A10 | Port A input/output terminals | Bidirectional; no internal pull-ups/downs; requires external termination if used as open-drain interface. |
| B1–B10 | Port B input/output terminals | Electrically identical to A-side; supports hot-swap insertion when both OEs are high (Z-state isolation). |
| VCC | Positive supply | Must be bypassed with ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor near Pin 13 to suppress switching noise. |
| GND | Ground reference | Shared return for all signal paths; layout must minimize inductance to avoid ground bounce during simultaneous switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5-Ω low on-resistance | Minimizes voltage drop and timing skew across 10-bit parallel paths at 100+ MHz data rates. |
| Dual independent OE controls | Allows selective activation of upper/lower 5-bit segments-critical for partial bus width adaptation in microcontroller interfaces. |
| TTL-compatible I/O levels | Eliminates need for external level shifters when interfacing with legacy 5-V logic families (e.g., 74LS, 74ALS). |
| 6-pF off-state capacitance | Reduces capacitive loading on inactive channels, preserving signal rise/fall times in dense multi-channel layouts. |
| 0.25-ns propagation delay | Enables cycle-accurate data routing in synchronous bus architectures without added clock skew compensation. |
Applications
| Memory Expansion Interface | FPGA I/O Bridging |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTD3384DWR | Includes bus-hold circuitry on all I/O pins; higher ICC (200 µA typ); same RON, tpd, and pinout. | Preferred where floating inputs must be avoided without external pull resistors (e.g., unconnected test points). | Select SN74CBTD3384DWR only if bus-hold functionality is required; otherwise SN74CBT3384DWR offers lower quiescent power. |
| QS3384PAG | Functionally equivalent per datasheet; same 5-Ω RON, 0.25-ns tpd, and dual-OE architecture; offered in TSSOP-24 (PW package). | Used in space-constrained designs requiring thinner profile (1.2 mm max height vs. DW's 2.65 mm). | Choose QS3384PAG for height-sensitive applications; SN74CBT3384DWR preferred for thermal performance (1.6 W PD vs. 0.7 W). |
Compared with SN74CBTD3384DWR and QS3384PAG, the SN74CBT3384DWR delivers optimal balance of low static power (50 µA ICC), proven thermal dissipation in SOIC, and direct compatibility with legacy 5-V board designs-making it the default choice for cost-sensitive, thermally stable commercial systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating per channel for SN74CBT3384DWR?
The SN74CBT3384DWR supports up to 128 mA continuous channel current per switched path, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating applies under steady-state conditions with proper PCB thermal relief and ambient temperature ≤55°C. Exceeding this limit risks junction overheating and long-term reliability degradation. The SN74CBT3384DWR does not include internal current limiting, so external design must ensure compliance.
Does SN74CBT3384DWR require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its I/O pins?
No, the SN74CBT3384DWR has no internal bus-hold or weak pull resistors. Its A and B pins are purely passive transmission gates with high-impedance states when disabled. External pull resistors are required only if signal lines must be held to defined logic states during OE-high isolation-designers must add them based on system noise immunity requirements. The SN74CBT3384DWR itself imposes no such requirement.
Can SN74CBT3384DWR operate with a 3.3-V supply?
No, the SN74CBT3384DWR is specified only for 4.75 V to 5.25 V VCC operation per its Recommended Operating Conditions. Applying 3.3 V violates the minimum supply requirement and results in undefined switching behavior, elevated RON, and potential failure to meet TTL input thresholds. For 3.3-V systems, consider TI's SN74CB3Q3384 or compatible low-voltage alternatives-not the SN74CBT3384DWR.
What is the function of the dual OE inputs (OE1 and OE2) on SN74CBT3384DWR?
The dual OE inputs on SN74CBT3384DWR independently control two 5-bit switch groups: OE1 enables/disables A1–A5 ↔ B1–B5, and OE2 controls A6–A10 ↔ B6–B10. This allows segmented bus management-for example, isolating address lines (A1–A5) from data lines (A6–A10) during memory access cycles. The SN74CBT3384DWR leverages this to reduce timing conflicts in multi-function parallel interfaces.
Is SN74CBT3384DWR suitable for analog signal switching applications?
Yes-the SN74CBT3384DWR uses NMOS-only transmission gates with rail-to-rail analog capability, supporting DC-coupled signals up to its 128-mA current and 5-V supply limits. Its 5-Ω RON and 6-pF off-capacitance make it viable for audio-frequency and low-MHz analog routing, provided signal swing remains within VCC–GND. However, the SN74CBT3384DWR is not characterized for THD or bandwidth beyond digital switching specs, so verify performance empirically for precision analog use.
