Product details
Overview
SN74CBT3861DBQRG4 from Texas Instruments is a 10-bit FET bus switch IC with 5 Ω typical on-state resistance, TTL-compatible control inputs (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V), and operation across –40°C to 85°C. It enables bidirectional signal routing between two logic ports (A1–A10 ↔ B1–B10) under single OE control, used in high-speed data path isolation for industrial backplanes and memory expansion interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT3861DBQRG4 datasheet, SN74CBT3861DBQRG4 pinout, SN74CBT3861DBQRG4 application, or SN74CBT3861DBQRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 5 Ω ron at 30 mA, sub-1 ns propagation delay (tpd = 0.25 ns @ VCC = 5 V), 5 pF off-state capacitance (Cio(OFF)), and SSOP-24 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements a single-pole, 10-throw analog switch architecture using NMOS pass transistors with integrated level-shifting circuitry to ensure TTL-compatible input thresholds. Its OE-controlled switching operates without internal latching or direction logic - state is purely combinatorial: OE = L connects A↔B; OE = H isolates both ports into high-Z.
Designed for hot-swap and live-insertion applications, it features latch-up immunity exceeding 250 mA per JESD 17, absolute maximum VI/VO range of –0.5 V to 7 V, and low ICC (3 µA max) enabling use in low-power system management buses. No internal ESD protection diodes are present beyond standard process-level structures.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (ron) | 5 Ω typical at VCC = 4.5 V, II = 30 mA - ensures minimal voltage drop (<150 mV) and signal integrity for 3.3 V/5 V logic levels |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.25 ns max at VCC = 5 V - supports >1 GHz data rates in point-to-point digital interconnects |
| Off-state capacitance (Cio(OFF)) | 5 pF max at VO = 3 V - limits crosstalk and loading on adjacent high-speed traces |
| Supply voltage (VCC) | 4 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V TTL and mixed-voltage 3.3 V/5 V system domains |
| Control input thresholds | VIH = 2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - directly interfaces unbuffered TTL outputs without level shifters |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and communications equipment |
| ESD rating | HBM ±2 kV - meets basic handling robustness requirements for automated assembly lines |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBT3861DBQRG4 is housed in a 24-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with 0.65 mm pitch, 7.9 mm × 4.5 mm body size, and 1.2 mm max height. The package is RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 2 (260°C peak reflow), and features exposed metal-free construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 24 | NC | No internal connection - must remain unconnected; no pull-up/down or routing required |
| 2–11 | A1–A10 | Input/output port A - bidirectional signal terminals connected through low-rON FETs to corresponding B pins |
| 12 | GND | Ground reference - primary return path for switch current and control logic; requires low-inductance local decoupling |
| 13 | VCC | Power supply - supplies bias for internal level shifters and pass transistors; bypass with 0.1 µF ceramic near pin |
| 14 | OE | Output-enable control - active-low logic input; drives internal gate bias to turn all 10 switches ON (OE = L) or OFF (OE = H) |
| 15–23 | B1–B10 | Input/output port B - mirror counterparts to A1–A10; electrically identical and interchangeable in layout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 10-bit bidirectional bus switch | Single OE controls all ten channels simultaneously - eliminates timing skew between lanes in parallel data paths |
| 5 Ω typical on-resistance | Enables <100 mV voltage drop at 20 mA per channel - preserves logic high/low margins in 5 V systems |
| TTL-compatible control interface | Accepts standard 5 V TTL output levels directly - removes need for external level translators or resistive biasing |
| Sub-1 ns propagation delay | Supports clean edge transmission up to 1 GHz - suitable for high-speed address/data multiplexing in microcontroller peripherals |
| Latch-up immunity >250 mA | Withstands transient overcurrent events during hot-plug insertion - critical for modular backplane and docking station designs |
Applications
| Memory Expansion Interface | Industrial Backplane Isolation |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Adding external SRAM or Flash memory to a microcontroller with limited address/data bus pins. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional bus switch enabling time-multiplexed sharing of address/data lines between internal and external memory banks. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete logic gates or complex CPLD-based bus arbiters while maintaining full 5 V logic compatibility and sub-nanosecond timing alignment. |
Use Scenario: Isolating legacy ISA or PCI-like parallel control buses between hot-swappable module slots and main controller. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Signal path gate controlled by FPGA-managed OE to prevent bus contention during module insertion/removal. Use Value: Prevents signal corruption and power rail disturbance during live insertion; 5 Ω ron ensures minimal skew across all 10 control lines. |
| Microcontroller Peripheral Multiplexing | Test Access Port (TAP) Signal Routing |
Use Scenario: Sharing UART, SPI, or GPIO pins between multiple peripherals (e.g., display driver and sensor interface) on resource-constrained MCUs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-latency analog switch enabling software-selectable peripheral connectivity without clock domain crossing. Use Value: Reduces PCB layer count vs. mux-based solutions; 0.25 ns tpd avoids setup/hold violations in 50 MHz SPI clock domains. |
Use Scenario: Dynamically routing JTAG TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO signals between multiple ASICs or FPGAs on a shared test bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: OE-gated signal bridge allowing one TAP controller to access individual devices without physical rework. Use Value: Enables production test automation with zero hardware change; 5 pF Cio(OFF) prevents capacitive loading that would degrade TCK rise/fall times. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTD3384DBQR | 10-bit, dual-supply (VCCA = 1.65–3.6 V, VCCB = 2.3–5.5 V), 6 Ω ron, 3-state outputs | Supports level translation between 3.3 V and 5 V domains; not TTL-input compatible | Select when interfacing mixed-voltage logic families; avoid if only 5 V TTL control is available |
| 74LVC1G3157DCUR | Single-channel SPDT analog switch, 10 Ω ron, 1.65–5.5 V supply, smaller SOT-23-6 package | Requires 10 discrete units for full 10-bit function; higher board area and routing complexity | Choose only for ultra-low-volume prototyping where density is secondary to part commonality |
Compared with SN74CBT3861DBQRG4, SN74CBTD3384DBQR adds voltage translation but increases design complexity with dual supplies, while 74LVC1G3157DCUR sacrifices integration and timing performance for footprint reduction - neither offers pin-compatible replacement.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current per channel for SN74CBT3861DBQRG4?
The SN74CBT3861DBQRG4 supports a continuous channel current of 128 mA per switch, verified under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4–5.5 V, TA = –40°C to 85°C). This rating applies to steady-state DC conduction; pulsed operation may allow brief excursions beyond this limit, but thermal derating must be applied based on θJA = 61°C/W for the DBQ package.
Does SN74CBT3861DBQRG4 support level shifting between different logic voltages?
No, SN74CBT3861DBQRG4 does not perform level shifting. It operates from a single VCC supply (4–5.5 V) and passes signals bidirectionally between A and B ports with minimal attenuation. Input thresholds are fixed for TTL compatibility (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V), so it cannot translate 3.3 V logic to 5 V domains or vice versa without external biasing.
Can SN74CBT3861DBQRG4 be used in hot-swap applications?
Yes, SN74CBT3861DBQRG4 is explicitly qualified for hot-swap use: its latch-up performance exceeds 250 mA per JESD 17, and it features robust absolute maximum ratings (VI/VO = –0.5 V to 7 V). When combined with series current-limiting resistors and proper OE sequencing, it safely isolates live backplane segments during module insertion.
What is the off-state capacitance of SN74CBT3861DBQRG4 and why does it matter?
The off-state capacitance (Cio(OFF)) of SN74CBT3861DBQRG4 is 5 pF maximum at VO = 3 V or 0 V. This low value minimizes capacitive loading on adjacent high-speed traces, reducing crosstalk and preserving signal edge rates - critical when routing multiple parallel data lines on dense PCBs or in RF-adjacent environments.
Is SN74CBT3861DBQRG4 pin-compatible with other packages in the same family?
No, SN74CBT3861DBQRG4 (SSOP-24) is not pin-compatible with SN74CBT3861DW (SOIC-24) or SN74CBT3861PWR (TSSOP-24), despite identical pin functions. Pin 1 location, pad pitch (0.65 mm vs. 1.27 mm), and body dimensions differ significantly - PCB layout and stencil design must be package-specific. Always verify land pattern against TI's PW0024A or DBQ0024A outlines.
