Product details
Overview
SN74CBT3861DGVR from Texas Instruments is a 10-bit FET bus switch with 5-Ω on-state resistance, TTL-compatible input levels, and single OE control enabling/disabling all channels simultaneously. It operates from 4 V to 5.5 V over –40°C to 85°C and is used in high-speed data path isolation for memory expansion and peripheral multiplexing in industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT3861DGVR datasheet, SN74CBT3861DGVR pinout, SN74CBT3861DGVR application, or SN74CBT3861DGVR equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance matching across A/B ports, propagation delay under 0.35 ns at 4 V, OE-controlled bidirectional isolation, and TVSOP-24 thermal performance (θJA = 86°C/W).
Technical Context
This device implements ten independent FET-based transmission gates controlled by a single active-low output-enable (OE) signal. When OE is low, each An–Bn pair forms a low-impedance conductive path with typical ron of 5 Ω at VCC = 4.5 V and II = 30 mA. When OE is high, both ports enter high-impedance state with Cio(OFF) ≤ 5 pF.
The switch supports bidirectional signal flow without direction control logic, requires no level translation, and maintains signal integrity up to 100 MHz due to minimal propagation delay (tpd ≤ 0.35 ns) and low capacitive loading (Ci = 3 pF per control input).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (ron) | 5 Ω typical at VCC = 4.5 V - ensures minimal voltage drop and signal attenuation in 3.3-V/5-V data buses. |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.35 ns max at VCC = 4 V - enables use in sub-1-GHz digital interfaces without timing budget impact. |
| Supply voltage range | 4 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5-V TTL and mixed-voltage system rails. |
| Input capacitance (Ci) | 3 pF per control input - reduces loading on upstream drivers and preserves edge rate. |
| Off-state capacitance (Cio(OFF)) | 5 pF - minimizes crosstalk and coupling between isolated bus segments. |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to 85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded controller and instrumentation applications. |
| Output-enable response (ten/tdis) | 3.8 ns / 3.4 ns typical at VCC = 5 V - supports fast dynamic bus arbitration and hot-swap enable sequencing. |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBT3861DGVR is housed in a 24-pin TVSOP (DGV) package measuring 4.4 mm × 6.5 mm × 1.2 mm max height, with 0.65-mm lead pitch and exposed pad not electrically connected. The package supports fine-pitch PCB assembly and provides θJA = 86°C/W for thermal management in compact layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 24 | No internal connection (NC) | Unused pins; must be left unconnected or tied to GND for mechanical stability only. |
| 2–11 | A1–A10 inputs/outputs | Bidirectional port A terminals - connect to source-side data lines (e.g., microcontroller bus). |
| 12 | GND | Ground reference for all switching elements and logic thresholds. |
| 13 | VCC | Positive supply rail (4–5.5 V); decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm of this pin. |
| 14 | OE (active-low) | Global enable control - drives all 10 switches simultaneously; low = on, high = high-Z. |
| 15–23 | B1–B10 inputs/outputs | Bidirectional port B terminals - connect to destination-side data lines (e.g., memory or peripheral bus). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 10-bit bidirectional bus switching | Single OE controls all channels - eliminates need for discrete enable logic or timing skew compensation. |
| 5-Ω typical on-state resistance | Enables <10 mV drop at 2 mA load - preserves logic high/low margins in 3.3-V and 5-V systems. |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2 V - interoperates directly with legacy 5-V microcontrollers and FPGAs without level shifters. |
| Latch-up immunity >250 mA | Complies with JESD17 - prevents destructive latch-up during hot-insertion or bus contention events. |
| Low dynamic power consumption | ICC ≤ 3 µA at standby - suitable for low-power modes in battery-backed or energy-conscious systems. |
Applications
| Memory Expansion Interface | Peripheral Multiplexing |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Isolating multiple SRAM or Flash devices sharing a common address/data bus in a microcontroller-based PLC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional bus switch enabling time-multiplexed access to parallel memory banks via OE strobing. Use Value: Eliminates need for tristate buffers or complex address decoding; 0.35-ns tpd avoids cycle-time penalties in 20-MHz bus operation. |
Use Scenario: Sharing a single UART or SPI interface among multiple sensors in an industrial gateway. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Signal-path selector routing host signals to one peripheral at a time while isolating others. Use Value: Prevents signal contention and backfeeding; 5-pF Cio(OFF) ensures negligible capacitive loading on inactive peripherals. |
| Hot-Swappable Module Interface | Logic-Level Translation Bridge |
|
Use Scenario: Enabling safe insertion/removal of add-on daughterboards in field-programmable controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: OE-controlled isolation barrier that disconnects module I/O before power sequencing begins. Use Value: Meets JESD17 latch-up immunity (>250 mA), preventing damage during live insertion; NC pins simplify board layout near edge connectors. |
Use Scenario: Interfacing 3.3-V FPGA I/O to 5-V legacy peripherals without dedicated level translators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive voltage-tolerant switch leveraging FET channel conduction rather than active logic. Use Value: Supports VI up to 7 V - allows 5-V signals to pass through when VCC = 3.3 V (with appropriate current limiting), reducing BOM count. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTD3384PWR | 10-bit, 3.3-V optimized, ron = 4 Ω typical, supports VCC = 2.3–3.6 V only. | Requires separate 3.3-V rail; not suitable for 5-V systems or mixed-voltage domains. | Select when operating exclusively at 3.3 V and lower on-resistance is critical for high-speed DDR signaling. |
| 74LVC1G3157GW | Single-pole double-throw (SPDT) analog switch, ron = 10 Ω, 5-V tolerant I/O, but only 1 channel. | Not scalable to 10-bit parallel paths; lacks simultaneous multi-channel enable control. | Choose for low-pin-count point-to-point signal routing where density and cost outweigh parallel capability. |
Compared with SN74CBT3861DGVR, SN74CBTD3384PWR offers better ron at 3.3 V but cannot operate at 5 V, while 74LVC1G3157GW provides voltage tolerance and analog flexibility but requires ten discrete units to match 10-bit functionality - increasing layout area and control complexity.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating per channel for the SN74CBT3861DGVR?
The SN74CBT3861DGVR supports a continuous channel current of 128 mA per A–B path. This rating is specified under absolute maximum conditions and ensures reliable conduction without thermal runaway when operated within recommended VCC (4–5.5 V) and temperature (–40°C to 85°C) ranges. Exceeding this current may degrade ron stability or trigger latch-up.
Does the SN74CBT3861DGVR require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its OE pin?
Yes - the SN74CBT3861DGVR OE pin has no internal biasing. To ensure deterministic startup behavior, OE must be actively driven or externally pulled to VCC (for disabled state) or GND (for enabled state). TI recommends using a 10-kΩ pull-down resistor if OE is controlled by an open-drain driver or left unconnected during reset.
Can the SN74CBT3861DGVR be used to switch analog signals such as audio or sensor outputs?
No - the SN74CBT3861DGVR is characterized and specified only for digital bus switching. Its ron variation over voltage and temperature, lack of guaranteed THD or bandwidth specs, and undefined analog linearity make it unsuitable for precision analog signal routing. For analog applications, TI recommends dedicated analog switches like the TMUX series.
What is the meaning of "NC" pins 1 and 24 on the SN74CBT3861DGVR TVSOP package?
Pins 1 and 24 of the SN74CBT3861DGVR are designated No Internal Connection (NC). They serve no electrical function and must remain unconnected in the PCB layout. While they may provide mechanical anchoring, routing traces or vias to them is unnecessary and risks unintended coupling; TI's layout guidelines recommend leaving them floating or optionally grounding for EMI suppression only.
How does the SN74CBT3861DGVR handle input voltages exceeding VCC?
The SN74CBT3861DGVR supports input voltages up to 7 V regardless of VCC, as confirmed by its absolute maximum rating (VI = –0.5 V to 7 V) and input clamp current specification (IIK = –50 mA). This 5-V-tolerant behavior allows safe interfacing with higher-voltage logic families when VCC is set to 3.3 V or 5 V, provided current into the clamp diodes remains within limits.
