Product details
Overview
SN74CBT3861DW from Texas Instruments is a 10-bit FET bus switch IC with 5-Ω on-state resistance, TTL-compatible control inputs, and single OE-enabled bidirectional switching between A and B ports. It operates from 4 V to 5.5 V across –40°C to 85°C and delivers sub-nanosecond propagation delay (0.25 ns at 5 V) for high-speed data path isolation in digital systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT3861DW datasheet, SN74CBT3861DW pinout, SN74CBT3861DW application, or SN74CBT3861DW equivalent, key selection criteria include its low on-resistance, rail-to-rail signal handling, latch-up immunity (>250 mA), and SOIC-24 package compatibility with legacy board layouts requiring minimal layout change.
Technical Context
This device implements ten independent NMOS transmission gates controlled by a single active-low output-enable (OE) input. When OE is low, all ten A–B paths conduct with near-zero charge injection and minimal capacitive loading (Cio(OFF) = 5 pF). The architecture avoids internal latching or level-shifting-signals pass through unaltered in voltage range (–0.5 V to 7 V).
It uses standard CMOS process technology with ESD protection and meets JESD 17 latch-up specification. No internal pull-ups or pull-downs exist on A/B ports; all I/Os are fully floating when disabled, supporting hot-swap and bus-isolation use cases without signal contention.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (ron) | 5 Ω typical at VCC = 4.5 V - enables low-loss signal routing with <10 mV drop at 20 mA per channel |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.25 ns max at VCC = 5 V - supports >1 GHz data rate in short trace applications |
| Supply voltage range | 4 V to 5.5 V - compatible with 5-V TTL and mixed-voltage system backplanes |
| Input voltage range (VI) | –0.5 V to 7 V - allows safe interfacing with overvoltage-tolerant or undershoot-prone buses |
| Off-state capacitance (Cio) | 5 pF max - minimizes crosstalk and loading on adjacent high-speed traces |
| Latch-up immunity | >250 mA per JESD 17 - ensures robust operation in noisy industrial environments |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for extended commercial and industrial ambient conditions |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBT3861DW is housed in a 24-pin SOIC (DW) package with 0.65 mm lead pitch, 7.5 mm body width, and 1.2 mm max height. Thermal resistance θJA is 46°C/W, enabling operation at full rating without forced airflow in standard PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 24 | NC | No internal connection - must remain unconnected; no pull-up/down or bypass required |
| 2–11 | A1–A10 | Input/output port A - bidirectional signal terminals tied directly to switch FET sources |
| 12 | GND | Ground reference - primary return path for all switch current and control logic |
| 13 | VCC | Power supply - supplies both control logic and switch conduction path; decoupling required within 1 cm |
| 14 | OE | Active-low output enable - drives all ten switches simultaneously; TTL-compatible threshold (VIL ≤ 0.8 V) |
| 15–23 | B1–B10 | Input/output port B - bidirectional signal terminals tied directly to switch FET drains |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 10-bit bidirectional bus switch | Single OE controls all ten channels - simplifies timing-critical enable sequencing in memory/data bus isolation |
| 5-Ω typical on-resistance | Enables <1% signal attenuation at 20 mA - preserves logic margins in 5-V TTL and LVTTL systems |
| TTL-compatible control inputs | Accepts standard 0.8 V/2.0 V thresholds - eliminates need for level translators when driven by legacy logic |
| High off-isolation (5 pF Cio) | Reduces capacitive coupling between enabled and disabled buses - critical for multi-drop or shared-bus architectures |
| Rail-to-rail signal swing support | Handles –0.5 V to 7 V signals - accommodates ground bounce, overshoot, and mixed-supply interfaces |
Applications
| PCI Bus Isolation | Memory Address Multiplexing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Isolating PCI add-in card signals from motherboard during hot-plug insertion to prevent bus contention. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional signal gate controlled by system-side OE to break continuity before card power-up.

Use Value: TTL-compatible VIH/VIL and 5-Ω RON ensure drop-in replacement without redesign of upstream drivers or receivers. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus-switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTD3384DW | 10-bit switch with 3.3-V-only supply (3.0–3.6 V); higher RON (7 Ω typ); includes power-down mode | Requires 3.3-V rail and level translation for 5-V systems; better suited for low-power portable designs | Select only if migrating to 3.3-V infrastructure; not pin-compatible due to different VCC and OE voltage ranges |
| 74LVC1G3157DBVR | Single-pole double-throw analog switch; 5-V tolerant; 10 Ω RON; SC70-6 package | Provides 1-channel switching in ultra-small footprint; lacks multi-bit synchronization via shared OE | Use for point-to-point signal routing where density matters more than parallel bus control; requires 10x devices for full 10-bit function |
Compared with SN74CBT3861DW, SN74CBTD3384DW trades 5-V compatibility for lower power and added shutdown control, while 74LVC1G3157DBVR offers miniaturization at the cost of scalability and synchronized enable timing-neither is pin-compatible, and both require PCB redesign for direct substitution.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current per channel for SN74CBT3861DW?
The SN74CBT3861DW supports up to 128 mA continuous channel current per A–B path, as specified in absolute maximum ratings. This rating applies under recommended operating conditions with proper PCB thermal design; derating is required above 70°C ambient. The device maintains 5 Ω on-resistance across this range, ensuring predictable voltage drop and thermal performance in SN74CBT3861DW implementations.
Does SN74CBT3861DW support hot-swap operation?
Yes, SN74CBT3861DW supports hot-swap operation due to its rail-to-rail input voltage tolerance (–0.5 V to 7 V), high off-isolation (5 pF), and absence of internal bias networks on A/B ports. When OE is high, ports float in true high-impedance state-no leakage path exists to VCC or GND. This behavior is confirmed in the functional table and absolute maximum ratings section of the SN74CBT3861DW datasheet.
Can SN74CBT3861DW be used with 3.3-V logic levels?
SN74CBT3861DW is designed for 5-V operation (4 V to 5.5 V supply) and features TTL-compatible control inputs (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V), making it compatible with 3.3-V CMOS outputs driving OE-provided those outputs meet the 2.0 V VIH minimum. However, A/B signal paths retain full 5-V swing capability; using 3.3-V signals does not damage the SN74CBT3861DW but may reduce noise margin.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of SN74CBT3861DW in its SOIC package?
The SN74CBT3861DW in the DW (SOIC-24) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 46°C/W, measured per JESD 51-7 on a standard 2S2P test board. This value assumes 1-inch² copper area on top and bottom layers with thermal vias; actual board layout will affect real-world thermal performance. The SN74CBT3861DW can sustain full 128 mA per channel at 25°C ambient with this thermal design.
Is there a pin-compatible 3.3-V replacement for SN74CBT3861DW?
No, there is no pin-compatible 3.3-V replacement for SN74CBT3861DW. The SN74CBTD3384DW shares the same pinout but requires 3.0–3.6 V supply and has different input voltage thresholds-making it incompatible with 5-V OE control. Other alternatives like 74LVC1G3157DBVR differ in channel count, package, and enable architecture. Any migration from SN74CBT3861DW to 3.3-V operation requires board-level redesign.
