Product details
Overview
SN74CBT6800ADBR from Texas Instruments is a 10-bit FET bus switch with precharged B-port outputs, designed for live-insertion applications in backplane and hot-swap systems. It features 5-Ω on-state resistance, TTL-compatible control inputs, and user-selectable BIASV bias voltage (1.3 V to VCC) to minimize signal distortion during hot-plug events. The device operates from –40°C to 85°C in a 24-pin SSOP package.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT6800ADBR datasheet, SN74CBT6800ADBR pinout, SN74CBT6800ADBR application, or SN74CBT6800ADBR equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance stability across VCC (4–5.5 V), precharge-enabled noise suppression during live insertion, bidirectional signal integrity at <0.35 ns propagation delay, and compatibility with 3.3-V/5-V mixed-voltage bus architectures.
Technical Context
The SN74CBT6800ADBR implements a single 10-bit FET-based analog switch array with one global enable (ON) input controlling all channels simultaneously. Its low on-resistance (3–7 Ω typical) and near-zero propagation delay (<0.35 ns at 4 V VCC) support high-fidelity bidirectional data transfer without direction control logic.
When enabled (ON = low), A1–A10 are electrically connected to B1–B10 via low-RON FETs. When disabled (ON = high or VCC = 0 V), the B port is actively precharged to BIASV through an internal ~10-kΩ equivalent resistor, suppressing floating-node transients critical in hot-swap card-edge interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (RON) | 3–7 Ω typical - ensures minimal voltage drop and signal attenuation across 10-bit data paths at 30–64 mA channel current. |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.25–0.35 ns - enables sub-nanosecond timing alignment for high-speed parallel buses up to 1 GHz effective bandwidth. |
| BIASV range | 1.3 V to VCC - allows precise precharge voltage tuning to match system I/O thresholds (e.g., 2.4 V for 3.3-V LVTTL). |
| VCC operating range | 4 V to 5.5 V - supports robust operation across industrial-grade 5-V supply tolerances and brownout margins. |
| Input capacitance (Ci) | 3.5 pF - limits loading on upstream drivers and preserves edge rate integrity in dense PCB routing. |
| Off-state output capacitance (CO(OFF)) | 4.5 pF - minimizes crosstalk and capacitive coupling between adjacent channels when switched off. |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for extended-temperature industrial and telecom infrastructure environments. |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBT6800ADBR is housed in a 24-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with 0.65-mm lead pitch, 7.9 mm × 4.5 mm body size, and 1.2 mm max height - optimized for space-constrained backplane interface modules and modular I/O cards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ON (Pin 1) | Global enable input | Active-low control: drives all 10 switches ON when low; disables all and precharges B port when high. |
| A1–A10 (Pins 2–11) | Port A data inputs/outputs | Bidirectional signal terminals connected directly to upstream bus or controller side; no direction pin required. |
| GND (Pin 12) | Power ground | Reference return path for VCC, BIASV, and signal currents; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| VCC (Pin 13) | Supply voltage | Powers internal FETs and bias circuitry; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm of pin for stable switching. |
| B1–B10 (Pins 14–23) | Port B data inputs/outputs | Bidirectional terminals connected to hot-swappable card edge or downstream load; precharged to BIASV when OFF. |
| BIASV (Pin 24) | Bias voltage reference | User-supplied voltage (1.3 V to VCC) setting precharge level for B port; must be stable and low-noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precharged B-port outputs | Reduces live-insertion noise by clamping B-side nodes to BIASV instead of letting them float, eliminating bus glitches during card insertion/removal. |
| 5-Ω typical RON | Enables high-current drive capability (up to 128 mA per channel) while maintaining <10 mV voltage drop at 50 mA - critical for TTL/LVTTL logic-level preservation. |
| TTL-compatible control inputs | Accepts standard 0.8 V / 2.0 V VIH/VIL thresholds - eliminates need for level shifters when interfacing with legacy 5-V microcontrollers or FPGAs. |
| Bidirectional signal path | Supports data flow in either direction without external direction control logic - simplifies PCB layout and reduces component count in full-duplex bus topologies. |
| Low input/output capacitance | 3.5 pF input and 4.5 pF off-state output capacitance limit signal degradation and crosstalk in high-density 10-bit parallel traces. |
Applications
| Backplane Hot-Swap Interface | Modular I/O Card Expansion |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Inserting/removing daughter cards into a powered-backplane system without disrupting active communication on other slots. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional bus switch isolating card-side signals (B port) from main backplane (A port); precharges B port to BIASV during insertion to suppress transient noise.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTD6800ADBR | Includes bus-hold circuitry on B port; higher ICC (100 µA typical vs. 50 µA); same RON and pinout. | Eliminates need for external pull-up/down resistors on B port; better for unterminated stubs but increases static power. | Select SN74CBTD6800ADBR if bus-hold functionality is required to prevent floating states on unconnected B-side traces. |
| SN74LVC1G3157DCKR | Single-channel SPDT switch; 5.5-Ω RON; 5-V tolerant; different package (SC70-6) and pinout; no BIASV or precharge. | Not scalable to 10-bit; lacks live-insertion noise suppression; suitable only for point-to-point signal routing. | Choose SN74LVC1G3157DCKR only for low-channel-count, non-hot-swap applications where precharge is unnecessary and space is extremely constrained. |
Compared with SN74CBT6800ADBR, SN74CBTD6800ADBR adds bus-hold for enhanced noise immunity at the cost of higher quiescent current, while SN74LVC1G3157DCKR offers compact single-channel routing without live-insertion support - making SN74CBT6800ADBR the sole choice for 10-bit hot-swap bus isolation.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current per channel for the SN74CBT6800ADBR?
The SN74CBT6800ADBR supports a maximum continuous channel current of 128 mA, as specified in its absolute maximum ratings. This rating applies under steady-state conditions with proper thermal management and confirms the device's suitability for driving moderate-load parallel buses without derating at full temperature range. The SN74CBT6800ADBR maintains stable RON performance up to this current, ensuring predictable voltage drop and signal integrity.
Can the SN74CBT6800ADBR operate with a 3.3-V supply voltage?
No - the SN74CBT6800ADBR requires a minimum VCC of 4 V per its recommended operating conditions; it is not rated for 3.3-V operation. Attempting to power the SN74CBT6800ADBR at 3.3 V may result in undefined switching behavior, increased RON, or failure to meet timing specifications. For 3.3-V systems, consider TI's SN74CB3Q16245 or compatible LVC-family devices explicitly rated down to 1.65 V.
How does the BIASV pin function during normal operation of the SN74CBT6800ADBR?
During normal operation (ON = low), the BIASV pin has no active role - the A–B switch path is closed and B port follows A port signals. BIASV only becomes active when ON is high or VCC = 0 V, at which point the B port is precharged to the BIASV voltage via an internal ~10-kΩ equivalent resistor. This ensures the B port remains at a known DC level during hot-insertion, preventing noise coupling into adjacent channels. The SN74CBT6800ADBR relies on this controlled precharge to meet live-insertion reliability requirements.
Is the SN74CBT6800ADBR RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes - the SN74CBT6800ADBR is RoHS compliant and uses NiPdAu (NIPDAU) lead finish, as confirmed in TI's official packaging documentation. It meets JEDEC MSL Level-1 moisture sensitivity classification and supports peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C. The SN74CBT6800ADBR is suitable for lead-free assembly processes and complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and related environmental standards.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the SN74CBT6800ADBR in its SSOP package?
The SN74CBT6800ADBR in the SSOP (DB) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 63°C/W, as specified in the absolute maximum ratings table. This value assumes standard JEDEC test board conditions (2-layer board, 1-in² copper pad). Actual thermal performance in end equipment depends on PCB layout, copper area, airflow, and nearby heat sources - designers should verify junction temperature using worst-case power dissipation (I2RON + ICCVCC) to ensure reliability across –40°C to +85°C operation.
