Product details
Overview
SN74CBT6800CDBR from Texas Instruments is a 10-bit bidirectional FET bus switch with TTL-compatible control, 3 Ω typical ON-state resistance, −2 V undershoot protection on A/B ports, B-port precharge via BIASV pin, and support for 0–5-V signaling across mixed-voltage systems. It enables hot-plug–capable PCI interface isolation in live-insertion backplane applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT6800CDBR datasheet, SN74CBT6800CDBR pinout, SN74CBT6800CDBR application, or SN74CBT6800CDBR equivalent, key selection criteria include live-insertion noise suppression via BIASV biasing, Ioff partial-power-down capability, sub-0.25 ns propagation delay, and SSOP-24 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements a 10-channel, single-enable (ON) analog switch architecture using low-threshold NMOS FETs. Each channel provides bidirectional signal flow with near-zero RC delay due to 3 Ω ron and 5.5 pF off-state capacitance, enabling transparent data gating without timing skew.
The integrated undershoot-protection circuit actively clamps A/B port voltages down to −2 V during live insertion, while the BIASV terminal sources precharge current through an internal ~10-kΩ equivalent resistor-ensuring B-port voltage settles near receiver threshold before connector mating completes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| ON-state resistance (ron) | 3 Ω typical - minimizes voltage drop and signal distortion at 64 mA per channel |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.15 ns at VCC = 5 V - enables GHz-range digital signal pass-through without timing penalty |
| Off-state capacitance (Cio(OFF)) | 5.5 pF typical - reduces capacitive loading and crosstalk on isolated buses |
| Undershoot protection limit | −2 V on A/B ports - prevents false logic transitions during hot-plug transients |
| BIASV precharge function | Internal ~10-kΩ pull-up to user-supplied voltage - suppresses live-insertion glitches by holding B port near receiver VIL |
| Ioff partial-power-down | 10 µA max at VCC = 0 V - blocks backflow current when system rails are unpowered, protecting upstream drivers |
| VCC operating range | 4 V to 5.5 V - supports legacy 5-V TTL and mixed-signal environments with margin |
| Data I/O voltage range | 0 V to 5.5 V - interoperates with 0.8-V to 5-V logic families without level shifters |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBT6800CDBR is housed in a 24-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with 0.65 mm lead pitch, 7.9 mm × 4.4 mm body, and 1.2 mm max height - optimized for automated assembly and thermal performance (θJA = 63°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1–A10 | Input/Output port A | 10-bit bidirectional data path; electrically identical to B port; supports undershoot clamping |
| B1–B10 | Input/Output port B | 10-bit bidirectional data path; internally precharged to BIASV when switch is OFF or VCC = 0 V |
| ON | Active-low enable input | Drives switch ON (low) or OFF (high); requires pullup to VCC during power sequencing |
| BIASV | Bias supply input | User-supplied voltage (0–VCC) that sets precharge level for B port; critical for live-insertion noise reduction |
| VCC | Power supply | 4 V–5.5 V main supply; powers internal protection circuitry and switch FETs |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for VCC, BIASV, and all I/O signals; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Live-insertion noise suppression | BIASV-controlled B-port precharge eliminates glitching during card mating by holding voltage outside receiver input threshold region |
| Hot-plug–ready undershoot protection | Dedicated sensing circuit maintains OFF state during −2 V transients on A/B ports - no external diodes required |
| Mixed-voltage signal transparency | 0–5.5 V I/O tolerance allows direct interfacing between 1.2-V, 1.8-V, 2.5-V, 3.3-V, and 5-V domains without level translation |
| Partial-power-down safety | Ioff limits reverse current to 10 µA when VCC = 0 V - prevents damage to powered subsystems during rail sequencing |
| Ultra-low signal distortion | 3 Ω ron + 5.5 pF Cio(OFF) yields <0.25 ns propagation delay and minimal rise/fall time degradation |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTD6800CDBR | Includes 3-state outputs and higher drive strength (±128 mA), but lacks BIASV precharge and undershoot protection | Suitable for static bus isolation where live insertion is not required | Choose when higher current drive is needed and hot-plug immunity is unnecessary |
| SN74LVC1G3157DBVR | Single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switch; 5-V tolerant I/O; no BIASV or undershoot protection; 6 Ω ron | Applicable only for point-to-point signal routing, not 10-bit parallel bus isolation | Select for low-pin-count, low-cost signal switching - not for multi-bit hot-plug interfaces |
Compared with SN74CBT6800CDBR, SN74CBTD6800CDBR trades live-insertion robustness for higher drive capability, while SN74LVC1G3157DBVR offers cost-efficient SPDT switching but cannot replace 10-bit parallel isolation - making SN74CBT6800CDBR uniquely suited for PCI-compliant hot-plug systems requiring simultaneous multi-line precharge and transient protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum undershoot voltage the SN74CBT6800CDBR can withstand on its A and B ports?
The SN74CBT6800CDBR provides active undershoot protection up to −2 V on both A and B ports, as confirmed in the absolute maximum ratings and functional description. This protection operates independently of VCC status and ensures the switch remains in the OFF state during transient events, preventing false logic transitions in live-insertion scenarios. The SN74CBT6800CDBR achieves this via dedicated internal sensing circuitry, eliminating need for external clamp diodes.
How does the BIASV pin function in the SN74CBT6800CDBR, and what voltage should it be set to?
The BIASV pin on the SN74CBT6800CDBR supplies a user-defined bias voltage (0 V to VCC) that precharges the B port through an internal ~10-kΩ equivalent resistor when the switch is OFF or VCC = 0 V. For PCI hot-plug applications, BIASV is typically set to 1.4 V to align with receiver input threshold levels and prevent live-insertion glitches. The SN74CBT6800CDBR datasheet specifies BIASV must remain within 0–VCC and recommends stable decoupling for noise immunity.
Does the SN74CBT6800CDBR support partial-power-down operation, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the SN74CBT6800CDBR supports partial-power-down via its Ioff feature, which limits reverse current to 10 µA maximum when VCC = 0 V and I/O voltages range from 0 V to 5.5 V. This prevents damaging backflow current from powered subsystems into the unpowered SN74CBT6800CDBR, ensuring safe operation during rail sequencing or standby modes. The Ioff specification is validated per JEDEC JESD78 Class II latch-up testing.
What is the typical ON-state resistance of the SN74CBT6800CDBR, and how does it affect signal integrity?
The SN74CBT6800CDBR has a typical ON-state resistance (ron) of 3 Ω at VCC = 4.5 V and IO = 30 mA, with a maximum of 6 Ω across temperature and voltage ranges. This low ron minimizes voltage drop and signal attenuation - for example, a 64 mA signal experiences only ~192 mV drop - preserving logic margins and reducing timing skew across all 10 channels. The SN74CBT6800CDBR's matched ron ensures consistent delay and amplitude response across parallel data paths.
Can the SN74CBT6800CDBR interface between different logic voltage domains, and what are its I/O voltage limits?
Yes, the SN74CBT6800CDBR supports 0 V to 5.5 V signaling on all A and B port pins, enabling seamless interfacing between 0.8-V, 1.2-V, 1.5-V, 1.8-V, 2.5-V, 3.3-V, and 5-V logic families without external level shifters. Its control inputs accept TTL or 5-V/3.3-V CMOS levels, and the SN74CBT6800CDBR maintains full functionality across the entire VCC range (4 V–5.5 V), making it ideal for mixed-voltage system interconnects.
