Product details
Overview
SN74CBT6800CDW 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, and B-port precharge via BIASV for live-insertion noise suppression in PCI hot-plug systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT6800CDW datasheet, SN74CBT6800CDW pinout, SN74CBT6800CDW application, or SN74CBT6800CDW equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.15 ns propagation delay at 5 V, Ioff partial-power-down support, 5.5 pF off-state I/O capacitance, and SOIC-24 package compatibility with industrial bus isolation and memory interleaving designs.
Technical Context
This device implements a 10-channel analog/digital signal gate using low-Ron NMOS FETs controlled by a single active-low ON input. Its internal undershoot-protection circuitry actively clamps A/B port voltages down to −2 V while maintaining OFF-state integrity during transient events.
The B port is precharged to an externally supplied BIASV (0–VCC) through an internal ~10-kΩ path when ON is high or VCC = 0 V, enabling precise threshold alignment with downstream receivers to suppress live-insertion glitches. Ioff functionality ensures backflow current blocking during partial power-down.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4 V to 5.5 V - supports standard 5-V TTL/CMOS logic rails with margin for supply variation |
| ron (Typ) | 3 Ω - enables near-zero voltage drop and minimal signal attenuation across 10-bit data paths |
| tpd (Typ) | 0.15 ns at VCC = 5 V - delivers sub-nanosecond propagation for high-speed bus gating without timing skew |
| Cio(OFF) | 5.5 pF - minimizes capacitive loading on isolated buses, preserving signal edge rates and integrity |
| Ioff | 10 µA max at VCC = 0 V - guarantees isolation and prevents damaging back-current during system power sequencing |
| Undershoot Protection | −2 V on A/B ports - maintains OFF-state reliability during connector mating transients in hot-plug environments |
| BIASV Range | 0 V to VCC - allows user-selectable precharge level to match receiver input thresholds and suppress insertion noise |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBT6800CDW uses a 24-pin SOIC (DW) package with 1.27 mm pitch, 7.5 mm × 15.4 mm body, and standard JEDEC MO-001AC footprint. Pin 1 is located at top-left corner with index area marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1–A10 | Input/Output port A | 10-bit bidirectional data channel connected to B port when ON = L; supports 0–5 V signaling levels |
| B1–B10 | Input/Output port B | 10-bit bidirectional data channel; internally precharged to BIASV when switch is OFF or powered down |
| ON | Active-low enable | Low = A↔B connection; high = high-Z isolation + B-port precharge; requires pull-up to VCC for power-up safety |
| BIASV | Bias voltage supply | User-supplied reference (0–VCC) setting precharge level on B port to minimize live-insertion noise |
| VCC | Power supply | 4–5.5 V main supply; powers internal logic and FET switches; enables Ioff behavior when at 0 V |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for VCC, BIASV, and all I/O; required for undershoot clamp diode operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional low-Ron switching | 3 Ω typical ron enables lossless 10-bit data transfer between mixed-voltage domains (0.8 V to 5 V) |
| Live-insertion noise suppression | B-port precharge to user-defined BIASV eliminates threshold-crossing glitches during card insertion into active buses |
| Robust undershoot immunity | Active clamping protects A/B ports to −2 V, preventing false triggering or latch-up during connector mating transients |
| Partial-power-down support | Ioff limits reverse current to 10 µA when VCC = 0 V, enabling safe integration into multi-rail systems with staggered power sequencing |
| Hot-plug compliance | Meets PCI Hot Plug specification requirements via combined undershoot protection, precharge, and Ioff features |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTD6800CDW | Includes 3-state outputs and higher drive strength; no BIASV pin; ron = 4 Ω typical | Lacks live-insertion precharge; suited for static bus isolation rather than hot-plug systems | Select when BIASV functionality is unnecessary and higher output current (±128 mA) is required |
| SN74CB3Q3257PWR | 4-channel, 2:1 multiplexer with 3.5 Ω ron; no undershoot protection; BIASV absent; TSSOP-16 package | Lower channel count and no hot-plug features; optimized for compact mux-based signal routing | Choose for space-constrained designs needing channel selection over full 10-bit bus gating |
Compared with SN74CBT6800CDW, SN74CBTD6800CDW trades BIASV-driven live-insertion robustness for stronger drive capability, while SN74CB3Q3257PWR offers multiplexing flexibility in smaller form factor but omits critical hot-plug protections essential for PCI-compliant systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum undershoot voltage the SN74CBT6800CDW can withstand on its A and B ports?
The SN74CBT6800CDW provides active undershoot protection up to −2 V on both A and B ports, as verified in the absolute maximum ratings and functional testing sections of the SCDS138 datasheet. This protection is implemented via internal clamp circuitry that holds the switch in the OFF state during transient undershoot events, preventing erroneous conduction or damage. The −2 V rating applies across the full operating temperature range of −40°C to 85°C.
How does the BIASV pin function in the SN74CBT6800CDW during hot-plug insertion?
The BIASV pin on the SN74CBT6800CDW supplies a user-defined bias voltage (0 V to VCC) used to precharge the B port through an internal ~10-kΩ path when the ON input is high or VCC = 0 V. During hot-plug insertion, this precharge holds the B-port voltage near the input threshold of downstream receivers, preventing signal transitions from crossing the logic threshold region and causing glitches. This mechanism is explicitly validated for PCI Hot Plug compliance in the device's application description.
Does the SN74CBT6800CDW support partial-power-down operation, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the SN74CBT6800CDW supports partial-power-down operation via its Ioff feature. When VCC = 0 V, the device limits reverse current to ≤10 µA even with up to 5.5 V applied to I/O pins, preventing damaging backflow through powered-down sections of the system. This behavior is characterized in the electrical specifications table and confirmed under recommended operating conditions where Ioff is guaranteed across the full temperature range.
What is the typical ON-state resistance (ron) of the SN74CBT6800CDW, and how does it affect signal integrity?
The SN74CBT6800CDW has a typical ON-state resistance of 3 Ω at VCC = 4.5 V and IO = 30 mA, as measured per the datasheet's ron test conditions. This low ron minimizes voltage drop and power dissipation across the 10-bit switch path, preserving signal amplitude and reducing distortion-especially critical in high-speed digital and analog signal gating applications such as memory interleaving and PCI bus isolation.
Can the SN74CBT6800CDW be used with mixed-voltage signaling, and what level ranges does it support?
Yes, the SN74CBT6800CDW supports bidirectional 0–5 V signaling across its A and B ports, enabling interoperability 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 translators. This capability is explicitly stated in the "Data and Control Inputs" section of the datasheet and validated across the full VI/O range of 0–5.5 V under recommended operating conditions.
