Product details
Overview
SN74CBT6800DBLE from Texas Instruments is a 10-bit FET bus switch with precharged B-port outputs for live insertion, featuring 5-Ω on-state resistance, TTL-compatible inputs, and operation from –40°C to 85°C. It enables bidirectional signal routing between A and B ports with near-zero propagation delay (0.25 ns max at VCC = 5 V) in hot-swap backplane and modular system applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT6800DBLE datasheet, SN74CBT6800DBLE pinout, SN74CBT6800DBLE application, or SN74CBT6800DBLE equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance stability across voltage range (4–5.5 V), BIASV-controlled precharge functionality, thermal impedance (104°C/W for DB package), and live-insertion noise suppression capability.
Technical Context
The SN74CBT6800DBLE implements a single 10-bit bidirectional FET switch controlled by an active-low ON\ input. When enabled, it establishes low-distortion signal paths with ron ≤ 7 Ω and tpd ≤ 0.25 ns at 5 V; when disabled, the B port is actively precharged to a user-supplied BIASV (1.3 V to VCC) via an internal ~10-kΩ equivalent resistor.
This architecture supports hot-plug compatibility in modular computing systems by eliminating floating-bus transients. Its TTL-level control interface and 50-pF load switching performance are specified across full industrial temperature range without derating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (ron) | 5 Ω typical, ≤7 Ω max - ensures minimal voltage drop and signal attenuation in high-speed data paths. |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.25 ns max at VCC = 5 V - enables sub-nanosecond timing integrity in synchronous bus architectures. |
| Supply voltage (VCC) | 4.0 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5-V TTL and mixed-voltage 3.3/5-V system interfaces. |
| Bias voltage (BIASV) | 1.3 V to VCC - user-selectable precharge level to match termination or reduce ground bounce during insertion. |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded and telecom equipment environments. |
| Input leakage current | ±5 µA max - guarantees stable enable/disable control under noisy or high-impedance PCB trace conditions. |
| Off-state capacitance (Co(OFF)) | 4.5 pF - minimizes capacitive loading and crosstalk when switch is disabled. |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBT6800DBLE uses a 24-pin Plastic Shrink Small-Outline (DB) package with 300-mil body width and standard JEDEC MO-153 footprint. Pin spacing is 0.65 mm, and package thickness is 1.2 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 24 | ON\ (Active-Low Enable) | Controls switch state: low = A↔B connected; high = A-B open, B precharged to BIASV. |
| 2–11 | A1–A10 | Port A bidirectional data terminals - connect to upstream bus or controller side. |
| 13–22 | B1–B10 | Port B bidirectional data terminals - connect to hot-pluggable module or downstream side. |
| 12 | GND | Power ground reference for all internal FETs and bias circuitry. |
| 23 | VCC | Positive supply (4–5.5 V) powering switch core and precharge logic. |
| 13 | BIASV | User-supplied bias voltage (1.3 V to VCC) setting precharge level for B-port during disable. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precharged B-port outputs | Reduces live-insertion noise by holding B1–B10 at user-defined BIASV instead of floating during hot-swap events. |
| Low on-state resistance | 5 Ω typical ensures <10 mV drop at 2 mA, preserving signal integrity in 5-V TTL and LVTTL buses. |
| TTL-compatible control | VIL ≤ 0.8 V / VIH ≥ 2.0 V allows direct interfacing with legacy 5-V microcontrollers and FPGA I/O without level shifters. |
| Bidirectional signal routing | No direction pin required - data flows A→B or B→A with identical timing and resistance characteristics. |
| Industrial temperature range | –40°C to +85°C operation verified per JEDEC JESD22-A108, supporting deployment in uncontrolled environments. |
Applications
| Modular Backplane Systems | Hot-Swappable I/O Cards |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-latency pass-through switch enabling dynamic reconfiguration of memory access paths without clock domain crossing. Use Value: Achieves <0.3 ns added delay-negligible vs. typical SDRAM tAC-preserving timing margins in high-bandwidth memory subsystems. |
Use Scenario: Interfacing 3.3-V FPGA I/O to legacy 5-V peripherals (e.g., EEPROM, UART) in mixed-voltage embedded designs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-tolerant bidirectional buffer using BIASV = 3.3 V to clamp B-port while A-port operates at 5 V. Use Value: Avoids discrete resistor networks or dedicated level translators, reducing BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained designs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTD3384DBR | 12-bit, dual-supply (VCCA = 2.3–3.6 V, VCCB = 3–5.5 V), no BIASV pin, higher ron (9 Ω typ). | Supports asymmetric voltage translation (e.g., 3.3-V FPGA ↔ 5-V peripheral); lacks live-insertion precharge. | Select when voltage-level translation is required over live-insertion noise suppression. |
| SN74CBTS3384PWR | 12-bit, higher drive strength (128 mA), 3.3-V only (VCC = 2.3–3.6 V), no BIASV, faster tpd (0.18 ns). | Optimized for low-voltage, high-speed digital systems (e.g., DDR memory buffers); not rated for 5-V operation. | Select for 3.3-V-only designs prioritizing speed and current drive over hot-swap capability. |
Compared with SN74CBT6800DBLE, SN74CBTD3384DBR adds dual-supply translation but removes precharge functionality, while SN74CBTS3384PWR improves speed and current handling at the cost of 5-V compatibility and live-insertion support-making SN74CBT6800DBLE uniquely suited for industrial hot-swap 5-V bus isolation.

FAQ
What is the function of the BIASV pin on the SN74CBT6800DBLE?
The BIASV pin on the SN74CBT6800DBLE supplies a user-selectable bias voltage (1.3 V to VCC) that precharges the B-port outputs to minimize signal distortion and ground bounce during live insertion. When the ON\ input is high, the internal ~10-kΩ equivalent resistor pulls B1–B10 to BIASV, preventing floating states. This feature is critical for reliable hot-swap operation in modular systems and is explicitly defined in the SN74CBT6800DBLE datasheet's functional description and bias voltage specification table.
Is the SN74CBT6800DBLE pin-compatible with other CBT-family bus switches?
No, the SN74CBT6800DBLE is not pin-compatible with other CBT-family devices such as SN74CBTD3384 or SN74CBTS3384 due to differing pin assignments-including dedicated BIASV on pin 13 and unique ON\ placement on pin 1. The SN74CBT6800DBLE uses a 24-pin DB package with A1–A10 (pins 2–11), B1–B10 (pins 13–22), ON\ (pin 1), BIASV (pin 13), VCC (pin 23), and GND (pin 12), as confirmed in the official TI datasheet SCDS005J top-view diagram.
What is the maximum continuous current rating per channel for the SN74CBT6800DBLE?
The SN74CBT6800DBLE has a maximum continuous channel current rating of 128 mA per switch path, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the SCDS005J datasheet. This rating applies under steady-state DC conditions and is independent of switching frequency. Exceeding this value risks thermal overstress and permanent device degradation, and must be verified against actual application current profiles including peak transients.
Does the SN74CBT6800DBLE support bidirectional signal flow without external direction control?
Yes, the SN74CBT6800DBLE supports fully bidirectional signal flow between A and B ports without any direction-control pin. Its FET-based architecture provides symmetrical on-resistance (5 Ω typical) and propagation delay (0.25 ns max) in both directions. This is confirmed in the device description stating "bidirectional connections" and the logic diagram showing A1–A10 and B1–B10 as interchangeable signal paths when ON\ is asserted-no additional control logic is needed for direction management in the SN74CBT6800DBLE.
What is the thermal impedance (θJA) of the SN74CBT6800DBLE in its DB package?
The thermal impedance (θJA) of the SN74CBT6800DBLE in the DB package is 104°C/W, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section of the SCDS005J datasheet. This value is measured per JESD 51 standards and reflects junction-to-ambient performance under standard PCB mounting conditions (single-layer copper, 1-in² pad). Designers must use this parameter to calculate junction temperature rise under worst-case power dissipation to ensure operation within the –40°C to +85°C ambient range for the SN74CBT6800DBLE.
