Product details
Overview
SN74CBT6800DBR from Texas Instruments is a 10-bit TTL-compatible bus switch with precharged B-port outputs for live insertion, 5-Ω on-state resistance, bidirectional signal routing, and operation from –40°C to 85°C. It enables hot-plug-capable interconnects in backplane and modular system architectures.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT6800DBR datasheet, SN74CBT6800DBR pinout, SN74CBT6800DBR application, or SN74CBT6800DBR equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance (5–7 Ω), precharge bias voltage range (1.3 V to VCC), propagation delay (<0.25 ns), live-insertion noise suppression, and DB-package footprint compatibility with legacy small-outline layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74CBT6800DBR implements a single 10-bit bidirectional switch controlled by one active-low enable (ON) input. When enabled, it establishes low-distortion signal paths between A1–A10 and B1–B10 ports via sub-7-Ω MOSFET switches. Its precharge circuitry pulls B-port outputs to a user-supplied BIASV voltage through ~10-kΩ equivalent resistance when disabled.
This architecture eliminates floating-bus transients during hot-swap events and maintains TTL-compatible logic thresholds at both ports. The device operates across 4 V to 5.5 V VCC and supports BIASV from 1.3 V to VCC, enabling interoperability with mixed-voltage systems including 3.3-V and 5-V domains.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (rON) | 5–7 Ω typical; ensures minimal voltage drop and signal attenuation across bidirectional data paths. |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | <0.25 ns at 5 V; enables high-speed switching without timing budget impact in fast bus applications. |
| BIASV range | 1.3 V to VCC; allows precharge alignment with downstream logic thresholds in mixed-voltage systems. |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to 85°C; qualified for industrial-grade embedded and telecom infrastructure use. |
| Supply voltage (VCC) | 4 V to 5.5 V; compatible with standard 5-V TTL and 3.3-V tolerant I/O interfaces. |
| Off-state capacitance (CO(OFF)) | 4.5 pF; minimizes capacitive loading and crosstalk when switch is disabled. |
| Input leakage current | ±5 µA max; reduces static power draw and prevents unintended biasing in high-impedance states. |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBT6800DBR is housed in a 24-pin Plastic Shrink Small-Outline (DB) package, measuring 10.3 mm × 5.3 mm × 1.95 mm, with 0.65-mm lead pitch and surface-mount gull-wing leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ON (Pin 1) | Active-low enable control | Drives internal switch array; low = A↔B connection, high = B-port precharge to BIASV. |
| A1–A10 (Pins 2–11) | Port A data inputs/outputs | Bidirectional TTL-compatible I/O; connects directly to upstream bus or controller. |
| GND (Pin 12) | Ground reference | Common return path for VCC, BIASV, and signal currents; must be low-inductance. |
| VCC (Pin 13) | Power supply | Supplies internal logic and switch driver circuitry; requires local 0.1-µF decoupling. |
| B1–B10 (Pins 14–23) | Port B data inputs/outputs | Bidirectional port with precharge capability; connects to hot-swappable module or backplane stub. |
| BIASV (Pin 24) | B-port precharge voltage source | User-supplied bias sets precharge level; must be stable and low-noise to suppress live-insertion glitches. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precharged B-port outputs | Eliminates floating-bus noise during hot-swap by actively pulling B1–B10 to BIASV via ~10-kΩ equivalent resistance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTD6800DBR | Includes power-down mode (IOFF protection); higher off-isolation (>50 dB); 6-V absolute max rating. | Required for systems needing IOFF protection during power sequencing or battery-backed standby. | Choose when bus isolation during power loss or partial shutdown is mandatory. |
| 74CBTLV6800PW | Lower VCC range (2.3–3.6 V); 3.3-V only; smaller PW package; no BIASV pin - uses internal 1.2-V precharge. | Suitable only for 3.3-V-only designs; lacks user-adjustable BIASV for mixed-voltage flexibility. | Choose for cost-sensitive, single-voltage 3.3-V systems where external BIASV control is unnecessary. |
Compared with SN74CBT6800DBR, SN74CBTD6800DBR adds IOFF protection for robust power sequencing, while 74CBTLV6800PW sacrifices BIASV adjustability and voltage range for lower voltage operation and reduced footprint - making SN74CBT6800DBR optimal for industrial hot-swap and mixed-voltage backplanes.

FAQ
What is the function of the BIASV pin on the SN74CBT6800DBR?
The BIASV pin on the SN74CBT6800DBR supplies the user-selectable precharge voltage for the B-port outputs (B1–B10) when the device is disabled (ON = high). This voltage, ranging from 1.3 V to VCC, actively pulls B-port lines to a known state to eliminate floating-bus noise during live insertion. For reliable operation, BIASV must be stable and sourced from a low-impedance node; the SN74CBT6800DBR draws negligible current from this pin under steady-state conditions.
Does the SN74CBT6800DBR support bidirectional signal flow?
Yes, the SN74CBT6800DBR supports fully bidirectional signal flow between its A and B ports. When enabled (ON = low), the 10 internal MOSFET switches create low-resistance (5–7 Ω) paths that allow data to pass equally well from A1–A10 to B1–B10 or vice versa. No direction control pins or external biasing are required - signal direction is determined solely by the driving source on either side, making the SN74CBT6800DBR ideal for shared-bus topologies.
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the SN74CBT6800DBR?
The SN74CBT6800DBR is characterized for operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature, meeting industrial-grade environmental requirements. This range is validated per TI's recommended operating conditions and applies across the full specified VCC (4 V to 5.5 V) and BIASV (1.3 V to VCC) ranges. The device's thermal performance in the DB package supports continuous operation at 85°C with appropriate PCB copper area and airflow, as confirmed in TI's Package Thermal Considerations documentation for the SN74CBT6800DBR.
Can the SN74CBT6800DBR be used in 3.3-V systems?
Yes, the SN74CBT6800DBR can be used in 3.3-V systems provided VCC is set to 3.3 V - but only if that voltage falls within the device's minimum VCC specification of 4 V. Since 3.3 V is below the 4-V minimum, the SN74CBT6800DBR is not rated for direct 3.3-V VCC operation. However, it supports interfacing with 3.3-V logic via its TTL-compatible inputs and BIASV-adjustable precharge - when powered from a compliant 4–5.5-V supply. For native 3.3-V operation, consider the 74CBTLV6800PW instead of the SN74CBT6800DBR.
How does the SN74CBT6800DBR minimize noise during live insertion?
The SN74CBT6800DBR minimizes live-insertion noise primarily through its B-port precharge architecture: when disabled (ON = high), the B1–B10 outputs are actively pulled to the user-supplied BIASV voltage via an internal ~10-kΩ equivalent resistor, preventing floating nodes and associated ESD-induced transients. Combined with low on-state resistance (5–7 Ω) and sub-0.25-ns propagation delay, this ensures clean signal transitions and eliminates bus contention during mechanical mating - a key requirement verified in telecom and industrial hot-swap standards. The SN74CBT6800DBR achieves this without external components or timing constraints.
