Product details
Overview
SN74CBT6800DW from Texas Instruments is a 10-bit TTL-compatible bus switch with precharged B-port outputs for live insertion, 5-Ω on-state resistance, ±128 mA continuous channel current, and operation from –40°C to 85°C. It enables bidirectional signal routing between A and B ports under single ON control in industrial backplane and hot-swap subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT6800DW datasheet, SN74CBT6800DW pinout, SN74CBT6800DW application, or SN74CBT6800DW equivalent, key selection criteria include live-insertion noise suppression via user-selectable BIASV bias voltage, sub-nanosecond propagation delay (0.25 ns), and DW-package thermal performance (1.7 W max at 55°C).
Technical Context
The SN74CBT6800DW implements a single-enable 10-bit analog bus switch architecture with low-resistance MOSFET-based pass gates. Its on-state resistance (5–7 Ω typical) ensures minimal signal attenuation and near-zero propagation delay (0.25 ns) across A↔B paths under 50-pF load conditions.
During disable (ON = high), the B port is actively precharged to a user-supplied BIASV voltage (1.3 V to VCC) through an internal ~10-kΩ equivalent resistor, suppressing floating-node transients during hot-plug events. Input and output levels are TTL-compatible, supporting direct interfacing with legacy logic families without level translation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (rON) | 5–7 Ω at VCC = 4.5 V - ensures minimal voltage drop and signal distortion for 3.3 V/5 V digital buses |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.25 ns - enables high-speed data transfer without timing budget impact in >1 GHz clock domains |
| BIASV range | 1.3 V to VCC - allows precise precharge voltage selection to match system I/O thresholds and reduce ground bounce |
| Continuous channel current | ±128 mA - supports robust drive capability for heavily loaded backplane traces or stubbed interconnects |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to 85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded systems and telecom line cards |
| Supply voltage (VCC) | 4 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V logic rails and tolerant of supply droop |
| Input clamp current | –50 mA - protects against negative transient overvoltage during live insertion |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBT6800DW is housed in a 24-pin SOIC (Small-Outline Integrated Circuit) package, designated DW by Texas Instruments. This surface-mount package measures 7.5 mm × 15.4 mm with 1.27 mm lead pitch and provides full thermal derating up to 1.7 W at 55°C ambient.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ON (Pin 1) | Enable control input | Active-low logic signal enabling/disabling all 10 A↔B switches simultaneously |
| A1–A10 (Pins 2–11) | Port A data inputs/outputs | Bidirectional TTL-compatible terminals connected directly to upstream logic or controller |
| GND (Pin 12) | Ground reference | Primary return path for switch current and bias network; must be low-inductance connection |
| VCC (Pin 13) | Power supply | Provides operating voltage for internal logic and switch bias circuitry; bypassing required |
| B1–B10 (Pins 14–23) | Port B data inputs/outputs | Bidirectional terminals precharged to BIASV when disabled; connect to hot-swappable modules |
| BIASV (Pin 24) | Bias voltage input | User-supplied voltage (1.3 V to VCC) setting precharge level for B-port during disable state |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precharged B-port outputs | Reduces live-insertion noise by holding B1–B10 at stable BIASV instead of floating, eliminating bus contention during hot-plug |
| Low 5–7 Ω on-state resistance | Minimizes insertion loss and maintains signal integrity for high-speed parallel buses up to 100 MHz |
| TTL-compatible I/O levels | Direct interface with 74LS, 74ALS, and other legacy logic families without external level shifters |
| Single ON enable control | Simplifies PCB layout and firmware control by consolidating 10-channel switching into one GPIO signal |
| –40°C to 85°C operation | Validated performance across extended industrial temperature range for telecom and factory automation use |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTD6800DW | Includes bus-hold circuitry on B-port; higher ICC (100 µA vs. 50 µA); same rON and timing | Eliminates need for external pull-ups on B-port but increases quiescent current | Choose when B-port nodes require deterministic idle-state logic levels without external resistors |
| 74CBTLV6800PW | Lower VCC range (2.3–3.6 V); 3.3 V only; smaller PW package; 4 Ω rON | Designed for low-voltage portable or battery-powered systems, not 5 V industrial backplanes | Choose only for 3.3 V systems requiring reduced power and footprint; not a drop-in replacement for SN74CBT6800DW |
Compared with SN74CBT6800DW, SN74CBTD6800DW adds bus-hold functionality at the cost of higher supply current, while 74CBTLV6800PW targets 3.3 V operation with improved rON but incompatible voltage range and package thermal profile.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable BIASV voltage for the SN74CBT6800DW?
The SN74CBT6800DW specifies a BIASV range of 1.3 V to VCC, with absolute maximum rating of –0.5 V to 6 V. For reliable operation, BIASV must not exceed the applied VCC voltage. At VCC = 5.5 V, BIASV may be set up to 5.5 V; exceeding this risks damage to internal precharge circuitry. Always reference the recommended operating conditions table in the SCDS005G datasheet for design margin.
Can the SN74CBT6800DW operate with a 3.3 V supply?
No, the SN74CBT6800DW is not rated for 3.3 V operation. Its recommended VCC range is 4 V to 5.5 V, and minimum functional VCC is 4 V per the datasheet. Attempting 3.3 V operation results in undefined switching behavior, increased rON, and potential failure to meet timing or drive specifications. For 3.3 V systems, consider TI's 74CBTLV6800PW instead.
How does the SN74CBT6800DW suppress noise during live insertion?
The SN74CBT6800DW suppresses live-insertion noise by precharging its B-port outputs (B1–B10) to a user-defined BIASV voltage via an internal ~10-kΩ resistor when the ON pin is high. This prevents B-port pins from floating, eliminating ground bounce, bus contention, and ESD-triggered latch-up during hot-plug events-critical for modular telecom and industrial systems.
What is the thermal performance difference between DW and DB packages for the SN74CBT6800DW?
The DW package (SOIC) has a maximum power dissipation of 1.7 W at 55°C ambient, significantly higher than the DB (shrink SOIC) package's 0.6 W rating. This makes the SN74CBT6800DW more suitable for thermally demanding applications where sustained current flow or limited airflow exists, such as dense backplane slots or enclosed industrial enclosures.
Is the SN74CBT6800DW pin-compatible with other 24-pin bus switches like the SN74CBT3245?
No, the SN74CBT6800DW is not pin-compatible with SN74CBT3245. The SN74CBT6800DW uses a dedicated 10-bit A/B architecture with ON enable and BIASV bias input (Pin 24), whereas SN74CBT3245 is an octal switch with dual OE controls and no BIASV pin. Pin mapping, function allocation, and package pinout differ fundamentally-PCB redesign is required for substitution.
