Product details
Overview
SN74CBT6800PWR from Texas Instruments is a 10-bit bidirectional bus switch with precharged B-port outputs for live insertion, featuring 5-Ω on-state resistance, TTL-compatible I/O levels, and operation from –40°C to 85°C. It enables zero-delay signal routing between A and B ports under low-enable control in industrial backplane and hot-swap subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBT6800PWR datasheet, SN74CBT6800PWR pinout, SN74CBT6800PWR application, or SN74CBT6800PWR equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance (5–7 Ω), BIASV bias voltage range (1.3 V to VCC), precharge-enabled live-insertion noise suppression, and PW-package thermal dissipation (0.7 W at 55°C).
Technical Context
The SN74CBT6800PWR implements a single 10-bit switch with one active-low enable (ON) controlling bidirectional conduction between A1–A10 and B1–B10 ports. When enabled, it delivers near-zero propagation delay (0.25 ns typical) via low-ron MOSFET-based switching architecture.
Its precharge function applies BIASV through an internal ~10-kΩ equivalent resistor to B-port outputs during disable, minimizing ground bounce and signal distortion during hot-plug events. Bias voltage must be set between 1.3 V and VCC (4–5.5 V), and absolute limits restrict BIASV to –0.5 V to 6 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (ron) | 5–7 Ω at VCC = 4.5 V, ensuring minimal voltage drop and signal attenuation across switched paths |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.25 ns typical (CL = 50 pF), enabling high-speed data bus isolation without timing penalty |
| BIASV input range | 1.3 V to VCC (4–5.5 V), defining user-selectable precharge level for live-insertion noise control |
| Supply voltage (VCC) | 4 V to 5.5 V, compatible with 5-V TTL and mixed-voltage system interfaces |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C, supporting industrial-grade reliability in embedded control and telecom infrastructure |
| Input clamp current | ±50 mA max, specifying safe transient overvoltage handling capability at control and I/O pins |
| Power dissipation (PW pkg) | 0.7 W at TA = 55°C, constraining thermal design margin for PCB layout in dense layouts |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBT6800PWR uses a 24-pin Thin Shrink Small-Outline (PW) package (5.0 mm × 6.2 mm, 0.65 mm pitch), optimized for space-constrained board designs while maintaining full 10-bit bus functionality and thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ON (Pin 1) | Active-low enable input | Drives internal switch ON when low; disables A–B path and activates B-port precharge when high |
| A1–A10 (Pins 2–11) | Port A bidirectional I/O | Connects directly to upstream logic or controller; TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) |
| GND (Pin 12) | Ground reference | Primary return path for switch current and bias circuit; must be low-impedance for noise control |
| VCC (Pin 13) | Positive supply | Powers internal switch logic and output drivers; requires local 0.1-µF decoupling |
| B1–B10 (Pins 14–23) | Port B bidirectional I/O | Precharged to BIASV during disable; carries live-insertion-sensitive signals in backplane applications |
| BIASV (Pin 24) | Bias voltage input | Sets precharge level for B-port; must be externally sourced within 1.3 V to VCC range |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 10-bit bidirectional switching | Enables full-width data bus isolation without direction control logic or external buffers |
| 5-Ω on-state resistance | Minimizes IR drop and signal degradation across high-speed parallel interfaces up to 100 MHz |
| Precharged B-port outputs | Reduces ground bounce and false triggering during hot-swap by holding B-lines at stable BIASV |
| TTL-compatible I/O levels | Direct interface with legacy 5-V microcontrollers, FPGAs, and ASICs without level-shifting |
| PW package footprint | Delivers same 24-pin I/O count as standard SOIC but in <50% PCB area, easing high-density routing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTD6800PWR | Includes 3.3-V tolerant inputs; higher ICC (100 µA max); identical ron, tpd, and PW package | Required for mixed-voltage systems with 3.3-V control logic driving 5-V bus; not needed in pure 5-V designs | Select SN74CBTD6800PWR only if VIH/VIL thresholds must support 3.3-V signaling while retaining 5-V bus operation |
| 74LVC4066PW,118 | Quad SPST switch; 10-Ω ron; no BIASV precharge; 3.3-V only; different pinout and control logic | Suitable for low-pin-count, non-live-insertion analog/digital switching; lacks 10-bit coherency and hot-swap support | Choose only for cost-sensitive, low-channel-count applications where precharge and bus-width alignment are unnecessary |
Compared with SN74CBT6800PWR, SN74CBTD6800PWR adds 3.3-V input compatibility at higher quiescent current, while 74LVC4066PW,118 offers lower integration density and no live-insertion capability-making SN74CBT6800PWR optimal for 10-bit, 5-V, hot-swap-critical systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable BIASV voltage for SN74CBT6800PWR?
The absolute maximum BIASV voltage for SN74CBT6800PWR is 6 V, but the recommended operating range is 1.3 V to VCC (4–5.5 V). Exceeding 6 V risks permanent damage per the absolute maximum ratings table. For reliable live-insertion noise suppression, BIASV should be set near the expected B-port logic-high level-typically 2.4 V to 3.3 V when VCC = 5 V. The SN74CBT6800PWR datasheet specifies this limit explicitly in Section "Absolute Maximum Ratings".
Does SN74CBT6800PWR support bidirectional signal flow without direction control pins?
Yes, SN74CBT6800PWR supports fully bidirectional signal flow between A and B ports with no direction control required-the switch conducts equally in both directions when ON is low. This eliminates external direction logic and simplifies PCB routing in bus-isolation applications. Its MOSFET-based topology ensures symmetric ron (5–7 Ω) and tpd (0.25 ns) regardless of signal direction. The SN74CBT6800PWR function table confirms "Connect" for both A→B and B→A paths under low ON.
Can SN74CBT6800PWR operate with a 3.3-V supply instead of 5 V?
No, SN74CBT6800PWR is not rated for 3.3-V operation: its minimum recommended VCC is 4 V, and characterization is specified only from –40°C to 85°C at 4–5.5 V. Using 3.3 V violates the "Recommended Operating Conditions" and may cause undefined switching behavior or failure to drive TTL loads reliably. For 3.3-V systems, consider SN74CBTD6800PWR, which shares the same PW package and pinout but supports 3.3-V inputs. The SN74CBT6800PWR datasheet states VCC MIN = 4 V explicitly.
What is the thermal limitation of SN74CBT6800PWR in the PW package?
The SN74CBT6800PWR in the PW package has a maximum power dissipation of 0.7 W at TA = 55°C in still air, based on a junction temperature limit of 150°C. This value assumes standard JEDEC board trace conditions (750 mils). To maintain reliability, designers must ensure adequate copper pour, avoid adjacent heat sources, and verify junction temperature using θJA = 114°C/W (calculated from 0.7 W and 80°C ∆T). The SN74CBT6800PWR thermal data appears in the "Absolute Maximum Ratings" table.
How does the precharge function of SN74CBT6800PWR reduce live-insertion noise?
The SN74CBT6800PWR reduces live-insertion noise by precharging B-port outputs to BIASV via an internal ~10-kΩ equivalent resistor when ON is high-holding lines at a stable DC level instead of floating. This prevents ground bounce, false triggering, and bus contention during connector mating/unmating. Measured noise reduction is confirmed by suppressed transients in hot-swap testing per TI application notes. The SN74CBT6800PWR datasheet describes this mechanism in the "description" and "Function Table" sections.
