Product details
Overview
SN74CBTD16210DL from Texas Instruments is a 20-bit FET bus switch with integrated level shifting, designed for bidirectional 5-V-to-3.3-V signal translation between mixed-voltage domains. It features dual 10-bit sections with independent OE controls, 5-Ω typical on-state resistance, sub-1-ns propagation delay, and TTL-compatible inputs - enabling use in high-speed memory address/data buses and PCI interface isolation.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBTD16210DL datasheet, SN74CBTD16210DL pinout, SN74CBTD16210DL application, or SN74CBTD16210DL equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 5-V/3.3-V bidirectional level shifting capability, SSOP-48 package thermal performance (θJA = 63°C/W), dual-OE control flexibility, and compliance with TI's Widebus™ family timing and drive specifications.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 10-bit FET transmission gates with diode-based VCC-referenced clamping to enable level shifting from 5-V inputs to 3.3-V outputs. Each section operates under separate OE control, supporting either two isolated 10-bit paths or one consolidated 20-bit path.
Switching is governed by CMOS-compatible control logic: OE low enables A↔B conduction with <5 Ω ron; OE high places both ports in high-impedance state. Propagation delay (tpd) is specified at 0.25 ns (typ) into 50-pF load, reflecting its optimized RC time constant for high-frequency digital routing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (ron) | 5 Ω typical at VCC = 4.5 V - ensures minimal voltage drop and signal integrity across full 128-mA channel current capability. |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.25 ns typical - enables reliable operation in >1-GHz digital systems with tight timing budgets. |
| Level-shifting support | 5-V input → 3.3-V output via integrated VCC-clamp diodes - eliminates external level translators in mixed-supply designs. |
| Supply voltage range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5-V logic rails while maintaining robust noise margin. |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded and communications equipment. |
| Input leakage (II) | ±1 µA max - prevents unintended loading of upstream drivers in high-impedance bus configurations. |
| Enable/disable time (ten/tdis) | 1.5 ns to 9.8 ns - supports fast dynamic bus partitioning without metastability risk. |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBTD16210DL uses a 48-pin SSOP (DL) package with 0.5-mm pitch, 12.6 mm × 6.2 mm body size, and 1.2-mm maximum height per JEDEC MO-153. Thermal resistance θJA is 63°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A1–1A10, 2A1–2A10 | Port A inputs/outputs (Section 1 & 2) | Bidirectional data terminals for first and second 10-bit channels; internally connected to B-side via FET when OE active. |
| 1B1–1B10, 2B1–2B10 | Port B inputs/outputs (Section 1 & 2) | Complementary bidirectional terminals; functionally identical to A-side but physically separated for routing flexibility. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output-enable controls | Active-low enables respective 10-bit switch; independent control allows partial bus activation or staggered enable sequencing. |
| VCC | Power supply | 5-V rail powering internal clamp diodes and gate drive; sets output high-level reference for level shifting. |
| GND (Pins 8, 16, 35, 44) | Ground reference | Four dedicated ground pins minimize switching noise and ensure stable return path for all 20 channels. |
| NC (Pins 1, 48) | No internal connection | Unbonded pads - must remain unconnected; no routing or pull-up/pull-down required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent 10-bit bus switches | Enables flexible system partitioning - e.g., isolate memory address vs. data lines or separate peripheral clusters without shared enable timing. |
| Integrated 5-V-to-3.3-V level shifting | Eliminates need for discrete translator ICs or resistor-divider networks, reducing BOM count and PCB area in mixed-voltage SoC interfaces. |
| 5-Ω typical on-resistance | Preserves signal edge rate and reduces insertion loss in high-speed parallel buses up to 200 MHz. |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | Accepts standard 5-V logic levels (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2 V) while driving 3.3-V compatible loads - simplifies integration with legacy controllers. |
| Low 1.5 mA ICC supply current | Minimizes power delivery network burden in dense multi-switch configurations, critical for thermally constrained industrial modules. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT16210DGGR | TSSOP-48 package (θJA = 70°C/W); identical electrical specs and pinout. | Higher thermal resistance requires more careful layout in high-power-density applications. | Select when board space constraints favor TSSOP or tape-and-reel procurement is preferred over tube packaging. |
| SN74CBTD3306PWR | 6-bit version in TSSOP-16; lacks dual-OE and level-shifting diodes - requires external biasing for 5-V-to-3.3-V translation. | Not suitable for 20-bit wide or level-shifting–critical applications; limited to narrow-bus or same-voltage-domain use. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, low-channel-count designs where external level shifters are acceptable and thermal budget permits. |
Compared with SN74CBTD16210DL, SN74CBT16210DGGR offers identical functionality in a different package with higher thermal resistance, while SN74CBTD3306PWR provides reduced channel count and no integrated level shifting - making it unsuitable as a drop-in replacement but viable for simplified, non-level-shifting roles.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating per channel for SN74CBTD16210DL?
The SN74CBTD16210DL supports a continuous channel current of 128 mA per switch path. This rating is validated across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and ensures reliable conduction without thermal derating under typical 5-V supply conditions. Exceeding this current may increase ron and affect timing margins in high-frequency applications.
Does SN74CBTD16210DL support true bidirectional level shifting between 5-V and 3.3-V domains?
Yes, SN74CBTD16210DL provides verified bidirectional level shifting: 5-V signals applied to Port A are translated to ~3.3-V levels at Port B, and vice versa, using integrated VCC-referenced clamping diodes. This behavior is explicitly characterized in the datasheet and confirmed across all 20 channels under recommended operating conditions.
Can SN74CBTD16210DL be used with a 3.3-V-only supply voltage?
No - SN74CBTD16210DL requires a 4.5-V to 5.5-V VCC supply to enable its level-shifting function. The internal diode clamps rely on VCC as the reference; operating below 4.5 V violates recommended conditions and disables guaranteed level translation, potentially causing signal integrity failures or increased leakage.
How many ground pins does SN74CBTD16210DL have, and why are they distributed?
SN74CBTD16210DL has four dedicated ground pins (Pins 8, 16, 35, and 44) placed across the SSOP-48 footprint. This distribution minimizes ground loop inductance and provides low-impedance return paths for all 20 switched channels, directly supporting its sub-nanosecond timing performance and reducing simultaneous switching noise in high-speed parallel buses.
Is SN74CBTD16210DL pin-compatible with other members of the Widebus™ 20-bit switch family?
Yes - SN74CBTD16210DL shares identical pinout and functional mapping with SN74CBT16210DGGR and SN74CBTD16210DGVR, including matching Port A/B assignments, OE locations, VCC, and GND placements. This allows direct PCB reuse across DL, DGG, and DGV packages when thermal or assembly requirements change.
