Product details
Overview
SN74CBTD1G125 from Texas Instruments is a single-channel FET bus switch with integrated level shifting, designed for bidirectional signal routing between 5-V and 3.3-V logic domains. It features 5-Ω on-state resistance, 0.25-ns propagation delay, TTL-compatible control inputs, and operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply. It is used in voltage-level translation for I²C, SMBus, and low-voltage microcontroller interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBTD1G125 datasheet, SN74CBTD1G125 pinout, SN74CBTD1G125 application, or SN74CBTD1G125 equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance matching, level-shifting capability across VCC = 5 V, fast enable/disable timing (2–5.9 ns), and SOT-23 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74CBTD1G125 implements a single NMOS pass-gate switch controlled by an active-low OE input, enabling bidirectional signal flow between A and B ports when enabled. Its internal VCC-referenced diode enables 5-V-to-3.3-V level shifting without external components.
It supports hot-swap operation with no DC path between ports when disabled, exhibits latch-up immunity exceeding 100 mA per JESD 78 Class II, and maintains ESD robustness per JESD 22 (2000-V HBM, 200-V MM). The device operates over –40°C to 85°C and requires no pull-up resistors on control inputs when tied to VCC or GND.
Key Specifications

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OE | Output-enable control input | Active-low logic signal; drives switch ON when low (≤0.8 V), OFF when high (≥2 V) |
| 2 - A | Port A terminal | Bidirectional signal path; accepts 5-V inputs and outputs 3.3-V levels via internal level-shifting diode |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Return path for control logic and switch current; must be low-impedance for stable switching |
| 4 - B | Port B terminal | Bidirectional signal path; connects to 3.3-V domain; voltage follows A when enabled |
| 5 - VCC | Power supply | 5-V rail powering internal circuitry and defining level-shift reference; decoupling capacitor required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated level shifting | Enables direct 5-V-to-3.3-V bidirectional translation without external resistors or translators |
| Low on-resistance (5 Ω) | Minimizes insertion loss and preserves rise/fall times for signals up to 100 MHz |
| TTL-compatible OE input | Accepts standard 5-V logic thresholds (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V), simplifying interface with legacy controllers |
| Hot-swap capable | No power-on sequencing required; OE can be toggled while A/B ports are live, preventing bus contention |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 100 mA per JESD 78 Class II, ensuring reliability in noisy industrial environments |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone voltage bridge replacing custom discrete solutions, maintaining signal fidelity across mixed-rail subsystems. Use Value: Delivers guaranteed 5-Ω Ron and 0.25-ns tpd-critical for preserving edge rates in high-speed serial links. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FET bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G125DBVR | CMOS buffer (non-level-shifting), 3.3-V only I/O, no VCC-referenced diode | Requires external level shifters for 5-V interface; unsuitable for bidirectional 5-V↔3.3-V translation | Select only if operating exclusively in 3.3-V domain with no mixed-voltage requirement |
| TS3A24157RGTR | Dual SPDT analog switch, 0.7-Ω Ron, 1.65–3.6-V supply, no 5-V tolerance | Cannot accept 5-V inputs; lacks integrated level-shifting diode; requires external biasing for 5-V systems | Prefer for low-Ron analog signal routing below 3.6 V; not a functional substitute for SN74CBTD1G125's 5-V input capability |
Compared with SN74CBTD1G125, SN74LVC1G125DBVR lacks level shifting and 5-V input tolerance, while TS3A24157RGTR offers lower Ron but no 5-V compatibility-making SN74CBTD1G125 uniquely suited for robust 5-V-to-3.3-V bidirectional digital translation in compact SOT-23 form.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating for SN74CBTD1G125DBVR?
The SN74CBTD1G125DBVR supports a continuous channel current of 128 mA, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating applies under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V, TA = –40°C to 85°C) and assumes proper PCB thermal design. Exceeding this current may cause thermal stress or degradation of the on-state resistance performance in SN74CBTD1G125DBVR.
Does SN74CBTD1G125DBVR support bidirectional signal flow?
Yes, SN74CBTD1G125DBVR supports true bidirectional signal flow between its A and B ports when the OE pin is asserted low. The FET-based architecture provides symmetrical conduction-no directionality is imposed by the device itself. Signal direction is determined solely by the driving source on either side, making SN74CBTD1G125DBVR ideal for I²C, SMBus, and other bidirectional protocols.
Can SN74CBTD1G125DBVR translate 3.3-V signals to 5-V levels?
No, SN74CBTD1G125DBVR performs only 5-V-to-3.3-V level shifting via its integrated VCC-referenced diode. When a 5-V signal is applied to the A port, the B port outputs ~3.3 V. Applying 3.3 V to B does not raise A to 5 V-the device is unidirectional in level-shifting capability. For reverse translation, a separate solution such as SN74AVC2T244 is required alongside SN74CBTD1G125DBVR.
What is the recommended decoupling for SN74CBTD1G125DBVR?
A 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the VCC (Pin 5) and GND (Pin 3) pins is recommended for SN74CBTD1G125DBVR. This minimizes supply noise and ensures stable switching performance, especially during fast enable/disable transitions. For systems with multiple SN74CBTD1G125DBVR devices or high-frequency switching, a bulk 4.7-µF tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor near the power entry point further improves stability.
Is SN74CBTD1G125DBVR pin-compatible with other 5-pin SOT-23 bus switches?
SN74CBTD1G125DBVR uses the standard DBV (SOT-23) 5-pin pinout: Pin 1 = OE, Pin 2 = A, Pin 3 = GND, Pin 4 = B, Pin 5 = VCC. This matches TI's industry-standard logic switch pinout and is mechanically compatible with PCB footprints for SN74LVC1G125DBVR and SN74AUP1G125DBVR-but those parts lack level-shifting capability. Electrical compatibility requires verifying control logic thresholds and voltage domain alignment before substitution.
