Product details
Overview
SN74CBTD1G125DCKT from Texas Instruments is a single-channel FET bus switch with level-shifting capability, designed for bidirectional signal routing between 5-V and 3.3-V logic domains. It features 5-Ω on-state resistance, <5 ns enable/disable timing, TTL-compatible control input (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V), and operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply. It is used in voltage-level translation for data buses in industrial microcontroller interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBTD1G125DCKT datasheet, SN74CBTD1G125DCKT pinout, SN74CBTD1G125DCKT application, or SN74CBTD1G125DCKT equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance matching, level-shift directionality (5 V → 3.3 V), OE-controlled isolation, and SC-70 package thermal performance (θJA = 252°C/W).
Technical Context
The SN74CBTD1G125DCKT implements a single NMOS transmission gate with integrated VCC-referenced diode for passive level shifting - enabling 5-V inputs to drive 3.3-V outputs without external biasing. Its OE pin controls conduction state with active-low logic (OE = L enables A↔B path; OE = H disconnects).
It supports bidirectional signal flow with no internal direction control, relies on external voltage domain management, and exhibits sub-nanosecond propagation delay (tpd = 0.25 ns) due to low Ron–CL time constant. The device complies with JESD 22 ESD standards (2000-V HBM, 200-V MM) and exceeds 100 mA latch-up immunity per JESD 78 Class II.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (ron) | 5 Ω typical at VCC = 4.5 V, 30 mA - ensures minimal voltage drop and signal integrity in high-speed digital paths |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.25 ns max at CL = 50 pF - supports >1 GHz signal switching in short-trace applications |
| Enable time (ten) | 2–5.9 ns - defines minimum pulse width for reliable OE-controlled bus activation |
| Supply voltage (VCC) | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - matches standard 5-V logic rails while enabling 3.3-V output compatibility |
| Input voltage range (VI) | –0.5 V to 7 V - accommodates overvoltage transients and mixed-voltage interface margins |
| ESD rating (HBM) | 2000 V - meets industrial I/O robustness requirements without external protection |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for extended industrial ambient conditions |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBTD1G125DCKT uses the SC-70 (DCK) 5-pin surface-mount package (2.47 mm × 2.3 mm × 1.25 mm, 1.1 mm max height), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OE | Output-enable control input | Active-low logic: OE = low enables A↔B conduction; OE = high isolates ports with high-impedance state |
| 2 - A | Port A terminal | Bidirectional signal node - connects to 5-V domain source or sink; integrates clamp diode to VCC |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Power return path for internal circuitry and ESD protection network |
| 4 - B | Port B terminal | Bidirectional signal node - connects to 3.3-V domain load; level-shifted output when A driven at 5 V |
| 5 - VCC | Positive supply | 5-V rail input that biases internal diode and defines output high-level threshold (VOH ≈ VCC – 0.3 V) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated level-shifting diode | Enables passive 5-V-to-3.3-V translation without external components or bias networks |
| TTL-compatible OE input | Accepts standard 5-V TTL logic thresholds (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V), eliminating need for level translators on control line |
| Low on-state resistance | 5 Ω typical minimizes RC delay and signal attenuation in high-frequency data paths up to 100 MHz |
| Fast switching performance | Sub-6 ns enable/disable times support burst-mode or strobed bus architectures with tight timing budgets |
| Robust ESD protection | 2000-V HBM rating reduces risk of field failure during handling and system integration |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FET bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G125DCKR | CMOS-based, no integrated level-shifting diode; requires external bias for 5-V→3.3-V translation | Limited to same-voltage-domain buffering; unsuitable for mixed-rail translation without added components | Select when only 3.3-V-only signal gating is needed and board space allows external bias network |
| TS3A27518EYFFR | 3-channel, 0.7-Ω Ron, supports 1.65–5.5 V dual-supply operation; no built-in VCC-referenced diode | Requires dual supplies for true level shifting; higher channel count but larger 16-pin QFN footprint | Select when multi-channel routing and lower Ron are prioritized over single-channel compactness and passive translation |
Compared with SN74CBTD1G125DCKT, SN74LVC1G125DCKR lacks native level shifting and demands external circuitry for cross-voltage use, while TS3A27518EYFFR offers superior Ron and flexibility at the cost of complexity, size, and supply configuration overhead.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating for SN74CBTD1G125DCKT?
The SN74CBTD1G125DCKT supports a continuous channel current of 128 mA, verified under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V, TA = –40°C to +85°C). This rating applies to steady-state conduction through the A–B path and is limited by thermal dissipation in the SC-70 package (θJA = 252°C/W). Exceeding this current may cause junction overheating and parametric shift.
Does SN74CBTD1G125DCKT support bidirectional level shifting?
Yes, SN74CBTD1G125DCKT supports bidirectional signal flow, but its level-shifting function is unidirectional: it translates 5-V signals applied to port A into ~3.3-V compatible levels at port B via the internal VCC-referenced diode. When driven from port B, no level shifting occurs - the device acts as a passive switch with VOH ≈ VCC – 0.3 V regardless of drive direction.
Can SN74CBTD1G125DCKT operate with a 3.3-V supply?
No, SN74CBTD1G125DCKT requires a 4.5-V to 5.5-V supply (VCC) to meet its specified performance - including 5-Ω Ron, 2-V VIH, and integrated diode functionality. Operating below 4.5 V violates recommended conditions and degrades switching speed, increases Ron, and compromises level-shifting behavior. For 3.3-V-only systems, consider SN74LVC1G125DCKR instead.
What is the meaning of "NRND" status for SN74CBTD1G125DCKT?
"NRND" (Not Recommended for New Designs) indicates that SN74CBTD1G125DCKT remains in production and available for purchase, but TI advises against using it in new product development due to roadmap considerations. Existing designs may continue sourcing; Aetrix Electronics maintains inventory and supports lifecycle management for legacy programs requiring this part.
How does the OE pin behave electrically on SN74CBTD1G125DCKT?
The OE pin on SN74CBTD1G125DCKT is an active-low control input with TTL-compatible thresholds: VIH ≥ 2 V disables the switch (A–B high-Z), and VIL ≤ 0.8 V enables conduction. Input leakage is ±1 µA max, and input capacitance is 2 pF. All unused OE pins must be tied to VCC or GND - floating states may cause partial turn-on and increased ICC.
