Product details
Overview
SN74CBTD3861DBR from Texas Instruments is a 10-bit FET bus switch with integrated level-shifting capability, designed for bidirectional signal routing between 5-V and 3.3-V logic domains. It features 5-Ω on-state resistance, TTL-compatible inputs, single OE control, and operates across –40°C to 85°C. Used in mixed-voltage memory/data bus interfaces where low propagation delay and voltage translation are critical.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBTD3861DBR datasheet, SN74CBTD3861DBR pinout, SN74CBTD3861DBR application, or SN74CBTD3861DBR equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance (5–7 Ω), level-shifting diode integration, 0.35 ns typical propagation delay, 2.6–10 ns enable time, and SSOP-24 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements a single 10-bit bidirectional analog switch using NMOS FETs, with internal VCC-referenced clamping diodes enabling 5-V-to-3.3-V level shifting at the outputs. The OE input controls conduction state with active-low logic: low enables A↔B connectivity; high places both ports in high-impedance isolation.
It operates within 4.5–5.5 V supply range and supports ±128 mA continuous channel current. Input clamp current is rated at –50 mA, and thermal resistance (θJA) is 63°C/W for the DB package - critical for thermal management in compact industrial or telecom backplane designs.
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 integrity during high-speed data transfer. |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.35 ns typical - enables sub-nanosecond timing in high-throughput bus switching applications. |
| Enable time (ten) | 2.6–10 ns - defines minimum latency when activating the switch path from OE assertion. |
| Supply voltage (VCC) | 4.5–5.5 V - compatible with standard 5-V systems while supporting tight regulation margins. |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded and communications equipment. |
| Input compatibility | TTL-level (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2 V) - interoperable with legacy 5-V logic without external level translators. |
| Level-shifting capability | 5-V input → 3.3-V output via integrated VCC-clamping diode - eliminates need for discrete translation circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBTD3861DBR uses a 24-pin SSOP (Shrink Small-Outline Package) with 0.65 mm pitch, 7.9 mm × 4.5 mm body size, and 1.2 mm max height per JEDEC MO-153. Pin 1 index is located at top-left corner with quadrants assigned Q1 per tape-and-reel orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 24 | No-connect (NC) | Internally unconnected - must remain floating or grounded per layout best practice; no electrical function. |
| 2–11 | A1–A10 | Port A input/output terminals - connect to upstream 5-V logic domain or controller side of bus. |
| 12 | GND | Power ground reference - requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane for noise immunity. |
| 13 | VCC | 5-V supply input - powers internal switch FETs and clamping diodes; bypass with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor. |
| 14 | OE | Active-low output-enable - drives low to connect A↔B; high to isolate both ports into high-Z state. |
| 15–23 | B1–B10 | Port B input/output terminals - interface to downstream 3.3-V logic, memory, or peripheral side of bus. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated level-shifting diode | Enables direct 5-V-to-3.3-V translation without external components - reduces BOM count and board area. |
| Low on-resistance (5–7 Ω) | Minimizes insertion loss and maintains signal edge fidelity in high-speed parallel buses up to 100 MHz. |
| TTL-compatible control inputs | Eliminates need for additional logic buffers when driven by standard 5-V microcontrollers or FPGAs. |
| Single OE control for all 10 bits | Simplifies timing-critical enable sequencing - avoids skew between channels in synchronous data transfers. |
| High-impedance isolation when disabled | Prevents signal contention and leakage current between disconnected bus segments - essential for hot-swap and power-gating use cases. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT3861DBR | Lacks integrated level-shifting diode; requires external biasing for 5-V-to-3.3-V operation. | Used only in same-voltage-domain switching; unsuitable for mixed-voltage translation without added components. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs level-shifting requirement and external diodes are acceptable. |
| SN74LVC1G3157DCKR | Single-channel SPDT analog switch; 5-V tolerant inputs but no built-in 5→3.3 V translation path. | Applicable only for point-to-point signal routing, not 10-bit parallel bus applications. | Choose for low-pin-count, low-current analog signal switching where bus-wide coordination is unnecessary. |
Compared with SN74CBTD3861DBR, SN74CBT3861DBR removes level-shifting capability - increasing design complexity in mixed-voltage systems - while SN74LVC1G3157DCKR offers no parallel bus functionality, limiting scalability in data-path applications requiring simultaneous multi-bit control.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating per channel for SN74CBTD3861DBR?
The SN74CBTD3861DBR supports up to 128 mA continuous channel current per switched path. This rating applies under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, TA = –40°C to +85°C) and ensures reliable conduction without thermal derating in typical industrial layouts with adequate copper pour.
Does SN74CBTD3861DBR require external pull-up resistors on its control inputs?
No - SN74CBTD3861DBR has TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2 V) and does not require external pull-ups on OE. However, TI recommends holding all unused control inputs at VCC or GND to prevent floating states that may cause increased ICC or erratic switching behavior.
Can SN74CBTD3861DBR be used for 3.3-V-to-5-V level shifting?
No - SN74CBTD3861DBR integrates a diode from each A-terminal to VCC, enabling only 5-V-to-3.3-V translation. Driving B-side inputs with 3.3-V signals while powering VCC at 5 V does not produce valid 5-V outputs; reverse translation requires separate circuitry or a different device such as the SN74AVC4T245.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of SN74CBTD3861DBR in its SSOP-24 package?
The SN74CBTD3861DBR in the DB package has a specified junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 63°C/W under standard JEDEC test conditions. This value assumes a two-layer PCB with 1 in² copper pad per side and is critical for calculating junction temperature rise under worst-case 128 mA channel loading.
Is SN74CBTD3861DBR pin-compatible with other packages in the same family?
Yes - SN74CBTD3861DBR shares identical pinout and signal mapping with SN74CBTD3861DWR (SOIC-24), SN74CBTD3861PWR (TSSOP-24), and SN74CBTD3861DGVR (TVSOP-24). All variants maintain consistent A1–A10, B1–B10, OE, VCC, GND, and NC assignments, enabling drop-in replacement across package types without PCB redesign.
