Product details
Overview
SN74CBTD3861PWE4 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, and single OE control enabling high-speed switching (0.35 ns propagation delay) in memory and data-path applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBTD3861PWE4 datasheet, SN74CBTD3861PWE4 pinout, SN74CBTD3861PWE4 application, or SN74CBTD3861PWE4 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 5-Ω Ron, guaranteed level-shifting from 5-V inputs to 3.3-V outputs, OE-controlled high-impedance isolation, and TSSOP-24 package compatibility with industrial temperature range (–40°C to 85°C).
Technical Context
This device implements a single 10-bit bidirectional analog switch using NMOS FETs with integrated VCC-clamp diodes to enable level translation. Its architecture supports simultaneous switching of all ten channels under one active-low OE signal, with no internal latching or direction control logic.
The switch operates within 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply range and maintains low capacitance (4 pF off-state, 2.5 pF control input), minimizing signal integrity degradation in high-frequency data buses. Propagation delay is dominated by RC time constant of Ron and load capacitance, not gate propagation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (Ron) | 5 Ω typical - enables minimal voltage drop and signal distortion across A/B ports at ≤128 mA channel current. |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.35 ns - supports high-speed data transfer without timing bottlenecks in wide-bus systems. |
| Supply voltage (VCC) | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5-V logic rails while enabling safe 3.3-V output level shifting. |
| Input voltage range (VI) | –0.5 V to 7 V - accommodates overvoltage transients and mixed-voltage interface conditions. |
| Off-state capacitance (Cio) | 4 pF - reduces crosstalk and loading on adjacent signal lines during isolation mode. |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to 85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded and computing applications. |
| Control input thresholds | VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2 V - ensures reliable TTL-level compatibility with legacy 5-V controllers. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-24 package (PW), 7.9 mm × 4.5 mm × 1.2 mm body height, lead pitch 0.65 mm, exposed pad not present, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 24 | No-connect (NC) | Internally unconnected - must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice; no electrical function. |
| 2–11 | A1–A10 | Input/output port A - bidirectional signal path connected to B-port when OE is low; accepts 5-V logic inputs. |
| 12 | GND | Ground reference - return path for all internal circuitry and substrate bias; requires low-impedance PCB connection. |
| 13 | VCC | Positive supply - powers internal clamp diodes and switch FETs; must be decoupled near pin with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor. |
| 14 | OE | Active-low output enable - controls all ten switches simultaneously; low = A↔B connected, high = high-Z isolation. |
| 15–23 | B1–B10 | Input/output port B - bidirectional signal path; outputs 3.3-V logic levels when driven from 5-V A-side via integrated diode clamping. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated level-shifting diode | Enables direct 5-V-to-3.3-V signal translation without external components, reducing BOM count and board space. |
| Low on-state resistance | 5 Ω typical Ron minimizes insertion loss and preserves signal edge rates in high-speed parallel buses. |
| TTL-compatible control inputs | VIH = 2 V / VIL = 0.8 V allows direct interfacing with legacy 5-V microcontrollers and FPGAs without level translators. |
| High off-isolation | 4 pF Cio(OFF) limits capacitive coupling between ports during disable, critical for noise-sensitive mixed-signal systems. |
| Single OE architecture | One-pin global enable simplifies timing control and reduces FPGA I/O usage compared to per-channel enable schemes. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus-switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT3861PWR | Same die, tape-and-reel packaging (2000 pcs), identical electrical specs and pinout. | No functional difference; differs only in packaging format and reel quantity. | Select SN74CBTD3861PWR for automated SMT production requiring large-volume reels. |
| SN74LVC1G3157DCKR | Single-channel SPDT analog switch, 5-V tolerant inputs, 6 Ω Ron, no integrated level-shifting diode. | Limited to 1-bit routing; requires external level-shifting circuitry for 5-V-to-3.3-V translation. | Choose only for low-pin-count designs where per-channel control and smaller footprint outweigh 10-bit integration benefits. |
Compared with SN74CBTD3861PWE4, SN74CBTD3861PWR offers identical performance in tape-and-reel form for volume manufacturing, while SN74LVC1G3157DCKR provides flexibility for single-line routing but lacks native level shifting and scalability to 10-bit buses.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating per channel for the SN74CBTD3861PWE4?
The SN74CBTD3861PWE4 supports a continuous channel current of 128 mA per A/B path. This rating is validated under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V, TA = –40°C to 85°C) and ensures thermal stability without derating in typical PCB layouts with moderate copper area. Exceeding this value risks exceeding junction temperature limits.
Does the SN74CBTD3861PWE4 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its A or B ports?
No, the SN74CBTD3861PWE4 does not require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on A or B ports for normal operation. Its CMOS-based FET switch presents high-impedance off-state and rail-to-rail conduction when enabled. However, unused control inputs (e.g., OE) must be tied to VCC or GND per TI application note SCBA004 to prevent floating-node instability.
Can the SN74CBTD3861PWE4 translate signals from 3.3-V to 5-V logic levels?
No, the SN74CBTD3861PWE4 is unidirectionally optimized for 5-V-to-3.3-V level shifting via its integrated VCC-clamp diode. When driven from the B side (3.3-V), the A side reflects the same voltage level without boosting. For bidirectional or 3.3-V-to-5-V translation, a dedicated level translator such as TXB0108 is required.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the SN74CBTD3861PWE4 in its TSSOP-24 package?
The SN74CBTD3861PWE4 in the PW (TSSOP-24) package has a specified junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 88°C/W under JEDEC JESD51-7 standard test conditions. This value assumes a two-layer PCB with 1-in² copper pour per side; actual thermal performance improves with enhanced heatsinking or multilayer board design.
Is the SN74CBTD3861PWE4 pin-compatible with other packages in the same family, such as SN74CBTD3861DBR?
Yes, the SN74CBTD3861PWE4 shares identical pinout and functionality with SN74CBTD3861DBR (SSOP-24), SN74CBTD3861DW (SOIC-24), and SN74CBTD3861DGVR (TVSOP-24). All variants use the same DB/DGV/DW/PW top-view pin assignment: NC, A1–A10, GND, VCC, OE, B1–B10. Mechanical dimensions differ, but PCB layout can be reused with footprint adaptation.
