Product details
Overview
SN74CBTLV16211 from NXP Semiconductors is a dual 12-bit high-speed CMOS bus switch with independent active-low output enables (1OE, 2OE), 5 Ω typical ON-state resistance, rail-to-rail switching capability, and operation across 2.3 V to 3.6 V supply. It serves as a low-latency bidirectional signal path in memory expansion, FPGA I/O buffering, and hot-swap data routing applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBTLV16211 datasheet, SN74CBTLV16211 pinout, SN74CBTLV16211 application, or SN74CBTLV16211 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.2 ns max propagation delay at 3.3 V, IOFF partial power-down protection, Schmitt-trigger control inputs for noise immunity, and TSSOP56 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 12-bit bidirectional analog switches, each controlled by a dedicated active-low OE input. Its low on-resistance (≤7.0 Ω at 3.3 V) and minimal parasitic capacitance (CS(ON) = 14.3 pF) enable sub-nanosecond signal integrity in high-speed digital interconnects.
The IOFF circuitry ensures zero backflow current during partial power-down states, while Schmitt-trigger inputs tolerate slow edge rates (up to 200 ns/V) across the full 2.3–3.6 V VCC range - supporting robust operation in mixed-voltage systems with marginal slew rate margins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - supports direct interface with 2.5 V and 3.3 V logic families without level translation |
| ON-state resistance | 4.0 Ω (typ) at 3.3 V - minimizes voltage drop and timing skew across 12-bit parallel paths |
| Propagation delay | 0.2 ns (max) at 3.3 V - enables <1 GHz data rate handling in point-to-point or stubbed bus topologies |
| IOFF leakage | ±10 μA at VCC = 0 V - prevents destructive current flow when one side is powered and the other is not |
| Operating temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded control environments |
| ESD rating | HBM >2000 V - provides robust handling margin during board assembly and system integration |
| Switch capacitance | 14.3 pF (ON-state), 5.2 pF (OFF-state) - maintains signal integrity with ≤30 pF load targets per channel |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP56 plastic thin shrink small outline package (SOT364-1), 56-pin, body width 6.1 mm, 0.5 mm pitch, lead finish matte tin.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE | Active-low output enable | Independent control of each 12-bit switch bank; HIGH forces high-impedance OFF-state |
| 1A0–1A11, 1B0–1B11 | Bidirectional data terminals (Bank 1) | 12 pairs of A/B ports; no fixed direction - signal flows A→B or B→A depending on external drive |
| 2A0–2A11, 2B0–2B11 | Bidirectional data terminals (Bank 2) | Second independent 12-bit switch bank, electrically isolated from Bank 1 |
| VCC | Power supply | Single 2.3–3.6 V supply powers both banks and control logic; no separate I/O voltage required |
| GND (pins 8,19,38,49) | Ground reference | Four dedicated ground pins reduce ground bounce and improve noise rejection in high-speed switching |
| n.c. (pin 1) | No connection | Unused pad; must remain unconnected to avoid unintended coupling or thermal stress |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail switching | Supports full 0 V to VCC signal swing on all I/O ports - eliminates need for external biasing in AC-coupled or mixed-voltage interfaces |
| IOFF partial power-down | Blocks current flow between live and unpowered domains - essential for hot-plug, modular backplane, and power-gated subsystem designs |
| Schmitt-trigger control inputs | Enables reliable switching with slow-rising/falling enable signals up to 200 ns/V - reduces sensitivity to noise and trace impedance mismatches |
| Low ON-state resistance | 4.0 Ω typical at 3.3 V - preserves signal amplitude and edge rate across 12-bit parallel buses with ≤128 mA per switch |
| High noise immunity | Exceeds JEDEC JESD8-5 and JESD8-B standards - ensures stable operation in electrically noisy industrial and automotive-adjacent environments |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTLV3861PVR | Single 24-bit bus switch; identical 5 Ω RON and 0.2 ns tpd, but only one OE input | Lacks independent bank control - unsuitable for split-bus architectures requiring staggered enable timing | Select when full 24-bit path control suffices and board space permits larger 56-pin TSSOP footprint |
| PI74CBTLV3245AEX | 24-bit single-bank switch with 3-state outputs; requires external pull-ups for high-Z; no IOFF | No power-down isolation - cannot safely interface powered/unpowered domains | Prefer only in legacy 3.3 V-only systems where partial power-down is unnecessary and cost is primary constraint |
Compared with SN74CBTLV3861PVR and PI74CBTLV3245AEX, the SN74CBTLV16211 uniquely delivers dual independent 12-bit banks with IOFF and Schmitt-trigger enables - making it the only option for fault-tolerant, hot-swappable, or mixed-voltage bus segmentation where bank-level isolation and robust enable timing are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the SN74CBTLV16211?
The SN74CBTLV16211 does not specify a maximum clock frequency directly, but its 0.2 ns maximum propagation delay at 3.3 V enables reliable operation with data rates exceeding 1 GHz in point-to-point configurations. Signal integrity depends on trace length, load capacitance (≤30 pF recommended), and termination - actual usable frequency must be validated per PCB layout and system-level timing analysis for the SN74CBTLV16211.
Does the SN74CBTLV16211 support level shifting between different voltage domains?
No, the SN74CBTLV16211 is not a level shifter. It operates as a bidirectional analog switch with rail-to-rail conduction, meaning it passes signals within the 0 V to VCC range only. Both sides of each switch pair must remain within the same VCC domain (2.3 V to 3.6 V); crossing voltage domains risks violating absolute maximum ratings and may damage the SN74CBTLV16211.
How should the 1OE and 2OE pins be handled during power-up to ensure high-impedance state?
To guarantee high-impedance OFF-state during power-up or power-down, 1OE and 2OE must be tied to VCC through external pull-up resistors. The minimum resistor value depends on the current-sinking capability of the driving source - typically 10 kΩ is sufficient for most microcontroller GPIOs. This ensures OE remains HIGH (inactive) until valid control logic is established, preventing bus contention during SN74CBTLV16211 initialization.
Is the SN74CBTLV16211 suitable for automotive applications?
No - the SN74CBTLV16211 is not automotive-qualified. While it operates from −40 °C to +125 °C, it lacks AEC-Q100 qualification, automotive-grade reliability testing, and automotive-specific documentation. For automotive use, NXP offers qualified alternatives such as the 74CBTLV3861A; the SN74CBTLV16211 is intended for industrial, computing, and communications equipment only.
What is the purpose of the n.c. (no-connect) pin on the SN74CBTLV16211?
The n.c. pin (pin 1) on the SN74CBTLV16211 is an unconnected internal pad with no electrical function. It must remain unconnected on the PCB to avoid unintended coupling, thermal stress, or mechanical interference. Solder mask should fully cover this pad, and no trace or copper pour should contact it - doing so could compromise signal integrity or long-term reliability of the SN74CBTLV16211.
