Product details
Overview
SN74CBTLV16211GR from Texas Instruments is a 24-bit high-speed FET bus switch IC organized as dual 12-bit switches with independent OE controls, featuring 5-Ω on-state resistance, rail-to-rail signal switching, and Ioff partial-power-down support - used in high-bandwidth memory/data bus isolation and hot-swap interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBTLV16211GR datasheet, SN74CBTLV16211GR pinout, SN74CBTLV16211GR application, or SN74CBTLV16211GR equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 5-Ω ron at 2.5 V/3.3 V, sub-1 ns enable/disable timing, −40°C to 85°C operation, TSSOP-56 package thermal performance (θJA = 64°C/W), and JESD 17 latch-up immunity.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 12-bit bidirectional analog/digital bus switches using low-threshold NMOS FETs, enabling rail-to-rail signal pass-through without level translation. Each switch block responds to its dedicated OE input: logic-low enables A↔B connection; logic-high forces high-impedance isolation.
The Ioff feature actively blocks current backflow when VCC = 0 V, supporting live-insertion and partial-power-down system architectures. ESD protection exceeds 2000-V HBM and 200-V MM, and latch-up immunity exceeds 250 mA per JESD 17.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - supports both 2.5 V and 3.3 V system rails without external level shifters |
| ron (Typ) | 5 Ω at VCC = 2.5 V / 3.3 V - ensures minimal voltage drop and signal distortion across full data path |
| tpd (Max) | 0.25 ns - enables >1 GHz data rate compatibility in high-speed parallel bus applications |
| ten/tdis (Max) | 7.7 ns - allows fast dynamic bus reconfiguration for multiplexed memory or peripheral interfaces |
| Ioff (Max) | 10 µA at VCC = 0 V - prevents power-domain leakage during partial shutdown |
| ESD HBM | 2000 V - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements for board-level handling and field operation |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for extended-temperature industrial and telecom infrastructure use |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-56 (DGG) package: 12.0 mm × 6.1 mm × 1.2 mm body, 0.5 mm pitch, exposed pad not present, JEDEC MO-153 compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A1–1A12, 2A1–2A12 | Input/Output Port A (Group 1 & 2) | Bidirectional data terminals for first and second 12-bit bus segments; rail-to-rail compatible |
| 1B1–1B12, 2B1–2B12 | Input/Output Port B (Group 1 & 2) | Corresponding bidirectional terminals connected to A ports when respective OE is active low |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output Enable (Active-Low) | Independent control inputs - low enables 12-bit A↔B path; high isolates ports into high-Z state |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single 2.3–3.6 V supply powering all switch FETs and internal logic; no separate I/O supply required |
| GND | Ground Reference | Four dedicated ground pins (pins 8, 17, 35, 44) minimize ground bounce in high-speed switching |
| NC | No Internal Connection | Pins 1 and 56 are unconnected - must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog/digital switching | Supports signals from GND to VCC without clipping - preserves full logic swing in mixed-voltage systems |
| Ioff partial-power-down protection | Blocks reverse current flow when VCC = 0 V - enables safe hot-plug insertion in modular backplane designs |
| 5-Ω typical on-state resistance | Minimizes propagation delay (<0.25 ns) and insertion loss - critical for maintaining signal integrity in DDR/PCI buses |
| 2000-V HBM ESD rating | Eliminates need for external TVS diodes in board-level ESD protection schemes |
| Dual independent 12-bit control | Enables flexible partitioning - e.g., one group for address lines, another for data lines, each with separate timing control |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT16211DGGR | Same architecture but CBT (not CBTLV) family - higher ron (12 Ω typ), wider VCC range (4.5–5.5 V), no Ioff support | Restricted to 5 V-only systems; unsuitable for partial-power-down or mixed-voltage hot-swap | Select only if legacy 5 V bus compatibility is mandatory and power sequencing is fully controlled. |
| PI3CH406QE | 6-bit, 3.3 V-only, 6 Ω ron, integrated 10-kΩ pull-downs on OEs, smaller TSSOP-24 package | Limited channel count requires four devices for 24-bit coverage; lacks dual-OE granularity | Prefer for space-constrained designs where modular 6-bit switching suffices and OE pull-down simplifies control logic. |
Compared with SN74CBTLV16211GR, SN74CBT16211DGGR trades Ioff and low-voltage operation for 5 V tolerance, while PI3CH406QE offers footprint savings at the cost of scalability and independent 12-bit control - making SN74CBTLV16211GR optimal for integrated 24-bit, mixed-rail, hot-swap systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the SN74CBTLV16211GR?
The SN74CBTLV16211GR does not specify a clock frequency limit because it is an analog bus switch, not a clocked device. Its 0.25 ns max propagation delay enables reliable operation with data rates exceeding 1 GHz in parallel bus applications such as DDR memory interfaces and PCI-X data paths, provided PCB layout maintains controlled impedance and minimizes stub length.
Can the SN74CBTLV16211GR be used with 1.8 V I/O signals?
No - the SN74CBTLV16211GR requires VCC between 2.3 V and 3.6 V and is not characterized for 1.8 V operation. Applying 1.8 V signals while VCC ≥ 2.3 V is permissible only if the input voltage stays within −0.5 V to VCC + 0.3 V, but signal swing will be clipped below ~0.7 V due to FET threshold. For true 1.8 V compatibility, consider TI's SN74AVC16T245 instead.
How should unused OE pins be handled on the SN74CBTLV16211GR?
Unused OE pins must be held static at either VCC or GND to prevent floating inputs that could cause undefined switching states and increased ICC. TI recommends tying unused OE to VCC via a 10-kΩ pullup resistor to ensure default high-impedance isolation - this aligns with the device's partial-power-down design intent and avoids unintended bus contention.
Does the SN74CBTLV16211GR support hot-plug operation with powered-backplane insertion?
Yes - the SN74CBTLV16211GR's Ioff specification guarantees ≤10 µA leakage when VCC = 0 V and any I/O is biased between 0–3.6 V, enabling safe insertion into a live backplane. This feature, combined with 2000-V HBM ESD rating and JESD 17 latch-up immunity (>250 mA), makes SN74CBTLV16211GR suitable for GR-63-compliant telecom hot-swap modules.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the SN74CBTLV16211GR in its TSSOP-56 package?
The SN74CBTLV16211GR in TSSOP-56 (DGG) package has a specified junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 64°C/W under standard JEDEC test conditions (1-layer 2-oz copper, 1-in² pad). Actual thermal performance improves significantly with PCB copper pour under the package and thermal vias - typical production layouts achieve 40–50°C/W.
