Product details
Overview
SN74CBTLV3125DR from Texas Instruments is a low-voltage quadruple FET bus switch with independent 5Ω on-state resistance per channel, rail-to-rail signal switching (0 V to VCC), and Ioff partial-power-down protection. It operates from 2.3 V to 3.6 V, supports −40°C to +85°C ambient, and is used for protocol isolation (e.g., JTAG, SPI) in enterprise computing and wired networking systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBTLV3125DR datasheet, SN74CBTLV3125DR pinout, SN74CBTLV3125DR application, or SN74CBTLV3125DR equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance stability across voltage range, guaranteed Ioff leakage (<10 µA at VCC = 0), OE-controlled high-impedance state during power sequencing, and SOIC-14 package compatibility with legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74CBTLV3125DR implements four independent bilateral analog switches using NMOS pass transistors with no body diode conduction path, enabling true rail-to-rail bidirectional signal routing. Each channel is controlled by a dedicated active-high output-enable (OE) input, and the device features no internal level-shifting-signal integrity is preserved across the full 0 V to VCC range.
Its Ioff specification ensures sub-10 µA back-current flow when VCC = 0 V and any I/O port is biased between 0 V and 3.6 V, satisfying JEDEC JESD78 Class II latch-up immunity (>100 mA). Thermal performance is characterized for SOIC (D) package with RθJA = 123.0°C/W.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (ron) | 5 Ω typical at VCC = 2.5 V, 64 mA - enables <50 mV voltage drop under full-load signal conditions |
| Supply voltage range | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - compatible with 2.5 V and 3.3 V logic domains without level shifters |
| Ioff leakage current | ≤10 µA at VCC = 0 V, VI/O = 0–3.6 V - prevents damaging backflow during hot-swap or partial power-down |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.25 ns typical at VCC = 3.3 V - supports >1 GHz signal bandwidth with minimal timing skew |
| Operating temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and enterprise infrastructure environments |
| ESD rating (HBM) | ±2000 V - meets standard handling requirements for automated assembly and field service |
| Input capacitance (Ci) | 2.5 pF - minimizes capacitive loading on high-speed control lines (e.g., OE) |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBTLV3125DR is packaged in a 14-pin SOIC (D) with 8.65 mm × 3.91 mm body size and standard 1.27 mm pitch. Pin 1 is top-left corner, pin 14 is top-right corner, with GND (pin 7) and VCC (pin 8) centrally located for optimal decoupling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B, 4A, 4B | I/O channel terminals | Bidirectional signal paths; each pair forms one switch channel with no polarity restriction |
| 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Active-high enable inputs | Asserting high disables corresponding A–B path; OE must be pulled to VCC or GND to avoid floating states |
| VCC | Power supply | Single 2.3–3.6 V supply powers all four channels and internal logic; requires local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for all signals and supply; must connect to solid ground plane to minimize noise coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog switching | Supports 0 V to VCC signal swing on all I/O ports - preserves full logic high/low margins without clipping |
| Independent per-channel OE control | Enables selective isolation of JTAG, SPI, or GPIO lines without affecting other system buses |
| Ioff partial-power-down protection | Guarantees <10 µA leakage when unpowered - eliminates need for external power sequencing in hot-swap designs |
| Low 5 Ω on-resistance | Minimizes insertion loss and distortion for high-speed digital and low-voltage analog signals up to 100 MHz |
| JEDEC Class II latch-up immunity | Withstands >100 mA transient current - ensures robust operation in noisy industrial environments |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTLV3245DR | Octal (8-channel) configuration, same 5 Ω ron and Ioff spec, but requires two OE pins controlling four channels each | Better suited for dense data bus isolation (e.g., parallel address/data lines); higher pin count and layout footprint | Select when consolidating multiple SN74CBTLV3125DR functions into one IC to reduce component count and routing complexity |
| TS3A24159DGSR | Lower 0.9 Ω ron at 3.3 V, dual SPDT topology, supports 0.8–4.8 V supply, but lacks Ioff spec and has higher 15 pF Cio(OFF) | Preferred for ultra-low-loss analog switching (e.g., audio, sensor front-end); not rated for partial-power-down use cases | Choose only if on-resistance is critical and power sequencing is fully controlled; verify absence of Ioff requirement in target system |
Compared with SN74CBTLV3125DR, SN74CBTLV3245DR offers higher channel density at identical performance per channel, while TS3A24159DGSR delivers lower ron but sacrifices Ioff protection and introduces higher off-capacitance-making SN74CBTLV3125DR the optimal choice for industrial hot-swap and enterprise server isolation where power-domain independence is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating per channel for SN74CBTLV3125DR?
The SN74CBTLV3125DR supports a continuous channel current of 128 mA per switch, verified across the full operating temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and supply voltage range (2.3 V to 3.6 V). This rating applies to both A→B and B→A directions and is defined under steady-state DC conditions with proper PCB thermal relief.
Does SN74CBTLV3125DR support operation at 2.5 V supply voltage?
Yes, SN74CBTLV3125DR is fully specified for 2.5 V operation: recommended VCC range includes 2.3 V minimum, and electrical characteristics such as 5 Ω typical on-resistance, 0.15 ns propagation delay, and Ioff ≤10 µA are all validated at VCC = 2.5 V per TI SCDS037K datasheet Section 5.5.
How should unused OE pins be handled on SN74CBTLV3125DR?
All unused OE pins on SN74CBTLV3125DR must be tied to either VCC or GND to prevent floating states that could cause unintended channel conduction. TI recommends pullup resistors to VCC (minimum value determined by driver sink capability) to ensure default high-impedance mode during power-up, aligning with functional safety requirements in enterprise systems.
Is SN74CBTLV3125DR compatible with 1.8 V logic control inputs?
Yes, SN74CBTLV3125DR accepts 1.8 V as a valid high-level control input (VIH) when VCC = 2.3 V to 2.7 V (min VIH = 1.7 V), and remains compatible at VCC = 2.7 V to 3.6 V (min VIH = 2.0 V). This allows direct interfacing with 1.8 V GPIOs without level-shifting circuitry in mixed-voltage designs.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of SN74CBTLV3125DR in its SOIC package?
The SN74CBTLV3125DR in SOIC (D) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 123.0°C/W, measured under standard JEDEC test conditions (single-layer copper, 1 in² pad). This value assumes proper PCB layout with thermal vias and adequate copper pour to sustain continuous 128 mA per channel at +85°C ambient.
