Product details
Overview
SN74CBTLV3125RGYR from Texas Instruments is a low-voltage quadruple FET bus switch with independent 5Ω on-state resistance, rail-to-rail signal switching, and Ioff partial-power-down support. It operates from 2.3V to 3.6V, delivers sub-0.3ns propagation delay at 3.3V, and isolates ports during power-off-enabling hot-swap isolation in JTAG/SPI signal routing applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBTLV3125RGYR datasheet, SN74CBTLV3125RGYR pinout, SN74CBTLV3125RGYR application, or SN74CBTLV3125RGYR equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (VQFN-14), confirmed electrical specs (ron = 5–7 Ω, tpd = 0.25 ns, Ioff = 10 µA), thermal data (RθJA = 101.81°C/W), and real-world design guidance for protocol isolation in enterprise computing and wired networking systems.
Technical Context
The SN74CBTLV3125RGYR implements four independent bidirectional FET switches, each controlled by an active-high OE input. When OE is low, the A–B path conducts with <7Ω typical on-resistance; when OE is high, the switch enters high-impedance state with <7pF off-capacitance and <10µA Ioff leakage at VCC = 0V.
Its architecture supports rail-to-rail analog/digital signal pass-through across 0V–3.3V range, maintains isolation during power sequencing, and meets JESD78 Class II latch-up immunity (>100 mA). The VQFN-14 package enables compact layout with exposed thermal pad for enhanced thermal performance in space-constrained embedded interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (ron) | 5–7 Ω at VCC = 3.3V, 64mA - ensures minimal voltage drop and signal attenuation in high-speed digital buses. |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.25 ns at VCC = 3.3V - enables transparent pass-through for >1 GHz signal edges without timing degradation. |
| Ioff leakage current | 10 µA max at VCC = 0V - prevents backflow damage and enables safe live insertion into powered-backplane systems. |
| Supply voltage range | 2.3V to 3.6V - compatible with 2.5V/3.3V logic domains and mixed-voltage interface bridging. |
| Off-state capacitance (Cio) | 7 pF - minimizes capacitive loading and crosstalk on isolated signal lines during disable state. |
| Operating temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade deployment in datacenter and networking equipment. |
| Junction-to-ambient RθJA | 101.81°C/W (VQFN-14) - defines thermal derating limits for continuous 128mA channel current in PCB layouts with standard copper pour. |
Pinout & Package
VQFN-14 (RGY) package: 3.50mm × 3.50mm body, 0.5mm pitch, exposed thermal pad (pin 14), RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, MSL Level-2-260°C-1 year.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Active-high enable input | Controls individual switch conduction; tie to VCC via pullup resistor to guarantee high-Z during power-up/down. |
| 1A/1B, 2A/2B, 3A/3B, 4A/4B | Bidirectional I/O channel pair | Passes rail-to-rail signals (0–3.3V) with <7Ω resistance; no directionality or voltage translation required. |
| VCC | Power supply | Single 2.3–3.6V supply powers all four switches; requires local 0.1µF bypass capacitor adjacent to pin. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for all channels and internal circuitry; must connect to solid ground plane for EMI control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5Ω low on-resistance | Minimizes insertion loss and maintains signal integrity for high-speed parallel buses and clock distribution paths. |
| Rail-to-rail analog/digital switching | Supports full 0V–3.3V swing without level-shifting-ideal for isolating GPIO, SPI, and JTAG signals between voltage domains. |
| Ioff partial-power-down protection | Blocks damaging back-current when VCC = 0V, enabling hot-swap capability without external power sequencing circuitry. |
| High-impedance state during power transition | Guarantees isolation at power-up/down when OE is pulled up to VCC-prevents bus contention in multi-rail systems. |
| JESD78 Class II latch-up immunity | Withstands >100 mA fault current-ensures robust operation in noisy industrial and datacenter 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTLV3245RGYR | Octal (8-channel) vs. quad (4-channel); identical ron (5–7 Ω), tpd (0.25 ns), and Ioff (10 µA) specs. | Higher channel density suits wider data buses (e.g., 8-bit parallel interfaces); larger VQFN-24 footprint increases layout area. | Select when expanding signal isolation capacity beyond 4 channels without changing voltage or timing requirements. |
| SN74LVC1G3157DCKR | Single-channel; higher ron (9 Ω typ), slower tpd (3.5 ns), but extends operating temp to 125°C (VCC = 1.65–5.5V). | Rated for extended temperature industrial motor drives; lacks quad integration and rail-to-rail performance below 1.8V. | Choose for single-line isolation in high-temp environments where quad integration is unnecessary and 3.5ns delay is acceptable. |
Compared with SN74CBTLV3245RGYR and SN74LVC1G3157DCKR, the SN74CBTLV3125RGYR uniquely balances quad-channel density, sub-0.3ns speed, and 5Ω on-resistance in a compact VQFN-14 package-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-speed protocol isolation where thermal headroom is moderate (−40°C to 85°C).

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current per channel for SN74CBTLV3125RGYR?
The SN74CBTLV3125RGYR supports up to 128 mA continuous channel current per switch, as specified in Absolute Maximum Ratings. This rating applies under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 2.3V–3.6V, TA = −40°C to +85°C) and assumes proper PCB thermal design with the VQFN-14 package's exposed thermal pad connected to a sufficient copper area.
Does SN74CBTLV3125RGYR require external pull-up resistors on OE pins?
Yes, SN74CBTLV3125RGYR requires pull-up resistors on all OE inputs to ensure high-impedance state during power-up and power-down. TI recommends tying each OE to VCC through a resistor sized based on the driver's current-sinking capability-typically 10 kΩ for standard CMOS drivers-to prevent floating control inputs and unintended switch activation.
Can SN74CBTLV3125RGYR operate with 1.8V logic signals?
Yes, SN74CBTLV3125RGYR supports rail-to-rail switching down to 0V and up to VCC (2.3V–3.6V), so 1.8V logic signals pass through with full fidelity when VCC ≥ 2.3V. Its control inputs (OE) accept 1.8V-compatible thresholds (VIH = 1.7V min at VCC = 2.3V–2.7V), making it interoperable with 1.8V microcontrollers without level shifters.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of SN74CBTLV3125RGYR in its VQFN package?
The SN74CBTLV3125RGYR in VQFN-14 (RGY) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 101.81°C/W, measured under standard JEDEC test conditions (1-layer 2 oz copper, 1 in² pad). This value assumes proper thermal via placement beneath the exposed pad and guides derating calculations for sustained 128mA channel current in production PCB layouts.
Is SN74CBTLV3125RGYR pin-compatible with other packages of the same part number?
No, SN74CBTLV3125RGYR (VQFN-14) is not pin-compatible with SOIC-14 (D), TVSOP-14 (DGV), TSSOP-14 (PW), or SSOP-16 (DBQ) variants. Pin assignments differ significantly-especially GND/VCC locations and OE/A/B ordering-and mechanical footprints are incompatible. Board redesign is required when migrating between packages.
