Product details
Overview
SN74CBTLV3126DBQR from Texas Instruments is a low-voltage quadruple FET bus switch with independent 5Ω analog switches, rail-to-rail signal switching (0–3.6 V), and Ioff partial-power-down protection. It operates from 2.3 V to 3.6 V and supports hot-swap isolation in enterprise computing backplanes and protocol multiplexing for JTAG/SPI GPIO routing.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBTLV3126DBQR datasheet, SN74CBTLV3126DBQR pinout, SN74CBTLV3126DBQR application, or SN74CBTLV3126DBQR equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance stability across voltage range, guaranteed isolation during power-off, thermal performance in SSOP-16, and compatibility with 1.8-V/3.3-V mixed-signal systems.
Technical Context
The SN74CBTLV3126DBQR implements four independent bidirectional FET switches, each controlled by a dedicated active-high OE input. Switch conduction is governed by MOSFET channel resistance, not logic-level translation - enabling true analog pass-through of DC to >100 MHz signals without level shifting.
Its Ioff specification (≤10 µA at VCC = 0 V) ensures no backflow current when unpowered, while latch-up immunity (>100 mA per JESD 78 Class II) guarantees robustness in noisy industrial environments. The device maintains high-impedance isolation during power-up/down sequences when OE is pulled low via external resistor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-resistance (ron) | 5 Ω typical at VCC = 3.3 V, 64 mA - enables <10 mV drop across switch under full load, preserving signal integrity in high-speed data paths. |
| Supply voltage range | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - compatible with 2.5-V and 3.3-V system rails; excludes 1.8-V-only operation without level shifters. |
| Ioff leakage | ≤10 µA at VCC = 0 V - prevents damaging backfeed from live buses into unpowered subsystems during hot insertion. |
| Signal voltage range | 0 V to VCC (rail-to-rail) - supports full-swing digital and analog signals including 1.8-V logic levels when VCC ≥ 1.8 V. |
| Operating temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for commercial/industrial ambient conditions; not rated for extended 125 °C operation like DYY/BQA variants. |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.15–0.25 ns at VCC = 2.5 V - sub-nanosecond switching enables use in >1 GHz data paths with minimal timing skew. |
| ESD rating (HBM) | ±2000 V - meets JEDEC JS-001 Class 2, supporting safe handling in standard assembly lines without special ESD controls. |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBTLV3126DBQR uses a 16-pin SSOP (DBQ) package measuring 4.90 mm × 3.90 mm with exposed pad option not present. Pin spacing is 0.65 mm; body thickness is 1.75 mm. Thermal resistance RθJA = 118.7 °C/W enables moderate power dissipation without forced cooling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14 | I/O (1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B, 4A, 4B) | Bidirectional analog/digital signal ports - no internal directionality; signal flows A↔B when enabled. |
| 2, 5, 11, 15 | Input (1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE) | Active-high enable controls - each independently gates one switch pair; floating state disables switch. |
| 8 | GND | Reference ground for all I/O and control signals; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 16 | VCC | Single positive supply (2.3–3.6 V); powers internal FET bias circuitry and defines signal swing limits. |
| 9 (NC) | No connect | Internally unconnected pin - must remain unconnected on PCB; no routing or grounding permitted. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5 Ω on-resistance | Ensures minimal voltage drop and signal attenuation across all four channels, critical for maintaining eye diagram integrity in high-speed serial links. |
| Rail-to-rail I/O | Supports full 0–VCC signal swing without clamping or distortion, enabling transparent interface between mixed-voltage domains (e.g., 1.8-V MCU ↔ 3.3-V peripheral). |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Guarantees <10 µA leakage when VCC = 0 V, allowing safe hot-plug operation in modular systems without power sequencing constraints. |
| Standard 126-type pinout | Enables drop-in replacement for legacy 74-series bus switches (e.g., SN74CBT3126) in existing layouts with no PCB redesign. |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 100 mA per JESD 78 Class II - eliminates risk of destructive latch-up during transient overvoltage events in motor drive or industrial I/O 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTLV3126DGVR | TVSOP-14 package (3.60 mm × 4.40 mm); RθJA = 154.8 °C/W; same electrical specs but lower thermal performance and no NC pin. | Better suited for space-constrained PCBs where footprint area matters more than thermal headroom; lacks NC pin for simplified layout verification. | Select DGVR for ultra-dense routing; choose DBQR when thermal margin or pin-count consistency with legacy 16-pin designs is required. |
| SN74CBTLV3126PWR | TSSOP-14 package (5.00 mm × 4.40 mm); RθJA = 148.9 °C/W; identical switching specs but slightly larger footprint than DGVR. | Offers higher creepage/clearance for industrial safety compliance; preferred in designs requiring IPC-2221 Class B spacing. | Choose PWR for enhanced isolation in mains-connected equipment; DBQR remains optimal for cost-sensitive commercial servers. |
Compared with SN74CBTLV3126DGVR and SN74CBTLV3126PWR, the SN74CBTLV3126DBQR provides superior thermal resistance (118.7 °C/W vs. ≥148.9 °C/W), a dedicated NC pin for layout validation, and mechanical compatibility with legacy 16-pin socket footprints - making it the preferred choice for thermally demanding, high-reliability server and industrial control applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for SN74CBTLV3126DBQR?
The SN74CBTLV3126DBQR is specified for operation from –40 °C to +85 °C ambient temperature. This rating applies specifically to the DBQ (SSOP-16) package variant and is validated per JEDEC JESD22-A104. Operation beyond +85 °C is not guaranteed and may result in increased on-resistance drift or Ioff leakage exceeding 10 µA.
Does SN74CBTLV3126DBQR support 1.8-V logic levels?
Yes, the SN74CBTLV3126DBQR supports 1.8-V logic levels when powered with VCC ≥ 2.3 V. Its rail-to-rail I/O architecture allows signals from 0 V to VCC, so a 1.8-V input applied to any A/B port will pass through undistorted as long as VCC is within 2.3–3.6 V. Control inputs (OE) require VIH ≥ 1.7 V at VCC = 2.3 V.
How does the Ioff feature work in SN74CBTLV3126DBQR?
The Ioff feature in SN74CBTLV3126DBQR disables internal FET conduction paths when VCC = 0 V, limiting leakage current to ≤10 µA even if live signals (0–3.6 V) are present on A/B ports. This prevents backdrive damage to unpowered downstream circuits and enables true hot-swap capability without external power sequencing hardware.
Can SN74CBTLV3126DBQR replace older 74CBT3126 devices?
Yes, SN74CBTLV3126DBQR is pin-compatible with SN74CBT3126DBQR in the same SSOP-16 package and shares the standard 126-type pinout. However, it operates at lower voltage (2.3–3.6 V vs. 4.5–5.5 V) and offers improved on-resistance (5 Ω vs. ~7 Ω) and Ioff protection - requiring VCC rail adjustment but delivering better signal integrity.
What is the purpose of the NC pin on SN74CBTLV3126DBQR?
Pin 9 on SN74CBTLV3126DBQR is a no-connect (NC) terminal with no internal bond wire or silicon connection. It serves as a physical placeholder for layout verification, mechanical alignment, or future package revision flexibility. It must remain unconnected on the PCB - neither routed nor grounded - to avoid unintended parasitic coupling or EMI effects.
