Product details
Overview
SN74CBTLV3126PW from Texas Instruments is a low-voltage quadruple FET bus switch with independent 5Ω analog switches, rail-to-rail signal switching, and Ioff partial-power-down protection. It operates from 2.3V to 3.6V, supports –40°C to +85°C ambient, and is used for protocol isolation (JTAG/SPI/GPIO) in enterprise computing and wired networking systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBTLV3126PW datasheet, SN74CBTLV3126PW pinout, SN74CBTLV3126PW application, or SN74CBTLV3126PW equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance (5–8 Ω), Ioff leakage (<10 µA at VCC = 0), propagation delay (<0.25 ns), thermal resistance (148.9°C/W), and TSSOP-14 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74CBTLV3126PW implements four independent bidirectional FET switches, each controlled by a dedicated active-high output-enable (OE) input. Its CMOS-based transmission-gate architecture enables rail-to-rail analog/digital signal pass-through without level shifting.
Each switch exhibits low on-state resistance (5–8 Ω typical at VCC = 3.3V, II = 64mA), minimal charge injection, and guaranteed isolation during power-off via Ioff functionality. The device meets JESD 78 Class II latch-up immunity (>100 mA) and supports hot-swap operation without power sequencing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-resistance (ron) | 5–8 Ω typical at VCC = 3.3V, 64mA - ensures minimal voltage drop and signal attenuation across switched paths |
| Supply voltage (VCC) | 2.3V to 3.6V - compatible with 2.5V and 3.3V logic domains without level translation |
| Ioff leakage current | <10 µA at VCC = 0V - prevents backflow current and protects powered-down circuitry |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.15–0.25 ns - enables high-speed signal routing in >1 GHz digital interfaces |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and enterprise-grade embedded environments |
| ESD rating (HBM) | ±2000 V - provides robust handling margin during board assembly and system integration |
| Input capacitance (Ci) | 2.5 pF - minimizes loading on driving sources and preserves signal integrity |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-14 (PW) package: 5.00 mm × 4.40 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch, exposed thermal pad (optional GND connection).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Active-high enable inputs | Individually control conduction state of each switch; tie to GND via pull-down resistor for safe power-up/down |
| 1A/1B, 2A/2B, 3A/3B, 4A/4B | Bidirectional I/O channels | Pass rail-to-rail analog/digital signals with no directionality constraint; symmetric A↔B path |
| VCC | Power supply | Single 2.3–3.6V supply powers all four switches and internal logic; requires local 0.1 µF decoupling |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for all channels and control logic; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5Ω low on-resistance | Enables <10 mV drop at 2 mA, preserving signal fidelity in high-speed data buses |
| Rail-to-rail switching | Supports full 0–VCC analog/digital swing without clipping or distortion on any I/O pair |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Blocks current flow when VCC = 0, eliminating need for external isolation in hot-swap systems |
| Standard 126-type pinout | Ensures drop-in compatibility with legacy 74-series bus switches in existing PCB layouts |
| JESD 78 Class II latch-up immunity | Withstands >100 mA transient stress, meeting industrial reliability requirements |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FET bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTLV3245PW | Octal channel, 3-state outputs, higher Ron (~6.5 Ω), same VCC range and Ioff | Used where 8-channel density and output disable (not just switch open) are required | Select SN74CBTLV3245PW when expanding from quad to octal routing or needing 3-state bus hold capability |
| TS3A24159RGTR | 2-channel, 0.7 Ω Ron, 1.65–3.6V VCC, lower ESD (±2 kV HBM), no Ioff spec | Targeted at portable, battery-powered systems requiring ultra-low Ron and smaller footprint | Choose TS3A24159RGTR only if Ioff is not needed and dual-channel operation suffices for the design |
Compared with SN74CBTLV3126PW, SN74CBTLV3245PW offers double channel count but lacks independent OE per switch, while TS3A24159RGTR delivers lower Ron and wider voltage range but omits Ioff protection-making SN74CBTLV3126PW optimal for industrial hot-swap isolation where power-domain independence is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the SN74CBTLV3126PW?
The SN74CBTLV3126PW is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This specification applies specifically to the TSSOP-14 (PW) package variant and is validated per JEDEC JESD22-A104. Operation beyond this range may compromise parametric performance and reliability.
Does the SN74CBTLV3126PW support true bidirectional signal flow?
Yes, the SN74CBTLV3126PW supports fully bidirectional analog and digital signal flow between each A and B terminal pair. Its FET-based transmission gate architecture imposes no directionality-signals pass equally well from A to B or B to A, with identical on-resistance and timing characteristics in both directions.
How does the Ioff feature function in the SN74CBTLV3126PW?
The Ioff feature in the SN74CBTLV3126PW disables all internal conduction paths when VCC = 0V, limiting leakage current to <10 µA regardless of voltage applied to I/O pins. This prevents damaging back-current flow into unpowered sections of a system, enabling safe hot-swap and partial-power-down operation without external protection circuitry.
Can the SN74CBTLV3126PW be used with 1.8V logic levels?
Yes, the SN74CBTLV3126PW supports 1.8V-compatible control thresholds: VIH(min) = 2.0V at VCC = 3.6V and 1.7V at VCC = 2.7V, allowing direct interfacing with 1.8V GPIO drivers when VCC ≥ 2.7V. Input voltage range extends down to –0.5V, ensuring robustness against undershoot.
Is the thermal pad on the SN74CBTLV3126PW package required to be soldered?
No, the exposed thermal pad on the SN74CBTLV3126PW TSSOP-14 package has no electrical or thermal requirement for soldering. If connected, it must be left floating or tied to GND-TI specifies no mandatory thermal attachment, and standard reflow profiles achieve adequate junction temperature control without pad connection.
