Product details
Overview
SN74CBTLV3126 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-0.25ns propagation delay at 3.3V, and isolates ports during power-off-used for protocol isolation in JTAG/SPI interconnects within enterprise servers and industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBTLV3126 datasheet, SN74CBTLV3126 pinout, SN74CBTLV3126 application, or SN74CBTLV3126 equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance matching across channels, thermal performance in VQFN (RGY) package, Ioff leakage under 10µA at 0V VCC, and OE-controlled channel enable/disable timing.
Technical Context
The SN74CBTLV3126 implements four independent bidirectional analog switches using NMOS pass transistors with integrated gate control logic. Each channel connects A and B ports when its dedicated OE input is high, and presents >10⁹Ω isolation when OE is low or VCC = 0V.
Its Ioff architecture blocks backflow current during partial power-down by disabling all transistor channels when VCC drops below threshold, ensuring robustness in hot-swap systems. Rail-to-rail operation supports full 0–3.3V signal swing without level translation, and latch-up immunity exceeds 100mA per JESD 78 Class II.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (ron) | 5Ω typical at 3.3V/64mA - ensures minimal voltage drop and signal attenuation in high-speed data paths |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.15–0.25ns at 3.3V - enables clean switching for >2GHz digital signals without timing skew |
| Ioff leakage | 10µA max at VCC = 0V - guarantees safe isolation during system power sequencing or standby |
| Supply voltage range | 2.3V to 3.6V - compatible with 2.5V and 3.3V logic domains without external level shifters |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C - validated for industrial and enterprise computing environments |
| ESD rating (HBM) | ±2000V - meets standard handling requirements for automated assembly and field service |
| Channel count | 4 independent bidirectional switches - supports parallel isolation of JTAG, SPI, or GPIO buses |
Pinout & Package
VQFN-14 (RGY) package: 4.00mm × 3.50mm body with exposed thermal pad; pin pitch 0.5mm; RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish; MSL Level-1 (260°C, unlimited reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Active-high enable inputs | Individually control each switch; pull low to isolate A–B path; require no external pull-down if driven actively |
| 1A–4A, 1B–4B | Bidirectional I/O terminals | Pass signals in either direction when enabled; support rail-to-rail 0–3.3V swing with <5Ω resistance |
| VCC | Power supply | Single 2.3–3.6V supply powers all switches and internal logic; bypass with 0.1µF capacitor near pin |
| GND | Ground reference | Return path for all channels and control logic; must connect to solid ground plane for EMI control |
| Thermal Pad | Exposed copper pad | Not required to be soldered; if connected, must be left floating or tied to GND to avoid parasitic coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5Ω on-state resistance | Minimizes insertion loss and maintains signal integrity in high-speed digital interconnects up to 2Gbps |
| Rail-to-rail switching | Supports full 0–3.3V logic swing without clamping or distortion-critical for mixed-voltage system partitioning |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Prevents damaging back-current flow when VCC = 0V, enabling safe hot-swap and live-insertion in modular systems |
| Standard 126-type pinout | Ensures drop-in compatibility with legacy SN74CBT and SN74LV families for design reuse and migration |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 100mA per JESD 78 Class II-guarantees robust operation in noisy industrial power environments |
Applications
| Server Backplane Interconnect | Industrial PLC I/O Expansion |

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 configuration, 3-state outputs, higher ICC (20µA), same RON and tpd specs | Used where 8-channel isolation is needed instead of 4; requires additional OE logic for channel grouping | Select when expanding bus width beyond 4 lanes while retaining identical VQFN footprint and thermal profile |
| SN74LVC1G3157DCKR | Single-channel, smaller SC70-6 package, higher RON (6.5Ω typ), wider VCC range (1.65–5.5V) | Suitable for point-of-load signal gating rather than parallel bus isolation | Choose for space-constrained designs needing discrete channel control-not for quad-bus consolidation |
Compared with SN74CBTLV3126, SN74CBTLV3245RGYR offers double channel count in same RGY package but lacks independent OE per channel, while SN74LVC1G3157DCKR provides broader voltage support in minimal area but cannot replace quad-channel functionality without four discrete units.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for SN74CBTLV3126 in the RGY package?
The SN74CBTLV3126 in VQFN (RGY) package is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This specification is validated per JEDEC JESD51 thermal testing standards and applies to all RGY-orderable variants including SN74CBTLV3126RGYR. Operation beyond 85°C ambient requires derating based on PCB layout and airflow.
Does SN74CBTLV3126 support true bidirectional signal flow?
Yes, SN74CBTLV3126 supports fully bidirectional signal flow on each A–B channel. Its FET-based architecture imposes no directionality-signals pass equally well from A to B or B to A when OE is high. This enables use in JTAG TDI/TDO, SPI MOSI/MISO, and GPIO sharing applications without polarity constraints.
How does the Ioff feature protect SN74CBTLV3126 during partial power-down?
The Ioff feature in SN74CBTLV3126 disables all internal FET channels when VCC drops to 0V, limiting leakage current to ≤10µA regardless of voltage applied to A/B pins. This prevents back-current damage to powered-down sections of a system-critical for hot-swap PCIe add-in cards and modular server architectures where subsystems power up/down independently.
Can SN74CBTLV3126 replace older 74CBT3126 devices in existing designs?
Yes, SN74CBTLV3126 is pin-compatible with SN74CBT3126 in SOIC, TSSOP, and TVSOP packages and shares the standard 126-type pinout. However, SN74CBTLV3126 operates at lower voltage (2.3–3.6V vs. 4.5–5.5V) and offers improved RON (5Ω vs. 7Ω) and lower ICC. Verify VCC domain compatibility before drop-in replacement.
What is the recommended decoupling for SN74CBTLV3126RGYR?
Texas Instruments specifies a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the VCC pin of SN74CBTLV3126RGYR, with short, low-inductance traces to the GND plane. For multi-layer PCBs, route the capacitor directly to an internal solid ground plane. Avoid shared vias or daisy-chained decoupling to maintain signal integrity in high-speed switching paths.
