Product details
Overview
SN74CBTLV3245AGQNR from Texas Instruments is a low-voltage octal FET bus switch in 20-pin QFN (RGY) package, featuring 5 Ω typical on-state resistance, rail-to-rail switching, and Ioff support for partial-power-down mode. It enables bidirectional signal routing between A- and B-port data buses in high-speed digital systems such as memory expansion interfaces and FPGA I/O bridging.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBTLV3245AGQNR datasheet, SN74CBTLV3245AGQNR pinout, SN74CBTLV3245AGQNR application, or SN74CBTLV3245AGQNR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.3–3.6 V supply range, sub-0.25 ns propagation delay, ±40 µA Ioff leakage at VCC = 0 V, and compatibility with JEDEC-standard '245-type pinout for drop-in replacement in legacy bus-switch layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74CBTLV3245AGQNR implements eight independent NMOS FET transmission gates controlled by a single active-low output enable (OE) input. Its architecture provides true bidirectional, noninverting signal flow with no internal logic buffering-preserving edge integrity and minimizing jitter.
Designed for low-voltage operation, it supports rail-to-rail analog/digital signal pass-through across ports A and B when enabled, while maintaining high-impedance isolation during disable or power-down states via Ioff protection that blocks backflow current even when VCC = 0 V and I/O pins are biased to 3.6 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - Enables direct interface with 2.5 V and 3.3 V logic families without level shifters. |
| ron (Typ) | 5 Ω at VCC = 2.5 V - Ensures minimal voltage drop and signal attenuation for 64 mA channel current. |
| tpd | 0.15–0.25 ns - Supports >4 GHz effective data rates in point-to-point high-speed interconnects. |
| Ioff | 40 µA max at VCC = 0 V - Guarantees safe hot-insertion and partial-power-down operation in modular systems. |
| Cio(OFF) | 9 pF - Limits capacitive loading on disabled buses, preserving signal integrity in multi-drop configurations. |
| ESD Rating | 2000 V HBM - Meets industrial-grade robustness requirements without external protection diodes. |
| Latch-Up Immunity | >250 mA per JESD 17 - Prevents destructive latch-up under transient overvoltage conditions. |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBTLV3245AGQNR uses a 20-pin QFN package (RGY) with exposed thermal pad, 4 mm × 4 mm body, 0.5 mm pitch, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 2–260°C/1 year. Pin 1 marked via top-side silkscreen dot; pin 10 = GND, pin 11 = VCC, pin 19 = OE.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 20 | No-connect (NC) | Internally unconnected; must be left floating or tied to GND/VCC per layout best practice. |
| 2–9 | A1–A8 | Input/output port A side - Bidirectionally connected to B1–B8 when OE is low. |
| 11 | VCC | Positive supply - Must be decoupled locally with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - Connect to low-impedance ground plane; ties thermal pad internally. |
| 12 | OE | Active-low output enable - Pull up to VCC via resistor during power-up to ensure high-Z default state. |
| 13–20 | B1–B8 | Input/output port B side - Electrically identical to A-side; no internal directionality. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog/digital switching | Supports full-swing signals from GND to VCC without clipping or distortion on either port. |
| Ioff partial-power-down protection | Blocks reverse current flow when VCC = 0 V and I/O pins remain active - critical for hot-swap backplanes. |
| Standard '245-type pinout | Enables mechanical and functional compatibility with legacy SN74 series bus switches in existing PCB layouts. |
| Low 5 Ω ron and 9 pF Cio(OFF) | Minimizes RC delay and capacitive loading - preserves signal rise/fall times in DDR, PCIe, and USB 2.0 paths. |
| Latch-up immunity & ESD hardening | Exceeds JESD 17 (250 mA) and JESD 22-A114A (2000 V HBM) - eliminates need for external protection in most industrial designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTLV3245APWR | TSSOP-20 package (PW), same electrical specs, 70-unit tube vs. 1000-unit reel for SN74CBTLV3245AGQNR. | Lower-density PCB assembly; less suitable for automated pick-and-place due to larger footprint and no exposed thermal pad. | Preferred for prototyping or low-volume production where QFN reflow capability is unavailable. |
| SN74CBTLV3245ADGVR | TVSOP-20 package (DGV), identical AC/DC specs, but higher θJA (92°C/W vs. 37°C/W for RGY). | Reduced thermal performance limits sustained 64 mA switching in compact enclosures without forced airflow. | Selected when board space constraints prohibit QFN but thermal load remains within 50% duty cycle limits. |
Compared with SN74CBTLV3245APWR and SN74CBTLV3245ADGVR, the SN74CBTLV3245AGQNR delivers superior thermal dissipation (37°C/W), smallest PCB footprint (4 mm × 4 mm), and optimal suitability for high-volume automated assembly - making it the preferred choice for thermally demanding, space-constrained, and production-scale applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended operating temperature for SN74CBTLV3245AGQNR?
The SN74CBTLV3245AGQNR is fully specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. Its QFN package (RGY) features a thermal impedance of 37°C/W, enabling reliable performance at full rated current (64 mA per channel) within this range when mounted on a 2-layer PCB with adequate copper pour under the thermal pad.
Does SN74CBTLV3245AGQNR support hot-plug operation?
Yes, the SN74CBTLV3245AGQNR supports hot-plug operation via its Ioff feature: when VCC = 0 V, leakage current is limited to 40 µA maximum even if A/B pins are biased to 3.6 V. This prevents damaging back-current flow, making SN74CBTLV3245AGQNR suitable for use in hot-swappable backplane and modular system designs.
Is SN74CBTLV3245AGQNR pin-compatible with standard '245 devices?
Yes, the SN74CBTLV3245AGQNR follows the industry-standard '245-type pinout: A1–A8 on pins 2–9, OE on pin 12, VCC on pin 11, GND on pin 10, and B1–B8 on pins 13–20. This allows direct PCB-level replacement of legacy 74-series bus switches without layout changes - provided the QFN footprint is supported.
What is the typical on-state resistance of SN74CBTLV3245AGQNR at 3.3 V supply?
At VCC = 3.3 V, the typical on-state resistance (ron) of SN74CBTLV3245AGQNR is 5 Ω for IO = 24 mA and VI = 2.4 V, and 7 Ω maximum. This low ron ensures minimal voltage drop (<170 mV) and preserves signal integrity in high-speed digital interconnects using the SN74CBTLV3245AGQNR.
Can SN74CBTLV3245AGQNR be used with 1.8 V logic signals?
No - the SN74CBTLV3245AGQNR requires VCC between 2.3 V and 3.6 V and does not support 1.8 V supply operation. However, it can pass 1.8 V signals bidirectionally when VCC ≥ 2.3 V, as its rail-to-rail switching architecture accepts input voltages from GND to VCC; thus SN74CBTLV3245AGQNR safely routes 1.8 V logic levels in mixed-voltage systems.
