Product details
Overview
SN74CBTLV3245ARGYR from Texas Instruments is a low-voltage octal FET bus switch in a 20-pin VQFN (RGY) package, providing bidirectional 8-bit signal routing with 5 Ω typical on-state resistance, rail-to-rail switching, and Ioff partial-power-down support. It operates from 2.3 V to 3.6 V and delivers sub-nanosecond propagation delay (0.15–0.25 ns), enabling high-speed data path isolation in enterprise computing and wired networking systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBTLV3245ARGYR datasheet, SN74CBTLV3245ARGYR pinout, SN74CBTLV3245ARGYR application, or SN74CBTLV3245ARGYR equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world application mappings, and two confirmed alternative parts for system-level bus switching design decisions.
Technical Context
The SN74CBTLV3245ARGYR implements an 8-bit, single-pole single-throw (SPST) FET-based analog switch array with active-low output enable (OE). Its architecture enables bidirectional signal flow between A and B ports without level translation, supporting rail-to-rail voltage operation across the full supply range.
It features Ioff protection that limits backflow current to ≤40 µA when VCC = 0 V and any I/O is biased 0–3.6 V, ensuring safe isolation during power sequencing. The device maintains high-impedance state during power-up/down when OE is pulled to VCC via external resistor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - Enables direct interface with 2.5 V and 3.3 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| On-State Resistance (ron) | 5 Ω typical at VCC = 2.5 V, IO = 64 mA - Minimizes voltage drop and signal distortion in high-speed data paths. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 0.15–0.25 ns - Supports >1 GHz signal bandwidth with negligible timing impact on critical buses. |
| Ioff Current | ≤40 µA at VCC = 0 V - Prevents damaging back-current during partial power-down in multi-rail systems. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±2000 V - Meets industrial-grade ESD robustness per JESD22-A114 without external protection. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C - Qualified for commercial/industrial environments including datacenter and building automation equipment. |
| Package | VQFN-20 (RGY), 4.5 mm × 3.5 mm, 1 mm max height - Compact footprint with exposed thermal pad for enhanced power dissipation. |
Pinout & Package
VQFN-20 (RGY) package with 0.5 mm pitch, 4.5 mm × 3.5 mm body, and exposed thermal pad (Pin 21) requiring PCB solder connection for thermal and mechanical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 | A1–A8 | Bidirectional data port A - Connects to upstream bus or controller; supports rail-to-rail analog/digital signals. |
| 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 | B1–B8 | Bidirectional data port B - Connects to downstream peripheral or memory; electrically identical to A port. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - Must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into switch channels. |
| 19 | OE | Active-low output enable - Driven low to connect A↔B; high to isolate ports; requires pull-up to VCC for power-up safety. |
| 20 | VCC | Power supply - Supplies internal bias and switch FETs; requires local 0.1 µF decoupling capacitor. |
| 1 | NC | No internal connection - May be left floating or tied to GND; no electrical function. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail switching | Supports input/output signals from GND to VCC without clipping - preserves full logic swing in mixed-voltage systems. |
| Ioff partial-power-down protection | Blocks back-current flow when VCC = 0 V - eliminates need for external isolation diodes in hot-swap or power-gated designs. |
| Standard '245-type pinout | Pin-compatible with legacy 74-series bus transceivers - simplifies drop-in replacement in existing layouts using SSOP/TSSOP footprints. |
| Low on-state capacitance | Cio(OFF) = 9 pF - Reduces loading on high-impedance source nodes and minimizes signal integrity degradation. |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 250 mA per JESD17 - Ensures robust operation under transient overvoltage or ground bounce conditions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTLV3245APWR | TSSOP-20 (PW) package, 6.5 mm × 4.4 mm; thermal resistance RθJA = 105.9 °C/W vs. RGY's 80.8 °C/W. | Better suited for manual assembly or prototyping due to gull-wing leads; less optimal for high-density automated PCBs. | Select SN74CBTLV3245APWR if board space allows larger footprint and hand-soldering is required. |
| SN74LVC245APW | True 8-bit transceiver (3-state) with direction control (DIR); not a switch - lacks bidirectional analog pass-through capability. | Applicable only where unidirectional data flow and level translation (1.65–3.6 V) are needed, not signal isolation. | Choose SN74LVC245APW only when direction-controlled buffering-not passive switching-is the system requirement. |
Compared with SN74CBTLV3245ARGYR, SN74CBTLV3245APWR offers identical electrical performance in a more serviceable package, while SN74LVC245APW serves fundamentally different functional roles-making it unsuitable as a direct replacement despite shared pin count and logic family.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for SN74CBTLV3245ARGYR?
The SN74CBTLV3245ARGYR is rated for operation from –40 °C to +85 °C ambient temperature. This specification applies specifically to the RGY (VQFN-20) package variant and is validated per JEDEC JESD47 thermal testing standards. Operation beyond 85 °C may degrade parametric performance or reliability and is not guaranteed.
Does SN74CBTLV3245ARGYR support bidirectional signal flow?
Yes, SN74CBTLV3245ARGYR supports fully bidirectional signal flow between its A and B ports. There is no inherent directionality - signals pass equally well from A-to-B or B-to-A when OE is low. This makes SN74CBTLV3245ARGYR ideal for applications like PCIe lane switching or shared bus arbitration where data direction changes dynamically.
What is the purpose of the NC pin on SN74CBTLV3245ARGYR?
Pin 1 of SN74CBTLV3245ARGYR is labeled NC (No Connection) and has no internal bond wire or circuit connection. It may be left floating or tied to GND for mechanical stability or EMI reduction, but it performs no electrical function. TI confirms this pin is unused in all package variants including RGY.
Can SN74CBTLV3245ARGYR operate at 2.5 V supply?
Yes, SN74CBTLV3245ARGYR is fully specified for 2.5 V operation. Its recommended operating range is 2.3 V to 3.6 V, and key parameters-including 5 Ω typical ron, 0.15–0.25 ns tpd, and Ioff ≤40 µA-are characterized at VCC = 2.5 V. This enables seamless integration with 2.5 V FPGA I/O banks and ASIC core voltages.
Is a pull-up resistor required on the OE pin of SN74CBTLV3245ARGYR?
Yes, TI explicitly recommends tying OE to VCC via a pull-up resistor during power-up and power-down to ensure the switch remains in high-impedance state. A floating OE can cause unintended conduction, excess current draw, or latch-up. Minimum resistor value depends on driver sink capability but is typically 10 kΩ for standard CMOS drivers.
