Product details
Overview
SN74CBTLV3245 from Texas Instruments is a low-voltage octal FET bus switch in DW package, providing 8-bit bidirectional switching with 5-Ω on-state resistance, <0.25 ns propagation delay at 3.3 V, and isolation under power-off conditions. It operates from 2.3 V to 3.6 V across –40°C to 85°C and is used in high-speed data path isolation for memory expansion and processor interconnects.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBTLV3245 datasheet, SN74CBTLV3245 pinout, SN74CBTLV3245 application, or SN74CBTLV3245 equivalent, key selection criteria include low on-resistance, rail-to-rail signal pass-through, OE-controlled high-impedance state, and compatibility with standard '245-type PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74CBTLV3245 implements eight independent FET-based transmission gates controlled by a single active-low output enable (OE) input. Its architecture provides true bidirectional signal flow with no internal logic inversion or level translation - signals pass through with minimal distortion and no added latency beyond RC delay.
It features power-off isolation: when VCC = 0 V, leakage current between A and B ports remains ≤30 µA, and all I/O pins tolerate –0.5 V to 4.6 V regardless of supply state. ESD protection exceeds 2000 V (MIL-STD-883) and 200 V (machine model), supporting robust board-level handling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (ron) | 5 Ω typical at VCC = 3 V, enabling <10 mV drop at 24 mA - preserves signal integrity in 3.3-V LVTTL/LVCMOS buses |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.25 ns typical at VCC = 3.3 V - supports >1 GHz data rates without timing budget penalty |
| Supply voltage range | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - compatible with 2.5-V and 3.3-V system rails, not 5-V tolerant |
| I/O off-state leakage (Ioff) | 30 µA max at VCC = 0 V - ensures signal isolation during hot-swap or partial power-down |
| Input capacitance (Ci) | 3.5 pF - minimizes capacitive loading on driving sources, critical for fanout-limited buses |
| ESD rating | 2000 V HBM, 200 V machine model - meets industrial handling requirements without external protection |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for commercial and extended industrial ambient environments |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBTLV3245 is supplied in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package with standard '245-type pinout and one no-connect (NC) pin. The package has 0.65 mm lead pitch, 7.5 mm × 12.8 mm body size, and JEDEC MS-013AC compliance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | A1–A8 inputs/outputs | Bidirectional port A side - connects directly to source device (e.g., CPU address/data bus) |
| 9 | GND | Power ground reference for switch core and control logic |
| 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 | B1–B8 inputs/outputs | Bidirectional port B side - routes to destination (e.g., peripheral or memory interface) |
| 12 | OE | Active-low output enable - must be pulled up to VCC via external resistor for power-up safety |
| 19 | VCC | Positive supply (2.3–3.6 V) - powers FET channel and OE logic; no internal regulation |
| 20 | NC | No internal connection - left unconnected per TI datasheet; not usable as spare pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5-Ω low on-resistance | Enables sub-10-mV voltage drop at 24 mA, preserving noise margins in 3.3-V LVTTL systems |
| Power-off isolation | Maintains ≤30 µA leakage between A/B ports at VCC = 0 V - prevents back-driving during partial power-down |
| Standard '245 pinout | Direct drop-in replacement for legacy 74-series bus switches without PCB redesign |
| 2000-V HBM ESD protection | Eliminates need for external TVS diodes in assembly-line and field-replaceable modules |
| 0.25-ns propagation delay | Supports >1-GHz edge rates in high-speed interconnects without skew-induced setup/hold violations |
Applications
| Memory Expansion Interface | Processor-to-Peripheral Bus Isolation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT3245DBR | Same function but in SSOP (DB) package; θJA = 115°C/W vs. DW's 97°C/W; identical electrical specs. | Preferred for space-constrained boards where SSOP footprint is acceptable; thermal performance slightly lower. | Select when board layout uses SSOP land pattern or requires tighter pitch than SOIC. |
| SN74LVC245A | Octal transceiver with direction control (DIR) and 3-state outputs - not a passive switch; higher ron (~15 Ω), slower tpd (~5 ns). | Suitable for directional data flow (e.g., UART TX/RX separation); unsuitable for transparent bidirectional paths. | Choose only if direction control is required and low on-resistance or nanosecond delay is not critical. |
Compared with SN74CBT3245DBR and SN74LVC245A, the SN74CBTLV3245 delivers superior signal transparency (5 Ω, 0.25 ns), true bidirectionality without DIR pin, and guaranteed power-off isolation - making it optimal for high-fidelity, low-latency bus gating where timing and leakage matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended supply voltage for SN74CBTLV3245?
The absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC) for SN74CBTLV3245 is 4.6 V, but the recommended operating range is 2.3 V to 3.6 V. Operating above 3.6 V risks exceeding electrical specifications and may degrade reliability. TI specifies all timing and resistance parameters within the 2.3–3.6 V window, and the SN74CBTLV3245 is not rated for 5-V operation.
Does SN74CBTLV3245 support bidirectional signal flow without direction control?
Yes, SN74CBTLV3245 provides true bidirectional signal pass-through - A1–A8 and B1–B8 are interchangeable ports with no internal direction logic. Unlike transceivers such as SN74LVC245A, the SN74CBTLV3245 requires only OE control and functions identically regardless of signal origin, making it ideal for bus-sharing and hot-swap isolation.
How should the OE pin of SN74CBTLV3245 be handled during power-up?
The OE pin of SN74CBTLV3245 must be tied to VCC through a pullup resistor to ensure high-impedance state at power-on. TI recommends calculating minimum resistance based on driver sink capability; typical values range from 4.7 kΩ to 10 kΩ. Leaving OE floating risks undefined switch state and potential bus contention during startup.
Can SN74CBTLV3245 be used in systems with mixed 2.5-V and 3.3-V logic?
Yes, SN74CBTLV3245 operates across 2.3 V to 3.6 V and tolerates input voltages from –0.5 V to 4.6 V independent of VCC. This allows safe interfacing between 2.5-V and 3.3-V domains without level shifters, provided both sides share common ground and VCC is set to the higher rail (e.g., 3.3 V) to guarantee full drive strength and timing.
Is there a no-connect (NC) pin on SN74CBTLV3245, and how should it be treated?
Yes, Pin 20 is designated NC (no internal connection) in the DW package. It must remain unconnected - neither grounded nor tied to VCC. TI explicitly states this pin has no internal bond wire or circuitry, and connecting it may cause mechanical stress or unintended coupling. The SN74CBTLV3245 datasheet confirms NC functionality applies only to Pin 20 in all supported packages including DW.
