Product details
Overview
SN74CBTLV3253DBQR from Texas Instruments is a dual 1-of-4 FET multiplexer/demultiplexer for high-speed, low-voltage signal routing in data-path switching applications. It features 5 Ω typical on-state resistance, rail-to-rail I/O switching, and Ioff support for partial-power-down mode. It operates from 2.3 V to 3.6 V and delivers sub-nanosecond propagation delay (0.15 ns typ at VCC = 2.5 V), making it suitable for enterprise computing interconnects and wired networking bus arbitration.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBTLV3253DBQR datasheet, SN74CBTLV3253DBQR pinout, SN74CBTLV3253DBQR application, or SN74CBTLV3253DBQR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 16-pin SSOP package, active-low dual OE control, 5 Ω switch RON, -40°C to 85°C operating range, and functional equivalence to QS3253 in 4:1 bidirectional signal routing.
Technical Context
The SN74CBTLV3253DBQR implements two independent 1-of-4 analog switches using low-threshold FETs, enabling bidirectional, rail-to-rail signal pass-through without level translation. Its select logic (S0/S1) determines which of four B-port channels connects to each A-port channel, while separate 1OE and 2OE inputs disable respective mux/demux sections independently.
Designed for partial-power-down operation, the device guarantees Ioff ≤ 15 µA when VCC = 0 V, preventing backflow current and ensuring channel isolation during power sequencing. Its ESD robustness (2000 V HBM) and latch-up immunity (>100 mA per JESD78 Class II) support reliable deployment in industrial and infrastructure systems with mixed-voltage domain interfaces.
Key Specifications

| Propagation delay | 0.15 ns typ (A↔B) at VCC = 2.5 V - supports >1 GHz signal routing with negligible timing skew |
| Ioff | 15 µA max at VCC = 0 V - ensures safe hot-insertion and power sequencing in multi-rail systems |
| Operating temperature | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for enterprise servers, networking equipment, and industrial controllers |

| Package | SSOP-16 (4.90 mm × 3.90 mm) - surface-mount footprint compatible with standard reflow profiles and IPC-7351B land patterns |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBTLV3253DBQR is housed in a 16-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with 0.65 mm lead pitch and dimensions of 4.90 mm × 3.90 mm. The package supports automated placement and reflow soldering per JEDEC Level-2 moisture sensitivity classification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE | Active-low enable for Channel 1 | Drives entire 1A–1B1–1B4 switch array into high-Z state when high; required for power-down isolation |
| S1, S0 | Binary select inputs for both channels | Set 1-of-4 routing path (L/L → B1, L/H → B2, H/L → B3, H/H → B4); shared between both mux sections |
| 1A, 2A | Common I/O ports (Channel 1 & 2) | Bidirectional signal terminals connecting to system buses or processors; rail-to-rail capable up to 4.6 V |
| 1B1–1B4, 2B1–2B4 | Individual I/O ports (four per channel) | Connect to peripheral devices or memory banks; each pair forms a low-RON switch path when enabled |
| VCC | Power supply | Single 2.3–3.6 V supply powers all logic and switch circuitry; bypass capacitor (0.1 µF) required near pin 16 |
| GND | Ground reference | Return path for all internal currents; must be low-impedance and tied to system ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent 1-of-4 mux/demux | Enables simultaneous routing of two separate 4:1 data streams (e.g., dual DDR address/control buses) |
| 5 Ω typical RON | Reduces voltage drop and timing uncertainty under 64 mA load, preserving signal integrity in high-speed parallel interfaces |
| Rail-to-rail I/O | Supports input/output voltages from GND to 4.6 V regardless of VCC, allowing interoperability with overvoltage-tolerant peripherals |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual 1-of-4 FET multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| QS3253 | Functionally identical pinout and electrical specs; same 5 Ω RON, 0.15 ns tpd, and Ioff performance | Legacy part with discontinued production status; limited long-term availability and no 125°C variants | Acceptable for legacy redesigns where TI's SN74CBTLV3253DBQR is unavailable; verify MSL-1 vs MSL-2 reflow profile compatibility |
| SN74CBTLV3253DR | Same silicon die in SOIC-16 package (9.90 mm × 3.90 mm); identical electrical specs but higher thermal resistance (RθJA = 102.5°C/W vs 116.6°C/W) | Better suited for low-density PCBs with ample copper pour; less space-constrained than SSOP but incompatible pin layout | Select when board real estate permits larger footprint and thermal management relies on heatsinking rather than airflow |
Compared with QS3253 and SN74CBTLV3253DR, the SN74CBTLV3253DBQR offers optimal balance of compact SSOP packaging, industry-standard MSL-2 reflow compliance, and full production longevity-making it preferred for new designs targeting volume manufacturing and 15-year lifecycle support.

FAQ
What is the maximum signal frequency supported by the SN74CBTLV3253DBQR?
The SN74CBTLV3253DBQR does not specify a hard upper frequency limit, but its 0.15 ns typical propagation delay and 5 Ω on-resistance support clean routing of signals up to ~1 GHz in well-designed PCB layouts. Performance depends on trace impedance matching and load capacitance; for 50 Ω systems with ≤30 pF load, rise times < 100 ps are preserved. Always validate with IBIS simulation and lab measurement for your specific application.
Does the SN74CBTLV3253DBQR require external pull-up resistors on OE pins?
Yes - to ensure high-impedance state during power-up/power-down, TI recommends tying 1OE and 2OE to VCC via pull-up resistors. The minimum value is determined by the driver's current-sinking capability; a 10 kΩ resistor is typical for microcontroller GPIOs. This prevents undefined switching states and eliminates glitch-induced current spikes during supply ramp-up.
Can the SN74CBTLV3253DBQR operate with VCC = 2.5 V and interface with 3.3 V I/O signals?
Yes - the SN74CBTLV3253DBQR supports rail-to-rail I/O operation up to 4.6 V regardless of VCC. With VCC = 2.5 V, it safely switches 3.3 V signals on both A and B ports without damage or level translation. Input thresholds (VIH/VIL) scale with VCC, so 3.3 V logic levels remain valid control inputs even at reduced supply voltage.
How does the Ioff feature protect systems during partial power-down?
The Ioff feature limits current to ≤15 µA when VCC = 0 V, preventing backflow from powered I/O lines into the unpowered device. In the SN74CBTLV3253DBQR, this isolates the A and B ports electrically, avoiding unintended biasing of downstream circuits and protecting against latch-up or thermal overstress in mixed-rail systems during hot-swap or graceful shutdown sequences.
Is the SN74CBTLV3253DBQR pin-compatible with other packages in the same family?
No - the SN74CBTLV3253DBQR (SSOP-16) has identical pin functions but different physical dimensions and thermal characteristics compared to SOIC-16 (D), TVSOP-16 (DGV), or VQFN-16 (RGY) variants. While logic behavior and pin numbering match across packages, PCB footprints and reflow profiles differ; migration requires layout revision and thermal validation per JEDEC MSL rating (MSL-2 for DBQ vs MSL-1 for D/DGV).
