Product details
Overview
SN74CBTLV3253DGVR from Texas Instruments is a dual 1-of-4 low-voltage FET multiplexer/demultiplexer with 5Ω ON-state resistance, rail-to-rail switching on all I/O ports, and Ioff partial-power-down support. It operates from 2.3V to 3.6V, delivers sub-1ns propagation delay at 3.3V, and is used in high-speed data routing for enterprise computing and wired networking systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBTLV3253DGVR datasheet, SN74CBTLV3253DGVR pinout, SN74CBTLV3253DGVR application, or SN74CBTLV3253DGVR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 16-pin TVSOP package, guaranteed -40°C to +85°C operation, Ioff current ≤15µA at VCC = 0V, and compatibility with 3.3V LVTTL logic families.
Technical Context
The SN74CBTLV3253DGVR implements two independent 1-of-4 analog/digital switches using low-threshold FETs, enabling bidirectional rail-to-rail signal pass-through without level translation. Each channel features separate active-low output-enable (1OE, 2OE) and 2-bit binary select (S0, S1) inputs.
Its Ioff protection blocks current backflow when VCC = 0V, ensuring system-level isolation during partial power-down. The device maintains high-impedance states on all I/Os during power-up/down when OE is pulled up to VCC via an external resistor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| ON-state resistance | 5Ω typical at VCC = 3V, 64mA - enables minimal voltage drop and signal distortion in high-speed data paths |
| Propagation delay | 0.15–0.25ns at VCC = 3.3V - supports >1GHz signal routing without timing degradation |
| Supply voltage range | 2.3V to 3.6V - compatible with 2.5V and 3.3V LVTTL/LVCMOS systems |
| Ioff current | ≤15µA at VCC = 0V - prevents damaging back-current during hot-swap or partial power-down |
| ESD rating | HBM ±2000V - meets industrial-grade ESD robustness requirements |
| Operating temperature | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for enterprise computing and networking equipment environments |
| Input/output voltage tolerance | -0.5V to 4.6V - allows overvoltage-safe interfacing with mixed-supply systems |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBTLV3253DGVR uses a 16-pin Thin Very Small Outline Package (TVSOP) measuring 3.60mm × 4.40mm with 0.5mm pitch. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner; the package is RoHS-compliant and moisture-sensitive Level-1 (UNLIM reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE | Active-low enable for Channel 1 | Drives all Channel 1 B-port I/Os into high-Z when high; must be pulled up for power-up safety |
| S1, S0 | Binary select inputs | Control which of four B-port lines connects to Channel 1 A-port (00→B1, 01→B2, 10→B3, 11→B4) |
| 1A, 2A | Common I/O terminals | Bidirectional signal path for each 4:1 mux/demux channel; rail-to-rail capable |
| 1B1–1B4, 2B1–2B4 | Channel I/O terminals | Four selectable I/O paths per channel; all support 3.6V max I/O voltage regardless of VCC |
| VCC | Power supply | Single 2.3–3.6V supply powers logic control and switch FETs; bypass with 0.1µF capacitor |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for all signals and supply; requires low-inductance PCB connection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail I/O switching | Supports full 0V to VCC signal swing on all ports - eliminates need for level shifters in mixed-voltage interconnects |
| Ioff partial-power-down protection | Blocks current flow between powered and unpowered domains - critical for hot-plug and modular system designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FET multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTLV3253DR | SOIC-16 package (9.90mm × 3.90mm); same electrical specs but larger footprint and higher thermal resistance (RθJA = 102.5°C/W vs. 123.1°C/W) | Better suited for prototyping or through-hole assembly; less optimal for space-constrained networking modules | Choose DR for manual soldering or legacy board compatibility; DGVR preferred for density-critical designs |
| SN74CBTLV3253DBQR | SSOP-16 package (4.90mm × 3.90mm); identical specs but MSL Level-2 (1-year floor life) vs. DGVR's Level-1 (unlimited) | Requires stricter handling and bake-out before reflow; slightly lower thermal performance (RθJA = 116.6°C/W) | Select DBQR only if SSOP is already standardized in production; DGVR offers superior manufacturability and thermal margin |
Compared with SN74CBTLV3253DR and SN74CBTLV3253DBQR, the SN74CBTLV3253DGVR delivers the smallest PCB footprint (3.60mm × 4.40mm), highest moisture sensitivity robustness (Level-1), and best thermal dissipation among TVSOP variants - making it optimal for high-density, high-reliability networking and server applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the SN74CBTLV3253DGVR?
The SN74CBTLV3253DGVR does not specify a hard maximum frequency limit but achieves 0.25ns typical propagation delay at 3.3V, supporting clean signal routing up to 1–2 GHz depending on trace impedance, load capacitance, and layout. Its 5Ω ON-resistance and 5.5pF OFF-capacitance minimize RC time constants, enabling reliable use in PCIe Gen1/2 sideband, JTAG, and high-speed I²C applications. Always validate with actual board-level measurements under target load conditions.
Does the SN74CBTLV3253DGVR require external pull-up resistors on OE pins?
Yes, the SN74CBTLV3253DGVR requires external pull-up resistors on both 1OE and 2OE pins to ensure high-impedance state during power-up and power-down. TI recommends tying OE to VCC through a resistor sized to accommodate the driver's current-sinking capability - typically 10kΩ for standard CMOS drivers. This prevents undefined switching states and unintended channel activation before firmware initialization.
Can the SN74CBTLV3253DGVR interface with 1.8V logic while powered at 3.3V?
Yes, the SN74CBTLV3253DGVR supports rail-to-rail I/O operation: its data ports tolerate voltages from -0.5V to 4.6V independent of VCC, allowing safe interfacing with 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V logic families while powered at 3.3V. Control inputs (S0, S1, OE) meet 3.3V LVTTL thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0V, VIL ≤ 0.8V), so 1.8V control signals require level translation unless buffered.
Is the SN74CBTLV3253DGVR pin-compatible with the QS3253?
Yes, the SN74CBTLV3253DGVR is functionally and pin-compatible with the IDT QS3253, sharing identical pinout, electrical behavior, and timing characteristics. TI explicitly states functional equivalence in the datasheet, and both devices use the same 16-pin SOIC/SSOP/TVSOP footprints. No PCB changes are required when migrating from QS3253 to SN74CBTLV3253DGVR in TVSOP layout.
What is the thermal performance of the SN74CBTLV3253DGVR in its TVSOP package?
The SN74CBTLV3253DGVR in TVSOP (DGV) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 123.1°C/W and junction-to-board (RθJB) of 54.9°C/W. Under typical 10mA per channel operation at 3.3V, power dissipation remains below 15mW, resulting in negligible temperature rise. For sustained high-current switching (>50mA), ensure adequate copper pour and thermal vias beneath the exposed pad area to leverage RθJB performance.
