Product details
Overview
SN74CBTLV3253DR from Texas Instruments is a dual 1-of-4 FET multiplexer/demultiplexer IC designed for high-speed, low-distortion signal routing in 2.3V–3.6V systems. It features 5Ω typical ON-state resistance, rail-to-rail I/O switching, and Ioff partial-power-down support. Used in datacenter interconnects and wired networking to switch bidirectional 2-bit buses between multiple peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBTLV3253DR datasheet, SN74CBTLV3253DR pinout, SN74CBTLV3253DR application, or SN74CBTLV3253DR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.25ns propagation delay at 3.3V, ±128mA channel current rating, -40°C to 85°C operating range in SOIC-16, and functional equivalence to QS3253 for drop-in replacement evaluation.
Technical Context
The SN74CBTLV3253DR implements two independent 1-of-4 analog switches using low-threshold FETs, enabling bidirectional signal flow with minimal voltage drop and distortion. Its select logic (S0/S1) and active-low output enables (1OE/2OE) provide deterministic channel routing without latching or clocking.
Designed for partial-power-down operation, the device guarantees Ioff ≤15µA when VCC = 0V, preventing back-current flow and ensuring isolation between powered and unpowered system domains. All I/O pins tolerate up to 4.6V regardless of VCC level, supporting mixed-voltage domain interfacing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| ON-state resistance | 5Ω typical at VCC = 3V, 64mA - ensures <50mV voltage drop across switch under full load, preserving signal integrity |
| Propagation delay | 0.25ns max at VCC = 3.3V - supports >1GHz small-signal switching in high-speed bus applications |
| Supply voltage range | 2.3V to 3.6V - compatible with 2.5V and 3.3V logic families without level translation |
| Ioff current | 15µA max at VCC = 0V - blocks damaging back-current during hot-swap or partial power-down sequences |
| ESD rating (HBM) | ±2000V - meets industrial-grade ESD robustness requirements per ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC JS-001 |
| Operating temperature | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for enterprise computing and industrial networking environments |
| Channel count | Dual independent 1-of-4 switches - routes two separate 4:1 data paths simultaneously |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBTLV3253DR is housed in a 16-pin SOIC package (9.90mm × 3.90mm), RoHS-compliant with NIPDAU lead finish and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE | Active-low output enable | Disables respective 1-of-4 switch bank when high; ties to VCC via pullup for power-up high-impedance safety |
| S0, S1 | Binary channel select | 2-bit address selects one of four B-port I/Os (B1–B4) to connect bidirectionally with A-port |
| 1A, 2A | Common I/O port | Shared bidirectional terminal per switch bank; connects to system bus or controller interface |
| 1B1–1B4, 2B1–2B4 | Individual I/O channels | Four dedicated bidirectional I/O terminals per bank; support rail-to-rail analog/digital signal routing |
| VCC | Power supply | Single 2.3–3.6V supply powers both switch banks and control logic; requires local 0.1µF bypass |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all switch conduction and logic; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail I/O switching | Supports full 0V to VCC signal swing on all ports - eliminates clipping in analog or mixed-signal paths |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Guarantees <15µA leakage when VCC = 0V - enables safe hot-plug operation in modular backplanes |
| 5Ω low ON-resistance | Minimizes insertion loss and timing skew across channels - critical for impedance-matched DDR or PCIe trace routing |
| Functional equivalence to QS3253 | Validated pinout, timing, and electrical compatibility - simplifies legacy design migration and second-source qualification |
| 4.6V overvoltage tolerant I/O | Withstands transient excursions beyond VCC - protects against bus contention or level-shifter fault conditions |

The SN74CBTLV3253DR I/O pins are overvoltage tolerant up to 4.6V regardless of VCC level, allowing safe interfacing with higher-voltage peripherals or transient conditions. This specification is validated per absolute maximum ratings and applies to all B-port and A-port terminals, enabling robust operation in mixed-voltage systems without external clamping diodes.
Does SN74CBTLV3253DR support hot-swap or partial-power-down operation?
Yes, SN74CBTLV3253DR fully supports partial-power-down via its Ioff feature: when VCC = 0V, leakage current is guaranteed ≤15µA, preventing back-current flow and ensuring isolation between powered and unpowered domains. This makes SN74CBTLV3253DR suitable for hot-pluggable modules and systems with staggered power sequencing.
What is the typical ON-state resistance of SN74CBTLV3253DR at 2.5V supply?
At VCC = 2.5V and VI = 0V with 64mA test current, SN74CBTLV3253DR exhibits a typical ON-state resistance of 5Ω, with a maximum of 8Ω across temperature. This low ron value ensures minimal voltage drop and signal attenuation, critical for maintaining signal integrity in high-speed digital and analog multiplexing applications.
Is SN74CBTLV3253DR pin-compatible with QS3253?
Yes, SN74CBTLV3253DR is functionally equivalent and pin-compatible with QS3253, sharing identical pinout, electrical characteristics, and timing behavior. TI explicitly states this equivalence in the device features and functional description, enabling direct substitution in existing QS3253-based designs without layout changes.
What package type and dimensions does SN74CBTLV3253DR use?
SN74CBTLV3253DR uses a 16-pin SOIC (D) package measuring 9.90mm × 3.90mm with standard 1.27mm lead pitch. It carries NIPDAU lead finish, complies with RoHS, and is rated MSL Level-1 (unlimited floor life), making it compatible with standard surface-mount assembly processes and long-term storage requirements.
