Product details
Overview
SN74CBTLV3861DW from Texas Instruments is a 10-bit high-speed bus switch IC with 5-Ω on-state resistance, rail-to-rail switching capability, and Ioff partial-power-down support. It operates from 2.3 V to 3.6 V and delivers sub-nanosecond propagation delay (0.15 ns typical at 2.5 V), enabling low-latency data routing in memory expansion, FPGA I/O bridging, and hot-swap peripheral interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBTLV3861DW datasheet, SN74CBTLV3861DW pinout, SN74CBTLV3861DW application, or SN74CBTLV3861DW equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 5-Ω ron across voltage range, flow-through SOIC-24 layout optimization, isolation during power-off, and latch-up immunity exceeding 100 mA per JESD 78 Class II.
Technical Context
The SN74CBTLV3861DW implements ten independent bilateral FET switches controlled by a single active-low OE input. Its flow-through architecture places A1–A10 and B1–B10 on opposite sides of the SOIC-24 package, minimizing trace crossovers and parasitic capacitance.
Each switch features rail-to-rail conduction with no level-shifting-supporting bidirectional signal integrity for 3.3-V and 2.5-V logic families. The Ioff specification (≤10 µA at VCC = 0 V) ensures robust backflow prevention when upstream/downstream rails are powered independently.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (ron) | 5 Ω typical at VCC = 2.5 V, VI = 0 V, II = 24 mA - enables minimal voltage drop and signal distortion in high-speed data paths. |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.15 ns min / 0.25 ns max at VCC = 2.5 V - supports >1 GHz effective switching rates without timing budget penalty. |
| Supply voltage range | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - compatible with both 2.5-V and 3.3-V system domains without external level translation. |
| Ioff current | ≤10 µA at VCC = 0 V, VI/VO = 0–3.6 V - prevents damaging back-current during partial power-down sequences. |
| Input capacitance (Ci) | 3 pF - reduces loading on driving logic and preserves edge rate in dense PCB layouts. |
| Latch-up immunity | >100 mA per JESD 78 Class II - ensures robust operation in noisy industrial or hot-plug environments. |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBTLV3861DW uses a 24-pin SOIC (DW) package with 300-mil body width, 1.27-mm lead pitch, and flow-through pin arrangement optimized for straight PCB trace routing. Thermal resistance θJA is 46°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 24 | No-connect (NC) | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout best practice - no electrical function. |
| 2–11 (A1–A10) | Port A data terminal | Bidirectional input/output node for first bus segment; electrically identical to corresponding B pin when switch enabled. |
| 12 | GND | Power ground reference for all internal circuitry and switch FET substrates. |
| 13 | VCC | Positive supply input (2.3–3.6 V); powers internal control logic and switch bias networks. |
| 14 | OE | Active-low output enable; drives all ten switches simultaneously - low = connect A↔B, high = high-Z isolation. |
| 15–23 (B1–B10) | Port B data terminal | Bidirectional input/output node for second bus segment; mirrors A-side behavior under OE control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog switching | Supports full 0–VCC signal swing on both A and B ports - preserves logic high/low margins across voltage domains. |
| Flow-through pinout | A1–A10 on left side, B1–B10 on right side - eliminates layer jumps and vias in 2-layer PCB designs. |
| Ioff partial-power-down protection | Blocks current flow when VCC = 0 V - enables safe insertion/removal of live backplane cards or daughterboards. |
| Low 5-Ω on-resistance | Minimizes RC time constant with 30-pF load - maintains signal integrity up to 500 Mbps without equalization. |
| JESD 78 Class II latch-up immunity | Withstands ≥100 mA transient injection - meets industrial reliability requirements without external protection diodes. |
Applications
| Memory Expansion Interface | FPGA I/O Bridging |
|---|---|

Use Value: Sub-nanosecond tpd and high-Z isolation between selections ensure deterministic scan chain timing and prevent signal leakage. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTLV3861DWR | Identical electrical specs and pinout; supplied in tape-and-reel (2000 pcs) vs. tube (25 pcs) packaging. | No functional difference - selected for automated SMT assembly instead of manual prototyping. | Choose DWR for volume production; DW for evaluation or low-volume builds. |
| SN74CBTLV3861PWR | TSSOP-24 package (4.4 mm width); 6.95-mm A0 cavity vs. DW's 10.75 mm - requires different land pattern and stencil design. | Same ron, tpd, and Ioff; smaller footprint suits space-constrained portable designs but increases thermal resistance (θJA = 88°C/W). | Select PWR only when board area is critical and thermal margin allows higher junction temperature rise. |
Compared with SN74CBTLV3861DWR and SN74CBTLV3861PWR, the SN74CBTLV3861DW offers optimal thermal performance (θJA = 46°C/W) and mechanical robustness for manual handling and rework, making it preferred for development, qualification, and medium-volume industrial deployments where thermal headroom and assembly flexibility are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the SN74CBTLV3861DW?
The SN74CBTLV3861DW does not specify a maximum clock frequency, as it is an analog bus switch-not a clocked device. Its 0.15-ns typical propagation delay and 5-Ω ron support clean signal transmission up to 500 Mbps in parallel bus applications. Actual usable data rate depends on trace length, load capacitance, and driver strength, but the SN74CBTLV3861DW itself introduces negligible timing uncertainty.
Can the SN74CBTLV3861DW be used for bidirectional level shifting between 2.5 V and 3.3 V domains?
No-the SN74CBTLV3861DW is a passive analog switch with rail-to-rail conduction, not a level shifter. It passes signals transparently within its VCC range (2.3–3.6 V), so both A and B ports must operate at the same voltage domain. For true level translation, use dedicated devices like TXB0108 or SN74AVCH series, not the SN74CBTLV3861DW.
How should the OE pin be driven to ensure proper power-up behavior of the SN74CBTLV3861DW?
To guarantee high-impedance state during power-up, OE must be held high (VCC) until VCC stabilizes. TI recommends tying OE to VCC via a pullup resistor; minimum value is determined by the current-sinking capability of the controlling driver. Do not leave OE floating-uncontrolled states may cause bus contention. This requirement applies specifically to the SN74CBTLV3861DW and all variants in the family.
Does the SN74CBTLV3861DW support hot-plug operation with powered-backplane insertion?
Yes-the SN74CBTLV3861DW supports hot-plug via its Ioff feature: when VCC = 0 V, leakage current is limited to ≤10 µA even if A or B pins are biased to 3.6 V. This prevents damaging back-current flow during live insertion. However, OE must be held high (isolated) during insertion, and system-level sequencing must ensure SN74CBTLV3861DW VCC ramps after signal rails stabilize.
Is there a pin-compatible automotive-grade version of the SN74CBTLV3861DW?
Yes-the SN74CBTLV3861-Q1 is the AEC-Q100 qualified automotive variant. It shares identical pinout, electrical specifications, and SOIC-24 (DW) package with the SN74CBTLV3861DW but is tested for extended temperature range (−40°C to +125°C), enhanced reliability, and zero-defect manufacturing. No PCB redesign is needed to migrate from SN74CBTLV3861DW to SN74CBTLV3861-Q1 in automotive applications.
