Product details
Overview
SN74CBTR16861DLR from Texas Instruments is a 20-bit FET bus switch organized as two independent 10-bit switches, featuring 25-Ω on-state resistance, TTL-compatible control inputs (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V), and operation across –40°C to 85°C. It enables high-speed bidirectional signal routing in memory expansion and data-path isolation applications with minimal propagation delay (tpd = 1.25 ns at VCC = 4 V).
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBTR16861DLR datasheet, SN74CBTR16861DLR pinout, SN74CBTR16861DLR application, or SN74CBTR16861DLR equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance matching, OE-controlled bidirectional switching behavior, thermal performance (θJA = 63°C/W for DL package), and compatibility with 5-V TTL logic systems requiring low-noise signal integrity.
Technical Context
The SN74CBTR16861DLR implements dual 10-bit FET-based analog switches with separate OE controls per bank. Each switch exhibits symmetrical A↔B conduction when OE is low, and high-impedance isolation when OE is high - enabling precise data-path gating without directionality constraints.
Its 25-Ω typical on-resistance is matched across channels and stable over voltage and temperature, reducing signal reflection noise and eliminating need for external termination. The device meets JESD 78 Class II latch-up immunity (>100 mA) and JESD 22 ESD ratings (2000-V HBM, 200-V MM), supporting robust operation in mixed-signal PCB environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (ron) | 20–48 Ω typical; ensures minimal voltage drop and signal attenuation during active switching. |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 1.25 ns at VCC = 4 V; supports >800 MHz data-rate signal routing with sub-nanosecond timing fidelity. |
| Supply voltage range | 4 V to 5.5 V; compatible with standard 5-V TTL and mixed-voltage I/O domains. |
| Control input thresholds | VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V; guarantees reliable OE activation using legacy 5-V TTL drivers. |
| Thermal resistance (θJA) | 63°C/W (DL package); defines maximum power dissipation limit under natural convection cooling. |
| ESD protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM; satisfies industrial-level electrostatic robustness requirements without external protection. |
| Latch-up immunity | >100 mA per JESD 78 Class II; prevents destructive latch-up during transient overcurrent events. |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBTR16861DLR uses a 48-pin SSOP (DL) package with 0.63 mm lead pitch, JEDEC MO-118 compliant footprint, and 11.35 mm × 16.2 mm body dimensions. Pin 1 is located in Quadrant Q1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A1–1A10, 2A1–2A10 | Input/Output Port A (Bank 1 & 2) | Bidirectional signal terminals for first and second 10-bit data paths; electrically identical to B-side pins. |
| 1B1–1B10, 2B1–2B10 | Input/Output Port B (Bank 1 & 2) | Paired with corresponding A pins; forms low-resistance conductive path when OE is asserted. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output-enable control (active-low) | Independent enable for each 10-bit bank; drives switch ON (low) or high-Z (high). |
| VCC | Power supply | Single 4–5.5 V rail powers all internal FETs and level-shifting circuitry. |
| GND (Pins 11, 22) | Ground reference | Dual ground pins reduce ground bounce and improve noise margin in high-speed switching. |
| NC (Pins 1, 48) | No internal connection | Unbonded pads; must remain unconnected to avoid mechanical stress or parasitic coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 25-Ω matched on-resistance | Enables uniform signal transmission across all 20 channels, minimizing skew and reflection-induced jitter. |
| TTL-compatible control inputs | Eliminates need for level shifters when interfacing with legacy 5-V microcontrollers or FPGAs. |
| Independent dual OE controls | Allows selective activation of Bank 1 or Bank 2 - critical for time-multiplexed memory or peripheral arbitration. |
| No external termination required | Integrated series resistance suppresses ringing on PCB traces up to 10 cm, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count. |
| High ESD and latch-up immunity | Supports handling and operation in non-ESD-controlled manufacturing and field-repair environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FET bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT16210DLR | 24-bit, single OE control, higher ron (26–50 Ω), same DL package. | Lacks independent bank control; unsuitable for asymmetric bus gating. | Select when full 24-bit routing is needed and dual OE is unnecessary. |
| SN74CBTLV3245PWR | 8-bit, dual-supply (1.65–3.6 V), lower ron (3–6 Ω), TSSOP-24 package. | Designed for low-voltage LVTTL/LVCMOS systems; incompatible with 5-V TTL control levels. | Select only for 3.3-V or mixed-voltage domains where SN74CBTR16861DLR's 5-V tolerance is not required. |
Compared with SN74CBTR16861DLR, SN74CBT16210DLR offers more bits but less flexible control, while SN74CBTLV3245PWR delivers lower on-resistance at the cost of 5-V incompatibility - making SN74CBTR16861DLR the optimal choice for legacy 5-V TTL bus isolation with dual-bank timing control.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for SN74CBTR16861DLR?
The SN74CBTR16861DLR is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This industrial-grade range is validated per TI's recommended operating conditions and supported by thermal characterization (θJA = 63°C/W) in the DL package. The device maintains specified on-resistance, propagation delay, and switching thresholds across this full range, making SN74CBTR16861DLR suitable for deployment in non-climate-controlled industrial enclosures and outdoor equipment.
Does SN74CBTR16861DLR support bidirectional signal flow?
Yes, SN74CBTR16861DLR supports fully bidirectional signal flow between Port A and Port B for each 10-bit channel. When OE is low, the internal FET switch conducts equally in either direction - no inherent source/drain polarity is enforced. This allows SN74CBTR16861DLR to route data, addresses, or control signals in both directions without external direction-control logic, unlike unidirectional translators or level shifters.
Can SN74CBTR16861DLR be used with 3.3-V logic systems?
SN74CBTR16861DLR is designed for 4–5.5 V operation and requires VCC ≥ 4 V to meet its specified performance. While it may function at 3.3 V in some cases, TI does not characterize or guarantee parameters such as on-resistance, propagation delay, or VIH/VIL thresholds below 4 V. For reliable 3.3-V operation, SN74CBTR16861DLR is not recommended; instead, consider TI's CBTLV or LVC families explicitly rated for 3.3-V use.
What is the maximum continuous current per channel for SN74CBTR16861DLR?
The absolute maximum continuous channel current for SN74CBTR16861DLR is 128 mA, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. However, for reliable long-term operation within recommended conditions, TI recommends limiting steady-state current to ≤64 mA per channel - the test condition used to specify typical on-resistance (20–47 Ω). Exceeding this may increase self-heating and degrade timing or resistance stability in SN74CBTR16861DLR.
How does SN74CBTR16861DLR handle unused control inputs?
All unused control inputs on SN74CBTR16861DLR - including OE pins not in use - must be held statically at either VCC or GND to prevent floating states that could cause partial turn-on, increased ICC, or unpredictable switching. TI's application report SCBA004 explicitly warns against leaving CMOS control inputs unconnected. For SN74CBTR16861DLR, tying unused OE to VCC (to disable that bank) or GND (to enable it) via a 10-kΩ pull-up/down resistor is the recommended practice.
