Product details
Overview
SN74CBTS16211DL from Texas Instruments is a 24-bit FET bus switch with Schottky diode clamping, designed for high-speed TTL-compatible signal routing in memory and data-path applications. It features 5-Ω on-state resistance, 0.25 ns propagation delay at 5 V, dual 12-bit or single 24-bit configurable operation, and operates from –40°C to 85°C.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBTS16211DL datasheet, SN74CBTS16211DL pinout, SN74CBTS16211DL application, or SN74CBTS16211DL equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package mapping to SSOP-56 (DL), functional role in hot-swap and level-shifting systems, and validated alternative options for bus isolation design.
Technical Context
The SN74CBTS16211DL implements two independent 12-bit FET-based analog switches controlled by separate OE inputs (1OE and 2OE), enabling selective connection of A-port to B-port with minimal RC delay. Its low on-resistance (5–7 Ω) and integrated Schottky clamps suppress undershoot transients on I/O lines.
It supports TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2 V) and operates across 4–5.5 V supply range. The device exhibits low dynamic power consumption (ICC ≤ 3 µA static, ∆ICC ≤ 2.5 mA per active control input) and maintains signal integrity with Cio(OFF) = 5.5 pF and Ci = 3 pF.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (ron) | 5–7 Ω - Enables low-loss signal pass-through with <10 mV voltage drop at 30 mA, critical for maintaining logic margins in high-speed buses. |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.25 ns at VCC = 5 V - Supports >1 GHz switching rates in memory address/data paths without timing skew. |
| Supply voltage (VCC) | 4–5.5 V - Compatible with 5-V TTL and mixed-voltage system backplanes requiring robust rail tolerance. |
| Input clamp current (IIK) | –50 mA - Protects against –1.2 V undershoot events via internal Schottky diodes, eliminating need for external TVS. |
| Off-state capacitance (Cio) | 5.5 pF - Minimizes capacitive loading on driven nets, preserving signal rise/fall times in multi-drop bus topologies. |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to 85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded controllers, telecom line cards, and test equipment. |
| Control input leakage (IIH/IIL) | ±150 µA / ±1 µA - Ensures reliable enable/disable behavior with standard CMOS/TTL drivers without pull-up/down burden. |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBTS16211DL is housed in a 56-pin SSOP (Shrink Small-Outline Package) with 0.5-mm pitch, 11.4 mm × 7.9 mm body size, and 1.2 mm max height - compliant with JEDEC MO-194. Pin 1 is located in quadrant Q1 per tape-and-reel orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE | Active-low enable inputs | Independently activate 12-bit switch banks; low = A↔B path enabled, high = high-impedance isolation. |
| 1A1–1A12, 2A1–2A12 | Input ports | Source-side terminals for each 12-bit bank; accept TTL/CMOS logic levels and drive downstream loads. |
| 1B1–1B12, 2B1–2B12 | Output ports | Sink-side terminals; bidirectionally pass signals with matched impedance and Schottky-clamped I/O. |
| VCC | Power supply | Single 4–5.5 V rail powers all switch FETs and internal logic; decoupling required within 1 cm of pin 27. |
| GND (Pins 8, 17, 32, 43) | Ground reference | Four dedicated ground pins minimize ground bounce and ensure stable return path for 24-bit parallel switching. |
| NC (Pins 1, 56) | No internal connection | Unbonded pads - must remain unconnected; no routing or thermal relief required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent 12-bit banks | Enables flexible partitioning - e.g., isolate address vs. data bus segments or support two independent peripheral interfaces. |
| Schottky diode clamping on all I/Os | Prevents negative undershoot below –1.2 V during fast edge transitions, eliminating external clamping components. |
| 5-Ω typical on-resistance | Reduces insertion loss and maintains signal amplitude integrity across 24-bit parallel traces up to 100 MHz. |
| TTL-compatible control and I/O | Direct interface with legacy 5-V microcontrollers, FPGAs, and ASICs without level-shifter circuitry. |
| Low dynamic power (∆ICC ≤ 2.5 mA per OE) | Minimizes supply current spikes during switching events, easing decoupling design in dense PCB layouts. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT16211DGGR | TSSOP-56 (DGG) package; identical electrical specs but 64°C/W θJA vs. DL's 56°C/W; same pinout and function. | Better suited for reflow-soldered high-density boards where TSSOP footprint saves area over SSOP. | Select SN74CBT16211DGGR if board space is constrained and thermal margin allows higher junction temp rise. |
| SN74CBTD16211DGVR | TVSOP-56 (DGV) package; 48°C/W θJA; same ron/tpd but lower thermal resistance; RoHS-compliant NIPDAU finish. | Ideal for thermally demanding industrial environments requiring enhanced heat dissipation and lead-free compliance. | Choose SN74CBTD16211DGVR when operating near 85°C ambient and strict RoHS/MSL-1 requirements apply. |
Compared with SN74CBTS16211DL, SN74CBT16211DGGR offers identical functionality in a smaller TSSOP footprint but with higher thermal resistance, while SN74CBTD16211DGVR provides superior thermal performance and RoHS compliance in a thinner TVSOP package - both retain pin-for-pin compatibility and require no schematic or layout changes.

FAQ
What is the maximum undershoot voltage the SN74CBTS16211DL can safely clamp?
The SN74CBTS16211DL integrates Schottky diodes that clamp input/output undershoot to –1.2 V when II = –18 mA, as specified in the absolute maximum ratings table. This protects downstream logic from negative transients without external components. The clamping action is effective across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to 85°C) and applies to all 24 I/O pins. SN74CBTS16211DL achieves this with no additional biasing or external circuitry.
Does the SN74CBTS16211DL support bidirectional signal flow?
Yes, the SN74CBTS16211DL supports fully bidirectional signal flow between A and B ports - there is no designated input or output side. When 1OE is low, signals pass freely between 1A1–1A12 and 1B1–1B12 regardless of direction. The same applies to the 2A/2B bank under 2OE control. This makes SN74CBTS16211DL ideal for data bus isolation where read/write traffic flows both ways.
What is the recommended decoupling strategy for the SN74CBTS16211DL?
TI recommends placing a 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor between VCC (pin 27) and the nearest GND pin (e.g., pin 17 or 32), located within 1 cm of the package. For systems with heavy simultaneous switching, add a bulk 4.7-µF tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor near the power entry point. SN74CBTS16211DL's low ICC (≤3 µA) reduces average current demand, but fast tpd (0.25 ns) necessitates low-inductance local decoupling to suppress supply noise.
Can the SN74CBTS16211DL be used with 3.3-V logic systems?
The SN74CBTS16211DL is rated for VCC = 4–5.5 V and requires TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V), making it compatible with 3.3-V outputs only if those outputs meet TTL voltage levels - many 3.3-V CMOS drivers do. However, SN74CBTS16211DL cannot be powered from 3.3 V. For native 3.3-V operation, consider TI's SN74CBT3244 or SN74CBT16210 families instead of SN74CBTS16211DL.
How does the SN74CBTS16211DL handle unused control inputs?
All unused control inputs - including 1OE and 2OE - must be held at a defined logic level (VCC or GND) to prevent floating states that could cause partial turn-on, increased ICC, or unpredictable switching behavior. TI's application report SCBA004 explicitly warns against leaving CMOS control inputs unconnected. For SN74CBTS16211DL, tie unused OE pins directly to VCC via a 10-kΩ resistor or hard-connect to rail depending on system architecture.
