Product details
Overview
SN74CBTS16211DLR 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, and dual 12-bit or single 24-bit configurable operation across –40°C to 85°C.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBTS16211DLR datasheet, SN74CBTS16211DLR pinout, SN74CBTS16211DLR application, or SN74CBTS16211DLR equivalent, this device serves as a low-latency, bidirectional bus switch for DDR memory buffering, FPGA I/O expansion, and hot-swap-capable backplane interfaces where undershoot protection and minimal timing skew are critical.
Technical Context
The SN74CBTS16211DLR implements two independent 12-bit FET-based transmission gates controlled by separate OE inputs (1OE and 2OE), enabling selective connection of A-port to B-port with no internal latching or level translation. Each switch channel operates with TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2 V) and supports bidirectional signal flow without direction control pins.
Its integrated Schottky clamping diodes protect against negative undershoot down to –1.2 V at the I/O terminals, while the 5-Ω typical on-resistance ensures sub-nanosecond RC-limited propagation delay into 50-pF loads. The device draws only 3 µA quiescent current and exhibits 3 pF control-input capacitance, minimizing driver loading.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (ron) | 5 Ω typical - enables <0.35 ns propagation delay into 50-pF loads with minimal voltage drop under 64-mA switching current. |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.25 ns max at VCC = 5 V - supports >1 GHz data rates in point-to-point or stubbed bus topologies. |
| Supply voltage range | 4 V to 5.5 V - compatible with 5-V TTL and mixed-voltage systems; absolute max rating extends to 7 V. |
| I/O undershoot clamping | –1.2 V at –18 mA - Schottky diodes limit negative transients to prevent latch-up in downstream CMOS receivers. |
| Control input leakage | ±1 µA max - allows direct connection to FPGA or microcontroller GPIO without pull-up/down resistors. |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded systems including telecom line cards and industrial PLCs. |
| Package | SSOP-56 (DL) - 22.4 mm × 10.2 mm footprint with 0.65-mm pitch; JEDEC MO-194 compliant. |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBTS16211DLR is housed in a 56-pin Shrink Small-Outline Package (SSOP-DL), measuring 22.4 mm × 10.2 mm with 0.65-mm lead pitch and 1.2-mm maximum height. The package includes exposed thermal pad (non-electrical) and complies with JEDEC MO-194.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A1–1A12, 2A1–2A12 | Input/Output Port A (Group 1 & 2) | Bidirectional signal terminals for first and second 12-bit buses; internally connected to FET channels when respective OE is low. |
| 1B1–1B12, 2B1–2B12 | Input/Output Port B (Group 1 & 2) | Complementary bidirectional terminals paired with corresponding A pins; identical electrical characteristics and clamping. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output Enable (Active-Low) | Asynchronous gate controls: low = connect A↔B; high = high-impedance isolation; TTL-compatible thresholds. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single 4–5.5 V supply powers all switches and control logic; no separate I/O voltage required. |
| GND (Pins 8, 17, 33, 46) | Ground Reference | Four dedicated ground pins minimize ground bounce and ensure stable reference for all 24 channels. |
| NC (Pins 1, 56) | No Internal Connection | Unbonded pads; must remain unconnected per TI design - no routing or thermal relief required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 24-bit bidirectional switching | Configurable as dual 12-bit or unified 24-bit bus - eliminates need for multiple discrete switches in memory subsystems. |
| Schottky diode clamping | Integrated clamps limit I/O undershoot to –1.2 V - prevents false triggering and latch-up in sensitive receivers without external diodes. |
| 5-Ω low on-resistance | Minimizes insertion loss and timing skew across all 24 channels - critical for synchronous DDR and parallel bus integrity. |
| TTL-compatible control | Direct interface with legacy 5-V microcontrollers and FPGAs - no level-shifter needed for OE signals. |
| 0.25 ns propagation delay | Enables sub-1-ns edge alignment in high-speed data capture paths - verified at CL = 50 pF and VCC = 5 V. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT16210DLR | 20-bit version (two 10-bit sections); same Ron (5 Ω), tpd (0.25 ns), and SSOP-48 package; lacks two A/B pairs and one OE pin. | Suitable for narrower data buses (e.g., 16-bit ISA, CompactFlash); not pin-compatible due to 48-pin vs. 56-pin footprint. | Select when 20-bit width suffices and board space is constrained - saves 16 pins and ~12% PCB area. |
| SN74CBTLV16212DGGR | 24-bit, but LV (3.3-V only) family; Ron = 4 Ω typ, tpd = 0.2 ns, TSSOP-56 package; no Schottky clamping - requires external protection. | Optimized for 3.3-V systems (e.g., PCIe add-in cards); incompatible with 5-V TTL signaling without level shifters. | Choose for higher-speed 3.3-V designs where undershoot risk is mitigated by system-level filtering - not a drop-in replacement. |
Compared with SN74CBTS16211DLR, SN74CBT16210DLR offers reduced channel count in smaller package but cannot scale to 24-bit needs, while SN74CBTLV16212DGGR delivers faster timing at lower voltage but removes integrated clamping - requiring redesign for transient protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for SN74CBTS16211DLR?
The SN74CBTS16211DLR has an absolute maximum supply voltage of 7 V, but its recommended operating range is 4 V to 5.5 V. Operation outside this range may cause permanent damage or unpredictable switching behavior. All electrical specifications - including on-resistance, propagation delay, and undershoot clamping - are guaranteed only within the 4–5.5 V window specified in the datasheet.
Does SN74CBTS16211DLR support hot-swap applications?
Yes, SN74CBTS16211DLR supports hot-swap use cases due to its rail-to-rail I/O voltage tolerance (–0.5 V to 7 V), integrated Schottky clamping (–1.2 V undershoot limit), and high-impedance isolation when OE is high. These features prevent bus contention and latch-up during live insertion/removal, making it suitable for modular backplanes and field-replaceable units in industrial systems.
Can SN74CBTS16211DLR be used with 3.3-V logic systems?
SN74CBTS16211DLR is TTL-compatible and optimized for 5-V operation; its VIH minimum is 2 V and VIL maximum is 0.8 V, so it will accept 3.3-V logic levels as inputs. However, output swing is rail-referenced to VCC, so driving 3.3-V receivers requires VCC = 3.3 V - which is outside its recommended range and invalidates all guaranteed specs. Use SN74CBTLV16212 for native 3.3-V systems.
How many independent switch sections does SN74CBTS16211DLR contain?
SN74CBTS16211DLR contains two independent 12-bit switch sections: Section 1 (controlled by 1OE) connects 1A1–1A12 to 1B1–1B12, and Section 2 (controlled by 2OE) connects 2A1–2A12 to 2B1–2B12. Each section operates autonomously - enabling asymmetric configurations such as 12-bit + 12-bit, or cascaded 24-bit paths with staggered enable timing.
Is thermal performance data available for SN74CBTS16211DLR in SSOP-DL package?
Yes, the SSOP-DL package for SN74CBTS16211DLR has a specified junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 56°C/W under standard JEDEC conditions. This value assumes a 1-inch² copper pad on the PCB with two internal layers. For continuous 128-mA channel current operation, junction temperature rise remains within safe limits (<85°C) at ambient ≤70°C - validated per TI's SCDS050D datasheet Section 6.2.
