Product details
Overview
SN74CBTS3306DR from Texas Instruments is a dual 1-bit bus switch IC with independent TTL-compatible enable control, 5-Ω on-state resistance, Schottky-clamped I/Os for undershoot protection, and operation across −40°C to 85°C - used in high-speed data path isolation and level-shifting between mixed-voltage logic domains.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBTS3306DR datasheet, SN74CBTS3306DR pinout, SN74CBTS3306DR application, or SN74CBTS3306DR equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance matching, enable timing (ten/tdis < 5.6 ns), low off-capacitance (6 pF), rail-to-rail signal pass-through capability, and SOIC-8 package compatibility with legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent bidirectional analog switches controlled by separate OE inputs, each enabling direct A↔B signal conduction when OE is low. The internal architecture uses NMOS pass transistors with integrated Schottky clamps on all I/O pins to suppress negative undershoot below −1.2 V.
It operates from 4 V to 5.5 V supply, supports TTL-level control inputs (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V), and delivers sub-nanosecond propagation delay (tpd ≤ 0.35 ns at VCC = 4 V) under 50-pF load - optimized for hot-swap, memory address/data gating, and JTAG boundary-scan isolation applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (ron) | 5 Ω typical - ensures minimal voltage drop and signal distortion for 3.3-V/5-V digital signals up to 128 mA per channel. |
| Supply voltage range (VCC) | 4 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5-V logic rails and tolerant of 4-V industrial supplies. |
| Enable timing (ten / tdis) | 5.6 ns / 4.6 ns max at VCC = 4 V - enables fast channel activation/deactivation for dynamic bus arbitration. |
| Off-state capacitance (Cio(OFF)) | 6 pF - minimizes capacitive loading and crosstalk when switch is disabled. |
| Input clamp voltage (VIK) | −1.2 V at II = −18 mA - protects downstream logic from −1.2 V undershoot transients via integrated Schottky diodes. |
| Operating temperature | −40°C to 85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded systems and communications equipment. |
| Package | SOIC-8 (D package) - industry-standard 150-mil body with 1.27-mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012 compliant. |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBTS3306DR is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package with 1.27-mm lead pitch and 1.75-mm maximum height. Pin 1 is located at the top-left corner adjacent to the notch or dot marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (1OE) | Channel 1 output-enable input | Active-low control: drives 1A↔1B path when low; high-impedance isolation when high. |
| 2 (1A) | Channel 1 port A terminal | Bidirectional signal node connected directly to internal pass transistor; supports rail-to-rail voltage swing. |
| 3 (1B) | Channel 1 port B terminal | Bidirectional signal node; electrically identical to 1A with matched on-resistance and capacitance. |
| 4 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for supply current and I/O clamp currents; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 5 (2OE) | Channel 2 output-enable input | Independent active-low enable for second switch; allows asynchronous control of dual channels. |
| 6 (2A) | Channel 2 port A terminal | Second bidirectional I/O node; fully isolated from Channel 1 except shared VCC/GND. |
| 7 (2B) | Channel 2 port B terminal | Second bidirectional I/O node; supports same electrical characteristics as 1A/1B. |
| 8 (VCC) | Positive supply | Power rail for internal logic and pass transistors; bypass capacitor required near pin for switching stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent bus switches | Enables simultaneous but separately controlled signal routing on two channels without interference. |
| TTL-compatible control inputs | Accepts standard 5-V TTL logic levels (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) without level translation circuitry. |
| Schottky-clamped I/Os | Prevents negative undershoot beyond −1.2 V during fast edge transitions, protecting connected logic. |
| Low on-state resistance (5 Ω typ) | Maintains signal integrity for high-speed digital buses (e.g., address/data lines) with minimal RC delay. |
| Fast enable/disable timing | Sub-5-ns enable/disable delays support real-time bus arbitration and hot-plug detection circuits. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT3306D | Same pinout and function but lacks Schottky clamps on I/Os; higher undershoot vulnerability (VIK = −0.7 V). | Not suitable for hot-swap or noisy environments where undershoot exceeds −0.7 V. | Select SN74CBTS3306DR when robust transient suppression is required. |
| 74LVC1G3157DBVR | Single-channel, 3.3-V only supply (1.65–5.5 V); lower on-resistance (3.5 Ω), but no integrated undershoot clamps. | Requires external protection diodes for undershoot control; limited to single-path use. | Choose for space-constrained designs needing lower Ron, but add discrete clamping if undershoot > −0.5 V. |
Compared with SN74CBT3306D and 74LVC1G3157DBVR, SN74CBTS3306DR uniquely combines dual-channel operation, 5-Ω Ron, and −1.2-V I/O clamping in a standard SOIC-8 package - making it optimal for industrial hot-swap and mixed-rail isolation where reliability trumps minimal footprint.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating per channel for the SN74CBTS3306DR?
The SN74CBTS3306DR supports a continuous channel current of 128 mA per switch path, verified under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4–5.5 V, TA = −40°C to 85°C). This rating ensures reliable conduction for standard 5-V digital bus signals without thermal derating in typical PCB layouts with adequate copper area.
Does the SN74CBTS3306DR require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its OE inputs?
No - the SN74CBTS3306DR OE inputs are TTL-compatible and internally biased; however, TI recommends tying unused OE inputs directly to VCC or GND to prevent floating states that may cause unintended switching. External resistors are unnecessary unless interfacing with open-drain controllers.
Can the SN74CBTS3306DR operate with a 3.3-V supply voltage?
No - the SN74CBTS3306DR has a minimum recommended VCC of 4 V per the datasheet. Operation below 4 V is not characterized and may result in undefined switching behavior, increased on-resistance, or failure to meet timing specifications. For 3.3-V systems, consider TI's LVC-series alternatives.
What is the purpose of the Schottky diodes integrated into the SN74CBTS3306DR I/O pins?
The Schottky diodes in the SN74CBTS3306DR provide undershoot clamping down to −1.2 V (at −18 mA), protecting connected logic devices from negative voltage transients caused by fast edge rates or inductive coupling. This feature eliminates the need for external clamping diodes in hot-swap and high-noise industrial environments.
Is the SN74CBTS3306DR pin-compatible with other members of the SN74CBTS3306 family?
Yes - the SN74CBTS3306DR shares identical pinout, electrical behavior, and functional operation with SN74CBTS3306D, SN74CBTS3306PW, and SN74CBTS3306PWR. Only packaging (SOIC vs. TSSOP) and reel quantity differ; all variants use the same D or PW package drawings and top-side marking "CR306".
