Product details
Overview
SN74CBTS3306PW 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 for FPGA-to-ASIC interconnects.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBTS3306PW datasheet, SN74CBTS3306PW pinout, SN74CBTS3306PW application, or SN74CBTS3306PW equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance matching, OE-controlled bidirectional switching latency, thermal performance in TSSOP-8, and compatibility with 3.3-V/5-V mixed-signal logic domains.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent single-pole single-throw (SPST) analog switches controlled by separate OE inputs, each enabling bidirectional signal flow between A and B ports when 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.
Switching behavior is strictly level-sensitive: no latching or memory function exists. Propagation delay is RC-limited (typ. 0.25 ns at VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF), and disable timing (tdis) is faster than enable (ten), supporting precise bus turn-off sequencing in shared-data systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (ron) | 5 Ω typical at VCC = 4.5 V, 30 mA - ensures minimal voltage drop and signal distortion in 50-Ω impedance-matched paths. |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.25 ns max at VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF - supports >1 GHz data rates in short-reach digital interconnects. |
| Supply voltage range (VCC) | 4 V to 5.5 V - compatible with both 3.3-V LVTTL and 5-V TTL logic families without level shifters. |
| Input clamp voltage (VIK) | −1.2 V at II = −18 mA - protects downstream logic from −2-V transient undershoot common in hot-swap or cable-disconnect events. |
| Thermal resistance (θJA) | 149°C/W for TSSOP-8 package - requires derating above 65°C ambient in sustained 128-mA channel current operation. |
| Enable/disable timing (ten/tdis) | 5 ns / 4.3 ns max at VCC = 5 V - enables tight timing margins for synchronous bus arbitration and clock-domain crossing. |
| Control input thresholds (VIH/VIL) | 2 V / 0.8 V - fully compatible with standard TTL logic levels, eliminating need for external biasing. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-8 (PW) package: 3.0 mm × 4.4 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch, 1.2 mm max height, JEDEC MO-153 compliant, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Positive supply rail - must be decoupled locally with ≤100 nF ceramic capacitor to sustain fast-switching current transients. |
| 2 | 2OE | Active-low enable for second switch - drives high-impedance state on pins 3 (2B) and 4 (2A) when logic high. |
| 3 | 2B | Port B terminal of second switch - bidirectionally connected to 2A when 2OE = low; clamped to −1.2 V minimum. |
| 4 | 2A | Port A terminal of second switch - electrically identical to 2B; shares same on-resistance and timing specs. |
| 5 | 1OE | Active-low enable for first switch - independently controls connection between pins 6 (1A) and 7 (1B). |
| 6 | 1A | Port A terminal of first switch - supports 128 mA continuous current; Schottky diode limits reverse current. |
| 7 | 1B | Port B terminal of first switch - interchangeable with 1A; no directionality or master/slave assignment. |
| 8 | GND | Reference ground - must be low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce during simultaneous switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5-Ω low on-resistance | Minimizes insertion loss and duty-cycle distortion in high-speed digital signals up to 500 Mbps. |
| TTL-compatible control inputs | Eliminates need for level translators when interfacing with legacy 5-V microcontrollers or FPGAs. |
| Integrated Schottky clamps | Prevents latch-up and I/O damage from −2-V undershoot transients without external diodes. |
| Independent dual-channel control | Enables selective isolation of two independent data lines (e.g., address vs. data bus segments) with no crosstalk. |
| 149°C/W thermal resistance (TSSOP) | Supports 128 mA per channel at ≤65°C ambient without heatsinking in compact 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CB3Q3245PW | 8-bit wide, 3.3-V only, 4-Ω ron, higher ICC (12 µA), no Schottky clamps | Requires external undershoot protection; suited for fixed-width parallel buses, not dual independent channels | Choose when scaling to 8-bit data paths with tighter ron tolerance and lower VCC headroom. |
| 74LVC1G3157GW | Single-channel, 1.65–5.5-V operation, 10-Ω ron, 3.5 ns tpd, no I/O clamps | Lacks dual independent control; requires two units for equivalent functionality; higher propagation delay | Prefer for space-constrained designs needing single-line isolation with wider voltage flexibility but lower speed demand. |
Compared with SN74CBTS3306PW, SN74CB3Q3245PW offers higher integration but sacrifices independent channel control and undershoot resilience, while 74LVC1G3157GW trades dual-channel capability for broader supply range and smaller footprint - neither provides pin-compatible replacement.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating per channel for the SN74CBTS3306PW?
The SN74CBTS3306PW supports up to 128 mA continuous channel current per switch, verified under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4–5.5 V, TA = −40°C to 85°C). Exceeding this limit risks thermal runaway due to its 149°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance in the TSSOP-8 package. Derating is required above 65°C ambient temperature.
Does the SN74CBTS3306PW support 3.3-V logic inputs while operating at 5-V VCC?
Yes, the SN74CBTS3306PW accepts 3.3-V logic-level inputs at its OE pins even when VCC = 5 V, because its VIH threshold is specified at 2 V min and VIL at 0.8 V max - well within 3.3-V CMOS logic swing. No level-shifting circuitry is needed, making it ideal for mixed-voltage board designs.
Can the SN74CBTS3306PW be used in bidirectional analog signal paths such as I²C or SMBus?
No - the SN74CBTS3306PW is not rated for open-drain bus protocols like I²C or SMBus. Its internal structure lacks weak pull-up capability and its 5-Ω on-resistance creates excessive voltage drop on pull-up resistors. It is intended exclusively for push-pull digital signal isolation, not wired-AND bus topologies.
What is the purpose of the Schottky diodes on the I/O pins of the SN74CBTS3306PW?
The Schottky diodes on all I/O pins of the SN74CBTS3306PW clamp negative undershoot transients to −1.2 V (at −18 mA), protecting downstream CMOS inputs from latch-up or oxide damage during hot-swap, cable disconnect, or ESD events. This eliminates the need for external clamping diodes in ruggedized industrial interfaces.
Is the SN74CBTS3306PW pin-compatible with other members of the SN74CBTS3306 family?
Yes - the SN74CBTS3306PW shares identical pinout and electrical specifications with SN74CBTS3306D (SOIC-8) and SN74CBTS3306PWR (TSSOP-8 tape-and-reel), differing only in package dimensions and thermal characteristics. Layout reuse is possible between PW and PWR variants; SOIC-8 requires footprint adaptation.
