Product details
Overview
SN74CBTS3384DBQR from Texas Instruments is a 10-bit FET bus switch with Schottky diode clamping, designed for high-speed TTL-compatible signal routing in backplane and board-level interconnects. It features dual 5-bit switches, 5-Ω on-state resistance, <0.35 ns propagation delay at 4 V, and operates from –40°C to 85°C with 4–5.5 V supply. Used in hot-swap-capable data paths where low capacitance and undershoot protection are critical.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBTS3384DBQR datasheet, SN74CBTS3384DBQR pinout, SN74CBTS3384DBQR application, or SN74CBTS3384DBQR equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance matching, I/O clamp voltage (–0.6 V), control-input leakage (<1 µA), channel current rating (128 mA), and TSSOP-24 thermal performance (θJA = 88°C/W).
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 5-bit FET-based analog switches controlled by active-low OE inputs. Each switch path supports bidirectional signal flow between A and B ports with no internal logic inversion or level translation - only passive MOSFET conduction with integrated Schottky clamps for undershoot suppression.
It operates as a voltage-controlled transmission gate: when OE is low, the channel turns on with ron = 5–7 Ω (typical); when OE is high, the switch presents >10⁹ Ω isolation. Input capacitance is 6 pF per control pin, and off-state I/O capacitance is 6.5 pF - enabling clean high-frequency switching up to ~1 GHz small-signal bandwidth.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (ron) | 5–7 Ω at VCC = 4.5 V, ensuring minimal voltage drop and signal attenuation in 50-Ω systems. |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.35 ns max at VCC = 4 V, CL = 50 pF - supports sub-nanosecond timing-critical interconnects. |
| I/O clamp voltage (VIK) | –0.6 V at II = 18 mA - actively limits negative undershoot to protect downstream CMOS inputs. |
| Supply voltage range | 4–5.5 V - compatible with 5-V TTL and mixed-voltage 4.5-V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Control input leakage (IIL/IIH) | ±1 µA max - enables direct connection to microcontroller GPIOs without pull-up/down burden. |
| Channel current rating | 128 mA continuous - sufficient for driving multiple CMOS loads or short PCB traces. |
| Off-state I/O capacitance | 6.5 pF - minimizes capacitive loading on buses during disable, preserving signal integrity. |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBTS3384DBQR is housed in a 24-pin TSSOP (PW) package, 7.8 mm × 4.4 mm × 1.2 mm, with 0.65 mm pitch and exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin 1 is located at top-left corner with index marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE | Output-enable for first 5-bit switch (1A1–1A5 ↔ 1B1–1B5) | Active-low control: drives switch ON when low; high-impedance isolation when high. |
| 2OE | Output-enable for second 5-bit switch (2A1–2A5 ↔ 2B1–2B5) | Independent enable allows asynchronous gating of two data lanes without shared timing constraints. |
| 1A1–1A5, 2A1–2A5 | Port A inputs/outputs (first and second 5-bit banks) | Bidirectional terminals - no direction pin; signal flow determined by external system topology. |
| 1B1–1B5, 2B1–2B5 | Port B inputs/outputs (first and second 5-bit banks) | Electrically identical to Port A; Schottky clamps present on all A/B pins for bidirectional protection. |
| VCC | Positive supply | Must be decoupled locally; powers internal FET gates and clamp diodes - no internal regulation. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for all signals and supply; recommended to tie to solid ground plane under exposed pad area. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent 5-bit bus switches | Enables separate enable control of two data groups - e.g., address vs. data lines - reducing timing skew across subsystems. |
| Integrated Schottky clamping diodes | Clamps I/O undershoot to –0.6 V, eliminating need for external TVS or diode networks in hot-swap or cable-disconnect scenarios. |
| Low 5–7 Ω on-state resistance | Maintains signal fidelity in impedance-matched paths; reduces insertion loss below 0.1 dB at 100 MHz for 50-Ω traces. |
| 6.5 pF off-state I/O capacitance | Minimizes crosstalk and reflections when disabled - critical for multi-drop bus architectures with stub-sensitive layouts. |
| TTL-compatible control inputs | Accepts standard 0.8 V / 2.0 V logic thresholds - interoperable with legacy 5-V microcontrollers and FPGAs without level-shifting. |
Applications
| Hot-Swap Backplane Interface | Memory Subsystem Isolation |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Inserting/removing line cards in telecom chassis while main backplane remains powered. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional signal gate between card-edge connector and backplane bus, enabled only after power sequencing completes.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FET bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT3384DBQR | Omits "S" in part number; older revision without Schottky clamps - VIK = –1.2 V, higher undershoot risk. | Not suitable for hot-swap or noisy connector environments requiring robust undershoot suppression. | Select SN74CBTS3384DBQR when I/O clamping to –0.6 V is required for system-level ESD/connector transient immunity. |
| 74LVC1G3157GW,125 | Single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switch, 5-V tolerant, ron = 10 Ω, no integrated clamps, 1-channel only. | Requires five units to match 10-bit functionality; lacks bank-level OE control and undershoot protection. | Consider only for low-pin-count prototyping or space-constrained designs where full 10-bit integration is unnecessary. |
Compared with SN74CBT3384DBQR and 74LVC1G3157GW,125, the SN74CBTS3384DBQR uniquely delivers dual-bank 5-bit switching with factory-integrated Schottky clamps, enabling single-chip hot-swap compliance and sub-0.4 ns propagation in compact TSSOP-24 - critical for backplane and memory isolation where timing and signal integrity co-constrain layout.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for SN74CBTS3384DBQR?
The SN74CBTS3384DBQR is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This range is validated per TI's recommended operating conditions and supported by thermal characterization (θJA = 88°C/W for TSSOP-24). Derating is required above 70°C ambient if power dissipation exceeds 120 mW - typical under worst-case 128 mA channel current and 7 Ω ron.
Does SN74CBTS3384DBQR support bidirectional signal flow?
Yes, SN74CBTS3384DBQR supports fully bidirectional analog signal routing between Port A and Port B terminals. There is no internal direction control - signal direction is determined solely by external source/sink configuration. The FET switch architecture ensures symmetrical ron, capacitance, and clamp behavior on both sides, making it ideal for data/address bus applications.
Can SN74CBTS3384DBQR be used with 3.3-V logic systems?
SN74CBTS3384DBQR requires a 4–5.5 V VCC supply and is not 3.3-V compatible. Its control inputs are TTL-level (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V), but the internal FET threshold and clamp diode forward voltage assume ≥4 V operation. For 3.3-V systems, TI recommends SN74CB3Q3245 or SN74LVC1G3157 - not SN74CBTS3384DBQR.
What is the purpose of the Schottky diodes in SN74CBTS3384DBQR?
The Schottky diodes in SN74CBTS3384DBQR clamp negative voltage excursions on all I/O pins (A and B ports) to –0.6 V at 18 mA, preventing undershoot from damaging downstream CMOS inputs during hot-plug events, cable disconnects, or inductive load switching. This eliminates the need for discrete clamping components in ruggedized interconnect designs.
Is SN74CBTS3384DBQR pin-compatible with other packages in the same family?
Yes - SN74CBTS3384DBQR (TSSOP-24), SN74CBTS3384DWR (SOIC-24), and SN74CBTS3384DBR (SSOP-24) share identical pinout and electrical specifications. Mechanical dimensions differ, but PCB footprint and signal routing are interchangeable across these packages. The DBQ variant (QSOP-24) also matches pin-for-pin despite minor package height variation.
