Product details
Overview
SN74CBTS6800DBR from Texas Instruments is a 10-bit FET bus switch with precharged outputs and Schottky diode clamping, designed for high-speed TTL-compatible signal routing in live-insertion systems. It features 5-Ω on-state resistance, bidirectional switching, 0.25 ns typical propagation delay, and BIASV-controlled precharge to minimize noise during hot-swap events. Used in backplane interconnects and modular computing systems requiring robust I/O protection.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBTS6800DBR datasheet, SN74CBTS6800DBR pinout, SN74CBTS6800DBR application, or SN74CBTS6800DBR equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance matching, BIASV biasing flexibility, Schottky undershoot clamping to –2 V, live-insertion noise suppression, and SSOP-24 thermal performance (θJA = 63°C/W).
Technical Context
The SN74CBTS6800DBR implements a single-enable 10-bit FET-based analog switch architecture with integrated Schottky clamps on all A/B I/Os and a dedicated BIASV terminal. Its low ron (3–7 Ω) enables near-zero propagation delay and minimal signal distortion across bidirectional data paths.
When ON is high or VCC = 0 V, the B-port outputs are actively precharged to user-supplied BIASV via an internal ~10-kΩ equivalent resistor - a critical feature for suppressing transients during hot-plug operations in modular telecom and industrial control backplanes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-state resistance (ron) | 3–7 Ω at VCC = 4.5 V; ensures minimal voltage drop and signal attenuation in high-current bidirectional data paths. |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 0.25 ns (VCC = 5 V); supports >1 GHz signal integrity in high-speed parallel bus applications. |
| BIASV range | 1.3 V to VCC; allows flexible precharge level selection to match system logic thresholds and reduce ground bounce. |
| Undershoot clamping | –2 V via integrated Schottky diodes; protects downstream logic from ESD-induced negative transients without external components. |
| Supply voltage (VCC) | 4–5.5 V; compatible with standard 5-V TTL and mixed-voltage 3.3/5-V system interfaces. |
| Continuous channel current | 128 mA per switch; supports robust drive capability for terminated parallel buses and FPGA I/O expansion. |
| Input clamp current (IIK) | –50 mA; defines safe transient current handling limit before damage occurs under negative input stress. |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBTS6800DBR is housed in a 24-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with 0.65 mm pitch, 7.7 mm × 4.9 mm body size, and 1.2 mm max height - optimized for space-constrained industrial and telecom modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ON (Pin 1) | Enable control input | Active-low logic control: drives switch ON when low; forces B-port precharge to BIASV when high. |
| A1–A10 (Pins 2–11) | Port A data terminals | Unidirectional or bidirectional signal inputs/outputs connected to upstream logic or controller side of bus. |
| GND (Pin 12) | Ground reference | Primary return path for switch current and bias network; must be low-impedance for noise control. |
| VCC (Pin 13) | Power supply | Supplies switch FETs and internal logic; requires local 0.1 µF decoupling adjacent to pin. |
| B1–B10 (Pins 14–23) | Port B data terminals | Connected to downstream load or hot-swap module side; precharged to BIASV when disabled. |
| BIASV (Pin 24) | Bias voltage input | User-supplied voltage (1.3 V to VCC) setting precharge level for B-port during disable state. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precharged B-port outputs | Internal ~10-kΩ pull-up to BIASV eliminates floating states and suppresses live-insertion noise in modular backplanes. |
| Schottky diode clamping | Integrated diodes on all A/B I/Os clamp undershoot to –2 V, eliminating need for external TVS or diode networks. |
| TTL-compatible inputs | VIH = 2 V / VIL = 0.8 V thresholds ensure direct interfacing with legacy 5-V microcontrollers and FPGAs. |
| Bidirectional low-ron switching | 3–7 Ω on-resistance enables symmetric signal routing without directionality constraints or added isolation logic. |
| Live-insertion optimized | Combined BIASV precharge + Schottky clamping meets stringent hot-swap requirements in NEBS-compliant telecom shelves. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT16210CDL | 16-bit, 24-pin SSOP, higher ron (6–12 Ω), no BIASV precharge, only GND/VCC termination. | Lacks live-insertion support; suitable for static board-level interconnects but not hot-swap modules. | Select when channel count >10 is required and precharge is unnecessary. |
| SN74CBTLV3245PWR | 8-bit, TSSOP-20, 3.3-V only (VCC = 2.3–3.6 V), lower ron (2–4 Ω), no Schottky clamps or BIASV. | Designed for low-voltage portable systems; lacks –2 V undershoot protection and precharge functionality. | Choose for battery-powered or 3.3-V-only designs where live-insertion is not required. |
Compared with SN74CBTS6800DBR, SN74CBT16210CDL offers more channels but no precharge or Schottky clamping, limiting use in hot-swap systems; SN74CBTLV3245PWR provides lower voltage operation and ron but omits critical live-insertion features, making SN74CBTS6800DBR uniquely suited for 5-V modular infrastructure.

FAQ
What is the maximum undershoot voltage the SN74CBTS6800DBR can safely clamp?
The SN74CBTS6800DBR integrates Schottky diodes on all A/B I/O terminals that clamp undershoot to –2 V. This specification is verified per absolute maximum ratings and ensures protection against negative transients during hot-swap events without requiring external clamping components. The SN74CBTS6800DBR maintains this clamping behavior across its full operating temperature range (–40°C to 85°C) and supply voltage range (4 V to 5.5 V).
How does the BIASV pin function in the SN74CBTS6800DBR during enable/disable states?
In the SN74CBTS6800DBR, the BIASV pin supplies a user-selectable bias voltage (1.3 V to VCC) to precharge the B-port outputs when the ON pin is high or VCC = 0 V. This precharge occurs through an internal ~10-kΩ equivalent resistor, holding B1–B10 at BIASV to prevent floating and reduce noise during live insertion. When ON is low, the switch connects A and B ports normally, and BIASV has no effect on signal path operation.
What is the thermal performance of the SN74CBTS6800DBR in its SSOP package?
The SN74CBTS6800DBR in the DB (SSOP-24) package has a specified junction-to-ambient thermal impedance (θJA) of 63°C/W under standard JEDEC test conditions. This value assumes a two-layer PCB with minimum copper pour; actual thermal performance improves with enhanced copper area and thermal vias. The package's 1.2 mm max height and 0.65 mm lead pitch support compact, high-density layouts in space-constrained industrial modules.
Can the SN74CBTS6800DBR operate bidirectionally with matched signal integrity in both directions?
Yes, the SN74CBTS6800DBR is a true bidirectional FET bus switch with symmetrical on-state resistance (3–7 Ω) and near-zero propagation delay (0.25 ns typical). Its CMOS FET structure imposes no inherent directionality - signal integrity remains consistent whether driven from A-to-B or B-to-A, provided VCC is stable and load capacitance is within spec (≤50 pF). This makes the SN74CBTS6800DBR ideal for shared-bus architectures requiring transparent, low-distortion routing.
What are the recommended operating conditions for VCC and BIASV in the SN74CBTS6800DBR?
The SN74CBTS6800DBR requires VCC between 4 V and 5.5 V for reliable operation. BIASV must be set between 1.3 V and VCC, and must never exceed VCC. For optimal live-insertion noise suppression, BIASV is typically set to match the logic-high threshold of downstream receivers (e.g., 2.4 V for 5-V TTL). Both supplies must be well-decoupled: 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor at VCC and low-noise source for BIASV.
