Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ON-state resistance of the SN74CB3Q3253DBQR?
The SN74CB3Q3253DBQR has a typical ON-state resistance of approximately 5Ω at VCC = 3.3V and VIN = 1.5V. This low resistance minimizes signal attenuation and power dissipation, making it suitable for high-speed digital bus applications.
What voltage range does the SN74CB3Q3253DBQR support?
The SN74CB3Q3253DBQR operates with a VCC supply voltage range of 2.3V to 3.6V, with typical operation at 3.3V. The input/output voltage range spans 0V to VCC, making it compatible with standard 3.3V logic systems used in modern processors and FPGAs.
Can the SN74CB3Q3253DBQR be used for bidirectional signal switching?
Yes, the SN74CB3Q3253DBQR supports fully bidirectional data flow through its FET switch architecture. No direction control pin is required, which simplifies board design. This makes it ideal for I2C buses, memory interfaces, and other bidirectional communication lines.
What package does the SN74CB3Q3253DBQR come in?
The SN74CB3Q3253DBQR is housed in a 16-pin QSOP (Quarter-Size Outline Package) with a body width of 3.9mm. The compact QSOP package is well-suited for space-constrained applications such as laptops, mobile devices, and dense PCB designs.
What are common applications for the SN74CB3Q3253DBQR?
Common applications include bus multiplexing in servers and workstations, signal routing in portable electronics, I2C and SPI channel expansion, memory bus switching in DDR systems, and multi-channel test and measurement equipment. Its dual 4-to-1 architecture allows two independent signals to be routed from one of four sources simultaneously.
