Frequently Asked Questions
What is the SN74CB3T3257PWRE4 and what does it do?
The SN74CB3T3257PWRE4 is a 3.3 V quad 2-to-1 bidirectional bus exchanger (multiplexer) from Texas Instruments. It routes signals between two buses using an active-low enable and select input, supporting bidirectional data flow with near-zero propagation delay. It is commonly used to multiplex address or data lines in mixed 3.3 V digital systems.
What package does the SN74CB3T3257PWRE4 use and what are its key electrical characteristics?
The SN74CB3T3257PWRE4 is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP (PDSO-G16) package with tape-and-reel (PWRE4) packaging for automated PCB assembly. It operates from a 3.3 V supply, supports a load capacitance of up to 50 pF, and uses CMOS-level logic. The device is part of the CB3T/3VT family designed for low-voltage bus switching applications.
Is the SN74CB3T3257PWRE4 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the SN74CB3T3257PWRE4 is fully RoHS compliant and lead-free, as indicated by the JESD-609 code e4 and the Pb-free code confirmation. The 'E4' suffix in the part number denotes that it meets environmental compliance requirements, making it suitable for use in consumer electronics, industrial, and automotive applications that require green manufacturing standards.
How does the active-low enable control work on the SN74CB3T3257PWRE4?
The SN74CB3T3257PWRE4 uses an active-low enable (OE#) signal to control whether the bus exchanger passes signals or enters a high-impedance state. When OE# is driven low, the selected channel is enabled and data flows bidirectionally between the A and B ports. When OE# is high, all outputs are disabled (high-Z), effectively isolating the connected buses and preventing signal contention.
