Product Overview

The SN74CBTLV3257 is a Texas Instruments Signal_Chain device described as a 4-bit 1-of-2 FET multiplexer/demultiplexer. Its control scheme uses OE to disable the FET multiplexers/demultiplexers when high, while the select input controls routing between the A and B signal paths.

Recommended operation is specified at 2.3 to 3.6 V with a -40 to 85 °C operating free-air temperature range. Absolute maximum limits include -0.5 to 4.6 V for supply voltage and input voltage, 128 mA maximum continuous channel current, 150 °C maximum junction temperature, and -65 to 150 °C storage temperature.

Electrical characteristics include 10 µA maximum supply current at VCC = 3.6 V, ±1 µA maximum input leakage, and 15 µA maximum power-off leakage with VCC = 0. Ioff support enables partial-power-down operation and power-off isolation. Package options include SOIC(16), SSOP(16), TSSOP(16), TVSOP(16), VQFN(16), and UQFN(16), covering multiple assembly footprints.
