sn74cbt3257: Alternative Options of pin configuration

Part Number: SN74CBT3257
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TS3USB3000, TS3DV642

Hello,

i am using that multiplexer and makeing the pcb-layout, the question came up whether ther is another pin configuration available for that device.

The pin pattern In1A, In1B, Out1, In2A,In2B,Out2.... makes the layout not very easy. Much easier would be on one site (i.e. pin 1-8) all inputs like In1A,In2A,In3A,in4A,in1B....,in4b. Does somebody else have a similar problem( and maybe fixed it)?

  • Hello Michael,

    For the SN74CBT3257 we only offer it in packages with pin configurations like the ones found in the datasheet.  Many of our other 4 channel single pole double throw switches have similar configurations.  However, we do have single pole double throw switches with configurations that may be more like what you are looking for.  If you only need three channels, then perhaps you might consider the ts3usb3000 (figure 1).  If you were actually planning on using multiple 4 channel devices, perhaps you may want to consider the TS3DV642 (Figure 2).
