Part Number: SN74CBT3125
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMUX1111, SN74LV4066A

Hello guys,

One of my customers is considering using SN74CBT3125 for their new products.

At this moment, they have the following question.

Could you please give me your reply?

Q. SN74CBT3125 datasheet (Ver. SCDS021I) shows logic diagram on page 2.

We can see one FET only at 1 channel SW.

In other analog datasheet, we often see two FETs, PMOSFET and NMOSFET as the SW in block diagram.

Are the two FETs, PMOSFET and NMOSFET combined and written as one FET in SN74CBT3125 datasheet case?

Your reply would be much appreciated.

Best regards,

Kazuya.

CBT devices are very old and were designed for TTL signals, which do not go near 5 V. So they have only a single N-channel MOSFET.

For rail-to-rail signals, use an analog switch like the TMUX1111, or SN74LV4066A (with inverted control signals).

Hi Kazuya,

Our switches and multiplexers can have several different architectures depending on what the device is being designed to do. In this instance, the SN74CBT3125 uses a single NFET architecture. We have a helpful digital selection guide I have linked below that goes into detail on how each family was designed (CBT family in this case) if you are curious and would like more information on these kinds of devices.

Thanks!

Bryan

Hello Clemens,

Thank you very much for your reply.

I understood that SN74CBT3125 can't handle rail-to-rail signal because the device uses single Nch-MOSFET.

Your reply is very helpful for the customer and me.

Thank you again and best regards,

Kazuya.

Hi Bryan,

Thank you very much for your reply.

The selection guide is very helpful. I will tell the link to the customer and I will utilize the guide for switch device selecting.

Thank you again and best regards,

Kazuya.
