20-bit bus isolation switch for 5V logic planes
The SN74CBT16210CDLR is a 20-bit bus switch from the 74CBT family, organized as two independent 10-bit circuits with a 1:1 switching topology — each channel is a single n-channel pass gate that connects or isolates a signal line with near-zero propagation delay.
Package, supply, and temperature — what drives the BOM fit
Housed in a 48-BSSOP with 0.295-inch (7.50 mm) body width, the footprint is wider than a standard 48-SSOP (5.30 mm) — the land pattern must match the 7.50 mm width or the part sits off the pads. The single-supply 4.5V to 5.5V rail means no secondary regulator is needed if the board already carries a 5V bus; the switch core draws its bias from the same rail as the logic it isolates. Two independent circuit banks let the designer gate the upper and lower 10-bit halves separately — useful for splitting a 20-bit address or data bus into two controlled segments.
ROHS3 compliant (exemption-free), the part ships without any of the restricted substances under EU 2015/863 — no lead, mercury, cadmium, or phthalates in the package or plating.
