Product details
Overview
PI3A223ZMEX from Diodes Incorporated is a dual SPDT analog switch fabricated in CMOS technology, designed for low-distortion audio/video signal routing and power path switching in portable electronics. It delivers 0.45 Ω on-resistance at 4.2 V, rail-to-rail signal handling (0 V to VDD), and break-before-make switching with 8 ns delay to prevent signal shorting. Used in headset switching and relay replacement circuits where low RON and high off-isolation are critical.
For engineers reviewing the PI3A223ZMEX datasheet, PI3A223ZMEX pinout, PI3A223ZMEX application, or PI3A223ZMEX equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance flatness (<0.26 Ω over signal range), crosstalk rejection (–108 dB @ 100 kHz), isolation (–83 dB @ 100 kHz), and compatibility with 1.8–4.2 V logic-supply systems.
Technical Context
The PI3A223ZMEX implements two independent SPDT switches with complementary control inputs (IN1/IN2), each selecting between normally closed (NC) and normally open (NO) paths to a shared common (COM). Its CMOS architecture enables bidirectional analog signal flow and supports both analog multiplexing and digital bus switching roles.
Break-before-make timing (8 ns typical at 4.2 V) ensures no overlap between NC and NO conduction states during transition. The device operates across –40°C to +85°C with 4 kV HBM ESD rating and maintains <1 μA leakage in both on- and off-states under full voltage swing conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance | 0.45 Ω at VDD = 4.2 V - enables minimal voltage drop and power loss in battery-powered signal paths |
| Signal Range | Rail-to-rail (0 V to VDD) - supports full-swing audio and logic-level signals without clipping |
| Off Isolation | –83 dB @ 100 kHz - suppresses unwanted coupling between inactive channels in multi-source systems |
| Crosstalk Rejection | –108 dB @ 100 kHz - preserves signal integrity when routing adjacent audio or video channels |
| Supply Voltage | 1.8 V to 4.2 V - compatible with Li-ion battery discharge profile and modern low-voltage SoC I/O domains |
| Turn-On/Off Time | 13 ns / 38 ns at 4.2 V - supports fast switching in dynamic routing applications like USB/audio port sharing |
| ESD Rating | 4 kV HBM - provides robustness against handling-induced transients in assembly and end-user environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-pin Ultra-thin Quad Flat No-Lead (UQFN), 1.4 mm × 1.8 mm, 0.4 mm pitch, ZM code, Pb-free and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VDD | Positive supply input - powers internal CMOS switch array and level-shifting logic |
| 2 | NO1 | Normally open terminal of Switch 1 - connects to COM1 only when IN1 = HIGH |
| 3 | COM1 | Common output/data port of Switch 1 - bidirectional signal path shared by NO1 and NC1 |
| 4 | IN1 | Digital control input for Switch 1 - HIGH selects NO1→COM1; LOW selects NC1→COM1 |
| 5 | NC1 | Normally closed terminal of Switch 1 - connects to COM1 only when IN1 = LOW |
| 6 | GND | Ground reference - return path for supply current and signal common reference |
| 7 | NC2 | Normally closed terminal of Switch 2 - connects to COM2 only when IN2 = LOW |
| 8 | IN2 | Digital control input for Switch 2 - independent of IN1; enables dual-channel routing |
| 9 | COM2 | Common output/data port of Switch 2 - bidirectional path shared by NO2 and NC2 |
| 10 | NO2 | Normally open terminal of Switch 2 - connects to COM2 only when IN2 = HIGH |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Break-before-make switching | 8 ns guaranteed minimum dead time prevents momentary shorting between NC and NO paths during state change |
| Low on-resistance flatness | 0.22 Ω max variation over full signal range at 4.2 V - ensures consistent gain and THD performance across audio band |
| High off-isolation | –83 dB @ 100 kHz - isolates unused audio sources to avoid bleed-through in multi-input headset jacks |
| Rail-to-rail analog operation | Supports 0 V to VDD signal swing - eliminates need for external biasing in single-supply portable designs |
| Ultra-small UQFN package | 1.4 mm × 1.8 mm footprint - saves PCB area in space-constrained mobile applications like smartphones and wearables |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual SPDT analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TSM1022YFNR | Higher on-resistance (0.8 Ω typ. at 3.3 V); smaller 1.2 mm × 1.6 mm WLCSP package; no break-before-make guarantee | Limited to low-current signal routing (≤50 mA); unsuitable for power path selection due to RON and timing uncertainty | Choose when board area is primary constraint and signal integrity requirements are relaxed |
| MAX4680EUA+ | Wider supply range (1.8–5.5 V); higher off-isolation (–92 dB @ 100 kHz); SO-8 package (larger, leaded) | Better suited for industrial test equipment requiring higher voltage margin and creepage; incompatible with ultra-compact mobile layouts | Choose when extended voltage headroom or legacy through-hole assembly is required |
Compared with TSM1022YFNR and MAX4680EUA+, the PI3A223ZMEX offers optimal balance of ultra-low RON, guaranteed break-before-make timing, and miniature UQFN packaging-making it uniquely suitable for space- and performance-critical portable audio routing.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating per channel?
The PI3A223ZMEX supports ±300 mA continuous current through any NO, NC, or COM terminal. This rating applies across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and ensures reliable conduction without thermal derating in typical portable audio and power routing applications.
Does the device require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on control inputs?
No. The IN1 and IN2 inputs have defined logic thresholds (VIH ≥ 1.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.5 V) and ≤1 μA leakage, allowing direct connection to GPIOs of modern microcontrollers and baseband processors without external biasing components.
Can PI3A223ZMEX be used for bidirectional analog signal switching?
Yes. The device supports fully bidirectional analog signal flow between NO/NC and COM terminals, with matched on-resistance and capacitance characteristics in both directions-verified by identical RON, CON, and leakage specs regardless of signal direction.
Is the 10-pin UQFN package compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles?
Yes. The ZM package is qualified for IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and supports standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak temperature 260°C, 60-second duration above 217°C), enabling compatibility with high-volume SMT assembly lines.
