Product details
Overview
PI3A412ZHEX from Diodes Incorporated is a quad SPDT analog/bus switch fabricated in CMOS technology, operating from +1.6V to +4.2V supply, delivering 0.4Ω on-resistance at 2.7V, –65dB off-isolation, and 20ns typical turn-on time. It routes audio/video signals, JTAG test paths, or low-voltage data buses in portable instrumentation and battery-powered communications systems.
For engineers reviewing the PI3A412ZHEX datasheet, PI3A412ZHEX pinout, PI3A412ZHEX application, or PI3A412ZHEX equivalent, key selection criteria include rail-to-rail signal switching capability, 1.8V logic-compatible control inputs tolerant up to 5V, 3kV HBM ESD rating, and TQFN-16 (3.0mm × 3.0mm) package thermal performance for space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The PI3A412ZHEX implements four independent SPDT switches with break-before-make timing (1–12ns), each controlled by dedicated A0/A1 logic inputs. Its CMOS architecture enables rail-to-rail analog signal handling across the full VCC range without level-shifting circuitry.
Each switch exhibits matched on-resistance (ΔRON ≤ 0.09Ω), flat on-resistance (RFLAT(ON) ≤ 0.15Ω), and low charge injection (100pC), ensuring minimal signal distortion in precision multiplexing and sampling applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance | 0.4Ω typ. at VCC = 2.7V - enables low insertion loss in signal path routing |
| Off Isolation | –65dB at 100kHz - suppresses crosstalk between inactive channels |
| Turn-On Time | 20ns typ. at VCC = 3.3V - supports high-speed bus switching up to 40MHz bandwidth |
| Supply Range | +1.6V to +4.2V - compatible with Li-ion, 3.3V, and 1.8V logic domains |
| Logic Input Tolerance | Up to 5V regardless of VCC - eliminates external level shifters for mixed-voltage control |
| ESD Rating | 3kV HBM - protects against handling-induced discharge in assembly and field use |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for extended industrial environments |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad SPDT analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TS5A4157DGSR | Single SPDT, not quad; 0.65Ω RON at 3.3V; smaller 8-pin VSSOP package | Requires four devices to match PI3A412ZHEX channel count; higher board area and BOM count | Prefer when space allows discrete channel scaling and lower cost per switch is prioritized over integration |
| ADG712BRUZ | Quad SPDT, but 3.5Ω RON at 3V; ±5V dual-supply capable; SOIC-16 package | Higher on-resistance limits use in low-loss audio or high-speed digital routing; larger footprint | Prefer only if bipolar supply support or legacy SOIC compatibility is mandatory |
Compared with TS5A4157DGSR and ADG712BRUZ, the PI3A412ZHEX delivers superior integration density, lowest on-resistance, and best high-frequency performance in a thermally efficient 3×3mm QFN-making it optimal for portable, battery-sensitive, and signal-fidelity-critical designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable signal voltage swing for PI3A412ZHEX?
The PI3A412ZHEX supports rail-to-rail analog signal switching from 0V to VCC, with VCC rated from +1.6V to +4.2V. Signals exceeding VCC or going below GND are clamped by internal diodes; forward current must be limited to 30mA per diode to avoid damage.
Can PI3A412ZHEX operate with 1.8V logic control while powered from a 3.3V supply?
Yes. The A0 and A1 control inputs tolerate logic high voltages up to 5V independent of VCC, making them fully compatible with 1.8V logic levels even when VCC = 3.3V. No external level shifters or pull-up resistors are required.
How does the break-before-make timing prevent signal glitches?
The PI3A412ZHEX guarantees 1–12ns of break-before-make delay between NC and NO path disconnection and reconnection. This ensures no momentary short between NC and NO terminals, eliminating bus contention and signal corruption during switching transitions in shared-data-path applications.
Is PI3A412ZHEX qualified for automotive applications?
No. While rated for –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range and featuring 3kV HBM ESD protection, the PI3A412ZHEX is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes Incorporated offers automotive-grade alternatives (e.g., PI3A412Q) with PPAP support and IATF 16949 manufacturing certification for vehicle applications.
