Product details

Overview

PI3B16248B from Pericom Semiconductor is a 3.3V, 24-bit to 48-bit bidirectional analog Mux/DeMux bus switch with near-zero propagation delay (250 ps), 5 Ω typical on-resistance at 3.3V, and make-before-break switching action-used in high-speed memory DIMM data path routing between CPU and dual-channel 128M modules.

For engineers reviewing the PI3B16248B datasheet, PI3B16248B pinout, PI3B16248B application, or PI3B16248B equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.5 ns max enable time, 500 Ω pulldown on unconnected B ports, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and compatibility with 3.0V–3.6V VCC operation in DDR SDRAM subsystems.

Technical Context

The PI3B16248B implements a dual-rail CMOS analog switch architecture with two independent 24-bit channels, each selectable between two 48-bit output banks (1B and 2B) via S1/S2 control logic. It operates without internal level-shifting circuitry and supports rail-to-rail logic inputs up to +5.5V regardless of VCC.

Its low RON (5 Ω typ.) and minimal parasitic capacitance (CIN = 3.5 pF, CON = 32 pF) ensure signal integrity for 100 MHz DDR data buses. The device uses no internal latching or buffering-switching is purely resistive and transparent, with timing governed solely by external RC loading.

Key Specifications

ParameterValue and Actual Design Meaning
VCC Range3.0 V to 3.6 V - defines strict 3.3V I/O domain compliance; incompatible with 5V-only or 2.5V systems
RON (typ)5 Ω at VCC = 3.0 V, ION = 24 mA - enables <100 mV voltage drop at 20 mA per line, critical for low-noise DIMM data paths
tPLH250 ps (CL = 50 pF, RL = 500 Ω) - contributes negligible delay vs. driver/fanout-induced skew in 100 MHz DDR timing budgets
tEN (max)4.5 ns - ensures fast channel reconfiguration during memory bank switching without violating setup/hold windows
Make-before-break0–2 ns guaranteed - prevents momentary open-circuit glitches during port transition in hot-swap-capable DIMM slots
Input Pulldown500 Ω on unconnected B ports - maintains defined logic state during initialization or fault conditions, avoiding floating inputs
Operating Temp–40°C to +85°C - validated for industrial-grade server memory modules with sustained thermal cycling

Pinout & Package

Package: 80-pin BQSOP (Body: 20.4 mm × 6.2 mm × 2.0 mm, lead pitch: 0.5 mm, Pb-free & Green compliant).

Pin/TerminalCircuit RoleDesign Meaning
A1–A24Input/Output Data Bus (Channel A)24 bidirectional analog I/O lines connected directly to CPU-side memory controller traces
1B1–1B24, 2B1–2B24Output Data Bus Banks (Bank 1 & Bank 2)Two independent 24-bit output banks routed to separate 128M DIMM modules; each pair shares one A line
S1, S2Logic Select InputsBinary-encoded control pins determining whether A lines route to 1B (S2=0,S1=0), 2B (S2=1,S1=1), or high-Z (S2≠S1)
GND, VCCPower Supply TerminalsSingle 3.3V supply with dedicated ground plane pins distributed across package corners for low-impedance return paths

Applications

DDR SDRAM Memory SwitchingDual-Channel DIMM Multiplexing

Use Scenario: Routing 72-bit data/ECC paths between CPU memory controller and two physically separate 128M DIMM modules sharing same address/command bus.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional analog mux acting as transparent, low-latency data path selector with sub-nanosecond timing contribution.

Use Value: Enables cost-effective dual-DIMM support without doubling memory controller pins; preserves signal integrity at 100 MHz due to 5 Ω RON and 32 pF CON.

Use Scenario: Hot-plug-capable server memory expansion where one DIMM slot must be dynamically isolated while another remains active.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fault-tolerant bus switch providing glitch-free port reconfiguration via make-before-break action during live insertion/removal.

Use Value: Eliminates need for complex sequencing logic or external hold-off circuits-switching completes within 2 ns without data loss or metastability.

High-Speed Logic Bus IsolationIndustrial Embedded Memory Expansion

Use Scenario: Isolating test equipment I/O from production memory subsystems during functional validation of DDR timing margins.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance analog gate enabling clean break-before-make isolation with <32 pF output loading.

Use Value: Prevents back-driving and crosstalk during test mode; 500 Ω pulldown ensures safe default state when disconnected.

Use Scenario: Upgrading legacy industrial controllers with additional memory capacity using standardized DIMM form factor.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage-domain translator and bus extender supporting 3.3V controller interfacing to off-the-shelf 128M modules.

Use Value: Operates reliably over –40°C to +85°C ambient without derating; Pb-free BQSOP package meets IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level 3.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switching applications.

Alternative PartTechnical DifferenceApplication DifferenceSelection Advice
PI3B3244B12-bit, single 4:1 mux; lower channel count, identical RON/tPLH specsSuitable only for narrow-bus or test-point isolation-not scalable to 24-bit DIMM routingSelect when footprint and channel density are constrained but full 24-bit bandwidth is unnecessary
SN74CBT3244PWRTI part: 8-bit, 2.5V–3.6V VCC, 6 Ω RON, no built-in pulldownLacks 500 Ω B-port termination; requires external biasing for floating-state safetyChoose only if existing design already includes pull-down networks and channel count permits stacking

Compared with PI3B16248B, PI3B3244B offers reduced integration for space-constrained test fixtures, while SN74CBT3244PWR demands added board-level design effort to replicate the integrated pulldown and 24-bit scalability-neither matches the native DIMM-switching optimization of the PI3B16248B.

FAQ

What is the maximum data rate supported by PI3B16248B?

The PI3B16248B does not specify a maximum data rate in Mbps/Gbps, but its 250 ps propagation delay and 5 Ω RON support clean signal transmission up to 100 MHz clock domains-validated in 128M DIMM applications with 72-bit DDR data buses. System-level bandwidth depends on PCB layout, driver strength, and load capacitance.

Can PI3B16248B operate with 2.5V or 5V supply?

No. PI3B16248B is strictly rated for 3.0V to 3.6V VCC operation. While its logic inputs tolerate up to +5.5V, the internal switch core requires 3.3V nominal supply to achieve specified RON (5 Ω) and timing (250 ps tPLH). Operation outside this range risks parametric failure or undefined switching behavior.

Does PI3B16248B require external pull-up or pull-down resistors?

Only on control pins (S1/S2) if driven by open-drain sources; otherwise, none required. The device integrates 500 Ω pulldown resistors on all B-port terminals (1B1–1B24, 2B1–2B24), eliminating external biasing for floating-state safety-a key differentiator versus generic bus switches.

Is PI3B16248B pin-compatible with earlier Pericom bus switches?

No. PI3B16248B uses an 80-pin BQSOP package with unique 24-input/48-output pin mapping and dual-select logic (S1/S2). It is not pin-compatible with PI3B3244B (20-pin TSSOP) or PI3B3126 (14-pin SOIC); migration requires PCB redesign and signal routing verification.
