Product details
Overview
PI3B3126WE from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.3V, 4-bit, 2-port bus switch with individual active-HIGH enables, featuring 5Ω ON-resistance, 0.25ns propagation delay, and 0.1µA quiescent current. It implements four independent analog/digital signal paths in notebook and portable computing systems where low power, rail-to-rail compatibility, and minimal signal distortion are critical.
For engineers reviewing the PI3B3126WE datasheet, PI3B3126WE pinout, PI3B3126WE application, or PI3B3126WE equivalent, key selection criteria include active-HIGH enable logic (vs. PI3B3125's active-LOW), TSSOP-14 package footprint, 3.3V-only operation, and sub-1ns bus enable/disable timing under 50pF load.
Technical Context
The PI3B3126WE uses advanced sub-micron CMOS to implement four independent bidirectional analog switches, each controlled by a dedicated BEn input. Its logic inputs tolerate up to +3.6V regardless of VCC, enabling mixed-voltage interfacing without level shifters.
Each switch exhibits near-zero propagation delay (0.25ns typical) and introduces no ground bounce noise. The device operates only within the 3.3V ±10% supply range and requires proper power sequencing-VCC/GND applied before control or data signals.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 3.3V ±10% - Fixed single-supply operation; not 5V-tolerant or dual-supply capable. |
| ON Resistance | 5Ω typical - Enables low-loss signal routing for digital buses and analog sensor lines up to 120mA. |
| Propagation Delay | 0.25ns typical (A↔B) - Adds negligible timing skew in high-speed parallel interfaces like memory or display buses. |
| Enable/Disable Time | 1.0–2.5ns (enable), 1.0–4.0ns (disable) - Supports dynamic bus isolation in real-time power-gating schemes. |
| Quiescent Current | 0.1µA typical - Allows permanent connection in always-on domains without measurable battery drain. |
| Input Voltage Range | –0.5V to +4.6V - Accepts rail-to-rail logic inputs, including 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V drivers driving into 3.3V VCC. |
| Off-State Leakage | 10µA max at VCC = 0V - Ensures signal integrity during hot-swap or partial-power-down conditions. |
Pinout & Package
PI3B3126WE is packaged in a 14-pin TSSOP (L) with 0.65mm pitch, 173mil body width, and exposed pad-less construction per Diodes' mechanical drawing 16-0060.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 14 | VCC, GND | Power and ground rails - Must be decoupled locally; no internal ESD diodes to VCC/GND on A/B pins. |
| 2, 4, 6, 10 | BE0–BE3 | Active-HIGH bus enable controls - Each independently gates one A↔B path; no internal pull-ups. |
| 3, 5, 7, 11 | A0–A3 | Input/output port A - Bidirectional; voltage range extends beyond VCC (–0.5V to +4.6V). |
| 8, 9, 12, 13 | B0–B3 | Input/output port B - Electrically identical to A-side; fully symmetric bidirectional switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Near-zero propagation delay | 0.25ns typical - Eliminates need for timing budget allocation in 100+ MHz parallel buses. |
| Individual active-HIGH enables | Four BEn inputs - Enables per-lane power gating in multi-bit interfaces without external inverters. |
| 5Ω analog-grade ON resistance | 5Ω typical at 0V input - Preserves signal integrity for both digital logic and low-level analog signals (e.g., I²C, SMBus). |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 0.1µA typical - Supports direct integration into battery-backed subsystems without auxiliary power switches. |
| Rail-to-rail input tolerance | –0.5V to +4.6V on all logic pins - Simplifies interface to legacy 5V logic or newer low-VOH drivers without external clamping. |
Applications
| High-Speed Notebook Memory Bus Isolation | USB 2.0 Data Line Switching |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 4-bit bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PI3B3125LEX | Identical pinout and RON, but active-LOW enables (BEn active low) | Requires inverted enable signals; unsuitable where MCU GPIOs lack inversion capability or drive strength for pull-downs | Select when existing firmware or PCB layout already assumes active-LOW control logic |
| SN74CBT3126DBQR | Same 3.3V operation and 4-bit topology, but 7Ω RON, 3.5ns max enable time, and SOIC-16 package | Larger footprint and higher capacitance limit use in space-constrained portable designs | Choose when sourcing consistency with TI-based BOMs or need for extended temperature screening (–40°C to +125°C) |
Compared with PI3B3125LEX, PI3B3126WE eliminates external inverters in active-HIGH control systems; versus SN74CBT3126DBQR, it delivers 3× faster enable response and 13% lower ON resistance in a smaller TSSOP-14 package-critical for ultra-thin notebook layouts.

FAQ
Is PI3B3126WE compatible with 5V logic inputs?
No. While its logic inputs tolerate voltages up to +4.6V, the device requires a 3.3V ±10% supply and is not rated for sustained 5V operation. Driving inputs above VCC + 0.3V may cause increased leakage or reliability risk over time. It is designed for 3.3V systems interfacing with 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V logic families-not 5V TTL or CMOS.
Can PI3B3126WE be used for analog signal switching?
Yes. With 5Ω RON, <1pF off-capacitance, and no charge injection, it supports analog signals up to 120mA and DC–100MHz bandwidth. It has been validated in sensor multiplexing and audio line routing where THD < –80dB and crosstalk >65dB are required at 1kHz.
What is the maximum capacitive load supported per switch?
The datasheet specifies timing parameters (enable/disable, propagation) under CL = 50pF. Operation remains functional up to 100pF, but tPZH/tPHZ degrade linearly beyond 50pF-e.g., tPZH increases from 2.5ns to ~4.2ns at 100pF. Layout parasitics must be included in total CL calculation.
Does PI3B3126WE require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on BE pins?
Yes. The BE pins have no internal termination. A pull-down resistor (typically 10kΩ) is recommended to ensure defined LOW state at power-up, preventing unintended switch conduction. Pull-up is acceptable only if system logic guarantees BE is driven HIGH before VCC stabilizes.
