Product details
Overview
PI3B3253LE-2017 from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.3V dual 4:1 multiplexer/demultiplexer with Hi-Z outputs, pin-compatible with 74F253 and 74ALS/AS/LS253 logic families. It features 5Ω on-resistance, 5.2ns max switching time, 0.2µA typical quiescent current, and operates across –40°C to +85°C for notebook and portable computing signal routing.
For engineers reviewing the PI3B3253LE-2017 datasheet, PI3B3253LE-2017 pinout, PI3B3253LE-2017 application, or PI3B3253LE-2017 equivalent, key selection criteria include low propagation delay (0.25ns typ.), rail-to-rail logic input tolerance up to +3.6V, dual independent channel control via S0/S1 and EA/EB, and TSSOP-16 packaging for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The PI3B3253LE-2017 implements two independent 4:1 analog/digital bus switches using CMOS transmission-gate architecture. Each channel selects one of four inputs (IA0–IA3 or IB0–IB3) to its output (YA or YB) under dual 2-bit select (S0/S1) and enable (EA/EB) control, with no internal latching or buffering.
All logic inputs tolerate voltages up to +3.6V regardless of VCC = 3.3V ±10%, enabling mixed-voltage interfacing. The device exhibits near-zero propagation delay due to passive switch topology - delay arises solely from RON–CLOAD time constant (0.25ns for 50pF), not active circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply | 3.3V ±10% - defines operating voltage window compatible with modern low-voltage I/O standards |
| RON | 5Ω typ. at VCC min, 0V input - ensures minimal signal attenuation and impedance matching for 50Ω systems |
| tIY | 0.25ns typ. propagation delay - enables high-speed data path switching without timing budget impact |
| ICC | 0.1µA min, 3.0µA max quiescent current - supports ultra-low-power operation in battery-powered notebooks |
| CIN | 3.0pF input capacitance - minimizes loading on driving logic and preserves signal edge integrity |
| Logic Input Range | –0.5V to +3.6V - allows direct interface with 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V controllers without level shifters |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C ambient - qualified for industrial and extended commercial environments |
Pinout & Package
PI3B3253LE-2017 is packaged in a 16-pin TSSOP (L) with 173mil body width, 0.65mm pitch, and exposed pad for thermal performance. Pin 1 is marked by notch or dot; pin numbering follows standard counterclockwise convention.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 15 | EA, EB | Active-low enable inputs per channel - disable both paths to Hi-Z when asserted high |
| 3–6, 10–13 | IA0–IA3, IB0–IB3 | Four analog/digital inputs per channel - support bidirectional signal routing with no polarity restriction |
| 2, 14 | S0, S1 | 2-bit binary select lines - determine which IA/IB input connects to YA/YB (00→IA0/IB0, 11→IA3/IB3) |
| 7, 9 | YA, YB | Channel outputs - present selected input with <5Ω on-resistance and Hi-Z state when disabled |
| 8 | GND | Ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane for noise immunity and RON stability |
| 16 | VCC | 3.3V power supply - requires local 0.1µF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin for transient suppression |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Near-zero propagation delay | 0.25ns typical - eliminates timing skew in high-speed data multiplexing between processors and peripherals |
| 5Ω on-resistance | Ensures <1% signal loss at 50Ω load - critical for preserving eye diagram integrity in USB 2.0 and PCIe Gen1 paths |
| Ultra-low quiescent power | 0.2µA typical ICC - extends battery life in always-on notebook subsystems such as keyboard controllers or sensor hubs |
| Rail-to-rail logic inputs | Accept –0.5V to +3.6V regardless of VCC - simplifies interconnection with mixed-voltage SoCs and FPGAs |
| Hi-Z output state | True three-state behavior when EA/EB high - prevents bus contention during hot-swap or dynamic reconfiguration |
Applications
| USB 2.0 Data Switching | Notebook Display Multiplexing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Routing USB D+/D– signals between two host controllers and a single downstream port in dual-mode laptops. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel analog switch providing bidirectional, low-capacitance path selection without signal inversion or delay accumulation. Use Value: Enables seamless USB host role switching with <0.25ns added delay and <3pF input capacitance to maintain signal integrity up to 480Mbps. |
Use Scenario: Selecting between integrated GPU and discrete GPU video outputs to a single LVDS or eDP display interface. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-bandwidth analog mux handling parallel pixel data lanes with matched trace lengths preserved. Use Value: 5Ω RON minimizes differential skew across RGB channels; Hi-Z state isolates inactive GPU during mode transitions. |
| PCIe Gen1 Lane Sharing | Embedded Controller I/O Expansion |
Use Scenario: Sharing a single PCIe x1 lane between baseband modem and Wi-Fi/BT combo chip in space-constrained mobile modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-latency, transparent signal path switch with no protocol awareness required. Use Value: Near-zero propagation delay avoids violating PCIe Gen1 setup/hold timing; 50pF total capacitance meets spec for ≤2.5GT/s signaling. |
Use Scenario: Expanding GPIO count from an embedded controller to multiple peripheral sensors (accelerometer, ambient light, lid open/close). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Digital signal selector enabling one controller pin to service four discrete functions via software-configurable routing. Use Value: 0.2µA quiescent current reduces idle power in always-on sensor subsystems; rail-to-rail inputs accept 1.8V sensor logic directly. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual 4:1 analog/digital multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT3253PWR | Higher RON (7Ω typ.), wider VCC range (2.5–5.5V), no rail-to-rail input tolerance | Requires external level shifting for 1.8V logic control; better suited for 5V legacy systems | Select when 5V compatibility is mandatory and 2.5V–3.3V mixed-voltage control is not needed |
| PI3CH481LE | Single 8:1 mux (not dual 4:1), 4Ω RON, same 3.3V supply and TSSOP-16 package | Reduces channel count by half but increases input flexibility per channel; lacks independent enable per path | Select when board layout favors single-channel consolidation and independent EA/EB control is unnecessary |
Compared with SN74CBT3253PWR and PI3CH481LE, the PI3B3253LE-2017 uniquely delivers dual independent 4:1 routing with rail-to-rail control, sub-1Ω RON advantage over TI's part, and true Hi-Z disable-making it optimal for compact, multi-source signal arbitration in 3.3V notebook designs.

FAQ
Is PI3B3253LE-2017 compatible with 74-series logic pinouts?
Yes, PI3B3253LE-2017 is explicitly pinout-compatible with 74F253, 74ALS/AS/LS253, and PI74FCT253T devices. Pin assignments for S0/S1, EA/EB, IA0–IA3, IB0–IB3, YA/YB, VCC, and GND match industry-standard 16-pin dual 4:1 mux layouts, enabling drop-in replacement without PCB redesign.
What is the maximum signal frequency supported by PI3B3253LE-2017?
The device supports signals up to 500MHz in practical applications, limited by RON–CLOAD bandwidth. With 5Ω RON and 36pF CON, the -3dB bandwidth exceeds 1GHz; real-world limits arise from PCB trace impedance and load capacitance, not internal switching speed.
Does PI3B3253LE-2017 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on control pins?
No. Control inputs (S0, S1, EA, EB) have internal biasing and specified VIH/VIL thresholds (2.0V/0.8V at VCC = 3.3V). External resistors are unnecessary unless specific noise immunity requirements demand them - standard CMOS driving suffices.
Can PI3B3253LE-2017 operate with 2.5V supply voltage?
No. PI3B3253LE-2017 is specified only for 3.3V ±10% (2.97V–3.63V). Operation below 2.97V violates Absolute Maximum Ratings and may cause undefined logic states, increased RON, or failure to meet tIY and tPLZ specifications per DS40212 Rev 2-2.
