Product details
Overview
PI3B3861LE from Pericom Semiconductor is a 3.3V, 10-bit, 2-port bus switch with 5Ω on-resistance, active-low Bus Enable (BE) control, 4.5ns max switching time, and ultra-low 0.1μA quiescent current-designed for high-speed signal routing in notebook memory buses.
For engineers reviewing the PI3B3861LE datasheet, PI3B3861LE pinout, PI3B3861LE application, or PI3B3861LE equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 5Ω RON, rail-to-rail logic input tolerance up to +3.6V, near-zero propagation delay contribution, and QSOP-24 packaging compatibility with space-constrained portable systems.
Technical Context
The PI3B3861LE implements ten independent bilateral analog switches controlled by a single active-low BE signal, enabling simultaneous connection or isolation of A0–A9 and B0–B9 ports. Its CMOS design ensures no added ground bounce or propagation delay beyond RC time constant (~0.25ns for 50pF load).
It operates across –40°C to +85°C ambient with VCC = 3.3V ±10%, supports TTL-level logic inputs regardless of supply voltage (up to +3.6V), and features clamp diodes (VIK = –1.2V) for ESD protection on all I/O pins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC | 3.3V ±10% - defines compatible power rail and noise margin for low-voltage system integration |
| RON | 5Ω typical - enables direct connection of high-speed digital signals without signal degradation |
| tSW | 4.5ns max - ensures sub-nanosecond switching for DDR/SDRAM address/data bus isolation |
| IQ | 0.1μA typical - reduces standby power in battery-powered notebooks and portable devices |
| CIN | 3.0pF - minimizes capacitive loading on driving logic, preserving signal integrity |
| VIH/VIL | 2.0V / 0.8V - guarantees reliable logic recognition even with marginal driver output swing |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - validated for industrial-grade embedded and mobile computing environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-pin QSOP (150-mil wide), Pb-free & RoHS-compliant, body dimensions 3.99mm × 8.74mm × 1.75mm (L × W × H), 0.635mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BE | Active-low bus enable control | Drives all 10 switches ON when LOW; isolates A/B ports when HIGH |
| A0–A9 | Port A data terminals | Bidirectional I/O pins connected to source-side bus (e.g., CPU/memory controller) |
| B0–B9 | Port B data terminals | Bidirectional I/O pins connected to destination-side bus (e.g., SDRAM module) |
| VCC | Positive supply | 3.3V power input with decoupling required within 1cm of pin 12 |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal logic and switch conduction paths |
| NC | No-connect | Pin 1 is unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Near-zero propagation delay contribution | RC time constant <0.25ns (5Ω × 50pF) - avoids timing skew in synchronous memory interfaces |
| Rail-to-rail logic input tolerance | Inputs accept 0V to +3.6V regardless of VCC - simplifies level-shifting between mixed-voltage subsystems |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 0.1μA typical - extends battery life in always-on notebook standby modes |
| Clamp diode protection | VIK = –1.2V - suppresses negative transients during hot-plug or ESD events |
| QSOP-24 footprint | Standard 150-mil width - enables drop-in replacement in legacy designs using PI3B3245/PI3B3257 footprints |
Applications
| DDR Memory Bus Isolation | Notebook Display Interface Switching |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 10-bit bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PI3B3245LEX | 8-bit, same RON (5Ω), identical QSOP-20 package | Limited to 8-bit buses; lacks two address/data lines | Select when system requires only 8-bit isolation and board space is constrained |
| SN74CBT3245APW | 8-bit, 5V-tolerant inputs, higher RON (7Ω), TSSOP-20 | Supports mixed 3.3V/5V I/O but adds 2Ω conduction loss and 0.5ns delay penalty | Choose for legacy 5V-compatible designs where voltage translation is needed |
Compared with PI3B3861LE, PI3B3245LEX offers footprint compatibility at reduced bit-width, while SN74CBT3245APW trades off on-resistance and speed for broader voltage interoperability-making PI3B3861LE optimal for compact, high-fidelity 10-bit 3.3V memory routing.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage on BE, A0–A9, or B0–B9 pins?
The PI3B3861LE accepts logic inputs from 0V to +3.6V regardless of VCC level, enabling direct interfacing with 3.3V or 5V drivers without external level shifters. This rail-to-rail input tolerance is specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and verified across temperature.
Does the device introduce measurable propagation delay in signal paths?
No-the PI3B3861LE contributes negligible propagation delay beyond the RC time constant of its 5Ω on-resistance and load capacitance (e.g., ~0.25ns for 50pF). System-level delay is dominated by driving and receiving circuits, not the switch itself, as confirmed in the Switching Characteristics section.
Can PI3B3861LE be used in hot-swap applications?
Yes-its built-in clamp diodes (VIK = –1.2V) and specified absolute maximum ratings for input voltage (–0.5V to +4.6V) support controlled hot-plug operation. However, proper power sequencing (VCC/GND applied before signals) is mandatory to avoid latch-up, per Applications Information.
Is there a lead-free and RoHS-compliant version available?
Yes-the PI3B3861LE is manufactured in Pb-free & Green (RoHS-compliant) QSOP-24 packaging, as confirmed in the Ordering Information table (code PI3B3861QE). Pericom's packaging documentation (PD-1203, Rev H) certifies full compliance with JEDEC MO-137B/AE standards.
