Product details
Overview
PI3USB3031XUAEX from Diodes Incorporated is a 2-channel, 1:3 USB 2.0 and MHL/MyDP analog multiplexer/demultiplexer IC supporting simultaneous high-speed signal routing across three differential paths (USB1, USB2, MHL) to a shared D+/D− pair. It delivers 6.5 GHz bandwidth, 4.5 Ω typical RON for USB paths and 5.5 Ω for MHL, with 1.8 V–5.5 V supply operation and 1.8 V-compatible SEL inputs. It enables single-connector mobile docking in smartphones and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the PI3USB3031XUAEX datasheet, PI3USB3031XUAEX pinout, PI3USB3031XUAEX application, or PI3USB3031XUAEX equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-protocol (USB 2.0 + MHL Rev. 3.0) switching capability, 12-pin X2-QFN 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm package, IOFF protection at VCC = 0 V, overvoltage tolerance up to 5.0 V on all I/O pins, and 28 µA typical supply current.
Technical Context
The PI3USB3031XUAEX implements a digitally controlled 2:1 analog switch matrix per channel, with independent MHL/MyDP and two USB 2.0 differential paths routed to common D+/D− terminals via SEL0/SEL1 logic. Its architecture supports concurrent high-frequency signal integrity: 6.5 GHz –3 dB bandwidth applies identically to both USB and MHL paths, and RON flatness remains ≤1 Ω across 0–3.3 V I/O swing.
It integrates power-off protection (IOFF), ensuring <±10 µA leakage when VCC = 0 V, and overvoltage tolerance (OVT) allowing I/O pins to withstand up to 5.0 V regardless of VCC state. Control inputs accept 1.8 V logic directly, eliminating level shifters in mobile SoC interfacing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - Enables direct interface with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V system rails without external regulators. |
| Bandwidth (–3 dB) | 6.5 GHz - Supports full USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and MHL Rev. 3.0 (up to 6 Gbps) signal fidelity with minimal insertion loss. |
| RON (USB) | 4.5 Ω typical - Low on-resistance minimizes voltage drop and signal distortion on D+/D− paths during active switching. |
| RON (MHL) | 5.5 Ω typical - Optimized for higher-voltage MHL differential signaling while maintaining impedance matching. |
| IOFF (VCC = 0 V) | ±10 µA max - Ensures complete signal isolation and zero-power-state compatibility in battery-backed or hot-swap systems. |
| OVT Rating | 5.0 V on all I/O - Eliminates need for external clamping diodes when interfacing with legacy or mixed-voltage peripherals. |
| ESD Protection | 2 kV HBM, 1 kV CDM - Meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 requirements for handheld and portable equipment robustness. |
Pinout & Package
PI3USB3031XUAEX uses a 12-pin X2-QFN package measuring 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm with 0.4 mm pitch and exposed thermal pad. Pin numbering follows standard QFN orientation with pin 1 marked by a line indicator.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SEL0) | Digital control input | Selects source path: low = USB1, high = USB2 or MHL depending on SEL1 state; 1.8 V logic compatible. |
| 2 (SEL1) | Digital control input | MSB of 2-bit select code; combined with SEL0 determines active path (USB1, USB2, or MHL) or high-Z mode. |
| 3 (USB1+), 4 (USB1−) | Differential I/O | First USB 2.0 data pair; routed to D+/D− when SEL[1:0] = 00; supports 480 Mbps signaling. |
| 5 (USB2+), 6 (USB2−) | Differential I/O | Second USB 2.0 data pair; routed to D+/D− when SEL[1:0] = 01; electrically identical to USB1 path. |
| 7 (MHL+), 8 (MHL−) | Differential I/O | MHL/MyDP display link pair; routed to D+/D− when SEL[1:0] = 10; compliant with MHL Rev. 3.0 spec. |
| 9 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary analog and digital ground return; must be connected to low-impedance PCB ground plane. |
| 10 (D−), 11 (D+) | Common differential I/O | Shared output pair; connects to host/device USB/MHL PHY; bidirectional signal path with no internal termination. |
| 12 (VCC) | Power supply | Single-supply input for analog and digital circuitry; decoupling capacitor (≥0.1 µF) required adjacent to pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1.8 V–5.5 V wide supply range | Supports direct integration into diverse mobile platforms (application processors, PMICs, USB-C controllers) without auxiliary LDOs. |
| IOFF protection at VCC = 0 V | Prevents back-driving and leakage between disconnected peripherals during battery removal or deep sleep modes. |
| Overvoltage tolerance (5.0 V) | Enables safe connection to unpowered or mismatched-voltage accessories (e.g., legacy USB cables, HDMI-MHL adapters) without external protection. |
| 1.8 V-compatible control inputs | Eliminates level-shifting circuitry when driven by mobile SoC GPIOs, reducing BOM count and board area. |
| 6.5 GHz bandwidth with matched RON | Ensures <0.1 Ω channel-to-channel resistance matching and <1 Ω flatness-critical for maintaining eye diagram integrity across USB/MHL protocols. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar USB 2.0 + MHL analog switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TS3USB3030RGTR | Single-channel 1:3 USB 2.0 switch only; no MHL support; 5.5 GHz bandwidth; 5.2 Ω RON; 10-pin UQFN. | Limited to USB-only routing; requires separate MHL switch or FPGA-based protocol handling. | Choose when MHL functionality is unnecessary and board space permits discrete switching solutions. |
| PI3DBL12412ZLEX | 12-channel 2:1 PCIe 4.0 switch; 16 GHz bandwidth; 8 Ω RON; no MHL/USB-specific optimization or OVT. | Designed for high-speed serial links (PCIe, SATA), not optimized for USB/MHL voltage levels or ESD robustness. | Use only if migrating to multi-protocol high-speed interconnects beyond USB/MHL scope; not drop-in compatible. |
Compared with TS3USB3030RGTR and PI3DBL12412ZLEX, the PI3USB3031XUAEX uniquely integrates dual-protocol (USB 2.0 + MHL Rev. 3.0) switching, 5.0 V OVT, and 1.8 V control compatibility in a 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm footprint-making it the only solution that eliminates external protection and level-shifting components in mobile docking architectures.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for PI3USB3031XUAEX?
The PI3USB3031XUAEX is rated for continuous operation from −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature, with storage temperature extending to −65°C to +150°C. Its thermal performance is validated in the 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm X2-QFN package with exposed pad, supporting reliable operation in thermally constrained mobile enclosures.
Does PI3USB3031XUAEX require external termination resistors?
No. The PI3USB3031XUAEX does not require external series or parallel termination resistors. Its 5.5 Ω (MHL) and 4.5 Ω (USB) on-resistance, combined with 1.3 pF (MHL) and 1.0 pF (USB) on-capacitance, are designed to maintain 90 Ω differential impedance when used with standard 50 Ω PCB traces and proper layout-eliminating need for external matching components.
Can PI3USB3031XUAEX operate with VCC = 1.8 V while switching 5 V-tolerant signals?
Yes. The device supports 1.8 V to 5.5 V VCC, and all I/O pins feature overvoltage tolerance up to 5.0 V independent of VCC level. When VCC = 1.8 V, the MHL/USB signals can still safely reach 3.3 V or 5.0 V without damage or latch-up-enabling interoperability with mixed-voltage systems.
How does the PI3USB3031XUAEX handle simultaneous USB and MHL traffic?
It does not handle simultaneous traffic: the PI3USB3031XUAEX is a 1:3 multiplexer, meaning only one of the three input paths (USB1, USB2, or MHL) is connected to the common D+/D− output at any time. Channel selection is mutually exclusive and controlled by SEL0/SEL1 logic states per the truth table in DS45428 Rev 3-2.
