Product details
Overview
PI3USB31ZUAEX from Diodes Incorporated is a high-speed, bidirectional USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) 1-port analog switch with full power-down capability, designed for signal routing in mobile and consumer devices. It features 6 Ω typical on-resistance, 2110 MHz –3-dB bandwidth, 5 pF typical on-capacitance, and supports 2.8 V to 4.3 V supply operation. Used in smartphones and notebooks to multiplex USB data lines between controllers and connectors.
For engineers reviewing the PI3USB31ZUAEX datasheet, PI3USB31ZUAEX pinout, PI3USB31ZUAEX application, or PI3USB31ZUAEX equivalent, key selection criteria include low insertion loss at 480 Mbps, sub-1 ns switching timing, IOFF-enabled power-down isolation, and UQFN1515-8 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The PI3USB31ZUAEX implements a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) analog switch architecture optimized for differential USB 2.0 signaling. Its low RON (6 Ω typ.) and flat RON variation (<2 Ω) ensure minimal signal attenuation and amplitude distortion across the 0–2110 MHz bandwidth.
Control logic uses a single OE (output enable) pin with 1.8 V–compatible thresholds and IOFF functionality that disables leakage paths when VDD = 0 V. The device maintains <0.35 Ω RON delta between D+/D− paths, enabling <50 ps output skew and >30 dB OFF-isolation at 240 MHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bandwidth (–3 dB) | 2110 MHz - preserves USB 2.0 eye diagram integrity up to 480 Mbps with minimal rise-time degradation |
| On-resistance (RON) | 6 Ω typical - limits voltage drop and power loss under ±64 mA signal current |
| RON flatness (ΔRON) | <0.35 Ω typical - ensures matched D+/D− path impedance for low differential skew |
| On-capacitance (CIO(ON)) | 5 pF typical - minimizes loading on high-speed USB traces and preserves signal edge fidelity |
| OFF-isolation (OIRR) | –30 dB at 240 MHz - suppresses crosstalk between active and inactive USB ports during switching |
| Supply voltage range | 2.8 V to 4.3 V - compatible with modern smartphone PMIC rails and battery-backed USB I/O domains |
| ESD rating | ±4 kV contact (IEC61000-4-2) - protects USB interface against common handling and docking events |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin UQFN1515-8 (ZUA), 1.5 mm × 1.5 mm, 0.5 mm pitch, exposed thermal pad (GND-connected).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 6, 7 | GND, VDD, NC, HSD+, HSD− | GND (pins 1, 7) provides return path and thermal dissipation; VDD (pin 2) powers internal logic and switch; NC (pin 3) is unconnected; HSD+ and HSD− (pins 6, 7) are high-speed upstream data outputs |
| 4, 5, 8 | D+, D−, OE | D+ and D− (pins 4, 5) are bidirectional downstream data I/Os; OE (pin 8) enables/disables switch conduction - low = disconnect, high = pass |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| IOFF power-down mode | Enables full signal isolation with VDD = 0 V and ≤2 μA OFF-state leakage - critical for battery-powered USB port sharing |
| Low RON flatness | <0.35 Ω ΔRON between D+/D− ensures <50 ps output skew - preserves USB 2.0 differential timing compliance |
| High OFF-isolation | –30 dB at 240 MHz suppresses coupling from adjacent USB lanes or RF sources - improves noise margin in compact handheld PCBs |
| 1.8 V–compatible control | OE accepts 1.3 V (min) logic-high at 2.8 V VDD - interoperable with low-voltage application processors without level-shifting |
| Green RoHS/REACH compliance | Lead-free, halogen-free, antimony-free (Br+Cl <1500 ppm, Sb <1000 ppm) - meets global environmental regulations for consumer electronics |
Applications
| Smartphone USB Multiplexing | Notebook Docking Interface |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar USB 2.0 analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TS3USB30E by Texas Instruments | Higher RON (8 Ω typ.), lower bandwidth (1900 MHz), no IOFF support | Lacks true zero-power isolation - unsuitable for battery-off state retention | Select when IOFF is not required and board space allows larger 10-pin UQFN package |
| MAX14534A by Maxim Integrated | Lower RON (4.5 Ω typ.), but higher CIO(ON) (7.5 pF), no 1.8 V–compatible OE | Requires 3.3 V logic control - adds level-shifter complexity in 1.8 V SoC designs | Select when ultra-low RON dominates over capacitance and control-voltage compatibility |
Compared with TS3USB30E and MAX14534A, the PI3USB31ZUAEX uniquely balances low RON, ultra-low CIO(ON), IOFF capability, and 1.8 V–compatible control - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-sensitive USB 2.0 routing in portable systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by PI3USB31ZUAEX?
The PI3USB31ZUAEX supports full-speed USB 2.0 operation at 480 Mbps, validated by its 2110 MHz –3-dB bandwidth and <200 ps total jitter specification under 480 Mbps PRBS215–1 test conditions. It passes USB 2.0 electrical compliance tests including eye diagram mask and rise/fall time requirements.
Does PI3USB31ZUAEX require external biasing or termination resistors?
No. The PI3USB31ZUAEX operates as a passive analog switch with no internal active circuitry requiring biasing. It does not integrate termination resistors; external 90 Ω differential termination must be placed at the receiver end per USB 2.0 specification, independent of the switch.
Can PI3USB31ZUAEX be used with USB 3.0 or USB-C interfaces?
No. The PI3USB31ZUAEX is specified only for USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) signaling. Its bandwidth and channel characteristics are not validated for SuperSpeed (5 Gbps) differential pairs or USB-C alternate modes. It may be used alongside USB 3.0 in hybrid designs but only for legacy USB 2.0 signal routing.
How does the IOFF feature behave when VDD is disconnected?
When VDD = 0 V, the IOFF circuit actively disables all internal FET channels, limiting D+/D− to HSD+/HSD− leakage to ≤2 μA regardless of signal voltage (–0.5 V to 4.3 V). This prevents back-powering of the USB controller and maintains signal isolation without external blocking diodes.
