Product details
Overview
PI5A3157BC6EX from Diodes Incorporated is a low-voltage, high-bandwidth SPDT analog switch and 2:1 multiplexer/demultiplexer with break-before-make switching, 350 MHz bandwidth, 6 Ω max ON resistance at 4.5 V, and rail-to-rail signal handling - used in portable audio routing and battery-powered communication interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the PI5A3157BC6EX datasheet, PI5A3157BC6EX pinout, PI5A3157BC6EX application, or PI5A3157BC6EX equivalent, this device supports fast analog signal switching (2 ns transition at 5 V), wide supply range (1.65–5.5 V), overvoltage-tolerant control input (5.5 V), and high off-isolation (–63 dB @ 10 MHz) for precision signal path selection.
Technical Context
The PI5A3157BC6EX implements a CMOS-based SPDT switch architecture with independent logic-level control (S pin) decoupled from VCC, enabling interoperability across mixed-supply systems. Its break-before-make timing (1.6 ns min at 5.5 V) prevents momentary shorting between B0 and B1 during state transitions.
It delivers flat ON resistance (<6 Ω variation over 0–VCC input range at 5 V), low charge injection (10 pC), and minimal crosstalk (–64 dB), making it suitable for bidirectional analog and digital bus switching in space-constrained portable designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - supports direct interface with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| RON Max | 6 Ω at 4.5 V - ensures <10 mV voltage drop at 30 mA load, preserving signal integrity in low-voltage analog paths. |
| f3dB | 350 MHz - enables clean switching of video, USB 1.1, and I²S signals without high-frequency attenuation. |
| tPLH/tPHL | 0.6 ns typical at 5 V - minimizes propagation delay skew in time-critical multiplexed data paths. |
| OIRR | –63 dB @ 10 MHz - suppresses leakage from inactive channel, critical for multi-source sensor or audio routing. |
| Charge Injection | 10 pC at 5 V - limits glitch amplitude on high-impedance nodes (e.g., ADC inputs or filter capacitors). |
| Operating Temp | –40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial and portable consumer environments without derating. |
Pinout & Package
PI5A3157BC6EX is packaged in a 6-pin SC70 (SOT-363) footprint, designated C6 per Diodes' ordering nomenclature, with 0.65 mm pitch and exposed pad not present - compatible with standard reflow profiles and automated placement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SC70) | B1 | Secondary analog input/output port; connects to A when S = 1; bidirectional, rail-to-rail capable. |
| 2 (SC70) | GND | Signal and power ground reference; must be low-impedance for optimal THD and isolation performance. |
| 3 (SC70) | B0 | Primary analog input/output port; connects to A when S = 0; shares same RON and bandwidth as B1. |
| 4 (SC70) | A | Common output/input terminal; routed to B0 or B1 based on S logic state; handles full signal swing (0–VCC). |
| 5 (SC70) | VCC | Positive supply; powers internal CMOS switch core and level-shifter; bypass capacitor required near pin. |
| 6 (SC70) | S | Logic control input; accepts 0–5.5 V regardless of VCC; must not float - tie to GND or VCC via pull-up/down if unused. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Break-before-make switching | Guaranteed 1.6 ns minimum dead time at 5.5 V eliminates signal shorting during channel change - essential for fault-tolerant muxing. |
| Rail-to-rail analog capability | Supports input/output signals from 0 V to VCC without clipping - enables direct interfacing with op-amps, codecs, and SAR ADCs. |
| Overvoltage-tolerant control (S) | Accepts up to 5.5 V logic regardless of VCC (e.g., 3.3 V VCC with 5 V microcontroller GPIO) - removes need for external level translation. |
| Low THD (0.012%) | Preserves audio fidelity in portable players and headset switches - measured at 5 V, 0.5 Vpp, 20 Hz–20 kHz. |
| Green, lead-free packaging | XDB and C6 packages meet RoHS 3, halogen-free, and antimony-free requirements - compliant for global consumer electronics shipments. |
Applications
| Portable Audio Routing | USB 1.1 Data Switching |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Selecting between stereo DAC outputs or microphone inputs in smartphones and wireless earbuds. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional analog switch managing left/right channel or mono/stereo paths with sub-ns timing control. Use Value: 350 MHz bandwidth and 0.012% THD maintain CD-quality audio fidelity; 6 Ω RON avoids gain error in line-level circuits. |
Use Scenario: Sharing a single USB transceiver between two host controllers in docking stations or multi-mode peripherals.

Use Value: –64 dB crosstalk and 10 pC charge injection prevent data corruption and packet retries during hot-switch events. |
| Industrial Sensor Multiplexing | Low-Power MCU Peripheral Selection |
|
Use Scenario: Scanning multiple analog sensors (temperature, pressure, humidity) into a single ADC input on battery-powered IoT nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision analog multiplexer with matched RON (±0.15 Ω) and low leakage (±1 µA) for accurate ratiometric measurements. Use Value: 1.65 V operation extends battery life; –63 dB off-isolation prevents cross-talk between high-Z sensor outputs. |
Use Scenario: Dynamically assigning UART, SPI, or I²C peripherals to different MCU pins in space-constrained embedded modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Digital bus switch enabling flexible pin mapping without PCB redesign - controlled by GPIO with no level shifter needed. Use Value: 5.5 V-tolerant S pin allows direct connection to 5 V MCU GPIO even at 1.8 V VCC; 1 µA quiescent current preserves sleep-mode efficiency. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SPDT analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NC7SB3157M5X | Higher RON (12 Ω @ 3 V), lower bandwidth (200 MHz), no guaranteed break-before-make timing. | Limited to lower-speed analog routing; unsuitable for USB or high-fidelity audio where timing and distortion matter. | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-critical signal paths where PI5A3157BC6EX's performance headroom is unnecessary. |
| TS5A3157DCUR | Similar RON (6.5 Ω @ 4.5 V) but higher charge injection (15 pC) and narrower VCC range (1.65–5.5 V same, but not characterized below 2.3 V). | May induce larger glitches on high-impedance nodes; less robust at 1.65 V operation in ultra-low-power designs. | Prefer when TI ecosystem alignment or alternate package (VSSOP-6) is required - verify charge injection impact in final layout. |
Compared with NC7SB3157M5X and TS5A3157DCUR, the PI5A3157BC6EX delivers superior timing control (guaranteed break-before-make), lower THD, and tighter RON matching - making it the preferred choice for precision analog multiplexing and high-reliability portable interfaces.

FAQ
Can PI5A3157BC6EX operate with VCC = 1.8 V while accepting 3.3 V logic on the S pin?
Yes. The S pin is overvoltage tolerant up to 5.5 V independent of VCC. At VCC = 1.8 V, VIH is 0.8 V and VIL is 0.4 V, so a 3.3 V logic HIGH is safely recognized without damage or level shifting - confirmed in the Recommended Operating Conditions table.
What is the maximum continuous current through the A, B0, or B1 pins?
The absolute maximum DC output current is ±128 mA per pin, but the ON resistance specification is characterized up to ±30 mA at 4.5 V. For reliable operation within datasheet limits, keep steady-state current ≤30 mA to maintain RON ≤6 Ω and avoid thermal derating above 85°C ambient.
Does PI5A3157BC6EX require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on the S pin?
Yes - the S pin must never be left floating. Diodes specifies that the control input "must be held HIGH or LOW." A 10 kΩ pull-down to GND or pull-up to VCC is recommended during power-up or MCU reset to ensure deterministic channel selection and prevent undefined switching states.
Is the SC70 (C6) package still recommended for new designs?
No. Diodes explicitly marks the C6 package as "Not Recommended for New Design" in the Ordering Information table. The X1DFN (XDB) package is preferred for new designs due to smaller size (1 mm × 1 mm), better thermal performance, and improved high-frequency behavior - though C6 remains fully supported for legacy production.
