Diodes Incorporated PI5V330AQE

Overview

PI5V330AQE from Pericom Semiconductor is a true bidirectional quad 2-channel analog multiplexer/demultiplexer optimized for RGB and composite video signal routing. It delivers 400 MHz –3 dB bandwidth, 3 Ω typical on-resistance, –58 dB crosstalk at 10 MHz, and operates from a single +5.0 V supply. Used in video source switching between RAMDACs and composite outputs in desktop monitors and AV receivers.

For engineers reviewing the PI5V330AQE datasheet, PI5V330AQE pinout, PI5V330AQE application, or PI5V330AQE equivalent, key selection criteria include analog bandwidth, on-resistance matching across channels, off-isolation at video frequencies, and quiescent current under enable control-critical for low-power video routing in multi-source display systems.

Technical Context

The PI5V330AQE implements four independent 2:1 analog switches controlled by one shared digital select (IN) and global enable (EN) inputs. Each switch pair routes either S1A–S1D or S2A–S2D to corresponding DA–DD outputs based on IN state, with EN disabling all paths simultaneously.

Its architecture supports bidirectional signal flow with matched R_ON (3–10 Ω), low charge injection (<1 pC), and minimal capacitance asymmetry (C_ON = 8 pF, C_OFF = 6 pF), ensuring minimal gain/phase error (DG = 0.64%, DP = 0.27° at 3.58 MHz) and fast switching (t_ON = 5 ns, t_OFF = 5 ns).

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

PI5V330AQE is housed in a Pb-free, RoHS-compliant 16-pin QSOP (Q) package measuring 3.99 mm × 4.99 mm × 1.45 mm, with 0.635 mm lead pitch and gull-wing leads.

The PI5V330A series belongs to Pericom's wideband analog switch product line, engineered specifically for broadcast-quality video signal routing in consumer and professional AV equipment.

FAQ

What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by PI5V330AQE?

The PI5V330AQE supports an analog signal range of 0 V to 2.0 V when operated at V_CC = 5.0 V. This is specified under DC Electrical Characteristics as VANALOG, and aligns with standard 75 Ω video signal levels (e.g., 1 V_PP composite, 0.7 V_PP RGB). Exceeding 2.0 V risks violating absolute maximum ratings for output pins.

Can PI5V330AQE operate with a 3.3 V supply?

No-PI5V330AQE is designed exclusively for +5.0 V ±5% operation. Its R_ON, bandwidth, and logic thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V) are characterized only at 5 V. Using 3.3 V results in undefined switching behavior, degraded bandwidth (<200 MHz), and potential failure to meet VIH/VIL margins for reliable IN/EN control.

Is PI5V330AQE pin-compatible with PI5V330AS or PI5V330AW?

Yes-PI5V330AQE shares identical pinout and electrical specifications with PI5V330AS (SOIC-16 wide) and PI5V330AW (SOIC-16 narrow), differing only in package type (QSOP vs. SOIC) and lead finish (Pb-free & Green). Mechanical mounting and PCB layout require package-specific footprints, but schematic symbol and net connectivity are fully interchangeable.

Does PI5V330AQE require external termination resistors for 75 Ω video lines?

No-PI5V330AQE's 3 Ω on-resistance and low parasitic capacitance (C_ON = 8 pF) allow direct 75 Ω source/load matching without series or shunt termination. However, proper board layout (controlled-impedance traces, ground plane, minimized stubs) remains essential to preserve 400 MHz signal integrity and avoid reflections at high frequencies.
