Product details
Overview
PI5V331QE from Pericom Semiconductor is a true bidirectional dual 4-channel analog multiplexer/demultiplexer designed for S-Video and composite video signal routing. It features 3Ω typical on-resistance, 150 MHz –3dB bandwidth, –58 dB crosstalk at 10 MHz, 10 ns fast switching, and 100 mA output current capability. It operates from a single +5.0 V supply and supports video source selection in broadcast monitors and set-top boxes.
For engineers reviewing the PI5V331QE datasheet, PI5V331QE pinout, PI5V331QE application, or PI5V331QE equivalent, key selection criteria include analog bandwidth, on-resistance matching across channels, crosstalk performance at baseband video frequencies, and compatibility with TTL/CMOS control logic driving RAMDAC outputs.
Technical Context
The PI5V331QE implements two independent 4:1 analog mux/demux paths (A and B), each controlled by a 2-bit binary decoder (IN1/IN0) and enabled via separate ENA/ENB pins. Its switch architecture uses low-threshold MOSFETs optimized for 0–2.0 V analog signal swing under 5 V supply.
Signal integrity is maintained through matched RON (3–7 Ω), low channel capacitance (CON = 20 pF), and high off-isolation (–38 dB at 10 MHz). The device does not require level-shifting for TTL-compatible control inputs and draws only 0.1 μA quiescent current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bandwidth (–3dB) | 150 MHz - supports full NTSC/PAL luminance and chrominance passband without attenuation |
| On-resistance (RON) | 3 Ω typical - minimizes voltage drop and gain error in 75 Ω video lines |
| Crosstalk | –58 dB at 10 MHz - prevents visible ghosting between active and inactive video channels |
| Switching time (tON/tOFF) | 5 ns / 5 ns - enables frame-synchronized source switching without line tearing |
| Analog signal range | 0 to 2.0 V - matches standard composite/S-video peak white levels |
| Supply voltage | +5.0 V ±5% - compatible with legacy video system power rails |
| Quiescent current | 0.1 μA typical - enables always-on video routing in low-power standby modes |
Pinout & Package
The PI5V331QE is housed in a Pb-free, green 16-pin QSOP (150-mil wide) package with 0.025" lead pitch and JEDEC MO-137B-compliant mechanical dimensions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ENA, ENB | Channel enable inputs | Active-high enables for A-path and B-path independently; allows partial channel shutdown |
| IN1, IN0 | 2-bit address inputs | Selects one of four analog I/O pairs per path (S1–S4 → DA/DB); TTL/CMOS compatible |
| S1A–S4A, S1B–S4B | Analog I/O terminals | Bidirectional ports for video sources; internally routed to DA/DB when selected and enabled |
| DA, DB | Analog outputs/inputs | Common video bus nodes shared across both paths; support bidirectional signal flow |
| VCC, GND | Power supply | Single 5 V rail powers all analog and digital circuitry; no separate analog/digital supplies required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True bidirectional operation | Supports signal flow from Sx to D or D to Sx without polarity inversion or DC blocking |
| Matched 3 Ω on-resistance | Ensures ≤0.1% gain mismatch across all eight switched paths, critical for color fidelity |
| –58 dB crosstalk @ 10 MHz | Prevents interference between adjacent video sources during simultaneous multi-input monitoring |
| 100 mA output current rating | Drives multiple 75 Ω video loads in parallel without external buffers |
| Ultra-low 0.1 μA quiescent current | Reduces system-level standby power in always-on video gateways and matrix switchers |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual 4-channel analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| QS4A210 | Functionally identical pinout and electrical specs; same manufacturer, older part number | No difference - direct second-source replacement with identical qualification data | Select QS4A210 only if legacy BOM compliance or long-term availability assurance is required |
| ADG732BRUZ | 32-channel single-supply CMOS mux; 4 Ω RON, 125 MHz BW, but requires 3.3 V supply and different control interface | Not suitable for direct 5 V video systems; lacks dual-path independent enable control | Consider only for new 3.3 V designs where channel count >8 justifies higher integration density |
Compared with QS4A210, PI5V331QE offers identical functionality with updated green packaging; versus ADG732BRUZ, it provides native 5 V operation, lower RON, and dedicated dual-path enable architecture essential for video routing.

FAQ
Is PI5V331QE compatible with 3.3 V logic control signals?
Yes. The PI5V331QE accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels: VIH is guaranteed ≥2.0 V, and VIL is ≤0.8 V, making it fully compatible with 3.3 V microcontrollers and FPGA I/Os driving ENA/ENB/IN1/IN0. No level-shifter is needed.
Can PI5V331QE handle 2 VPP composite video signals without distortion?
Yes. Its specified analog signal range is 0 to 2.0 V, and dynamic tests confirm <0.64% differential gain and <0.27° differential phase error at 3.58 MHz - well within NTSC/PAL broadcast tolerances for baseband video.
What is the maximum capacitive load the PI5V331QE can drive directly?
The device is characterized with 75 Ω termination and 20 pF load in switching time tests. While not rated for heavy capacitive loads, it reliably drives standard 75 Ω coaxial cables (typically ≤50 pF/m) up to 3 m without equalization, given its 150 MHz bandwidth and 100 mA output capability.
Does PI5V331QE support hot insertion or live signal switching?
Yes. Its bidirectional architecture, rail-to-rail analog range, and absence of body diode conduction paths allow safe hot switching of live video signals. However, ensure ENA/ENB are held low during power-up to prevent undefined channel states.
