Product details
Overview
QS3390QG from Renesas Electronics (formerly IDT) is a high-speed CMOS 16:8 bidirectional analog multiplexer with zero propagation delay, 5Ω ON resistance, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), used for video/audio signal routing, hot-swap interfaces, and 5V-to-3.3V voltage translation in embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the QS3390QG datasheet, QS3390QG pinout, QS3390QG application, or QS3390QG equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 5Ω switch RON, sub-0.25ns propagation delay contribution, undershoot clamp diodes on all I/Os, and QSOP-28 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The QS3390QG implements a dual-bus 16:8 multiplexer architecture using enhanced N-channel FETs without inherent body diodes to VCC, enabling true bidirectional signal flow between Bus A (A0–A7), Bus B (B0–B7), and Bus AB (AB0–AB7). Control logic uses independent AEN/BEN enables to select A→AB, B→AB, or both simultaneously.
It operates at 5V ±5% with TTL-compatible control inputs (VIL ≤ 0.8V, VIH ≥ 2V), supports 120mA DC output current per channel, and features integrated undershoot clamp diodes on all switch and control terminals-critical for hot-plug resilience and ESD robustness in live-insertion systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Function | 16:8 bidirectional analog multiplexer (A0–A7, B0–B7 → AB0–AB7) |
| ON Resistance | 5Ω typical at VCC = 5V, 30mA - ensures minimal signal attenuation and RC delay in high-speed routing |
| Propagation Delay | <0.25ns system-level contribution - adds negligible timing overhead beyond driver/load RC |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded and communications equipment |
| Supply Voltage | 5V ±5% - compatible with legacy 5V logic domains and mixed-voltage translation |
| Input Clamp Diodes | Integrated undershoot clamps on all I/O and control pins - protects against –3V transient spikes during hot-swap events |
| Max Output Current | 120mA per channel - supports driving 50Ω transmission lines or capacitive loads up to 50pF |
Pinout & Package
QS3390QG is housed in a 28-pin Quarter Size Outline Package (QSOP), measuring 7.6mm × 10.2mm × 1.8mm, with standard 0.635mm lead pitch and RoHS-compliant green finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A7 | Input/Output (Bus A) | Bidirectional analog/data path from Bus A to AB; no internal diode to VCC |
| B0–B7 | Input/Output (Bus B) | Bidirectional analog/data path from Bus B to AB; supports independent or concurrent muxing |
| AB0–AB7 | Input/Output (Bus AB) | Common output bus shared by A and B sources; zero-delay pass-through when enabled |
| AEN | Digital Control Input | Active-low enable for A→AB path; asserts A-side connection when low |
| BEN | Digital Control Input | Active-low enable for B→AB path; asserts B-side connection when low |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V supply terminal; powers internal switch logic and clamp circuitry |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power ground reference for all I/O and control paths |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TS3USB30E | 3.3V-only supply, 8:4 configuration, integrated ESD protection (±8kV HBM), smaller 16-pin QFN | Limited to USB 2.0 signaling; not suitable for 5V systems or 16-bit wide buses | Prefer for space-constrained, 3.3V-only USB switch designs requiring higher ESD rating |
| SN74CBT16210 | 10-bit, 24-pin TSSOP, 5V-only, 6Ω RON, no undershoot clamps, higher ICCD (0.4mA/MHz) | Lower channel count, no transient protection - requires external clamping for hot-swap use | Acceptable for fixed-function 5V logic muxing where board-level protection is already implemented |
Compared with TS3USB30E and SN74CBT16210, the QS3390QG uniquely delivers 16:8 channel count, 5V operation, built-in undershoot clamps, and sub-0.25ns delay contribution - making it the only option qualified for industrial hot-swap video/audio routing without supplemental protection circuitry.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for QS3390QG?
The QS3390QG supports DC supply and signal voltages from –0.5V to +7V across all terminals except VCC, with VCC specified at 5V ±5%. This allows safe operation with 5V logic domains and tolerance for transient overshoot/undershoot up to ±3V on AC-coupled inputs - critical for robust hot-swap performance in the QS3390QG.
Does QS3390QG support bidirectional signal flow?
Yes, the QS3390QG supports true bidirectional analog signal flow between Bus A, Bus B, and Bus AB due to its enhanced N-channel FET structure with no inherent body diode to VCC. This enables seamless pass-through in either direction without polarity constraints - a core design feature confirmed in the functional block diagram and pin description of the QS3390QG.
What is the guaranteed ON resistance specification for QS3390QG?
The QS3390QG guarantees an ON resistance of 5Ω typical and 7Ω maximum under VCC = 5V min, VIN = 0V, and ION = 30mA conditions. This low RON is measured per channel and directly impacts signal attenuation and RC delay - a key parameter verified in the DC Electrical Characteristics table of the QS3390QG datasheet.
Can QS3390QG be used for voltage translation between 5V and 3.3V systems?
Yes, the QS3390QG is explicitly listed in its Applications section for voltage translation (5V to 3.3V). Its rail-to-rail analog switch architecture, 5Ω RON, and absence of body diodes allow clean bidirectional level shifting without direction control - a documented capability of the QS3390QG in industrial interface designs.
Is QS3390QG qualified for industrial temperature operation?
Yes, the QS3390QG is fully characterized and guaranteed over the industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C, as stated in the device description, Absolute Maximum Ratings, and DC Electrical Characteristics sections. All key parameters including RON, propagation delay, and leakage current are validated across this full range - confirming its suitability for harsh-environment QS3390QG deployments.
