Product details
Overview
QS34X2245Q3G8 from Renesas Electronics (formerly IDT) is a 32-bit high-speed CMOS bus switch with flow-through pinout, 23Ω typical ON-resistance at 5V, zero propagation delay, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It enables bidirectional signal routing between two 32-bit buses for hot-swap-capable server backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the QS34X2245Q3G8 datasheet, QS34X2245Q3G8 pinout, QS34X2245Q3G8 application, or QS34X2245Q3G8 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.25ns max propagation delay, 25Ω internal termination resistors, TTL-compatible control inputs, and 80-pin MilliPaQ™ package for dense PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The QS34X2245Q3G8 implements 32 independent N-channel FET switches without inherent body diodes to VCC, enabling true bidirectional signal flow with no DC path. Each switch is controlled by one of four OE inputs (OE1–OE4), allowing segmented 8-bit enable control across the 32-bit width.
It operates at 5.0V ±5%, supports voltage translation between 5V and 3.3V domains, and uses internal 25Ω resistors to damp reflection noise in high-speed parallel bus applications up to 200+ MHz. Undershoot clamp diodes protect all A/B and control pins against negative transients.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| ON Resistance (RON) | 23 Ω typical at VCC = 5V, VIN = 0V - ensures minimal voltage drop and signal integrity during active switching |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | ≤1.25 ns max - contributes negligible timing overhead in high-speed data paths |
| Switch Turn-on Delay (tPZL) | 6.6 ns max - defines minimum OE assertion-to-data-valid window for synchronous control |
| Input Voltage Levels | VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V - guarantees compatibility with TTL and 3.3V/5V logic families |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - validated for industrial and telecom infrastructure environments |
| Supply Voltage (VCC) | 5.0 V ±5% - fixed single-supply operation; no dual-rail or level-shifting circuitry required |
| Package | 80-pin MilliPaQ™ - compact surface-mount footprint optimized for 32-bit bus density and thermal dissipation |
Pinout & Package
QS34X2245Q3G8 is housed in an 80-pin MilliPaQ™ package - a fine-pitch, thermally enhanced, lead-free surface-mount solution with exposed thermal pad. Pin layout follows flow-through topology to minimize trace length and crosstalk in parallel bus routing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OEn (OE1–OE4) | Active-low switch enable | Four independent enables control eight-bit segments (A0–A7/B0–B7, etc.), enabling partial bus isolation |
| An (A0–A31) | Input/Output port A | Bidirectional I/O terminal; connects to upstream bus or controller side |
| Bn (B0–B31) | Input/Output port B | Bidirectional I/O terminal; connects to downstream bus or peripheral side |
| VCC | Power supply | Single 5V supply for all switch channels and control logic; no separate I/O rail needed |
| GND | Ground reference | Multiple ground pins distributed across package for low-inductance return paths and noise suppression |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zero propagation delay architecture | Eliminates added timing skew in critical data paths-propagation governed only by external RC load, not internal logic |
| Enhanced N-channel FETs without body diode | Prevents unintended current flow to VCC during hot-insertion, enabling safe live-backplane operation |
| Integrated 25Ω termination resistors | Reduces signal reflections on stubbed or unterminated buses without requiring external components |
| Undershoot clamp diodes on all I/Os | Protects against –3V transient excursions on A/B and control pins, meeting IEC 61000-4-2 ESD robustness requirements |
| Flow-through pinout | Allows straight-line PCB trace routing between A and B ports, minimizing layer count and impedance discontinuities |
Applications
| Hot-Swappable Server Backplane | Voltage-Translated Memory Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Inserting/removing PCIe or memory modules while system remains powered. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional bus switch isolating module-side signals from main backplane during insertion. Use Value: Prevents bus contention and ground bounce during hot-plug events using zero-delay switching and undershoot clamps. | Use Scenario: Interfacing 5V legacy controllers with 3.3V DDR SDRAM subsystems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-translating, direction-agnostic data path between mismatched voltage domains. Use Value: Enables seamless 5V↔3.3V translation without external biasing or direction control logic. |
| Low-Power Peripheral Isolation | High-Speed Clock Gating |
Use Scenario: Disabling unused USB or SATA PHYs in portable baseband processors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Power-gated signal bridge that cuts leakage current when peripherals are idle. Use Value: Reduces standby power by >95% per isolated 32-bit lane via high-impedance OFF-state (±1 μA IOZ). | Use Scenario: Dynamically enabling/disabling clock distribution to CPU cores or GPU clusters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-skew, glitch-free clock path selector with sub-7ns turn-on/turn-off. Use Value: Achieves precise clock gating with <1.25ns delay variation-critical for DVFS and power-state transitions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT3245APWR | 32-bit FET bus switch, 5V-only, 6Ω RON, TSSOP-56 package | Higher density but lower noise immunity; lacks undershoot clamps and internal 25Ω termination | Preferred for cost-sensitive, space-constrained consumer designs where ESD robustness is secondary |
| PI3CH400QE | 32-bit bus switch, 3.3V/5V tolerant, 10Ω RON, QFN-64 package | Supports mixed-voltage I/O but requires external termination; no OE segmentation (single enable) | Chosen when multi-voltage domain support and smaller footprint outweigh need for segmented enable control |
Compared with SN74CBT3245APWR and PI3CH400QE, the QS34X2245Q3G8 uniquely combines segmented OE control, integrated 25Ω termination, and industrial-grade undershoot protection-making it optimal for mission-critical hot-swap and telecom infrastructure designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by QS34X2245Q3G8?
The QS34X2245Q3G8 does not specify a maximum clock frequency because it is a passive analog switch-not a clocked device. Its bandwidth is determined by RON and load capacitance: with 23Ω RON and 50pF load, the RC time constant is ~1.25ns, supporting clean signal transmission up to 200+ MHz in well-terminated systems. System-level bandwidth depends on PCB layout and termination.
Does QS34X2245Q3G8 support 3.3V-only operation?
No, QS34X2245Q3G8 is specified for 5.0V ±5% operation only. It is not rated for 3.3V supply; attempting to operate below 4.75V violates the Absolute Maximum Ratings and may result in unreliable switching or increased RON. For 3.3V systems, consider voltage-translating alternatives like PI3CH400QE.
How many independent enable controls does QS34X2245Q3G8 provide?
QS34X2245Q3G8 provides four independent active-low Output Enable inputs: OE1, OE2, OE3, and OE4. Each controls a distinct 8-bit segment (e.g., OE1 controls A0–A7/B0–B7), allowing granular isolation of subsections of the 32-bit bus without affecting other lanes.
Is QS34X2245Q3G8 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, QS34X2245Q3G8 is RoHS-compliant and manufactured in a lead-free process. The "Q3G" in the part number denotes the 80-pin MilliPaQ™ green (lead-free) package, confirmed in the Ordering Information section of the datasheet revision dated August 2012.
Can QS34X2245Q3G8 be used for analog signal switching?
QS34X2245Q3G8 is characterized and qualified only for digital bus switching applications. While its FET structure permits analog pass-through, it lacks guaranteed parameters for analog performance (e.g., THD, flatness, channel-to-channel crosstalk). For analog signals, use purpose-built analog switches such as the ADG1436 or MAX4617 instead of QS34X2245Q3G8.
