Product details
Overview
QS34X245Q3G from Renesas Electronics is a 32-bit high-speed CMOS bus switch with flow-through pinout, zero propagation delay, 5Ω typical ON-resistance at VCC = 5V, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It enables bidirectional voltage translation between 5V and 3.3V buses and supports hot-swapping in server backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the QS34X245Q3G datasheet, QS34X245Q3G pinout, QS34X245Q3G application, or QS34X245Q3G equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed TTL-compatible control inputs, undershoot clamp diodes on all I/Os, 0.25ns max propagation delay, and 80-pin MilliPaQ™ package compatibility with dense PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The QS34X245Q3G implements 32 independent N-channel FET switches with no inherent body diode to VCC, enabling true bidirectional signal pass-through without DC blocking. Each switch is controlled by one of four OE pins (OE1–OE4), allowing segmented bus isolation.
It operates with zero ground bounce and zero propagation delay beyond RC time constant (≤0.25ns for 50pF load), driven solely by its 5Ω typical RON and low input/output capacitance (7–8pF per channel off-state). Control logic uses TTL-compatible thresholds (VIH ≥2V, VIL ≤0.8V) and draws ≤1.5mA per active OE input.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 5.0V ±5% - supports standard 5V logic rails with margin for supply variation |
| RON (Typ) | 5Ω at VCC = 5V, VIN = 0V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and impedance matching for high-speed buses |
| tPLH/tPHL (Max) | 0.25ns - adds negligible delay beyond driver/load RC, preserving timing integrity in 100+ MHz systems |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and telecom infrastructure environments |
| Input Capacitance | 3–4pF (control), 7–8pF (switch channels off) - reduces loading on upstream drivers and eases timing closure |
| Undershoot Clamp | Integrated on all A/B/OE pins - protects against negative transients down to –3V (20ns pulse), eliminating external TVS needs |
| Power Dissipation | 1.4W max at TA = 70°C - enables operation in thermally constrained modules without forced air |
Pinout & Package
QS34X245Q3G is housed in an 80-pin MilliPaQ™ package - a small-outline, surface-mount solution optimized for 32-bit bus density. Pin layout follows flow-through topology to minimize trace crossovers and reduce parasitic inductance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OEn (OE1–OE4) | Active-low enable control | Each OE controls 8 adjacent A/B pairs; low = conductive path, high = Hi-Z isolation |
| An (A0–A31) | Bidirectional data I/O | Connects directly to local bus segment; no direction pin required due to symmetric FET structure |
| Bn (B0–B31) | Bidirectional data I/O | Connects to remote bus segment; supports 5V↔3.3V level shifting without external resistors |
| VCC | Power supply | Single 5V rail powers all switches and control logic; no separate I/O voltage required |
| GND | Ground reference | Four dedicated GND pins distributed across package for low-impedance return paths and noise suppression |
| NC | No-connect | Unbonded pins; must remain unconnected per design - not usable as spare I/O or thermal pads |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zero-propagation-delay switching | RC-limited delay <0.25ns (CL=50pF) - preserves setup/hold timing in DDR and PCIe interconnects |
| Enhanced N-channel FET architecture | No intrinsic source-body diode to VCC - prevents unintended current paths during hot-swap insertion |
| Flow-through pinout | A/B signals enter and exit opposite edges - eliminates layer jumps and vias in 4-layer PCBs |
| TTL-compatible control inputs | VIH ≥2V, VIL ≤0.8V - interfaces directly with legacy 5V microcontrollers and FPGAs without level shifters |
| Integrated undershoot clamps | Clamps to –3V (20ns) on all A/B/OE pins - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD immunity requirements |
Applications
| Server Backplane Isolation | Hot-Swappable Module Interface |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT3245APM | 80-pin TSSOP; RON = 6Ω typ; tPLH = 0.25ns max; no integrated undershoot clamps | Lacks built-in transient protection - requires external diodes for IEC 61000-4-2 compliance | Preferred where board space allows larger TSSOP and cost sensitivity outweighs protection integration |
| PI3CH3245LEX | 80-pin QFN; RON = 7Ω typ; supports 3.3V-only VCC; VIH = 2.0V min (same) | Not 5V-tolerant on I/O - incompatible with mixed-voltage hot-swap where 5V signaling persists | Selected when system operates exclusively at 3.3V and thermal performance demands QFN over MilliPaQ™ |
Compared with SN74CBT3245APM and PI3CH3245LEX, QS34X245Q3G uniquely combines 5V tolerance, integrated undershoot clamps, and MilliPaQ™ footprint - making it the only option qualified for industrial hot-swap without supplemental protection circuitry.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for QS34X245Q3G?
The QS34X245Q3G supports a supply voltage range of –0.5V to +7V on all terminals except VCC, and –0.5V to +7V on VCC pins. Its specified operational VCC is 5.0V ±5%, and it tolerates transient overvoltage up to +7V without damage. This rating enables robustness against power rail overshoot during hot-plug events and ensures compatibility with legacy 5V logic families.
Does QS34X245Q3G support voltage translation between 5V and 3.3V buses?
Yes, QS34X245Q3G supports bidirectional 5V-to-3.3V voltage translation without external components. Its enhanced N-channel FET architecture lacks a body diode to VCC, preventing reverse current flow, and its TTL-compatible control inputs (VIH ≥2V, VIL ≤0.8V) interface directly with both 5V and 3.3V logic. The device passes signals with ≤0.25ns added delay and maintains signal integrity across the translation boundary.
How many independent enable controls does QS34X245Q3G provide?
QS34X245Q3G provides four independent active-low Output Enable inputs: OE1, OE2, OE3, and OE4. Each controls eight adjacent A/B channel pairs (e.g., OE1 controls A0–A7/B0–B7), enabling granular bus segmentation. This allows partial isolation of 32-bit data paths - for example, disabling memory address lines while keeping data lines active - improving system-level power management and fault containment.
Is QS34X245Q3G compatible with RoHS and lead-free assembly processes?
Yes, QS34X245Q3G is RoHS-compliant and qualified for lead-free reflow soldering. The "Q3G" suffix explicitly denotes green (halogen-free, lead-free) packaging in the 80-pin MilliPaQ™ format. It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 and supports peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C, making it suitable for modern SMT production lines without process modification.
What is the thermal performance of QS34X245Q3G in sustained operation?
QS34X245Q3G has a maximum power dissipation of 1.4W at TA = 70°C and a storage temperature range of –65°C to +150°C. Its thermal resistance (θJA) is optimized for the MilliPaQ™ package, supporting continuous operation at full 32-bit switching in industrial enclosures with natural convection. Derating begins above 70°C ambient, and full specification compliance is maintained from –40°C to +85°C without thermal throttling.
