Product details
Overview
QS34X383Q3G8 from Renesas Electronics (formerly IDT) is a high-speed 32-bit bus exchange switch implementing four independent 8-bit CMOS TTL-compatible bus switches with 5Ω ON resistance, zero propagation delay, and nibble-swap capability via BX control signals. It operates across –40°C to +85°C and is used in industrial backplane interconnects requiring low-noise, live-insertion-capable signal routing.
For engineers reviewing the QS34X383Q3G8 datasheet, QS34X383Q3G8 pinout, QS34X383Q3G8 application, or QS34X383Q3G8 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 5Ω RON, sub-0.25 ns max propagation delay, 80-pin MilliPaQ package mapping, BX-controlled nibble exchange functionality, and industrial temperature qualification.
Technical Context
The QS34X383Q3G8 integrates four independent 8-bit bidirectional bus switches, each controlled by dedicated Bus Enable (BEx) and Bus Exchange (BXx) inputs. Its CMOS architecture delivers TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V) and supports live insertion via high-impedance isolation when disabled.
Switch operation enables direct bus connect mode (A↔B, C↔D) or nibble-swapped mode (A↔D, B↔C) per channel set. Timing is characterized with tPZL/tPLZ ≤ 6.5 ns and charge injection ≤ 1.5 pC, ensuring minimal signal disturbance during dynamic reconfiguration.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus exchange switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT3244DBR | 8-bit non-exchange bus switch; no BX control or nibble-swap function; 7Ω RON | Lacks bus reordering capability; suitable only for static point-to-point routing | Select when nibble swapping is unnecessary and channel count permits splitting logic across two devices |
| PI3CH480E | 16-bit dual-channel switch with 3-state outputs; 6Ω RON; no built-in exchange logic | Requires external control logic for nibble swap; higher pin count (56-pin TSSOP) | Choose if board space allows discrete control implementation and thermal constraints favor smaller package |
Compared with SN74CBT3244DBR and PI3CH480E, the QS34X383Q3G8 uniquely integrates nibble-swap functionality within a single 80-pin package, eliminating external logic and reducing interconnect delay-critical for deterministic real-time bus arbitration and legacy interface adaptation.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for QS34X383Q3G8?
The QS34X383Q3G8 supports a supply voltage range of –0.5 V to +7.0 V on all terminals except VCC, with VCC specified at 5.0 V ±5%. This allows safe operation with transient overvoltage up to 7 V and ensures robustness against power-rail noise in industrial environments. The device must be operated at 5.0 V nominal for guaranteed timing and RON performance per datasheet specifications.
Does QS34X383Q3G8 support hot-swap or live-insertion applications?
Yes, the QS34X383Q3G8 explicitly supports live insertion per its datasheet features and functional description. Its high-impedance OFF state (Z), TTL-compatible control inputs, and low charge injection (≤1.5 pC) prevent bus contention and signal disturbance during module insertion/removal. This makes QS34X383Q3G8 suitable for telecom shelf architectures and modular PLC backplanes requiring uninterrupted operation.
How does the nibble-swap function work in QS34X383Q3G8?
The nibble-swap function in QS34X383Q3G8 is activated per channel group using the BX1–BX4 inputs. When BXx = HIGH, the switch connects A↔D and B↔C instead of the default A↔B and C↔D. This enables 4-bit-wide data reordering without external logic. Each BX signal controls one 8-bit segment, allowing independent configuration across the 32-bit bus - a capability confirmed in the Function Table and Block Diagram of the QS34X383Q3G8 datasheet.
What is the thermal performance of the QS34X383Q3G8 in its 80-pin MilliPaQ package?
The QS34X383Q3G8's 80-pin MilliPaQ package includes an exposed thermal pad that enables effective heat dissipation. With a maximum power dissipation of 1.4 W at TA = 85°C and junction-to-ambient thermal resistance optimized for surface-mount conduction, the package maintains safe operating temperatures under full-switching conditions. Layout guidelines recommend soldering the thermal pad to a solid copper plane for optimal thermal performance in QS34X383Q3G8 designs.
Is QS34X383Q3G8 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, QS34X383Q3G8 is RoHS compliant and lead-free. The ordering information section of the datasheet specifies "150 mil MilliPaQ – Green" packaging, and revision history notes removal of non-RoHS parts in August 2012. Renesas confirms full compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and associated amendments, including exemption 7a for lead in high-melting-temperature type solders.
