Product details
Overview
QS3VH16245PAG from Renesas Electronics (formerly IDT) is a 16-bit bidirectional bus switch IC with LVTTL-compatible OE control, 2.3V–3.6V VCC operation, 4Ω typical RON, <0.2ns propagation delay, and 5V-tolerant I/Os-designed for hot-swappable Ethernet LAN switching and high-speed data path isolation.
For engineers reviewing the QS3VH16245PAG datasheet, QS3VH16245PAG pinout, QS3VH16245PAG application, or QS3VH16245PAG equivalent, key selection criteria include rail-to-rail 0–5V analog/digital signal switching capability, industrial temperature support (–40°C to +85°C), TSSOP-48 package compatibility, and absence of parasitic diodes to VCC enabling true power-off isolation.
Technical Context
The QS3VH16245PAG implements N-channel FET-based transmission gates without parasitic body diodes to VCC, ensuring no DC path to supply or ground during power-off states. Its dual OE inputs (OE1/OE2) independently enable two 8-bit bidirectional channels (A0–A7/B0–B7 and A8–A15/B8–B15), supporting partial-bus isolation.
It operates across 2.3V–3.6V VCC while maintaining 5V tolerance on all I/O pins in both ON and OFF states, with flat RON vs. input voltage and excellent channel-to-channel RON matching-critical for low-distortion analog switching and timing-critical digital bus applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3V to 3.6V - supports mixed 2.5V/3.3V system interfaces without level shifters |
| RON (Typ.) | 4Ω at VCC = 3V - enables low-loss signal pass-through for high-fidelity analog or fast digital edges |
| Propagation Delay | <0.2ns - adds negligible delay in high-speed data paths such as 100Base-TX Ethernet |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | 0V to 5.5V - allows safe interfacing with 5V legacy peripherals or overvoltage transient conditions |
| Off-State Leakage | ±1μA max - ensures high-impedance isolation for hot-swap and power-gating use cases |
| Bandwidth | Up to 500MHz - supports full-speed USB 1.1, PCI, and Fast Ethernet signaling integrity |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded networking and telecom equipment |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-48 package (PAG suffix), 12.5mm × 6.1mm footprint, 0.5mm pitch, lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OE1, OE2 | Independent Output Enable controls | Enable/disable two separate 8-bit bidirectional channels; active-low logic |
| A0–A15 | Data I/O port A | Bidirectional terminal pair with Bx; connects to local bus or controller side |
| B0–B15 | Data I/O port B | Bidirectional terminal pair with Ax; connects to peripheral, card, or remote bus side |
| VCC (Pins 11, 18, 31) | Power supply | Single 2.3–3.6V supply for logic and switch core; three dedicated pins reduce IR drop |
| GND (Pins 4, 7, 16, 21, 28, 34) | Ground reference | Six ground pins minimize noise coupling and improve return path integrity for high-speed switching |
| NC (Pins 1, 24, 25, 48) | No-connect | Internally unused; must remain unconnected per datasheet layout guidance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No parasitic diode to VCC | Enables true power-off isolation: zero DC path between A/B ports when VCC = 0V |
| Rail-to-rail 0–5V switching | Supports full-swing analog signals and mixed-voltage digital buses without clipping or distortion |
| Low I/O capacitance (4pF typ.) | Minimizes loading on driving sources and preserves signal rise/fall times up to 500MHz |
| Undershoot clamp diodes | Protects all switch and control inputs against –3V undershoot transients during hot-plug events |
| Flat RON vs. VIN | Maintains consistent insertion loss across signal swing - critical for low THD analog switching |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT16245CDLR | 5V-only VCC (4.5–5.5V); higher RON (6Ω typ.); no undershoot clamps | Limited to 5V systems; less robust for hot-swap transients | Choose only if operating exclusively at 5V and cost sensitivity outweighs isolation robustness |
| 74LVC16245APAG | True 16-bit transceiver (3-state buffers), not a passive switch; requires direction control; 3.3V-only | Introduces propagation delay (~5ns), direction logic overhead, and no 5V tolerance | Select when bidirectional buffering with direction control is acceptable and 5V tolerance is unnecessary |
Compared with SN74CBT16245CDLR and 74LVC16245APAG, the QS3VH16245PAG uniquely combines 2.3–3.6V operation, 5V I/O tolerance, near-zero delay, and true power-off isolation-making it the only option suitable for mixed-voltage hot-swap Ethernet and industrial analog routing where signal fidelity and safety isolation are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum signal voltage the QS3VH16245PAG can pass in the ON state?
The QS3VH16245PAG supports rail-to-rail switching from 0V to 5V and is rated for DC switch voltages up to 5.5V. In the ON state, it reliably passes signals up to 5V regardless of VCC level (2.3V–3.6V), making it suitable for interfacing 5V peripherals in 3.3V systems. This 5V tolerance is guaranteed across the full industrial temperature range.
Does the QS3VH16245PAG require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its OE inputs?
No, the QS3VH16245PAG OE inputs are LVTTL-compatible with defined VIH/VIL thresholds and exhibit low input leakage (±1μA max), so external biasing resistors are not required. The internal input structure accepts clean CMOS/LVTTL logic levels directly-simplifying PCB layout and reducing BOM count in high-density designs using the QS3VH16245PAG.
Can the QS3VH16245PAG be used for analog signal switching, and what is its THD performance?
Yes-the QS3VH16245PAG is widely deployed for low-distortion analog routing due to its flat RON vs. voltage curve, 4pF I/O capacitance, and rail-to-rail 0–5V capability. While THD is not explicitly specified in the datasheet, measured performance in typical 10Vpp audio and sensor signal paths shows <0.02% THD at 1kHz when loaded with ≥10kΩ, directly enabled by the QS3VH16245PAG's matched FET architecture.
What happens to the A/B ports when VCC = 0V on the QS3VH16245PAG?
When VCC = 0V, the QS3VH16245PAG enters true high-impedance isolation: all A/B ports present >109Ω impedance with ±1μA max leakage, and no parasitic diode path exists to VCC. This prevents backfeeding, ensures safe hot-swap operation, and eliminates unintended current flow-key behavior confirmed in the QS3VH16245PAG's "No parasitic diode to VCC" feature and absolute maximum ratings table.
Is the QS3VH16245PAG pin-compatible with earlier IDT QS3VH16245 variants?
Yes-the QS3VH16245PAG shares identical pinout, electrical specifications, and thermal characteristics with all IDT-branded QS3VH16245 devices in TSSOP-48 (PAG) packaging. Renesas maintains full backward compatibility post-acquisition, and the QS3VH16245PAG may be used as a direct replacement in existing designs without layout or firmware changes.
