Product details
Overview
QS3VH16245PAG8 from Renesas Electronics (formerly IDT) is a 16-bit bidirectional bus switch IC with LVTTL-compatible control, 2.3V–3.6V VCC operation, 4Ω typical RON, <0.2ns propagation delay, and 5V-tolerant I/Os. It enables hot-swappable, rail-to-rail signal routing in high-speed LAN switching and live-system card insertion.
For engineers reviewing the QS3VH16245PAG8 datasheet, QS3VH16245PAG8 pinout, QS3VH16245PAG8 application, or QS3VH16245PAG8 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual OE-controlled 8-bit channel isolation, sub-250ps signal path delay, 500MHz bandwidth, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and TSSOP-48 green package compatibility.
Technical Context
The QS3VH16245PAG8 implements N-channel FET bus switches without parasitic diodes to VCC, enabling true power-off isolation and no DC path to supply or ground. Its control logic uses two independent LVTTL-compatible Output Enable inputs (OE1, OE2) to configure four functional states: full connect, A0–A7 ↔ B0–B7 only, A8–A15 ↔ B8–B15 only, or full high-impedance disconnect.
Each switch channel supports rail-to-rail analog/digital signals from 0V to 5V regardless of VCC level (2.3V–3.6V), with flat RON vs. input voltage and excellent inter-channel RON matching. Undershoot clamp diodes on all I/O and control pins protect against transient overvoltage during hot-swap events.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3V to 3.6V - supports both 2.5V and 3.3V system rails without level translation |
| RON (Typ.) | 4Ω at VCC = 3V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and distortion for high-fidelity analog/digital pass-through |
| Propagation Delay | <0.2ns - adds negligible timing skew in high-speed data paths such as Ethernet PHY interfaces |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | 0V to 5.5V - allows safe interfacing with 5V legacy peripherals while powered from 3.3V or 2.5V |
| Bandwidth | Up to 500MHz - supports Fast Ethernet (100BASE-TX) and ATM 155 Mbps signal integrity |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded networking and telecom equipment |
| I/O Capacitance | 4pF (OFF), 8pF (ON) - minimizes loading on driving sources and preserves signal rise/fall times |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-48 (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package, Green, 12.5mm × 6.1mm × 1.2mm body height) with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OE1, OE2 | Independent LVTTL-compatible Output Enable controls | Enable/disable two 8-bit switch banks separately - critical for phased hot-swap sequencing and partial bus isolation |
| A0–A15 | First-side bidirectional data I/Os | Connect to local logic (e.g., CPU, ASIC); tolerate 0–5V signals regardless of VCC |
| B0–B15 | Second-side bidirectional data I/Os | Connect to peripheral bus (e.g., pluggable card, PHY); provide 5V-safe interface across power domains |
| VCC (Pins 11, 31, 38) | Core supply input | Single 2.3–3.6V supply powers all logic and switch circuitry - no auxiliary supplies required |
| GND (Pins 4, 7, 16, 21, 28, 42, 44) | Ground reference | Seven dedicated GND pins minimize ground bounce and improve noise immunity in high-speed switching |
| NC (Pins 1, 24, 25, 48) | No-connect terminals | Physically present but internally unconnected - must remain floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Power-off isolation | N-channel FET architecture with no parasitic diode to VCC prevents back-drive current when VCC = 0V - essential for safe hot-plug insertion |
| Rail-to-rail analog switching | 0V to 5V signal pass-through with flat RON - preserves waveform fidelity for low-distortion analog multiplexing |
| Low dynamic power | 1.5mA typical quiescent ICCQ and ≤30μA per enabled control input - reduces system-level standby power in always-on network nodes |
| Undershoot protection | Integrated clamp diodes on all I/O and control pins - suppresses –3V transients without external components |
| High OFF-state impedance | ±1μA max off-state leakage - prevents signal crosstalk and unintended biasing in disconnected buses |
Applications
| Hot-Swappable Card Interface | Fast Ethernet PHY Isolation |
|---|---|

FAQ
What is the maximum signal voltage the QS3VH16245PAG8 can pass while powered from 3.3V?
The QS3VH16245PAG8 supports rail-to-rail signal switching from 0V to 5.5V on all A and B I/O pins, regardless of VCC level. When powered from 3.3V, it safely passes 5V logic or analog signals without damage or level shifting - a key enabler for mixed-voltage system interfacing in the QS3VH16245PAG8 design.
Does the QS3VH16245PAG8 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on OE1 and OE2?
No. The QS3VH16245PAG8 features LVTTL-compatible control inputs with defined VIH/VIL thresholds (2.0V min HIGH, 0.8V max LOW at VCC = 3.3V), allowing direct connection to standard logic drivers. External resistors are unnecessary unless specific system noise immunity requirements dictate otherwise - confirmed in the QS3VH16245PAG8 DC electrical characteristics table.
Can the QS3VH16245PAG8 be used in analog audio signal routing applications?
Yes. With 4Ω typical RON, 4pF OFF-state capacitance, flat RON vs. voltage, and rail-to-rail 0–5V operation, the QS3VH16245PAG8 maintains low THD and preserves signal integrity in line-level analog paths. Its low charge injection (<1pC) and absence of parasitic diodes make it suitable for audio multiplexing where the QS3VH16245PAG8 replaces mechanical relays or higher-distortion analog switches.
What is the thermal performance of the QS3VH16245PAG8 in continuous operation?
The QS3VH16245PAG8 has a maximum junction temperature of +125°C and operates reliably at ambient temperatures up to +85°C. Its TSSOP-48 package exhibits a θJA of ~90°C/W (typical); with 1.5mA quiescent current and low RON, self-heating remains minimal - validated across industrial temperature range testing in the QS3VH16245PAG8 datasheet.
How does the QS3VH16245PAG8 handle ground bounce during fast switching?
The QS3VH16245PAG8 eliminates added ground bounce by using bidirectional FET switches with no series logic gates or internal latches - signals propagate with near-zero delay and no current surges into GND. Seven dedicated ground pins further reduce impedance, and the absence of shoot-through current ensures clean transitions - a core advantage documented in the QS3VH16245PAG8 functional description.
