Product details
Overview
QS3VH16800PAG8 from Renesas Electronics (formerly IDT) is a 20-bit, 2.5V/3.3V high-bandwidth bus switch with precharged B-port outputs, 4Ω typical ON resistance, <0.2ns propagation delay, and 5V-tolerant I/Os. It enables bidirectional, rail-to-rail (0–5V) signal routing in hot-swap-capable systems such as Ethernet LAN switches and pluggable card interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the QS3VH16800PAG8 datasheet, QS3VH16800PAG8 pinout, QS3VH16800PAG8 application, or QS3VH16800PAG8 equivalent, key selection criteria include VBIAS-configurable precharge voltage, industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), TSSOP-48 package compatibility, and LVTTL-compatible enable control with undershoot clamp diodes.
Technical Context
The QS3VH16800PAG8 implements dual 10-bit N-channel FET bus switches with no parasitic diode to VCC, enabling true isolation during power-off and eliminating DC paths to VCC or GND. Its architecture supports independent OE1/OE2 control for flexible partitioning into two 10-bit switches or one unified 20-bit path.
Precharge is applied to all B-port pins via a user-selectable VBIAS (0–5V), minimizing live-insertion noise by holding outputs near bias potential before enable assertion. Switch operation is rail-to-rail (0–5V), 5V-tolerant in both ON and OFF states, and exhibits flat RON over voltage and temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage (VCC) | 2.3V to 3.6V - supports mixed 2.5V/3.3V system interfacing without level shifters. |
| ON Resistance (RON) | 4Ω typical at VCC = 3V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and distortion in high-speed data paths. |
| Propagation Delay | <0.2ns - contributes negligible timing budget overhead in high-frequency bus switching applications. |
| I/O Capacitance | 4pF typical (switch OFF) - reduces loading on driving sources and improves signal integrity up to 500MHz bandwidth. |
| VBIAS Range | 0V to 5V - allows precise precharge tuning to match system noise thresholds and reduce ground bounce during hot insertion. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded and communications equipment deployment. |
| Enable Frequency (OEx) | Up to 20MHz - supports high-rate control signaling for dynamic bus reconfiguration. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-48 (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package, Green, lead-free), 12.5mm × 6.1mm body, 0.5mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OE1, OE2 | Control Input | Independent LVTTL-compatible enables for two 10-bit switch banks; active-low logic controls bidirectional conduction. |
| A0–A19 | I/O Port A | 20-bit primary bus interface; connects to CPU, memory, or controller side with full 5V tolerance. |
| B0–B19 | I/O Port B | 20-bit secondary bus interface; precharged to VBIAS when disabled to suppress live-insertion transients. |
| VBIAS | Analog Bias Input | User-supplied reference (0–5V) setting precharge voltage for all B-port pins; open-circuit defaults to ~2.4V via internal 5kΩ resistor. |
| VCC, GND (×4) | Power & Ground | Dual VCC/GND pairs per half-bank minimize supply noise coupling; supports stable operation under fast switching loads. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-bandwidth bus switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT16212DGGR | 16-bit, 5V-only supply (4.5–5.5V); no VBIAS precharge; higher RON (6Ω typ.); TSSOP-48. | Lacks live-insertion noise suppression; suited for static 5V systems only. | Select when VBIAS functionality is unnecessary and 5V-only operation is acceptable. |
| PI3CH400LE | 20-bit, 3.3V-only (2.97–3.63V); no VBIAS; lower bandwidth (300MHz); QFN-48. | Not 5V-tolerant; unsuitable for mixed-voltage or hot-swap use cases requiring precharge. | Choose for space-constrained PCBs where QFN thermal performance outweighs VBIAS and 5V tolerance needs. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the QS3VH16800PAG8 enable inputs?
The QS3VH16800PAG8 supports an enable toggle frequency up to 20MHz under specified test conditions (VBIAS = OPEN, VIN = 5V, RLOAD > 1MΩ). This allows rapid reconfiguration of the 20-bit bus path in real-time switching applications without violating timing margins. The QS3VH16800PAG8 achieves this using LVTTL-compatible inputs with undershoot clamp diodes and low input capacitance (3–5pF).
Does the QS3VH16800PAG8 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on OE1/OE2?
No, the QS3VH16800PAG8 does not require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on OE1 or OE2. Its LVTTL-compatible control inputs have defined VIH/VIL thresholds (e.g., VIH ≥ 2.0V at VCC = 2.7–3.6V) and low input leakage (±1μA), allowing direct connection to FPGA or MCU GPIOs. The QS3VH16800PAG8 also includes internal ESD protection and clamp diodes, further simplifying board-level design.
Can the QS3VH16800PAG8 be used with a 2.5V supply and 5V signals on the A/B ports?
Yes, the QS3VH16800PAG8 is fully 5V-tolerant on all A and B port I/Os in both ON and OFF states when powered from VCC = 2.5V. This allows safe interfacing between 2.5V logic domains and 5V peripherals without external level-shifting circuitry. The QS3VH16800PAG8 maintains 5V tolerance because its N-channel FET structure lacks parasitic diodes to VCC, and its absolute maximum ratings specify −0.5V to +5.5V on all switch terminals.
How is VBIAS configured on the QS3VH16800PAG8, and what happens if left unconnected?
VBIAS is a user-supplied bias voltage (0–5V) applied to the VBIAS pin to set the precharge level for all B-port outputs. If left unconnected (open), the QS3VH16800PAG8 internally biases VBIAS to ~2.4V via a 5kΩ resistor, as confirmed in the DC electrical characteristics table. This default value minimizes noise during hot insertion in typical 3.3V systems. The QS3VH16800PAG8's VBIAS specification is explicitly tested and guaranteed across temperature and supply voltage ranges.
What is the OFF-state leakage current of the QS3VH16800PAG8 at maximum temperature?
The QS3VH16800PAG8 guarantees OFF-state leakage current (IOZ) of ±1μA maximum over the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and 0V ≤ VOUT ≤ 5V. This low leakage ensures high isolation between bus segments during disable, critical for preventing signal contention or power loss in multi-drop configurations. The QS3VH16800PAG8 achieves this via high-impedance FET cutoff and optimized channel design, verified in production testing per the datasheet's DC electrical characteristics table.
