Product details
Overview
QS3VH16861PAG8 from Renesas Electronics (formerly IDT) is a 20-bit bidirectional bus switch with flow-through pinout, designed for high-bandwidth signal routing in hot-swap and Ethernet switching applications. It operates from 2.3V to 3.6V VCC, delivers <0.2 ns propagation delay, 4 Ω typical RON, 5V-tolerant I/Os, and supports –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the QS3VH16861PAG8 datasheet, QS3VH16861PAG8 pinout, QS3VH16861PAG8 application, or QS3VH16861PAG8 equivalent, key selection criteria include rail-to-rail 0–5V analog/digital switching capability, dual active-low enable controls (BE1/BE2), TSSOP-48 package compatibility, and high OFF-state impedance (>1 GΩ) for isolation during power-off conditions.
Technical Context
The QS3VH16861PAG8 implements N-channel FET switches without parasitic diodes to VCC, enabling true 5V tolerance in both ON and OFF states and eliminating DC paths to supply or ground. Its architecture supports independent control of two 10-bit channel groups (A0–A9/B0–B9 and A10–A19/B10–B19) via BE1 and BE2.
Signal integrity is maintained through flat RON over voltage and temperature, 4 pF typical I/O capacitance in OFF state, and near-zero ground bounce due to bidirectional, zero-delay data flow. Propagation delay remains under 0.2 ns at 50 pF load, limited only by external RC effects-not internal logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3V to 3.6V - enables interoperability with 2.5V and 3.3V logic domains without level shifters |
| RON (Typ.) | 4 Ω at VCC = 3V - ensures minimal insertion loss and signal distortion for high-speed digital/analog signals |
| Propagation Delay | <0.2 ns - contributes negligible timing skew in 10/100 Mbps Ethernet or hot-swap control paths |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | 0–5V rail-to-rail - allows safe interfacing with 5V legacy peripherals while powered from 3.3V supply |
| OFF-State Impedance | >1 GΩ - provides effective channel isolation during system reconfiguration or power sequencing |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded networking and telecom infrastructure |
| Enable Frequency Max | 20 MHz (at VCC = 3.3V) - supports rapid dynamic bus partitioning in real-time systems |
Pinout & Package
QS3VH16861PAG8 is packaged in a 48-pin Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP), green RoHS-compliant, with exposed pad not present. Pin layout follows flow-through topology: Bus A (A0–A19) and Bus B (B0–B19) are arranged in mirrored order across the package for minimal trace length and crosstalk reduction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BEx (BE1, BE2) | Active-Low Enable Control | Independent gating of two 10-bit channel banks; low enables bidirectional conduction between corresponding A/B pins |
| A0–A19 | Bus A Terminal | Input/output node on side A; electrically identical to Bx when enabled, with no directionality or buffering |
| B0–B19 | Bus B Terminal | Input/output node on side B; forms 20 independent analog/digital pass-gates with A0–A19 |
| VCC (Pins 1, 13) | Power Supply | Supplies gate drive for all N-FET switches; must be decoupled locally to maintain RON stability |
| GND (Pins 12, 25) | Ground Reference | Return path for control logic and switch current; separate GND pins reduce ground bounce in high-speed switching |
| NC (Pins 48, 36) | No Connect | Unbonded die pads; must remain unconnected per design-no pull-up/down or routing allowed |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5V-tolerant I/Os in ON/OFF states | Enables mixed-voltage system integration without external clamping or level translation circuitry |
| No parasitic diode to VCC | Prevents back-powering and latch-up during hot-insertion or partial power-down scenarios |
| Rail-to-rail 0–5V analog switching | Supports clean transmission of analog video, audio, or sensor signals alongside digital buses |
| Flat RON vs. input voltage | Maintains consistent signal attenuation and bandwidth across full 0–5V swing, critical for ADC/DAC interfaces |
| Undershoot clamp diodes | Protects inputs from negative transients down to –3V (20 ns pulse), improving robustness in noisy environments |
Applications
| Hot-Swappable Module Interface | Ethernet LAN Switch Backplane |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT16210DGGR | 10-bit, 24-pin TSSOP; 5V-tolerant but only 3.3V VCC-rated; RON = 5 Ω typical | Single 10-bit bank; lacks dual-enable architecture and flow-through pinout | Select when space-constrained layouts require smaller footprint and only one 10-bit segment is needed |
| PI3CHD266QEX | 20-bit, 48-pin TSSOP; 3.3V-only VCC; RON = 6 Ω typical; no 5V tolerance in OFF state | Requires external clamping for 5V signals; lower bandwidth (300 MHz vs. 500 MHz) | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where 5V tolerance is not required and VCC is strictly 3.3V |
Compared with SN74CBT16210DGGR and PI3CHD266QEX, the QS3VH16861PAG8 uniquely combines dual 10-bit independent enables, full 5V tolerance in both states, and flow-through pinout-making it the only option for high-reliability hot-swap systems requiring simultaneous 20-bit isolation and legacy voltage support.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency for the enable inputs of QS3VH16861PAG8?
The QS3VH16861PAG8 supports up to 20 MHz toggle frequency on its BE1 and BE2 enable inputs when VCC = 3.3V, as specified in the switching characteristics table. This allows rapid dynamic reconfiguration of bus segments without violating setup/hold timing. The QS3VH16861PAG8 does not impose internal clocking-enable transitions directly control FET gate drive, making timing dependent only on external driving strength and load capacitance.
Does QS3VH16861PAG8 support true 5V tolerance when VCC is unpowered?
Yes, the QS3VH16861PAG8 maintains 5V tolerance on all A and B terminals even when VCC = 0V, due to its N-channel FET structure with no parasitic diode to VCC. This enables safe hot-plug operation and prevents back-powering of the supply rail. The QS3VH16861PAG8 datasheet confirms IOFF leakage remains ≤±1 μA under these conditions, ensuring robust isolation.
How many independent switch banks does QS3VH16861PAG8 provide?
The QS3VH16861PAG8 provides two independent 10-bit switch banks: Bank 1 (A0–A9 ↔ B0–B9) controlled by BE1, and Bank 2 (A10–A19 ↔ B10–B19) controlled by BE2. Each bank can be enabled or disabled separately, allowing flexible partitioning of the 20-bit bus. This architecture is explicitly defined in the function table and pin description sections of the QS3VH16861PAG8 datasheet.
What is the typical ON-resistance variation across the full input voltage range for QS3VH16861PAG8?
The QS3VH16861PAG8 exhibits flat RON characteristics: variation is less than ±1 Ω from 0V to 5V input swing at VCC = 3.3V, as shown in the Typical RON vs. VIN graph. This stability ensures consistent signal attenuation and bandwidth across rail-to-rail analog signals. The QS3VH16861PAG8 achieves this via optimized FET sizing and gate drive design, confirmed in the DC electrical characteristics section.
Is QS3VH16861PAG8 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes, QS3VH16861PAG8 is manufactured in a green RoHS-compliant TSSOP package (PAG suffix) and qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles, including peak temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds. The device meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 requirements, and the ordering information explicitly lists "Tape and Reel" packaging for automated assembly. No special thermal derating is required for QS3VH16861PAG8 during reflow.
