Product details
Overview
QS3VH2245QG from Renesas Electronics (formerly IDT) is an 8-bit high-bandwidth bus switch with N-channel FET architecture, 25Ω typical ON resistance, 1.35ns max propagation delay at 3.3V, and 5V-tolerant I/Os operating from 2.3V to 3.6V VCC. It enables bidirectional, rail-to-rail (0–5V) signal switching with no added ground bounce-ideal for hot-swap interfaces in telecom backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the QS3VH2245QG datasheet, QS3VH2245QG pinout, QS3VH2245QG application, or QS3VH2245QG equivalent, key selection criteria include its LVTTL-compatible OE control, 4pF typical I/O capacitance, -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range, and QSOP-20 green package compatibility with legacy QuickSwitch® designs.
Technical Context
The QS3VH2245QG implements eight independent N-channel FET switches without parasitic diodes to VCC, ensuring true isolation during power-off and eliminating DC paths to VCC or GND. Its control logic uses a single active-low Output Enable (OE) input compatible with LVTTL voltage thresholds (VIH = 2.0V min at VCC ≥ 2.7V).
Each switch supports bidirectional signal flow with flat RON over the full 0–5V input range and maintains high OFF-state impedance (>10⁹Ω). Propagation delay is dominated by RC time constant (RON × CL), not internal logic-enabling near-zero-delay pass-through when driving 50pF loads.
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 shifters |
| RON (Typ) | 25Ω at VCC = 3.3V, VIN = 2.4V - enables precise line matching for 50Ω/75Ω transmission lines |
| tPD (Max) | 1.35ns at VCC = 3.3V, CL = 50pF - adds negligible delay in high-speed data paths |
| I/O Capacitance | 4pF (OFF), 8pF (ON) - minimizes signal distortion and crosstalk in dense PCB layouts |
| Input Voltage Range | -0.5V to +5.5V on all A/B/OE pins - allows safe interfacing with 5V logic while powered from 3.3V |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded and telecom infrastructure use |
| Leakage Current | ±1μA max (IOZ, IOFF) - ensures low standby power and signal integrity in Hi-Z states |
Pinout & Package
QS3VH2245QG is supplied in a 20-pin QSOP (Quarter-Shrink Small Outline Package), 0.65mm pitch, green (lead-free) variant. Package dimensions: 7.2mm × 5.3mm × 1.75mm height.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OE | Active-Low Output Enable | Controls all 8 switches simultaneously; LVTTL-compatible with VIH ≥ 2.0V (VCC ≥ 2.7V) |
| A0–A7 | Input/Output Port A | Bidirectional data terminals; 5V tolerant, 4pF capacitance, no DC path to VCC/GND |
| B0–B7 | Input/Output Port B | Matched counterpart to A-side; identical RON and timing characteristics per channel |
| VCC | Positive Supply | Power rail for internal driver only; does not bias switch channels directly |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return for control logic and switch substrate; separate from signal ground paths |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 1 is unconnected; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog switching | Supports 0V to 5V signals in both ON and OFF states without clamping or distortion |
| Power-off isolation | N-channel FET structure with no parasitic diode to VCC ensures complete signal blocking when VCC = 0V |
| Undershoot clamp diodes | Integrated protection on all A/B/OE pins limits negative transients to -3V (pulse ≤20ns) |
| RON matching | ≤10% variation between channels - critical for skew-sensitive parallel bus applications |
| Low dynamic ICCD | 2mA max at 10MHz OE toggle - reduces supply noise in mixed-signal systems |
Applications
| Hot-Swappable Backplane Interface | ATM Cell Switching Node |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Insertion/removal of line cards in carrier-grade telecom chassis without powering down the system. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional bus switch isolating card-side logic from backplane during insertion; enables zero-downtime maintenance. Use Value: Prevents bus contention and ground bounce via 25Ω RON and 1.35ns tPD, while 5V tolerance accommodates legacy 5V signaling on live backplanes. | Use Scenario: Routing ATM 25/155 Mbps cell streams between ingress/egress ports in edge routers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-skew, low-capacitance signal path selector enabling deterministic latency across multiple parallel data lanes. Use Value: 4pF I/O capacitance and matched RON ensure <10ps inter-channel skew, preserving cell alignment at OC-3/OC-12 rates. |
| Low-Distortion Analog Multiplexer | Relay Replacement in Test Equipment |
Use Scenario: Selecting between multiple sensor inputs (e.g., thermocouples, RTDs) in precision industrial DAQ systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Analog switch providing rail-to-rail signal pass-through with minimal THD and no charge injection. Use Value: Flat RON vs. VIN curve and absence of body diodes eliminate signal-dependent gain error and offset drift. | Use Scenario: Replacing electromechanical relays in automated test equipment (ATE) fixture I/O matrices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Solid-state replacement delivering microsecond switching, >10⁹ cycle lifetime, and no contact wear. Use Value: 25Ω RON and 1.35ns tPD enable fast, repeatable signal routing; 5V tolerance supports mixed-voltage DUT interfaces. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT3245APWR | Higher RON (26Ω typ), wider VCC range (4.5–5.5V), no 5V tolerance on I/Os when VCC = 3.3V | Requires external clamping for 5V signals; suited for pure 5V systems only | Select if operating exclusively at 5V and needing higher drive strength |
| PI3CH485LE | Lower capacitance (3pF), but only 3.3V-only operation and no 5V I/O tolerance | Not suitable for mixed-voltage hot-swap; limited to 3.3V domain signal routing | Prefer for ultra-low-capacitance 3.3V-only applications where 5V tolerance is unnecessary |
Compared with SN74CBT3245APWR and PI3CH485LE, the QS3VH2245QG uniquely combines 5V I/O tolerance at 3.3V VCC, power-off isolation, and sub-nanosecond timing-making it the only option for robust hot-swap and mixed-voltage telecom interface design.

FAQ
What is the maximum signal voltage the QS3VH2245QG can pass in the ON state?
The QS3VH2245QG supports rail-to-rail switching from 0V to 5V in both ON and OFF states. When powered from 2.3V–3.6V VCC, its I/O pins tolerate up to +5.5V DC and -0.5V undershoot (pulse ≤20ns), making QS3VH2245QG suitable for interfacing 5V logic domains without level shifters or external protection.
Does the QS3VH2245QG require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on the OE pin?
No-QS3VH2245QG features LVTTL-compatible input thresholds with VIH ≥ 2.0V (at VCC ≥ 2.7V) and VIL ≤ 0.8V, allowing direct connection to standard FPGA or ASIC GPIOs. Internal input leakage is ±1μA max, so external biasing is unnecessary unless noise immunity in high-EMI environments is required. The QS3VH2245QG operates reliably with OE driven actively.
Can the QS3VH2245QG be used with VCC = 2.5V, and how does that affect performance?
Yes-QS3VH2245QG is fully characterized for 2.5V ±0.2V operation. At 2.5V, typical RON increases to 27Ω (vs. 25Ω at 3.3V), and max tPD rises to 0.9ns. All DC specs-including 5V I/O tolerance and power-off isolation-remain valid. The QS3VH2245QG maintains full functionality across its 2.3V–3.6V VCC range without derating.
What is the thermal performance of the QS3VH2245QG in continuous operation?
QS3VH2245QG is rated for -40°C to +85°C ambient operation with no derating. Its maximum junction temperature is +125°C, and typical power dissipation is <2mW in static operation (ICCQ = 2mA typ). Under dynamic switching at 10MHz OE toggle, total ICCD remains ≤2mA-ensuring minimal self-heating in QSOP-20 packages even at full industrial temperature extremes.
Is the QS3VH2245QG pin-compatible with earlier IDT QS3VH2245 variants?
Yes-the QS3VH2245QG retains identical pinout, electrical behavior, and timing specs as the original IDT QS3VH2245 in QSOP-20 packaging. Renesas maintains full backward compatibility, including identical absolute maximum ratings, DC characteristics, and switching parameters. Designers may drop in QS3VH2245QG as a direct replacement for legacy IDT-labeled units.
