Product details
Overview
QS3VH2245QG8 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. It operates from 2.3V to 3.6V VCC and supports rail-to-rail analog switching (0–5V) in industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), enabling hot-swap-capable backplane and pluggable card interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the QS3VH2245QG8 datasheet, QS3VH2245QG8 pinout, QS3VH2245QG8 application, or QS3VH2245QG8 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional zero-delay data flow, isolation under power-off conditions, undershoot clamp diodes on all pins, low 4pF OFF-state I/O capacitance, and compatibility with LVTTL control logic in space-constrained QSOP-20 green packaging.
Technical Context
The QS3VH2245QG8 implements eight independent N-channel FET switches without parasitic body diodes to VCC-ensuring true isolation when powered down 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 at VCC ≥ 2.7V).
Each channel delivers flat RON over input voltage (0–5V) and operating temperature, with matched ON resistance across channels (<±1Ω typical variation). The device supports bidirectional signal transmission with no added ground bounce, and tolerates 5V signals regardless of VCC state (ON or OFF), making it suitable for mixed-voltage domain bridging between 3.3V logic and 5V peripherals.
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 - enables precise line matching for high-speed digital buses |
| tPD (Max) | 1.35ns at VCC = 3.3V - adds negligible propagation delay in timing-critical paths |
| CI/O (OFF) | 4pF typical - minimizes capacitive loading on driven nets during isolation |
| I/O Voltage Range | 0V to 5V - allows safe interfacing with legacy 5V devices while powered from 3.3V |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded and telecom equipment |
| Control Input | LVTTL-compatible OE - directly drivable by standard FPGA/CPU GPIO without translation |
Pinout & Package
QS3VH2245QG8 is packaged in a 20-pin QSOP (Green, RoHS-compliant) with 0.65mm pitch and 7.2mm × 4.4mm footprint. Pin 1 is top-left corner (NC), pin 20 is bottom-right (B7); package meets JEDEC MO-137AB standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OE | Active-Low Output Enable | Controls all 8 switches simultaneously; LOW connects A0–A7 ↔ B0–B7, HIGH isolates both sides |
| A0–A7 | Data I/O Port A | Bidirectional analog/digital signal terminals; 5V-tolerant, no DC path to VCC/GND |
| B0–B7 | Data I/O Port B | Mirror-symmetric counterpart to A-side; identical electrical behavior and voltage tolerance |
| VCC | Power Supply | Supplies internal charge pump and driver; must be decoupled locally (0.1μF ceramic) |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return for all I/Os and control logic; separate from analog ground not required |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 1 is unconnected die pad - must remain floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

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 (≈29Ω typ.), wider VCC range (4.5–5.5V), no 5V tolerance in OFF state | Requires 5V supply; unsuitable for 3.3V-only systems with 5V signal injection | Prefer when system uses 5V logic and does not require power-off isolation |
| PI3CH485LE | Lower capacitance (3pF OFF), but only 3.3V VCC operation and no 5V tolerance on I/Os | Not usable in mixed-voltage domains; limited to 3.3V-only signal routing | Choose for ultra-low-capacitance needs where 5V tolerance is unnecessary |
Compared with SN74CBT3245APWR and PI3CH485LE, the QS3VH2245QG8 uniquely combines 5V-tolerant I/Os, true power-off isolation, and 2.3–3.6V VCC operation-making it the only option for hot-swap interfaces bridging 3.3V hosts and 5V legacy peripherals without external protection circuitry.

FAQ
What is the maximum signal voltage the QS3VH2245QG8 can pass when VCC = 0V?
The QS3VH2245QG8 maintains 5V tolerance on all A/B/OE pins even when VCC = 0V, due to its N-channel FET structure with no parasitic diode to VCC. This enables true power-off isolation-signals up to 5V may be present on either side without forward-biasing internal junctions or causing leakage. This behavior is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table (VTERM(3) = –0.5V to +5.5V) and the Features section describing "isolation under power-off conditions." The QS3VH2245QG8 thus safely handles live-backplane scenarios where downstream circuits remain energized after host power removal.
Does the QS3VH2245QG8 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on the OE pin?
No, the QS3VH2245QG8 OE input has guaranteed LVTTL-compatible thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0V, VIL ≤ 0.8V at VCC ≥ 2.7V) and ±1μA max input leakage, eliminating need for external biasing. When driven directly by FPGA or microcontroller GPIO, OE functions reliably without pull resistors. However, if left floating in system-level design, OE defaults to HIGH (switches OFF) due to internal weak pull-up-not specified in datasheet but observed in application notes for QuickSwitch family. For robustness in noisy environments, a 10kΩ pull-down is recommended to ensure defined OFF state during power-up sequencing. The QS3VH2245QG8 datasheet confirms no external components are required for normal operation.
Can the QS3VH2245QG8 be used for analog signal switching with AC-coupled inputs?
Yes, the QS3VH2245QG8 supports rail-to-rail analog switching from 0V to 5V and exhibits flat RON versus input voltage-verified in the "TYPICAL ON RESISTANCE vs VIN" graph. With 4pF OFF-state I/O capacitance and no body diode conduction, it preserves signal integrity for AC-coupled audio, sensor, or clock signals up to ~200MHz bandwidth (limited by RC time constant: RON × CI/O ≈ 100ps). However, DC bias must be maintained within 0–5V at all times; negative swings beyond –0.5V require external clamping per Absolute Maximum Ratings. The QS3VH2245QG8 is explicitly cited in Applications for "low distortion analog switch" use, confirming suitability beyond digital bus extension.
What is the thermal performance of the QS3VH2245QG8 in continuous operation?
The QS3VH2245QG8 has no specified thermal resistance (θJA) in the datasheet, but its quiescent ICCQ is only 2mA typical at max VCC, and dynamic ICCD remains below 4mA at 10MHz OE toggle rate. Power dissipation is therefore <15mW under typical conditions (3.3V × 4mA), generating negligible self-heating in QSOP-20 packaging. The device is characterized across –40°C to +85°C ambient and requires no heatsinking-even at full 120mA per-pin sink current (IOUT), total package power stays below 100mW. Thermal derating is unnecessary unless ambient exceeds +85°C or board-level airflow is restricted; the QS3VH2245QG8 datasheet confirms industrial temperature qualification without thermal caveats.
How does the QS3VH2245QG8 handle undershoot transients on data lines?
The QS3VH2245QG8 integrates undershoot clamp diodes on all A, B, and OE pins, rated for –3V pulses ≤20ns (per Absolute Maximum Ratings). These diodes shunt negative transients to GND, preventing latch-up or oxide stress in downstream drivers. Unlike discrete protection, this feature requires no external components and operates independently of VCC state. Clamping action begins at ≈–0.7V (typical diode forward voltage), limiting excursion to safe levels before damaging thresholds are reached. This capability is explicitly called out in the Features list and validated in the "TEST CIRCUITS AND WAVEFORMS" section-making the QS3VH2245QG8 suitable for noisy backplanes and hot-swap edges where ringing and ground bounce occur. The QS3VH2245QG8 thus provides built-in ESD-like transient suppression without compromising signal bandwidth.
