Product details
Overview
QS3VH245SOG from Renesas Electronics (formerly IDT) is an 8-bit bidirectional bus switch IC with N-channel FET architecture, 4Ω typical ON resistance, <0.2ns propagation delay, 5V-tolerant I/Os, and operation from 2.3V to 3.6V VCC. It enables hot-swappable, rail-to-rail analog/digital signal routing in high-speed communications backplanes and Ethernet switch fabric.
For engineers reviewing the QS3VH245SOG datasheet, QS3VH245SOG pinout, QS3VH245SOG application, or QS3VH245SOG equivalent, key selection criteria include its 500MHz bandwidth, -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range, LVTTL-compatible OE control, near-zero ground bounce, and isolation under power-off conditions.
Technical Context
The QS3VH245SOG implements eight independent N-channel FET switches without parasitic diodes to VCC, enabling true 0–5V rail-to-rail analog switching and eliminating DC paths to VCC or GND during power-off. Its control logic uses a single active-low Output Enable (OE) input compatible with LVTTL voltage thresholds.
Each channel exhibits flat RON over voltage and temperature, matched within ±0.5Ω typical, and supports bidirectional data flow with no added propagation delay beyond RC time constant (<0.2ns at 50pF load). Undershoot clamp diodes protect all switch and control inputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3V to 3.6V - supports dual-supply systems using 2.5V or 3.3V logic rails |
| RON (Typ.) | 4Ω at VCC = 3.0V - enables low-loss signal transmission up to 500MHz bandwidth |
| Propagation Delay | <0.2ns - adds negligible latency in high-speed bus isolation paths |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | 0V to 5.5V - allows interfacing between 3.3V logic and 5V analog or legacy buses |
| Off-State Leakage | ±1μA max - ensures high-impedance isolation for hot-swap and system-level power sequencing |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded networking and telecom equipment |
| Input Capacitance | 4pF typical (OFF), 8pF typical (ON) - minimizes loading on high-speed source drivers |
Pinout & Package
QS3VH245SOG is packaged in a 20-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) with green RoHS-compliant finish (SOG suffix). Pin 1 is NC (No Connect); pins 2–9 and 12–19 are bidirectional A/B data pairs; pin 10 is GND; pin 11 is VCC; pin 20 is OE.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OE | Active-Low Output Enable | Controls all 8 channels simultaneously; L = connect A<sub>x</sub> ↔ B<sub>x</sub>; H = high-impedance isolation |
| A0–A7 | Bidirectional Data Port A | Connects to local-side bus (e.g., CPU, FPGA I/O); 5V tolerant, 4pF capacitance |
| B0–B7 | Bidirectional Data Port B | Connects to remote-side bus (e.g., pluggable card, PHY); identical electrical specs to A-side |
| VCC | Positive Supply | 2.3V–3.6V logic supply; powers internal control circuitry only - not switched path |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return for control logic and switch substrate; separate from signal ground planes in layout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No parasitic diode to VCC | Enables safe power-off isolation: no current path to VCC or GND when unpowered |
| Rail-to-rail analog switching | Supports 0–5V continuous signals without clipping - suitable for 10/100BASE-T differential analog waveforms |
| RON matching across channels | ±0.5Ω typical mismatch - preserves signal integrity in parallel bus applications like address/data multiplexing |
| Undershoot clamp diodes | Protects all A/B and OE pins against -3V transient undershoot - critical for hot-swap reliability |
| Low dynamic ICCD | 12mA max at 20MHz OE toggle - reduces noise coupling into adjacent high-speed traces |
Applications
| Hot-Swappable Module Interface | Fast Ethernet LAN Switch Fabric |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Insertion/removal of line cards in carrier-grade switches without powering down the chassis. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional bus isolator placed between backplane and module controller to block fault currents and maintain signal integrity during plug-in/out.

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 (7Ω typ.), wider VCC range (4.5–5.5V), no 5V tolerance on I/Os when VCC = 3.3V | Requires external clamping for hot-swap transients; limited to 3.3V-only systems | Prefer for cost-sensitive 5V-only designs where 5V I/O tolerance is unnecessary |
| PI3CH485LE | Lower bandwidth (300MHz), higher ICCQ (8mA), no undershoot clamps on I/Os | Lacks transient protection needed for live-insertion; less suitable for telecom-grade reliability | Select when lower power consumption is prioritized over hot-swap robustness |
Compared with SN74CBT3245APWR and PI3CH485LE, the QS3VH245SOG uniquely combines 5V I/O tolerance, undershoot clamps, and sub-0.2ns delay - making it optimal for industrial hot-swap and high-fidelity analog routing where signal fidelity and fault resilience are co-critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the QS3VH245SOG?
The QS3VH245SOG supports up to 500MHz bandwidth for analog signal switching and 20MHz maximum toggle frequency on the OE control input under specified load conditions. These values are measured with CL = 50pF and reflect its capability to handle Fast Ethernet (100BASE-TX) signaling without degradation. The QS3VH245SOG's low RON and minimal capacitance enable this performance across its full industrial temperature range.
Does the QS3VH245SOG require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on the OE pin?
No, the QS3VH245SOG OE pin has internally biased LVTTL-compatible input thresholds and does not require external biasing. VIH is guaranteed ≥2.0V and VIL ≤0.8V across the full VCC range (2.3V–3.6V), allowing direct connection to standard FPGA or microcontroller GPIO outputs. The QS3VH245SOG datasheet confirms no external resistors are needed for reliable enable/disable operation.
Can the QS3VH245SOG safely interface 5V signals while powered from a 3.3V supply?
Yes - the QS3VH245SOG is explicitly rated for 5V-tolerant I/Os in both ON and OFF states, with absolute maximum ratings up to +5.5V on all A/B pins regardless of VCC voltage. This allows safe interfacing between 3.3V logic domains and 5V peripherals without level shifters. The QS3VH245SOG achieves this via N-channel FET architecture with no parasitic diode to VCC, confirmed in its functional description and absolute maximum ratings table.
What package type does QS3VH245SOG use, and is it RoHS compliant?
The QS3VH245SOG uses a 20-pin SOIC package with green (lead-free, halogen-free) finish, indicated by the "SOG" suffix per IDT/Renesas ordering nomenclature. It complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL-3). The QS3VH245SOG's SOIC footprint matches industry-standard 0.300-inch wide packages for drop-in compatibility with existing layouts.
How does the QS3VH245SOG achieve isolation during power-off conditions?
The QS3VH245SOG achieves true power-off isolation through its N-channel FET switch architecture with no parasitic diode to VCC. When VCC = 0V, all channels present >10⁹Ω impedance and leakage remains ≤±1μA across 0–5V terminal voltages - verified in DC electrical characteristics. This behavior is intrinsic to the QS3VH245SOG's process design and enables safe backplane hot-swap without risk of back-driving powered subsystems.
