Product details
Overview
QS3VH862QG8 from Renesas Electronics (formerly IDT) is a 10-bit high-bandwidth bus switch with independent active-high (BE) and active-low (BE) enables, designed for hot-swap and high-speed data path isolation in industrial communications systems. It features 4Ω typical ON resistance, <0.2ns propagation delay, 5V-tolerant I/Os, rail-to-rail analog switching (0–5V), and operation from 2.3V to 3.6V VCC.
For engineers reviewing the QS3VH862QG8 datasheet, QS3VH862QG8 pinout, QS3VH862QG8 application, or QS3VH862QG8 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional low-distortion signal routing, power-off isolation capability, undershoot clamp diodes on all I/Os, and compatibility with LVTTL control logic in Ethernet LAN switches and ATM systems.
Technical Context
The QS3VH862QG8 implements N-channel FET bus switches without parasitic diodes to VCC, enabling true isolation during power-off and eliminating DC paths to VCC or GND. Its dual enable architecture allows flexible bus gating: BE asserts high to connect A↔B channels, while BE asserts low for the same function-both independently disable all 10 channels into high-impedance state.
With 4pF typical I/O capacitance (OFF), flat RON over voltage range, and 500MHz bandwidth, it supports fast edge integrity in 10/100Base-T Ethernet physical layer interfaces and live-insertion backplane applications. The device meets industrial temperature requirements (−40°C to +85°C) and guarantees tPLH/tPHL ≤ 0.2ns under load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3V to 3.6V - supports both 2.5V and 3.3V logic domains without level shifters |
| RON (Typ.) | 4Ω at VCC = 3V, VIN = 0V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and voltage drop across switched paths |
| Propagation Delay | <0.2ns - contributes negligible timing skew in high-speed parallel bus or differential pair routing |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | −0.5V to +5.5V - enables safe interfacing with 5V signals while powered from 3.3V supply |
| Bandwidth | Up to 500MHz - preserves signal integrity for Fast Ethernet (100Mbps) and ATM 155Mbps applications |
| Off-State Leakage | ±1μA max - maintains high channel isolation when disabled, critical for hot-swap reliability |
| Input Capacitance | 3pF (control), 4pF (I/O OFF) - minimizes loading on driving logic and preserves rise/fall times |
Pinout & Package
QS3VH862QG8 is housed in a 24-pin QSOP (Quarter-Size Outline Package) with 0.65mm lead pitch, optimized for space-constrained industrial PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BE | Active-HIGH Bus Enable | Drives all 10 A↔B channels ON when HIGH; no external pull-up required due to LVTTL-compatible input |
| BE | Active-LOW Bus Enable | Drives all 10 A↔B channels ON when LOW; provides redundant enable control for fail-safe system design |
| A0–A9 | Bus A Input/Output Terminals | Bidirectional analog/digital signal ports; 5V-tolerant, rail-to-rail capable, 4pF capacitance |
| B0–B9 | Bus B Input/Output Terminals | Matched impedance and timing to A-side; supports symmetric signal routing in backplane or card-edge interfaces |
| VCC | Positive Supply | 2.3V–3.6V digital core supply; powers internal logic and gate drivers only-not connected to signal path |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return for control logic and switch substrate; isolated from signal ground by FET structure |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No parasitic diode to VCC | Enables full power-off isolation: zero DC path between A/B buses when VCC = 0V |
| Rail-to-rail switching | Supports 0–5V analog or digital signals without clipping, distortion, or level-shifting circuitry |
| Undershoot clamp diodes | Protects all 22 I/O and control pins against −3V transient undershoot, improving ESD robustness |
| Flat RON vs. VIN | Ensures consistent signal attenuation across full input voltage swing-critical for low-distortion analog muxing |
| RON matching between channels | Minimizes skew and crosstalk in parallel data buses; essential for synchronous multi-bit interfaces |
Applications
| Hot-Swappable Module Interface | Fast Ethernet LAN Switch Fabric |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT16212DGGR | 16-bit, single active-low enable only; 5Ω RON; 3.3V-only VCC (3.0–3.6V); no 5V tolerance on I/Os | Limited to 3.3V-only systems; lacks dual-enable flexibility and overvoltage protection for mixed-voltage backplanes | Choose when board-level voltage domain is strictly 3.3V and layout space permits larger 48-pin TSSOP package |
| PI3CHD1012LEX | 10-bit, single active-low enable; 3.5Ω RON; 2.5V/3.3V operation; 5V-tolerant I/Os; no undershoot clamps | Missing active-high enable and integrated undershoot protection-requires external TVS for robust hot-swap | Prefer where lowest RON is critical and system-level transient protection is already implemented externally |
Compared with SN74CBT16212DGGR and PI3CHD1012LEX, the QS3VH862QG8 uniquely combines dual-enable control, built-in undershoot clamps, and guaranteed 5V tolerance across all I/Os-making it the only option qualified for zero-downtime industrial hot-swap without supplemental protection circuitry.

FAQ
What is the maximum signal voltage the QS3VH862QG8 can pass while powered at 3.3V?
The QS3VH862QG8 supports rail-to-rail analog switching from 0V to 5V on its A and B terminals regardless of VCC voltage. When powered at 3.3V, it safely passes 5V signals in both ON and OFF states due to its 5V-tolerant I/O architecture and absence of parasitic diodes to VCC-enabling interoperability with legacy 5V peripherals without level shifters.
Does the QS3VH862QG8 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its BE and BE pins?
No, the QS3VH862QG8 does not require external biasing on BE or BE. Its control inputs are LVTTL-compatible with defined VIH (≥2.0V at VCC = 2.7–3.6V) and VIL (≤0.8V) thresholds, and internal input structures ensure reliable logic recognition without external resistors-reducing BOM count and PCB area in dense switch fabric designs.
How does the QS3VH862QG8 achieve power-off isolation?
The QS3VH862QG8 achieves true power-off isolation via N-channel FET switches with no parasitic diode to VCC. When VCC = 0V, the gate drive is inactive and the channel remains fully open-circuit-even with 5V applied to A or B terminals-ensuring zero DC current flow and preventing back-powering of failed or removed modules in hot-swap systems.
What is the significance of undershoot clamp diodes on all I/O pins of the QS3VH862QG8?
The undershoot clamp diodes on all 22 I/O and control pins limit negative transients to −3V (per Absolute Maximum Ratings), protecting internal circuitry during hot-insertion events where connector mating induces sub-0V spikes. This eliminates the need for external TVS devices in industrial and telecom chassis, simplifying layout and improving system-level ESD immunity without sacrificing bandwidth.
Can the QS3VH862QG8 be used in analog signal paths requiring low THD and flat frequency response?
Yes-the QS3VH862QG8 is specified for low-distortion analog switching: its 4Ω typical RON, flat RON vs. VIN curve, 4pF OFF capacitance, and rail-to-rail 0–5V operation collectively minimize harmonic distortion and amplitude variation across audio and sensor bandwidths. It is documented in applications including low-distortion analog multiplexing and replacement of mechanical relays in precision instrumentation.
