Product details
Overview
ST3DV520QTR from STMicroelectronics is a 16-to-8-bit bidirectional analog multiplexer/demultiplexer switch with 5.5 Ω typical RON, 450 MHz -3 dB bandwidth, and 250 ps propagation delay. It operates from 3.0–3.6 V, supports HD analog video routing, and features HI-Z off-state for unselected paths.
For engineers reviewing the ST3DV520QTR datasheet, ST3DV520QTR pinout, ST3DV520QTR application, or ST3DV520QTR equivalent, key selection criteria include channel count (16:8), crosstalk (-40 dB @ 250 MHz), bit-to-bit skew (200 ps), and QFN56 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The ST3DV520 implements a dual-bus analog MUX/DEMUX architecture with a single SEL control line selecting between two 8-bit output buses (A0–H0 or A1–H1). Each of the eight input channels (A–H) routes bidirectionally to either bus under logic-level control.
Its low 7.5 pF typical channel-on capacitance and near-zero propagation delay enable preservation of signal integrity in high-speed analog video paths. The device achieves <40 dB crosstalk at 250 MHz and maintains ≤1 Ω ΔRON matching across all channels under 3.0–3.6 V operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RON | 5.5 Ω typical - ensures minimal voltage drop and insertion loss in analog signal paths |
| BW (–3 dB) | 450 MHz typical - supports full-bandwidth HD video (e.g., 1080p RGB) without attenuation |
| Crosstalk | –40 dB @ 250 MHz - prevents interference between adjacent channels in dense video routing |
| Propagation delay | 250 ps typical - enables precise timing alignment across multi-channel analog systems |
| Bit-to-bit skew | 200 ps typical - maintains phase coherence across parallel video data lanes |
| VCC range | 3.0–3.6 V - compatible with standard 3.3 V LVTTL logic and low-noise analog supply rails |
| ICC (quiescent) | 20 µA typical - minimizes standby power in always-on video switching nodes |
Pinout & Package
ST3DV520QTR is housed in a lead-free QFN56 (11 × 5 mm) package with exposed thermal pad, optimized for thermal dissipation and high-frequency signal integrity in compact HD video modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A–H | 8-bit bidirectional analog input bus | Primary signal source/sink ports; support differential or single-ended analog video signals |
| A0–H0 | 8-bit multiplexed output bus 0 | Selected output path when SEL = L; routed from A–H with HI-Z on A1–H1 |
| A1–H1 | 8-bit multiplexed output bus 1 | Selected output path when SEL = H; routed from A–H with HI-Z on A0–H0 |
| SEL | Bus selection control input | Active-high logic selects A0–H0 (SEL=L) or A1–H1 (SEL=H); TTL-compatible threshold |
| VCC (pins 4,10,18,27,38,50,56) | Power supply | Decoupling required at each pin; shared 3.3 V rail for analog and digital sections |
| GND (pins 1,6,9,13,16,21,24,28,33,39,44,49,53,55) | Ground reference | Multiple low-inductance ground connections minimize return-path impedance and EMI |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low RON flatness | 0.8 Ω max variation - ensures uniform gain and DC offset across all 16 channels |
| Channel isolation (OIRR) | –36 dB @ 250 MHz - suppresses leakage from active to inactive output buses |
| Input capacitance | 2–3 pF typical - reduces loading on upstream drivers and preserves rise/fall times |
| ESD robustness | >2 kV HBM - protects against handling damage during board assembly and field service |
| Off-state leakage | ±5 µA max - prevents signal bleed-through when switches are disabled |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TS3DV642AIZQER | 64-channel, 3.3 V, 6 GHz bandwidth, but larger QFN80 package and higher ICC (1 mA) | Targeted at PCIe Gen4/USB3.2 signal switching, not optimized for analog video crosstalk | Choose only if >1 GHz bandwidth and digital protocol compliance are required over analog fidelity |
| ADG774ABRSZ-REEL | Quad SPDT, 3.3 V, 300 MHz BW, 4.5 Ω RON, SOIC-20 package | Limited to 4×2 switching; lacks 16:8 bus architecture and sub-ns timing specs | Acceptable for low-channel-count analog routing where footprint and cost outweigh performance needs |
Compared with TS3DV642AIZQER and ADG774ABRSZ-REEL, ST3DV520QTR uniquely balances 16:8 bus scalability, 450 MHz analog bandwidth, and –40 dB crosstalk in a compact QFN56 - making it optimal for HD video MUX/DEMUX where channel density and signal purity are co-critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by ST3DV520QTR?
The ST3DV520QTR delivers a typical –3 dB bandwidth of 450 MHz, verified under 100 Ω load conditions per datasheet Table 8. This enables full support for 1080p60 analog video signals with preserved edge fidelity and minimal group delay distortion across the entire channel set.
Does ST3DV520QTR support bidirectional signal flow?
Yes - the ST3DV520QTR is fully bidirectional: any of the A–H pins can serve as input or output depending on system configuration. Signal direction is determined by external source/sink placement, not internal architecture, and RON and capacitance specs apply equally in both directions.
How does the SEL pin control bus routing?
The SEL pin is a single logic input that determines output bus selection: when SEL = LOW, signals from A–H route to A0–H0 while A1–H1 enter HI-Z; when SEL = HIGH, routing shifts to A1–H1 with A0–H0 in HI-Z. No additional address decoding is required.
Is ST3DV520QTR still in active production?
ST3DV520QTR is marked "Obsolete Product(s)" in its official datasheet (Doc ID 15092 Rev 3), but Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory and offers extended lifecycle support including obsolescence forecasting, cross-reference assistance, and last-time-buy planning for qualified industrial customers.
