Product details
Overview
STG3856QTR from STMicroelectronics is a high-speed CMOS dual SP3T analog switch with break-before-make operation, designed for low-voltage portable systems. It operates from 1.65 V to 4.3 V, delivers ≤1.0 Ω ON resistance at 4.3 V, achieves 0.3 ns typical propagation delay, and supports 100 MHz –3 dB bandwidth - enabling precision signal routing in USB 2.0, audio multiplexing, and sensor interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the STG3856QTR datasheet, STG3856QTR pinout, STG3856QTR application, or STG3856QTR equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed break-before-make timing (≥7 ns min), ultra-low ICC (≤0.2 µA max at 85°C), 4.3 V-tolerant control inputs, and QFN12L (2.2 × 1.4 mm) package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The STG3856 implements two independent single-pole triple-throw analog switches using silicon gate C2MOS technology, each controlled by dedicated IN pins (1IN/2IN) with L/H logic states defining connection paths between common D1/D2 and three selectable Sx ports. Its internal architecture enforces strict break-before-make timing (≥7 ns) to prevent signal shorting during state transitions.
All analog channels feature matched ON resistance (ΔRON ≤ 0.01 Ω), flat RON over full signal swing (RFLAT ≤ 0.35 Ω at 2.7 V), and high off-isolation (–82 dB at 100 kHz), ensuring minimal crosstalk and THD < 0.03% across 20 Hz–20 kHz audio band with 600 Ω load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 4.3 V single supply - enables direct integration with Li-ion battery, 1.8 V/3.3 V I/O, and mixed-voltage SoC interfaces |
| RON (max) | 1.0 Ω at VCC = 4.3 V - preserves signal integrity in low-impedance audio and data lines |
| tPD (typ) | 0.3 ns at VCC = 3.0 V - supports high-speed switching in USB 2.0 and DDR clock routing |
| OIRR | –82 dB at 100 kHz - prevents coupling between inactive channels in multi-sensor systems |
| ICC (max) | 0.2 µA at TA = 85°C - extends battery life in always-on wearable and IoT endpoints |
| Break-Before-Make Delay | 7 ns min at VCC = 3.6–4.3 V - eliminates transient shorts during channel reconfiguration |
| ESD Rating | HBM > 2 kV on analog channels - withstands handling and board-level ESD events without protection diodes |
Pinout & Package
STG3856QTR uses a 12-pin QFN package (2.2 mm × 1.4 mm, 0.4 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad (EP) for enhanced power dissipation in compact layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1IN, 2IN | Digital control inputs | CMOS-compatible logic pins selecting switch state (L/L = Hi-Z; H/L = D1–1S2/D2–2S2) |
| D1, D2 | Common analog inputs/outputs | Low-capacitance bidirectional ports connecting to SoC or codec I/O |
| 1S1–1S3, 2S1–2S3 | Analog switch outputs | Three independent destination paths per switch; RON match ≤ 0.01 Ω ensures balanced signal routing |
| VCC | Positive supply | Single rail powering both logic and analog sections; tolerant to 5.5 V absolute max |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for analog signals and digital control; decoupling required near pin 5 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Break-before-make timing | Guaranteed ≥7 ns minimum delay prevents momentary short-circuit between source paths during switching |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 0.2 µA max at 85°C enables use in battery-backed always-on sensor hubs without runtime penalty |
| 4.3 V-tolerant control inputs | Accepts 1.8 V logic while powered from 2.3–4.3 V rails - simplifies level-shifting in mixed-voltage designs |
| High off-isolation | –82 dB at 100 kHz ensures minimal leakage from active to inactive channels in multi-source systems |
| Low charge injection | 55 pC max at 4.3 V minimizes voltage glitch on sensitive nodes like ADC references or op-amp inputs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual SP3T analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TMUX136IRUKR | Higher RON (1.8 Ω typ at 3.3 V), no break-before-make guarantee, 1.2 V min VCC | Lacks BMB timing control - unsuitable where channel shorting must be avoided | Select only if lowest VCC operation (1.2 V) is critical and BMB is not required |
| ADG732BRUZ | 32-channel single-pole, higher ICC (1 µA max), no QFN12L package, 5 V max VCC | Designed for high-channel-count industrial muxing, not portable low-power use | Choose when scaling beyond dual SP3T or requiring SPI control instead of parallel logic |
Compared with TMUX136IRUKR and ADG732BRUZ, STG3856QTR uniquely combines guaranteed break-before-make timing, sub-1 Ω RON at 4.3 V, and 0.2 µA max ICC - making it optimal for battery-powered USB/audio systems where signal integrity and power efficiency are jointly constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable analog signal swing for STG3856QTR?
The STG3856QTR supports analog signals from GND to VCC. With VCC rated up to 4.3 V, the full signal range is 0 V to 4.3 V. Absolute maximum ratings allow –0.5 V to VCC + 0.5 V transient excursions, but sustained operation outside 0–VCC may degrade RON flatness or increase leakage.
Does STG3856QTR require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on 1IN/2IN?
No. The 1IN and 2IN pins have CMOS-compatible input thresholds (VIH ≥ 0.65×VCC, VIL ≤ 0.4×VCC) and negligible input leakage (±0.1 µA). Direct connection to FPGA or MCU GPIOs is sufficient; external biasing adds unnecessary node capacitance and degrades tPLH/tPHL.
Can STG3856QTR be used in bidirectional signal paths?
Yes. All analog terminals (D1, D2, 1S1–1S3, 2S1–2S3) are fully bidirectional with symmetrical RON and capacitance. The device passes signals equally well from D→S or S→D, supporting applications like USB 2.0 differential pair routing and audio loopback paths.
Is the exposed thermal pad (EP) on QFN12L electrically connected?
No. The exposed pad is internally unconnected and intended solely for mechanical anchoring and thermal conduction to the PCB. It must be soldered to a solid copper pour tied to GND for optimal thermal performance, but no electrical connection to any internal node is made.
