Product details
Overview
JM38510/12903BPA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade dual peripheral NOR driver IC designed for high-current, high-speed switching in TTL-based systems. It delivers 300 mA per channel, supports up to 30 V output voltage, operates across –55°C to 125°C, and features open-collector outputs with diode-clamped TTL-compatible inputs - used in ruggedized lamp, LED, and line driving applications.
For engineers reviewing the JM38510/12903BPA datasheet, JM38510/12903BPA pinout, JM38510/12903BPA application, or JM38510/12903BPA equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed latch-up immunity at 20 V after 300 mA conduction, propagation delay under 35 ns at 25°C, and CDIP-8 packaging qualified for aerospace and defense environments.
Technical Context
The JM38510/12903BPA implements dual independent NOR logic gates whose outputs drive NPN transistor stages with open-collector configuration. Each channel accepts TTL-level inputs (VIH = 2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) and sinks up to 300 mA continuously while maintaining VOL ≤ 0.8 V at that load.
Its internal structure includes input clamping diodes, base-emitter resistors (4 kΩ nominal), and emitter-follower output stages optimized for fast turn-off. The device is characterized for full military temperature range operation and exhibits no output latch-up when subjected to 20 V off-state voltage after conducting rated current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Dual NOR gate with integrated high-current NPN output transistors |
| Output Current (Continuous) | 300 mA per channel - sufficient to directly drive lamps, relays, or LEDs without external buffering |
| Max Output Voltage | 30 V - enables direct interface with 24 V industrial loads and legacy bus systems |
| Propagation Delay | 27–35 ns (tPLH/tPHL) at VCC = 5 V, TA = 25°C - supports high-speed digital control timing |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for MIL-PRF-38535 Class B and space-level applications |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-compatible with diode-clamped inputs - eliminates need for external level-shifting or pull-ups |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - tightly regulated for stable logic threshold behavior in avionics power domains |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin Ceramic Dual In-line Package (CDIP), body size 9.60 mm × 6.67 mm, hermetically sealed for high-reliability military use.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A | Channel 1 NOR Input A | TTL-level logic input; must be terminated to GND or VCC if unused to prevent floating states |
| 1B | Channel 1 NOR Input B | Second TTL-level input for NOR function; internally wired to gate base of Q1 |
| 1Y | Channel 1 Open-Collector Output | Sinks current to GND when both inputs low; requires external pull-up for logic HIGH |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for logic and output current; critical for noise immunity in mixed-signal boards |
| VCC | Positive Supply | 5 V ±5% supply input; bypass capacitor (0.1 µF) required adjacent to pin for transient suppression |
| 2A | Channel 2 NOR Input A | Independent second NOR input; electrically isolated from Channel 1 except shared VCC/GND |
| 2B | Channel 2 NOR Input B | Second input for Channel 2; identical electrical specs to 1A/1B |
| 2Y | Channel 2 Open-Collector Output | Functionally identical to 1Y; supports independent high-side load switching per channel |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No latch-up at 20 V | Guaranteed immunity to destructive latch-up after conducting 300 mA - eliminates system reset risk during fault conditions |

FAQ
What logic function does the JM38510/12903BPA implement?
The JM38510/12903BPA implements dual independent NOR gates, each driving an open-collector NPN output stage. When both inputs (1A and 1B or 2A and 2B) are logic low, the corresponding output (1Y or 2Y) pulls to GND; all other input combinations result in high-impedance output state. This behavior is confirmed in Table 4 of the SLRS021D datasheet.
Does the JM38510/12903BPA require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
Yes, the JM38510/12903BPA has open-collector outputs and requires external pull-up resistors to define the HIGH logic level and supply current to the load. Typical values range from 1 kΩ to 10 kΩ depending on load voltage and speed requirements. The datasheet Figure 18 shows explicit use of pull-ups in application circuits.
What is the maximum continuous output current rating for the JM38510/12903BPA?
The JM38510/12903BPA is characterized for 300 mA continuous collector current per channel under recommended operating conditions. Absolute maximum ratings allow 400 mA continuous, but design practice limits to 300 mA to maintain VOL ≤ 0.8 V and ensure long-term reliability across the full temperature range.
Is the JM38510/12903BPA pin-compatible with commercial-grade SN75454B variants?
No - while JM38510/12903BPA shares identical pinout and logic function with SN75454B, it uses a CDIP-8 package with different mechanical dimensions (9.60 mm × 6.67 mm vs. SOIC/PDIP variants) and is not drop-in compatible with surface-mount footprints. Board redesign is required for substitution.
What temperature range is the JM38510/12903BPA qualified for?
The JM38510/12903BPA is fully characterized and screened for operation from –55°C to +125°C, meeting MIL-PRF-38535 Class B requirements. This qualification is explicitly stated in the Device Comparison Table and Absolute Maximum Ratings section of the SLRS021D datasheet.
