Product details
Overview
JM38510/30701BFA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade 3-line-to-8-line decoder/demultiplexer IC in CFP (W) package with 16 pins, operating across –55°C to +125°C, featuring TTL-compatible inputs and outputs, active-low enable logic (G1, G2A, G2B), and complementary decoded outputs (Y0–Y7). It serves as a core address decoder in radiation-tolerant avionics control units and hardened data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the JM38510/30701BFA datasheet, JM38510/30701BFA pinout, JM38510/30701BFA application, or JM38510/30701BFA equivalent, this page delivers verified military-spec parametric data, validated pin functions, temperature-rated performance boundaries, and direct alternative part comparisons for high-reliability system design.
Technical Context
The JM38510/30701BFA implements standard TTL logic architecture with three binary address inputs (A0–A2), three enable inputs (G1 high-active, G2A/G2B low-active), and eight active-low decoded outputs (Y0–Y7). Its propagation delay is specified at 22 ns max (VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF, TA = –55°C to +125°C).
Designed per MIL-PRF-38535 Class B requirements, it supports dual-supply enable control and features guaranteed fan-out of 10 LS-TTL loads. Output drive capability is –0.4 mA (high) and 8 mA (low) under full military temperature range.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 3-to-8 decoder applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54LS138W | Identical pinout, same CFP (W) package, identical –55°C to +125°C rating, but lacks QML Class B certification documentation | Approved for non-certified military subsystems where full MIL-PRF-38535 traceability is not mandated | Select SNJ54LS138W only when formal qualification records are not required by program office |
| JM38510/30701BEA | Same functionality and temperature range, but in CDIP (J) package - through-hole mounting, larger footprint, lower thermal dissipation | Suitable for legacy board rework or prototyping where surface-mount CFP placement is unavailable | Choose JM38510/30701BEA when manual assembly, socketing, or thermal mass requirements favor DIP form factor |
Compared with SNJ54LS138W and JM38510/30701BEA, JM38510/30701BFA provides certified Class B conformance in a thermally superior CFP package, making it the sole option for new designs requiring full QML documentation and surface-mount reliability in high-vibration platforms.

FAQ
What is the full military specification compliance of JM38510/30701BFA?
JM38510/30701BFA is manufactured and tested to MIL-PRF-38535 Class B requirements, including screening for burn-in, temperature cycling, and hermeticity. It carries QML certification with full lot traceability, radiation hardness assurance (RHA) data available upon request, and conforms to SMD 5962-87549, the standard for 3-to-8 line decoders in military applications.
Does JM38510/30701BFA support hot-swap or live-insertion?
No, JM38510/30701BFA does not support hot-swap operation. Its CFP package and TTL input structure lack bus-hold or power-up/down protection circuitry. Power sequencing must ensure VCC is stable before applying input signals, and all enables must be held inactive during power transitions to prevent undefined output states.
Can JM38510/30701BFA be used as a demultiplexer in addition to decoding?
Yes, JM38510/30701BFA functions identically as both a 3-line-to-8-line decoder and a 1-line-to-8-line demultiplexer. When data is applied to an enable input (e.g., G1), and address bits A0–A2 select the output line, the device routes that signal to the corresponding active-low Yx output - a standard demux configuration confirmed in TI's SN54LS138 datasheet Section 8.3.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by JM38510/30701BFA in address decoding mode?
JM38510/30701BFA does not operate on a clock; it is combinational logic. Its usable switching rate is limited by propagation delay (22 ns max) and system setup/hold timing. In practice, it reliably supports address bus toggling up to 45 MHz in synchronous systems with proper PCB layout and termination, as verified in TI's application note SCBA010.
Is there a RoHS-compliant version of JM38510/30701BFA available?
No RoHS-compliant version of JM38510/30701BFA exists. The part uses SNPB (tin-lead) lead finish and is exempt from RoHS under EU Directive 2011/65/EU Annex III for aerospace and defense applications. TI does not offer a Pb-free variant of this specific military-qualified CFP part number.
