Product details
Overview
JM38510/30906BEA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade quadruple 2-line to 1-line data selector/multiplexer IC operating across –55°C to +125°C, featuring TTL-compatible inputs and outputs, 16-pin CDIP (J) package, and dual enable control per section for independent channel gating in high-reliability digital logic systems.
For engineers reviewing the JM38510/30906BEA datasheet, JM38510/30906BEA pinout, JM38510/30906BEA application, or JM38510/30906BEA equivalent, this device supports deterministic signal routing in avionics data buses, radiation-tolerant test instrumentation, and legacy MIL-STD-1553 interface logic where quad-channel selectivity, wide temperature operation, and QML-38510 qualification are required.
Technical Context
The JM38510/30906BEA implements four independent 2:1 multiplexers in a single monolithic TTL circuit, each with separate data inputs (A/B), common output (Y), and dual active-low enable (G1/G2) pins enabling per-section output disable. It uses standard bipolar LS (low-power Schottky) transistor technology for balanced speed–power trade-off.
Its logic function conforms to the SN54LS257B family specification SDLS148 (Oct 1976, Rev Mar 1988), supporting fan-out of 10 LS-TTL loads, propagation delay of 15 ns typical at VCC = 5 V, and guaranteed noise margins of 0.4 V (high) and 0.4 V (low) under full military temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | Quadruple 2-line to 1-line data selector/multiplexer - enables four parallel 2:1 signal routing paths with independent gating. |
| Logic Family | TTL LS (Low-Power Schottky) - ensures compatibility with legacy 74LS logic families and predictable DC/AC behavior. |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended-range military and aerospace applications without derating. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - maintains stable operation across nominal 5 V rail tolerances in ruggedized power environments. |
| Propagation Delay | 15 ns typical (A/B to Y), 20 ns max - supports synchronous data switching up to ~33 MHz in critical timing paths. |
| Output Drive | IOH = –0.4 mA, IOL = 8 mA - sufficient to drive 10 LS-TTL loads directly without buffering in distributed logic networks. |
| Enable Logic | Active-low dual enable (G1, G2) per section - allows selective channel isolation while preserving other sections active. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin Ceramic Dual In-line Package (CDIP), Package Drawing J, hermetically sealed, lead finish unspecified (Call TI), MSL not applicable.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 4, 5, 9, 10, 12, 13 | Data Inputs (A₀–A₃, B₀–B₃) | Eight total data inputs - two per multiplexer section (A/B), routed to internal gates based on select state. |
| 3, 6, 11, 14 | Outputs (Y₀–Y₃) | Four independent buffered outputs - each reflects selected A or B input when corresponding G1/G2 are low. |
| 7, 15 | Ground (GND) / VCC | Pin 7 = GND, Pin 15 = VCC - standard dual-rail power configuration for 16-pin DIP logic devices. |
| 8 | Common Ground Reference | Pin 8 = GND - primary ground reference for all sections; no signal or control function. |
| 16 | VCC | Positive supply terminal - must be decoupled locally to suppress switching noise in high-density layouts. |
| 17–18 (N/A) | Not Applicable | No pins 17–18 - 16-pin package; numbering ends at Pin 16. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quadruple 2:1 multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54LS257BJ | Identical logic function, same CDIP-J package and military temperature range; differs only in device marking and ordering prefix. | No functional difference; both meet QML-38510 Class B, but SNJ54LS257BJ uses older TI part-numbering convention. | Select SNJ54LS257BJ if sourcing from legacy inventory or cross-referencing against historical procurement documents. |
| JM38510/07906BEA | Same LS logic family and pinout, but implements dual 4:1 multiplexers instead of quad 2:1 - different internal routing architecture and select-bit mapping. | Suitable for applications requiring fewer channels with wider input selection (e.g., 4-input priority encoding), not direct functional substitution. | Choose JM38510/07906BEA only when system-level logic requires 4:1 topology; verify truth table alignment before board-level reuse. |
Compared with SNJ54LS257BJ, JM38510/30906BEA offers identical electrical and mechanical specifications but updated documentation traceability under current QML-38510 revision cycles; JM38510/07906BEA serves distinct routing needs and cannot replace JM38510/30906BEA without redesigning select logic and signal grouping.

FAQ
What is the logic function of JM38510/30906BEA?
JM38510/30906BEA implements four independent 2-line to 1-line data selectors/multiplexers, each with two data inputs (A/B), one output (Y), and dual active-low enable controls (G1/G2). Its truth table matches the SN54LS257B specification per SDLS148, delivering deterministic signal routing without internal latching or clocking. The device operates strictly combinatorially, making JM38510/30906BEA ideal for static and dynamic data path selection in synchronous digital systems.
Is JM38510/30906BEA pin-compatible with commercial SN74LS257B variants?
No, JM38510/30906BEA is not pin-compatible with commercial SN74LS257B variants due to differing temperature range, packaging, and qualification level. While both share identical pin functions and logic behavior, JM38510/30906BEA uses a 16-pin CDIP (J) package rated for –55°C to +125°C and QML-38510 Class B screening, whereas SN74LS257B typically appears in plastic DIP (N) or SOIC (D) packages rated 0°C to +70°C. Physical layout reuse requires verifying footprint, thermal relief, and solder mask clearances.
Does JM38510/30906BEA support 3.3 V operation?
No, JM38510/30906BEA is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply operation and does not guarantee functionality at 3.3 V. Its TTL LS input thresholds (VIH min = 2.0 V, VIL max = 0.8 V) and output drive characteristics are optimized for 5 V rails. Attempting 3.3 V operation may result in marginal noise margins, increased propagation delay, or failure to meet fan-out requirements. For 3.3 V systems, consider modern 74LVC or 74ALVC logic families instead of JM38510/30906BEA.
What is the maximum clock/data rate supported by JM38510/30906BEA?
JM38510/30906BEA does not operate on a clock; it is a purely combinational multiplexer. Its usable data switching rate is limited by propagation delay (15 ns typical, 20 ns max) and transition time. Assuming clean edges and proper termination, reliable operation is achievable up to approximately 33 MHz for repetitive toggling, though setup/hold timing must be verified per application. For high-speed serial protocols, JM38510/30906BEA serves best in control-path or status-routing roles-not data-path serialization.
Where can I find the official datasheet for JM38510/30906BEA?
