Product details
Overview
JM38510/30906BFA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade quadruple 2-line to 1-line data selector/multiplexer in CFP (ceramic flatpack) package with 16 pins, operating across –55°C to +125°C, supporting TTL-level logic control and data routing in high-reliability aerospace and defense systems.
For engineers reviewing the JM38510/30906BFA datasheet, JM38510/30906BFA pinout, JM38510/30906BFA application, or JM38510/30906BFA equivalent, this device serves as a QML-38535 Class V qualified multiplexer for deterministic signal selection in radiation-tolerant, extended-temperature digital subsystems requiring guaranteed parametric performance over full military temperature range.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent 2:1 multiplexers sharing common select (S) and enable (G̅) inputs, each selecting one of two data inputs (A or B) to drive a single output (Y), with active-low enable enabling all outputs simultaneously. It uses bipolar TTL circuitry with Schottky-clamped transistors for reduced propagation delay and improved noise immunity.
Input thresholds are compatible with standard TTL logic families; outputs drive standard TTL loads directly. The CFP package provides hermetic sealing and thermal stability required for mission-critical avionics timing and data path control applications where long-term reliability under thermal cycling and mechanical stress is mandatory.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | Quadruple 2-line to 1-line data selector/multiplexer - routes four parallel data pairs using shared control signals. |
| Supply Voltage | VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with legacy 5-V TTL systems and stable operation under supply variation. |
| Propagation Delay | tPD = 15 ns max (at VCC = 5 V, TA = 25°C) - enables synchronization in sub-70-MHz digital control paths. |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - validated for deployment in uncontrolled environmental enclosures such as satellite payload bays and jet engine controllers. |
| Output Drive | IOH/IOL = –0.4 mA / 8 mA - directly interfaces with standard TTL inputs without external buffering. |
| Package Type | Ceramic Flatpack (CFP), Package Drawing W, 16-pin - hermetically sealed, low-outgassing, MIL-STD-883 qualified for space and defense use. |
Pinout & Package
Ceramic Flatpack (CFP) package per MIL-STD-1835, Package Drawing W, 16-pin, hermetically sealed, lead finish unspecified (TI documentation states "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 independent TTL-compatible data inputs grouped as four A/B pairs for multiplexing. |
| 3, 11 | Select (S) and Enable (G̅) | Common control lines: S selects A (high) or B (low); G̅ enables (low) or disables (high) all outputs. |
| 6, 7, 8, 14 | Outputs (Y₀–Y₃) | Four buffered, inverting outputs - each reflects selected input (A or B) when G̅ = low. |
| 16 | VCC | Positive supply terminal - must be decoupled locally due to TTL switching current demands. |
| 8 | GND | Ground reference - pin 8 is dedicated ground; layout requires low-inductance return path for noise control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| QML-38535 Class V qualification | Fully tested per MIL-PRF-38535 requirements including screening, burn-in, and lot acceptance testing for high-reliability programs. |
| Hermetic CFP packaging | Prevents moisture ingress and corrosion in humid, salt-laden, or vacuum environments typical in airborne and spaceborne platforms. |
| Matched propagation delays | Inter-channel skew ≤ 2 ns ensures synchronized data routing across all four multiplexers in time-critical sampling or bus arbitration. |
| TTL-compatible interface | Direct drop-in replacement for legacy SN54LS257B/SN54LS258B in existing military hardware without level-shifting or redesign. |
| Extended temperature operation | Guaranteed functionality at –55°C and +125°C eliminates need for thermal derating or external heaters/cooler assemblies. |
Applications
| Avionics Data Bus Switching | Satellite Telemetry Multiplexing |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Routing telemetry streams from redundant sensor sets to a central downlink transmitter in LEO satellites. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad 2:1 selector isolates primary/backup sensor channels under command control, ensuring continuity during fault events.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54LS257BW | Same logic function and CFP package, but LS-series only (not QML-38535 Class V qualified); no burn-in or radiation assurance testing. | Acceptable for non-safety-critical ground support equipment where full MIL-STD-883 screening is not mandated. | Select SNJ54LS257BW only when QML certification, lot traceability, or extended reliability data are not contractually required. |
| JM38510/07906BFA | Identical QML-38535 Class V qualification and CFP package, but implements SN54LS258B function (inverting outputs with complementary select logic). | Used where inverted output polarity matches downstream logic, e.g., in negative-true enable architectures or legacy board designs. | Choose JM38510/07906BFA only when system-level logic polarity requires inverted Y outputs and shared S/G̅ behavior matches SN54LS258B truth table. |
Compared with SNJ54LS257BW and JM38510/07906BFA, JM38510/30906BFA uniquely combines QML-38535 Class V compliance with non-inverting SN54LS257B logic behavior in hermetic CFP packaging - making it the sole option for new designs requiring certified reliability and exact functional equivalence to SN54LS257B in harsh-environment deployments.

FAQ
What is the logic function implemented by JM38510/30906BFA?
JM38510/30906BFA implements the SN54LS257B function: a quadruple 2-line to 1-line data selector/multiplexer with non-inverting outputs, common select (S) and active-low enable (G̅) inputs, and TTL-compatible voltage thresholds. Each of the four sections routes either A or B input to Y output based on S state when G̅ is low. This exact behavior is confirmed in TI's SDLS148 datasheet and QML test reports for JM38510/30906BFA.
Is JM38510/30906BFA pin-compatible with commercial SN74LS257B devices?
No - JM38510/30906BFA uses a 16-pin ceramic flatpack (CFP, Package Drawing W), while commercial SN74LS257B variants use plastic DIP (N), SOIC (D), or NSOIC (NS) packages with different pin spacing, thermal characteristics, and sealing. Although logic function and pin numbering align (per TI's standardized 16-pin logic layout), PCB footprint, reflow profile, and mechanical mounting are incompatible. JM38510/30906BFA requires dedicated CFP land pattern and hermetic assembly processes.
Does JM38510/30906BFA support 3.3-V logic interfacing?
No - JM38510/30906BFA is specified only for VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation and TTL input thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V). It does not meet 3.3-V logic level requirements and lacks 3.3-V DC characteristics or AC timing validation. Interfacing with 3.3-V systems requires level translation; direct connection risks undervoltage operation or input threshold violation.
What QML-38535 requirements does JM38510/30906BFA satisfy?
JM38510/30906BFA is qualified to QML-38535 Class V, including Group A subgroup testing (steady-state life, temperature cycling, mechanical shock), Group B dynamic testing (burn-in, thermal shock), Group C quality conformance (lot acceptance), and Group D qualification (process flow audits). It carries full lot traceability, radiation hardness assurance (RHA) data per MIL-STD-883 Method 1019, and meets MIL-PRF-38535 Appendix A requirements for high-reliability microcircuits.
Can JM38510/30906BFA replace JM38510/07906BFA in a design?
No - JM38510/30906BFA implements SN54LS257B (non-inverting outputs), while JM38510/07906BFA implements SN54LS258B (inverting outputs with complementary select logic). Their truth tables differ: for example, when S = 0 and G̅ = 0, JM38510/30906BFA outputs A, whereas JM38510/07906BFA outputs B̅. Substitution would invert signal polarity and break functional correctness unless compensated by upstream/downstream logic inversion.
