Product details
Overview
JM38510/31402B2A from Texas Instruments is a military-grade dual monostable multivibrator (one-shot) with TTL-compatible inputs and outputs, operating over −55°C to 125°C. It features independent negative- and positive-transition-triggered inputs per channel, overriding clear functionality, Schmitt-trigger B-inputs for jitter-free triggering down to 1 V/s, and external Rext/Cext-programmable pulse widths from 35 ns to 7.5 ms. It is used in precision timing, pulse shaping, and reset generation in aerospace avionics and hardened instrumentation systems.
For engineers reviewing the JM38510/31402B2A datasheet, JM38510/31402B2A pinout, JM38510/31402B2A application, or JM38510/31402B2A equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed operation across full military temperature range, TTL-level compatibility with legacy logic families, Schmitt-trigger noise immunity on B inputs, precise pulse-width stability (<±0.5% unit-to-unit variation), and LCCC-20 package suitability for high-reliability PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The JM38510/31402B2A implements two independent TTL-compatible monostable multivibrators sharing no internal coupling. Each channel uses a latch-based architecture with separate A (negative-edge) and B (positive-edge/Schmitt) trigger inputs, plus an overriding active-low CLR that forces Q low regardless of input state. Pulse width is defined solely by external Rext and Cext values via tw ≈ 0.7 × RextCext, with no dependence on VCC or temperature due to internal compensation.
Input structure includes 4 kΩ nominal A-input resistance and 2 kΩ nominal B/CLR resistance for standard TTL drive compatibility. Output stages provide 16 mA sink capability and −800 µA source capability at VCC = 5 V, with rise/fall times independent of pulse length. The device is fully compatible with SN54221 electrical and switching characteristics, and pinout matches SN54123/SN54LS123.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar monostable multivibrator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54221J | Same SN54221 electrical specs and CDIP-16 package; lacks LCCC-20 mechanical ruggedness and thermal performance. | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy board reuse where LCCC assembly is unavailable. | Select SNJ54221J only if CDIP-16 footprint and manual soldering are acceptable; avoid for vibration-prone or high-density layouts. |
| SNJ54LS221FK | Lower power (ICC = 4.7–11 mA vs. 26–50 mA), slower max pulse (49 µs), reduced noise immunity (0.2 V hysteresis vs. 0.7 V). | Suitable for battery-powered subsystems where power efficiency outweighs timing precision and noise rejection. | Choose SNJ54LS221FK only when supply current <12 mA is mandatory and ±1% pulse stability is acceptable. |
Compared with SNJ54221J and SNJ54LS221FK, JM38510/31402B2A delivers superior mechanical robustness (LCCC-20), tighter pulse-width consistency (<±0.5%), and higher noise immunity-making it the sole choice for mission-critical timing where environmental stress and signal integrity are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended external timing resistance for JM38510/31402B2A?
The maximum recommended external timing resistance for JM38510/31402B2A is 30 kΩ, as specified in the SN54221 timing requirements table. Using Rext > 30 kΩ may degrade pulse-width stability and increase sensitivity to leakage currents, especially at high temperature. For designs requiring longer pulses, increase Cext within the 0–1000 µF range instead of exceeding Rext limits. JM38510/31402B2A maintains jitter-free operation only within this validated resistor range.
Does JM38510/31402B2A support retriggering during an active output pulse?
No, JM38510/31402B2A does not support retriggering during an active output pulse. Once triggered, the output remains active for the full duration determined by Rext and Cext, and subsequent A or B input transitions are ignored until the pulse completes or is terminated by the overriding clear (CLR) input. This non-retriggerable behavior is inherent to its latch-based monostable architecture and is confirmed in the FUNCTION TABLE and description text. JM38510/31402B2A must be used in applications where single-shot timing is required.
Can JM38510/31402B2A be substituted for SN54123 in existing designs?
Yes, JM38510/31402B2A can be substituted for SN54123 in systems not using retriggering, provided Rext and Cext values are adjusted and capacitor polarity is reversed, as explicitly stated in the datasheet. Pin assignments are identical, and electrical/switching characteristics are virtually identical. However, JM38510/31402B2A operates over −55°C to +125°C versus SN54123's −55°C to +125°C (same range), but with enhanced pulse stability and Schmitt-trigger noise immunity. JM38510/31402B2A is a drop-in replacement only for non-retriggering configurations.
What is the typical input hysteresis voltage for the B input of JM38510/31402B2A?
The typical input hysteresis voltage for the B input of JM38510/31402B2A is approximately 0.7 V, calculated as the difference between VT+ (1.55 V) and VT− (0.8 V) at minimum VCC, per the SN54221 electrical characteristics table. This hysteresis enables reliable jitter-free triggering from input signals with slew rates as low as 1 V/s and provides 1.2 V typical noise immunity. JM38510/31402B2A leverages this Schmitt-trigger behavior to reject EMI in high-noise military environments.
Is JM38510/31402B2A RoHS compliant?
No, JM38510/31402B2A is not RoHS compliant. As documented in the Package Option Addendum, its lead finish is SNPB (tin-lead), and RoHS status is marked "No". This reflects its qualification under MIL-PRF-38535 for military and aerospace applications where tin-lead solderability, thermal fatigue resistance, and proven field reliability take precedence over RoHS directives. JM38510/31402B2A is intended for use in exempted high-reliability systems where leaded finishes are permitted and required.
