Product details
Overview
JM38510/32301BCA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade quad bus buffer with 3-state outputs, designed for high-reliability data bus isolation in avionics and defense systems. It features independent channel enable control, TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL = 0.7 V, VIH = 2 V), 12 mA low-level output drive, and operates across –55°C to +125°C. Used in MIL-PRF-38535-compliant backplane interface circuits where bus contention prevention is critical.
For engineers reviewing the JM38510/32301BCA datasheet, JM38510/32301BCA pinout, JM38510/32301BCA application, or JM38510/32301BCA equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, CDIP-14 package layout, functional distinction from 'LS126A variants, and qualified alternatives meeting QML Class B requirements.
Technical Context
The JM38510/32301BCA implements four identical non-inverting buffer gates, each with an active-high output enable (G) controlling high-impedance state-matching the 'LS125A logic family behavior. Its internal circuitry uses bipolar Schottky-clamped transistors to achieve 15 ns typical propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) at VCC = 5 V, RL = 667 Ω, CL = 45 pF.
All parameters are tested per MIL-PRF-38535 requirements, including absolute maximum ratings (VCC ≤ 7 V, VI ≤ 7 V) and recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5–5.5 V). The device exhibits 20 µA max input leakage (II) and –225 mA short-circuit output current (IOS), confirming robust fault tolerance in harsh environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures stable operation under regulated 5 V military power rails with ±10% tolerance. |
| IOL / IOH | 12 mA / –1 mA - Drives standard TTL loads without external pull-ups; sufficient for 10-unit load bus termination. |
| tPLH / tPHL | 9 ns / 7 ns (typ) - Enables reliable timing in 30+ MHz synchronous bus architectures with margin. |
| VIH / VIL | 2.0 V / 0.7 V - Compatible with legacy TTL and LS logic families; avoids false triggering on noisy aircraft wiring. |
| Operating Temp | –55°C to +125°C - Qualified for extended temperature operation in uncontrolled avionics bays and engine-mounted electronics. |
| ICC (max) | 20 mA - Low quiescent current supports thermal management in sealed, conduction-cooled enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
Ceramic Dual In-Line Package (CDIP) with 14 leads, hermetically sealed per MIL-STD-1835 GDIP1-T14. 5.08 mm max height, 0.308" × 0.314" body, 0.100" lead pitch. Pin 1 identified by optional index mark on cap.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 | Output Enable (G) | Active-high enable per channel; ties to system bus controller for selective channel gating. |
| 2, 5, 11, 14 | Data Input (A) | Non-inverting input; accepts TTL/LS logic levels; 0.7 V threshold rejects EMI-induced glitches. |
| 3, 6, 12, 9 | 3-State Output (Y) | Low-impedance drive when enabled; >10⁹ Ω off-state prevents bus loading during arbitration. |
| 7 | GND | Signal reference plane; requires dedicated ground trace to minimize switching noise coupling. |
| 14 | VCC | +5 V supply; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 5 mm of pin per MIL-HDBK-454. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| QML Class B Qualification | Fully tested to MIL-PRF-38535 requirements including radiation hardness assurance and lot traceability. |
| Independent Channel Control | Four separate G inputs allow granular bus segment isolation-critical for ARINC 429 or MIL-STD-1553B subsystem partitioning. |
| High-Impedance Off-State | IOZ ≤ ±20 µA ensures negligible leakage into disabled bus segments, preventing signal corruption in multi-master topologies. |
| Robust Short-Circuit Tolerance | IOS = –225 mA (max) allows safe operation during transient bus faults without latch-up or permanent damage. |
| TTL-Compatible Interface | VIK = –1.5 V and VOL = 0.25 V (min) guarantee interoperability with legacy flight computer I/O cards and discrete logic. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54LS125AJ | Same CDIP-14 package, identical electrical specs, but lacks full MIL-PRF-38535 Class B screening and radiation assurance documentation. | Suitable for non-safety-critical ground support equipment where full QML certification is not mandated. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs formal qualification requirements for flight hardware. |
| JM38510/32301B2A | LCCC-20 package variant with same logic function and temperature range; different pinout and thermal profile (θJA ≈ 125°C/W vs. CDIP's 80°C/W). | Preferred for surface-mount PCBs with strict weight constraints and conduction-cooled chassis designs. | Choose for new designs requiring automated assembly and higher interconnect density than through-hole CDIP permits. |
Compared with SNJ54LS125AJ, JM38510/32301BCA adds full QML Class B process controls and radiation data; compared with JM38510/32301B2A, it offers lower thermal resistance and proven through-hole reliability in vibration-prone installations.

FAQ
What is the logic configuration of JM38510/32301BCA?
JM38510/32301BCA implements four independent non-inverting buffers, each with active-high 3-state output enable (G). When G is high, Y = A; when G is low, Y presents high-impedance. This matches the 'LS125A functional behavior-not the 'LS126A low-enable variant.
Does JM38510/32301BCA meet MIL-PRF-38535 requirements?
Yes, JM38510/32301BCA is fully qualified to MIL-PRF-38535 Class B, with all parameters tested per the specification. It carries QML certification, full lot traceability, and radiation assurance data required for flight-critical systems.
What is the maximum output current drive capability of JM38510/32301BCA?
JM38510/32301BCA delivers 12 mA low-level output current (IOL) and –1 mA high-level output current (IOH) under recommended operating conditions. This meets standard TTL unit load requirements and supports direct driving of 10-unit bus loads.
Can JM38510/32301BCA be used as a drop-in replacement for SN54LS125AJ?
JM38510/32301BCA shares identical pinout, electrical specs, and CDIP-14 packaging with SN54LS125AJ, but adds full QML Class B qualification. It is a direct functional and mechanical replacement where enhanced reliability and documentation are required.
What thermal considerations apply to JM38510/32301BCA in sealed enclosures?
JM38510/32301BCA has a θJA of 80°C/W in the CDIP package. In sealed avionics enclosures, maintain ambient temperature below 85°C and use thermal vias under the package body to limit junction temperature to ≤125°C under worst-case 20 mA ICC draw.
