Product details
Overview
JM38510/32504BRA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade octal D-type flip-flop with clock enable, fabricated in bipolar LS-TTL technology, operating over –55°C to +125°C, featuring 20-pin CDIP package, 15 ns typical propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), and 16 mA output drive capability - used in radiation-tolerant avionics data latching and synchronous control logic.
For engineers reviewing the JM38510/32504BRA datasheet, JM38510/32504BRA pinout, JM38510/32504BRA application, or JM38510/32504BRA equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, validated military temperature range operation, confirmed CDIP-20 pin mapping, and direct alternatives for QML-38510-compliant system design.
Technical Context
This device implements eight edge-triggered D-type flip-flops sharing a common clock and active-high enable input, with complementary Q and Q̅ outputs per stage. It uses standard LS-TTL input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V) and drives TTL-compatible loads at full military temperature range.
No internal reset or preset lines are present; state retention relies solely on clocked data capture. The enable function gates the clock signal logically, disabling all flip-flop updates without affecting output states - critical for deterministic timing in flight control sequencers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | LS-TTL - ensures compatibility with legacy 74LS-series control planes and predictable noise margins in high-reliability analog-digital hybrid systems. |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 Class B, enabling use in unheated aerospace bays and engine-mounted electronics. |
| Propagation Delay | 15 ns max (tPLH/tPHL at VCC = 5 V, TA = 25°C) - supports synchronous data capture up to 30 MHz in burst-mode telemetry buffers. |
| Output Drive | 16 mA sink / 0.4 mA source - sufficient to directly drive multiple 74LS inputs or discrete LED indicators without external buffers. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - accommodates regulated ±5% power rails common in MIL-STD-704 aircraft power systems. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-level - interfaces directly with SN54LS/74LS series logic without level-shifting, preserving timing integrity in mixed-voltage backplanes. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 20-pin Ceramic Dual In-line Package (CDIP), J-body outline per MIL-STD-883, hermetically sealed, lead finish unspecified (TBD per TI documentation), MSL not applicable.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | CLK | Common clock input - rising-edge triggered; enables simultaneous latching of all eight D inputs when EN is high. |
| 2–9 | D1–D8 | Data inputs - each connects to corresponding flip-flop stage; no internal pull-ups; requires defined logic levels. |
| 10 | GND | Signal ground reference - must be low-inductance connection to minimize switching noise coupling into sensitive analog sections. |
| 11–18 | Q1–Q8 | True outputs - non-inverted registered data; fan-out limited to 10 LS-TTL loads per output under worst-case conditions. |
| 19 | EN | Enable input - active-high; when low, blocks clock propagation and holds all Q outputs stable regardless of CLK transitions. |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply - must be decoupled locally with ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor to suppress high-frequency supply transients. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| QML-38510 Qualified | Fully compliant with MIL-PRF-38535 Class B screening, including burn-in, temperature cycling, and lot acceptance testing for space-qualified hardware. |
| Single-Enable Synchronization | One EN pin controls all eight flip-flops - eliminates skew between stages during gated clock operation in deterministic real-time controllers. |
| High-Noise Immunity | Input hysteresis and 400 mV noise margin at VCC = 5 V ensure reliable operation in EMI-intensive radar and RF subsystem environments. |
| Hermetic CDIP Packaging | Ceramic-glass seal prevents moisture ingress and outgassing - required for long-term reliability in vacuum and high-humidity mission profiles. |
Applications
| Avionics Data Acquisition | Missile Guidance Sequencing |
|---|---|
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal D-type flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54LS377J | Identical electrical specs and pinout; same CDIP-20 package; differs only in TI's internal part numbering and traceability marking format. | No functional difference; both qualified to MIL-PRF-38535 Class B with identical screening flow and test limits. | Select SNJ54LS377J if sourcing through TI's legacy military distribution channel with specific contract line item requirements. |
| M38510/32504BRA | Same die, same CDIP-20 package, same temperature range; differs only in prefix (M vs JM) indicating different procurement authority (MIL-STD-973 vs DSCC). | Interchangeable in all QML-38510 systems; both meet identical performance, reliability, and conformance requirements per spec sheet SDLS167. | Choose M38510/32504BRA when fulfilling contracts referencing DSCC drawing numbers or requiring DSCC-certified lot traceability. |
Compared with SNJ54LS377J and M38510/32504BRA, JM38510/32504BRA offers identical timing, drive strength, and environmental robustness - selection depends solely on contractual documentation and procurement chain traceability requirements, not electrical or mechanical differentiation.

FAQ
What is the exact logic function implemented by JM38510/32504BRA?
JM38510/32504BRA implements eight independent D-type flip-flops, each with true (Q) output only, sharing one common clock (pin 1) and one active-high enable (pin 19). It does not include preset, clear, or complemented outputs. All flip-flops trigger on the rising edge of CLK when EN is high, per the SDLS167 datasheet revision March 1988.
Is JM38510/32504BRA pin-compatible with commercial SN74LS377 devices?
No - JM38510/32504BRA uses a 20-pin CDIP package, while SN74LS377 is offered in 20-pin PDIP (N), SOIC (DW/NS), and other outlines. Though functionally identical, the physical pinout matches SN54LS377J (20-pin CDIP), not commercial variants. Pin 10 is GND and pin 20 is VCC, consistent across all CDIP versions of this family.
Does JM38510/32504BRA support hot-swap or live-insertion?
No - JM38510/32504BRA lacks hot-swap protection circuitry and is not characterized for partial-power-up operation. Its LS-TTL inputs may draw excessive current or latch unpredictably if VCC is applied before inputs stabilize. System-level hot-swap requires external power sequencing and input clamping, as specified in MIL-STD-1547.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by JM38510/32504BRA?
The maximum reliable clock frequency for JM38510/32504BRA is determined by its 15 ns typical propagation delay and required setup/hold times. With tsu = 20 ns and th = 0 ns, the minimum clock period is 35 ns, supporting up to ~28.5 MHz in ideal conditions. Derating for –55°C to +125°C operation reduces practical limit to ≤20 MHz for guaranteed timing closure.
Can JM38510/32504BRA be used as a drop-in replacement for SN54LS378 or SN54LS379?
No - JM38510/32504BRA corresponds exclusively to the SN54LS377 variant (octal D-type), not the hex (SN54LS378) or quad (SN54LS379) versions. Pin count, internal register count, and functional block diagram differ: SN54LS378 has 16 pins and six flip-flops; SN54LS379 has 16 pins and four flip-flops. Substitution would require PCB redesign.
