Product details
Overview
JM38510/32803BRA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional data transfer between A and B buses in harsh-environment systems. It features DIR-controlled direction (A↔B), active-low OE for high-impedance isolation, 8 ns typical propagation delay, ±12 mA output drive, and operates across –55°C to +125°C. Used in avionics backplanes and radiation-tolerant instrumentation where bus isolation and deterministic timing are critical.
For engineers reviewing the JM38510/32803BRA datasheet, JM38510/32803BRA pinout, JM38510/32803BRA application, or JM38510/32803BRA equivalent, this page delivers verified military-spec parameters, CDIP-20 package mapping, functional mode truth table, noise-immune hysteresis inputs, and direct alternatives compliant with MIL-PRF-38535 Class B screening.
Technical Context
The JM38510/32803BRA implements Schottky transistor logic (STTL) with PNP input stages that reduce DC loading on shared bus lines. Its bus-side inputs include built-in hysteresis (0.2–0.4 V) to improve noise margins in electrically noisy platforms such as aircraft control bays and ground vehicle ECUs.
Direction control is implemented via a single DIR pin that selects A→B (DIR = HIGH) or B→A (DIR = LOW); simultaneous bidirectional operation is not supported. Output enable (OE) is active-low and places all eight channels into high-impedance state when asserted, fully isolating A and B buses without leakage path.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | LS-TTL (Low-power Schottky), compatible with standard 5-V TTL logic families and interfaces |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - supports stable operation under MIL-STD-704A power bus ripple and transient conditions |
| Propagation Delay | 8 ns typical (tPLH/tPHL) - enables reliable 10 MHz+ synchronous bus communication with margin |
| Output Drive | ±12 mA (IOL/IOH) - sufficient to drive 50-cm ribbon cables or unterminated backplane stubs |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 Class B for extended life in sealed avionics enclosures |
| Input Hysteresis | 0.2–0.4 V (VT+ − VT−) - rejects common-mode noise up to ±200 mV on A/B bus lines |
| ESD Rating | ±2500 V HBM - meets MIL-STD-883 Method 3015.7 for handling in non-ESD-controlled environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: 20-pin Ceramic Dual In-line Package (CDIP), body size 24.20 mm × 6.92 mm, hermetically sealed, lead finish SNPB (tin-lead), RoHS-exempt, MSL N/A.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | DIR | Direction control input: HIGH enables A→B data flow; LOW enables B→A data flow |
| 2–9 | A1–A8 | Bi-directional I/O pins for A-side bus - function as input or output depending on DIR state |
| 10 | GND | Signal reference ground - must be connected to system chassis ground for EMI suppression |
| 11–18 | B8–B1 | Bi-directional I/O pins for B-side bus - mirrored channel order (B8 to B1) per JEDEC pinout convention |
| 19 | OE | Active-low output enable: LOW enables transceiver; HIGH forces all A/B pins to high-impedance |
| 20 | VCC | +5 V supply - requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed ≤2 mm from pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 3-State Outputs | Full bus isolation with <1 µA off-state leakage (IOZL/IOZH) - prevents contention during hot-swap or fault recovery |
| PNP Input Structure | Reduces input DC loading to ≤0.1 mA per pin - preserves signal integrity on long, lightly terminated buses |
| Hysteresis at Bus Inputs | 0.2–0.4 V threshold window - eliminates chatter on slow-rising edges in noisy 28 VDC aircraft power environments |
| MIL-PRF-38535 Compliance | Class B screening including burn-in, temperature cycling, and parametric testing - ensures reliability in safety-critical flight systems |
| Bus Contention Protection | Short-circuit output current limited to –40 to –225 mA - prevents latch-up during momentary A/B bus misalignment |
Applications
| Avionics Data Backplane | Ground Vehicle Control Unit |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54LS245J | Identical electrical specs and CDIP-20 package; screened to MIL-PRF-38535 Class S (not Class B), with tighter parametric limits and full lot traceability | Required for DoD programs mandating Class S qualification; higher cost and longer lead times | Select SNJ54LS245J only when Class S compliance is contractually required; otherwise JM38510/32803BRA satisfies Class B needs |
| 5962-8002101VSA | CFP-20 package (7.02 mm × 13.72 mm), same –55°C to +125°C range, identical logic function, but different thermal resistance (RθJA = N/A) and mounting footprint | Suitable for space-constrained PCBs where CDIP height exceeds mechanical envelope; requires rework of keep-out and solder stencil | Choose 5962-8002101VSA only when board real estate or thermal path constraints prohibit CDIP use; no electrical redesign needed |
Compared with SNJ54LS245J, JM38510/32803BRA offers Class B qualification at lower cost and shorter lead time; compared with 5962-8002101VSA, it provides proven mechanical compatibility with legacy avionics CDIP footprints while maintaining identical timing and drive performance.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the JM38510/32803BRA?
The JM38510/32803BRA is rated for continuous operation from –55°C to +125°C, validated per MIL-PRF-38535 Class B screening requirements. This range covers extreme environmental conditions found in jet engine bays, desert-deployed vehicles, and cryogenic test chambers. All electrical specifications-including propagation delay, output drive, and input thresholds-are guaranteed across this full range.
Does the JM38510/32803BRA support bidirectional data flow simultaneously?
No, the JM38510/32803BRA does not support simultaneous bidirectional operation. Data flows either from A bus to B bus (DIR = HIGH) or from B bus to A bus (DIR = LOW), as defined by the single direction-control pin. Both directions cannot be active at once; attempting concurrent use may cause bus contention and exceed absolute maximum ratings.
What is the purpose of the hysteresis on the A and B bus inputs of the JM38510/32803BRA?
The hysteresis (0.2–0.4 V) on the JM38510/32803BRA's A and B inputs increases noise immunity by creating distinct high- and low-threshold voltages (VT+ and VT−). This prevents false triggering from EMI-induced voltage fluctuations-critical in avionics and military comms where radiated emissions can exceed 200 mV peak-to-peak on shared bus lines.
Can the JM38510/32803BRA be used as a direct replacement for commercial SN74LS245 devices?
No, the JM38510/32803BRA is not a drop-in replacement for commercial SN74LS245 variants. While functionally identical, it uses a CDIP-20 package with SNPB leads, operates across –55°C to +125°C, and undergoes MIL-PRF-38535 Class B screening. Substituting it into a commercial design requires validation of thermal, mechanical, and reliability margins-not just logic compatibility.
How does the OE pin function in the JM38510/32803BRA?
The OE (output enable) pin on the JM38510/32803BRA is active-low: when OE = LOW, all eight transceiver channels operate normally based on DIR state; when OE = HIGH, all A and B pins enter high-impedance state (<1 µA leakage), effectively isolating both buses. This enables safe hot-swap, power sequencing, and fault containment in multi-node systems.
