Product details
Overview
JM38510/33203BRA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade octal noninverting buffer/line driver with dual 4-bit sections, 3-state outputs, and separate active-low output-enable (OE) inputs. It operates across −55°C to 125°C, delivers 48 mA low-level output current, and features 5.2 ns max propagation delay (A→Y) at 5 V. It is used in high-reliability memory address buffering and bus driving applications in aerospace and defense systems.
For engineers reviewing the JM38510/33203BRA datasheet, JM38510/33203BRA pinout, JM38510/33203BRA application, or JM38510/33203BRA equivalent, key selection criteria include military temperature range compliance, CDIP-J package mechanical compatibility, 3-state bus-driving capability, and direct functional equivalence to SN54F244J in legacy MIL-PRF-38535 Class B designs.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 4-bit noninverting buffer sections, each with dedicated active-low OE control enabling true 3-state output behavior. Its TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2 V) and output drive strength (IOL = 48 mA, IOH = −12 mA) support robust interfacing with legacy 5-V logic families.
Propagation delays are tightly specified: tPLH/tPHL ≤ 5.2 ns (SN54F244), with enable/disable timing (tPZH/tPLZ ≤ 7 ns) ensuring clean bus arbitration. Absolute maximum ratings include −0.5 V to 7 V supply voltage and −1.2 V to 7 V input voltage-critical for system-level ESD and fault tolerance in harsh environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Octal noninverting buffer with dual 4-bit sections and independent active-low OE inputs |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5-V TTL power rails and tolerant of nominal ±10% variation |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to 125°C - qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 Class B for extended environmental operation |
| Output Drive (Low) | 48 mA - sufficient to drive 50-Ω transmission lines or multiple TTL loads without external buffering |
| Propagation Delay (A→Y) | ≤5.2 ns at VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF - enables reliable operation in high-speed address/data bus timing budgets |
| 3-State Leakage | ±50 µA at VO = 0.5 V or 2.7 V - ensures minimal bus contention during output disable |
| Input Thresholds | VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V - matches standard TTL logic levels for seamless integration into legacy systems |

| 3-State outputs with symmetrical OE | Eliminates bus contention in shared-memory architectures by allowing precise timing-controlled output disable |
| MIL-PRF-38535 Class B qualification | Guarantees screening, testing, and traceability per military reliability standards including burn-in and lot acceptance tests |
| TTL-compatible input/output interface | Direct drop-in replacement for legacy 74F244-based designs without level-shifting or redesign |
| High noise immunity | Input clamp current ≥ −18 mA and VIK = −1.2 V ensure robust operation under transient coupling or ground bounce |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal noninverting buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN54F244J | Identical electrical specs, same CDIP-J package, but commercial-screened (non-QML) version without MIL-PRF-38535 documentation traceability | Lacks full Class B test documentation and lot traceability required for DoD procurement | Select SN54F244J only for non-certified prototypes or cost-sensitive non-military reuse |
| JM38510/33203B2A | Same functionality and temperature range, but packaged in 20-pin LCCC (FK) instead of CDIP-J - surface-mount, hermetic ceramic | Requires PCB redesign for land pattern and reflow profile; preferred for SWaP-constrained avionics | Choose JM38510/33203B2A when board space, vibration resistance, or automated assembly outweigh through-hole serviceability needs |
Compared with SN54F244J, JM38510/33203BRA provides auditable QML Class B compliance and full MIL-PRF-38535 documentation; compared with JM38510/33203B2A, it retains legacy through-hole compatibility while delivering identical performance and screening rigor.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the JM38510/33203BRA?
The JM38510/33203BRA is characterized for operation from −55°C to 125°C, meeting MIL-PRF-38535 Class B requirements. This full military temperature range is verified per Test Method 1010 in MIL-STD-883 and applies to all electrical parameters in the datasheet, including propagation delay, output drive, and input thresholds.
Is the JM38510/33203BRA pin-compatible with commercial SN74F244 variants?
No - the JM38510/33203BRA uses the CDIP-J 20-pin package, which matches SN54F244J mechanically and electrically, but differs from SSOP (DB), SOIC (DW), or PDIP (N) packages used by SN74F244 variants. Pinout is identical to SN54F244J, not SN74F244DB or SN74F244N.
Does the JM38510/33203BRA support 3.3-V logic interfacing?
No - the JM38510/33203BRA is a 5-V TTL device with VIH = 2.0 V minimum and VIL = 0.8 V maximum. It is not designed for direct 3.3-V interface; level translation or bus-hold circuits are required when connecting to 3.3-V FPGAs or microcontrollers.
What is the maximum output current capability of the JM38510/33203BRA?
The JM38510/33203BRA delivers up to 48 mA per output in the low state (IOL) and −12 mA in the high state (IOH), as specified under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V, TA = −55°C to 125°C). These values are validated per MIL-STD-883 Method 3013.
How does the JM38510/33203BRA differ from the JM38510/33203B2A?
The JM38510/33203BRA and JM38510/33203B2A share identical logic function, electrical specs, and temperature range, but differ in packaging: JM38510/33203BRA uses 20-pin CDIP-J (through-hole), while JM38510/33203B2A uses 20-pin LCCC-FK (surface-mount ceramic). The pinout is identical, but PCB layout and assembly processes differ significantly.
