Product details
Overview
JM38510/33701BFA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade 3-line-to-8-line decoder/demultiplexer IC designed for high-speed memory decoding and data routing in ruggedized systems. It features three enable inputs (G1, G2A, G2B), active-low outputs, propagation delays as low as 2.7 ns (tPLH), operates across –55°C to 125°C, and uses a 16-pin CFP (Ceramic Flatpack) package with gold-plated leads.
For engineers reviewing the JM38510/33701BFA datasheet, JM38510/33701BFA pinout, JM38510/33701BFA application, or JM38510/33701BFA equivalent, key selection criteria include its military temperature range, dual-enable logic architecture, output drive capability (20 mA sink), TTL-compatible input thresholds, and suitability for cascaded decoding in avionics and defense computing subsystems.
Technical Context
The JM38510/33701BFA implements positive-logic decoding with two active-low (G2A, G2B) and one active-high (G1) enable control, enabling flexible cascading without external inverters. Its internal logic selects exactly one of eight complementary outputs (Y0–Y7) based on binary inputs A, B, C and simultaneous enable conditions.
It is fully compatible with standard TTL voltage levels: VIH = 2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max, VOH = 2.5 V min at –1 mA, VOL = 0.5 V max at 20 mA. Propagation delay is specified under 5 V supply, 50 pF load, and covers both address-to-output (A/B/C → Y) and enable-to-output (G1/G2A/G2B → Y) paths with distinct tPLH/tPHL values.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | 3-input binary decoder / 1-to-8 demultiplexer with three enable inputs |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with legacy 5 V TTL systems and stable operation under rail variation |
| Propagation Delay | 2.7 ns (min tPLH, G2A→Y) - enables use in sub-100 MHz address decode paths without timing penalty |
| Output Drive | 20 mA sink per output - supports direct interfacing to multiple TTL loads or small LED indicators |
| Operating Temp | –55°C to 125°C - qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 for deployment in airborne, spaceborne, and ground vehicle electronics |
| Input Thresholds | VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V - guarantees noise margin > 0.4 V in noisy military environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 3-line-to-8-line decoder applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54F138W | Identical electrical specs, same CFP (W) package, but marked per JAN/US military specification rather than JANTXV | No functional difference; SNJ54F138W is procured under different DSCC drawing control and traceability requirements | Select SNJ54F138W if DSCC QML-38535 Class V qualification with full lot traceability is mandated by program office |
| 5962-9758201QFA | Same die, identical CFP (W) package, but certified to QML-38535 Class V with extended screening (e.g., burn-in, radiation testing) | Required for spaceflight missions where total ionizing dose (TID) tolerance ≥ 100 krad(Si) is specified | Choose 5962-9758201QFA when radiation hardness assurance (RHA) documentation and test reports are contractually required |
Compared with SNJ54F138W and 5962-9758201QFA, the JM38510/33701BFA delivers identical decoding performance and packaging but is designated under the JANTXV baseline with full MIL-PRF-38535 conformance - making it optimal for defense programs requiring proven field reliability without mandatory RHA overhead.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for JM38510/33701BFA?
The JM38510/33701BFA is characterized for continuous operation from –55°C to 125°C, meeting MIL-PRF-38535 Class B requirements. This range is verified through temperature cycling, steady-state bias life testing, and parametric validation across extremes - ensuring reliable function in jet engine bays, desert-mounted radios, and orbiting satellites where ambient conditions exceed commercial limits. The JM38510/33701BFA maintains full decode functionality and timing compliance throughout this span without derating.
Does JM38510/33701BFA support cascaded decoding without external inverters?
Yes, the JM38510/33701BFA supports 24-line decoding without external inverters using its dual active-low enables (G2A, G2B) and single active-high enable (G1). When configured with G2A and G2B tied to address bits and G1 driven by higher-order selection, up to three JM38510/33701BFA devices can be cascaded directly. This architecture eliminates gate count and propagation delay penalties common in legacy designs - a capability explicitly confirmed in the SDFS051B datasheet functional description for the 'F138 family, applicable to JM38510/33701BFA.
What package type and lead finish does JM38510/33701BFA use?
JM38510/33701BFA uses a 16-pin Ceramic Flatpack (CFP), package drawing W, with gold-plated leads. This hermetically sealed package meets MIL-STD-1835 and provides superior moisture resistance, thermal stability, and long-term solderability versus plastic alternatives. The gold finish ensures reliable wire bonding and eliminates tin whisker risk - critical for aerospace and defense applications where field failure modes must be minimized. Package dimensions and lead geometry are fully documented in TI's official CFP-W mechanical drawings.
Can JM38510/33701BFA be used as a demultiplexer?
Yes, the JM38510/33701BFA functions as a 1-to-8 demultiplexer when one enable input (e.g., G1) is used as the data input while A, B, C serve as select lines. The datasheet explicitly states: "An enable input can be used as a data input for demultiplexing applications." In this mode, the selected output (Y0–Y7) mirrors the logic state of the enabled input, with all others held high. This behavior is electrically identical across all 'F138 variants, including JM38510/33701BFA, and is validated by the function table and logic diagram in SDFS051B.
What are the absolute maximum ratings for JM38510/33701BFA?
The absolute maximum ratings for JM38510/33701BFA are: supply voltage (VCC) –0.5 V to 7 V; input voltage (VI) –1.2 V to 7 V; input current –30 mA to 5 mA; output voltage in high state –0.5 V to VCC; output sink current 40 mA; operating temperature –55°C to 125°C; storage temperature –65°C to 150°C. These stress limits are defined in the SDFS051B datasheet and apply identically to JM38510/33701BFA as a qualified variant of the SN54F138. Exceeding any value may cause permanent damage, and operation beyond recommended conditions is not guaranteed.
