Product details
Overview
JM38510/34803BRA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional asynchronous data transfer between A and B buses in high-reliability systems. It operates across –55°C to 125°C, supports 5 V supply, delivers up to 48 mA sink current on A-side and 64 mA on B-side, and features DIR/OE control logic for bus isolation - used in avionics backplane interfaces and radiation-tolerant telemetry subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the JM38510/34803BRA datasheet, JM38510/34803BRA pinout, JM38510/34803BRA application, or JM38510/34803BRA equivalent, key selection considerations include its CDIP-20 package, full military temperature range, TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2 V), and verified 3-state output timing (tPLZ ≤ 7.5 ns at TA = MAX).
Technical Context
The JM38510/34803BRA implements dual 8-bit bidirectional data paths controlled by separate direction (DIR) and output enable (OE) inputs. Its logic enables A→B or B→A transmission depending on DIR state while OE independently places all outputs in high-impedance mode - enabling true bus isolation without external gating.
It conforms to the SN54F245 functional specification and is characterized per MIL-PRF-38535 Class B requirements. Electrical behavior matches F-series TTL: propagation delays (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 7.5 ns), output voltage levels (VOH ≥ 2.4 V at IOH = –3 mA on A-side), and input clamp current (–18 mA) are guaranteed over the full –55°C to 125°C range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with legacy 5 V TTL and CMOS systems without level-shifting. |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to 125°C - qualified for airborne, spaceborne, and ground-based military platforms per MIL-STD-883. |
| Output Drive (A-side) | 24 mA sink / –3 mA source - sufficient to drive 10 standard TTL loads directly. |
| Output Drive (B-side) | 64 mA sink / –15 mA source - higher drive strength supports heavier bus loading on system-side interconnects. |
| Propagation Delay | ≤ 7.5 ns (A↔B) - enables reliable operation in sub-100 MHz synchronous bus environments. |
| 3-State Enable Time | tPZL ≤ 9 ns, tPHZ ≤ 7.5 ns - fast bus release prevents contention during dynamic bus arbitration. |
| Input Thresholds | VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V - matches standard TTL logic families for seamless integration. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Ceramic Dual-In-Line Package (CDIP), 20-pin, hermetically sealed, lead finish SNPB (tin-lead), RoHS-exempt, MSL N/A.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | DIR | Direction control input: LOW enables B→A transfer; HIGH enables A→B transfer. |
| 2–9 | A1–A8 | Bus A data I/O terminals - connect to local subsystem bus (e.g., processor address/data lines). |
| 10 | GND | Signal ground reference for all I/O and power pins. |
| 11 | VCC | +5 V power supply - must be decoupled locally with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor. |
| 12–19 | B1–B8 | Bus B data I/O terminals - interface to remote bus segment (e.g., peripheral backplane). |
| 20 | OE | Output enable: LOW activates transceiver; HIGH forces all A/B pins into high-impedance state. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional Bus Control | Single DIR pin selects data flow direction without requiring separate transmit/receive control logic. |
| True 3-State Isolation | OE input disables both A and B ports simultaneously, eliminating bus contention during reset or standby. |
| Military Temperature Range | Guaranteed operation from –55°C to 125°C - validated per MIL-STD-883 Method 1010.8 temperature cycling. |
| TTL-Compatible Interface | VIH/VIL thresholds and output drive match standard TTL, enabling direct replacement of legacy 74LS245/74S245. |
| Hermetic CDIP Packaging | Ceramic DIP construction provides moisture resistance and long-term reliability in harsh environmental conditions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54F245J | Same SN54F245 die, identical CDIP-20 package and military temp range; differs only in part marking and traceability documentation per JANTXV spec. | No functional difference; selected when JANTXV-certified documentation (e.g., lot trace, 100% screening reports) is required. | Prefer JM38510/34803BRA for DoD ASSIST-compliant procurement; SNJ54F245J acceptable where JANTXV suffices. |
| JM38510/34803BSA | Same functionality and specs, but packaged in CFP-20 (flatpack) instead of CDIP-20 - smaller footprint, different thermal profile, no through-hole mounting. | Used where board space is constrained and surface-mount assembly is preferred; not drop-in compatible due to package geometry and leadform. | Select JM38510/34803BSA only if PCB layout supports CFP-20 land pattern and thermal management accommodates lower thermal resistance. |
Compared with SNJ54F245J, JM38510/34803BRA offers identical electrical performance but enhanced configuration control per MIL-PRF-38535 Appendix G; versus JM38510/34803BSA, it provides proven mechanical robustness in high-vibration environments due to CDIP's rigid leadframe and through-hole retention.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the JM38510/34803BRA?
The JM38510/34803BRA is fully characterized from –55°C to 125°C per MIL-PRF-38535 Class B requirements. This range is validated through temperature cycling, steady-state burn-in, and parametric testing at extremes - making it suitable for deployment in jet engine bays, missile guidance sections, and orbital payload compartments where ambient thermal stress exceeds commercial limits.
Is the JM38510/34803BRA pin-compatible with commercial SN74F245 variants?
No - the JM38510/34803BRA uses a CDIP-20 package matching the SN54F245J footprint, not the SSOP (DB), SOIC (DW), or PDIP (N) packages used by SN74F245 variants. While logic function and pin assignments are identical, physical dimensions, lead pitch (2.54 mm), and mounting method differ; PCB redesign is required for substitution.
Does the JM38510/34803BRA support hot-swap or live-insertion?
The JM38510/34803BRA does not include built-in hot-swap protection circuitry. However, its 3-state outputs and high-impedance disable mode (via OE) allow safe insertion/removal when power and signal lines are sequenced correctly - i.e., VCC established before signals, OE held HIGH until power stabilizes, and OE asserted before removal. System-level protection remains the designer's responsibility.
What is the maximum output current rating for the B-side drivers of the JM38510/34803BRA?
The B-side outputs (B1–B8) of the JM38510/34803BRA are rated for 64 mA sink current (IOL) at VCC = 4.5 V and TA = 125°C, per the "Electrical Characteristics" table in SDFS010A. This rating applies under continuous DC load; pulsed operation may allow brief excursions beyond this limit, but sustained current must remain within specification to ensure reliability.
How does the DIR input affect data flow direction in the JM38510/34803BRA?
In the JM38510/34803BRA, a LOW logic level on the DIR pin enables data transmission from the B bus to the A bus (B→A), while a HIGH level enables A→B transfer. This directional control operates independently of OE: when OE is LOW, direction follows DIR; when OE is HIGH, all outputs go high-impedance regardless of DIR state - enabling clean bus arbitration in multi-master systems.
