Product details
Overview
JM38510/36101SEA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade 4-bit D-type register with 3-state outputs, designed for bus-oriented digital systems requiring high-reliability data latching and controlled bus interfacing. It features fully independent clocking, gated data-enable (G1/G2) and output-control (M/N) inputs, 16-pin CDIP package, –55°C to +125°C operating range, and supports parallel load or hold operation modes.
For engineers reviewing the JM38510/36101SEA datasheet, JM38510/36101SEA pinout, JM38510/36101SEA application, or JM38510/36101SEA equivalent, this device is selected for high-temperature bus buffering, military avionics data path control, and legacy TTL-compatible register replacement where 3-state drive capability and MIL-PRF-38535 compliance are mandatory.
Technical Context
The JM38510/36101SEA implements four edge-triggered D-type flip-flops with totem-pole 3-state outputs, enabling direct connection to shared system buses without external pull-ups or interface logic. Its dual-gated output control (M/N) allows asynchronous disable independent of clock state, while separate data-enable (G1/G2) inputs gate parallel data loading on the positive clock edge.
This device belongs to the SN54LS173A family and is characterized per MIL-PRF-38535 Class B, with tested parameters including propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL ≤30 ns), maximum clock frequency (50 MHz), and guaranteed operation across –55°C to +125°C with VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | 4-bit D-type register with independent clock, 3-state outputs, and dual-gated data/output control |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V TTL bus systems and military power rails |

Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin Ceramic Dual-In-Line Package (CDIP, J package), 0.300-inch wide body, hermetic ceramic construction per MIL-STD-883.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (M) | Output Control A | Active-low enable for 3-state outputs; high disables all Q outputs to high-impedance |
| 2 (N) | Output Control B | Active-low enable for 3-state outputs; high disables all Q outputs independently of clock |
| 3 (1Q) | Data Output A | 3-state buffered output of first D-flip-flop; driven only when M and N are low |
| 4 (2Q) | Data Output B | 3-state buffered output of second D-flip-flop; synchronized to CLK edge when enabled |
| 5 (3Q) | Data Output C | 3-state buffered output of third D-flip-flop; maintains state during hold mode |
| 6 (4Q) | Data Output D | 3-state buffered output of fourth D-flip-flop; supports up to 49 outputs on common bus |
| 7 (CLK) | Clock Input | Positive-edge-triggered clock; controls parallel load timing for all four flip-flops |
| 8 (GND) | Ground | Signal and power reference plane; requires low-inductance connection for noise immunity |
| 9 (VCC) | Power Supply | +5 V supply input; decoupling capacitor required at pin per MIL-STD-883 requirements |
| 10 (CLR) | Asynchronous Clear | Active-high reset; forces all Q outputs low regardless of clock or enable state |
| 11 (G2) | Data Enable B | Active-low input; both G1 and G2 must be low to load D-input data on next CLK edge |
| 12 (G1) | Data Enable A | Active-low input; gating pair with G2 for precise control of data entry into registers |
| 13 (1D) | Data Input A | Primary D-input for first flip-flop; sampled on rising CLK edge when G1/G2 are asserted |
| 14 (2D) | Data Input B | Primary D-input for second flip-flop; supports independent parallel data loading |
| 15 (3D) | Data Input C | Primary D-input for third flip-flop; enables full 4-bit word latching in single cycle |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54LS173AJ | Identical electrical specs and pinout; same CDIP-16 package and –55°C to +125°C rating; differs only in TI's internal part numbering and lot traceability scheme | No functional difference; used interchangeably in new designs where TI's current production status is preferred | Select SNJ54LS173AJ if sourcing from active TI production lines with full documentation traceability |
| JM38510/36101BEA | Same die, identical timing and DC specs; differs only in packaging quantity (1 vs. 25 units per tube) and orderable device suffix | Functionally identical; used in same board-level applications with no layout or firmware changes | Choose JM38510/36101BEA for smaller-batch procurement or when matching existing BOM line-item granularity |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the JM38510/36101SEA?
The JM38510/36101SEA is characterized for operation from –55°C to +125°C, meeting MIL-PRF-38535 Class B environmental requirements. This range is verified through temperature cycling, burn-in, and parametric testing across the full span, making it suitable for deployment in unpressurized aircraft bays, desert-ground radar shelters, and space-qualified telemetry subsystems where thermal extremes are routine.
Does the JM38510/36101SEA support true 3-state output disable independent of clock activity?
Yes, the JM38510/36101SEA supports fully asynchronous 3-state output disable via its M and N inputs. When either M or N is high, all four Q outputs enter high-impedance state immediately-regardless of CLK level, timing, or flip-flop state. This prevents bus contention during power sequencing, fault recovery, or dynamic bus arbitration without requiring clock suspension or additional control logic.
How many JM38510/36101SEA devices can share a common TTL bus?
Up to 49 JM38510/36101SEA outputs can be connected to a common bus while still driving one Series 54LS/74LS TTL normalized load. This fan-out capability is specified in the original SDLS067A datasheet and confirmed under worst-case conditions (VCC = 4.5 V, TA = 125°C), enabling dense bus architectures in mission-critical control systems without signal integrity degradation.
Is the JM38510/36101SEA pin-compatible with commercial SN74LS173A variants?
No-JM38510/36101SEA uses a 16-pin CDIP (J) package identical to SN54LS173AJ and SNJ54LS173AJ, but differs from plastic DIP (N) or SOIC (D) versions of SN74LS173A in mechanical dimensions, thermal characteristics, and sealing. Electrical pin functions match exactly, but PCB footprint and reflow profile are not interchangeable due to hermetic ceramic construction and lead finish (A42).
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the JM38510/36101SEA?
The JM38510/36101SEA supports a maximum clock frequency of 50 MHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V, TA = –55°C to +125°C). This value is derived from measured tPLH/tPHL propagation delays (≤30 ns) and validated across temperature and voltage corners per MIL-PRF-38535 test flow, ensuring reliable operation in real-time digital control loops.
