Product details
Overview
JM38510/37101SCA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade dual positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop IC operating across −55°C to 125°C, featuring independent preset (PRE) and clear (CLR) inputs, 5 V nominal supply voltage, 25 MHz maximum clock frequency (CL = 50 pF), and TTL-compatible input/output levels. It serves as a synchronous storage element in hardened digital control logic for aerospace telemetry sequencers and radiation-tolerant avionics timing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the JM38510/37101SCA datasheet, JM38510/37101SCA pinout, JM38510/37101SCA application, or JM38510/37101SCA equivalent, this page delivers verified functional specifications, military-qualified package details, absolute maximum ratings, switching timing constraints, and direct alternatives for high-reliability system design.
Technical Context
The JM38510/37101SCA implements two identical edge-triggered D flip-flops with asynchronous active-low PRE and CLR controls. Each stage transfers data from D to Q on the rising edge of CLK only when both PRE and CLR are high, with no dependency on CLK rise time-triggering occurs at a defined voltage threshold.
It belongs to the SN54ALS74A family and is characterized for full military temperature operation. Its logic behavior follows the standard D-type truth table with non-overlapping asynchronous set/reset priority, and output states remain stable after hold-time compliance without metastability propagation under valid setup/hold conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | ALS (Advanced Low-Power Schottky) TTL - enables low-power, high-speed operation with standard TTL voltage compatibility. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 25 MHz at CL = 50 pF - defines maximum synchronous update rate in buffered logic paths with typical load. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures robust operation across power rail variations in regulated military power systems. |
| Input Voltage Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - guarantees noise margin >0.4 V against TTL-level interference in noisy environments. |
| Output Drive Capability | IOL = 4 mA / IOH = −0.4 mA - supports direct fan-out to ≥10 standard TTL loads without buffering. |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to 125°C - qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 Class S for use in spaceflight, missile guidance, and engine control units. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 23 ns (CLK to Q) - determines worst-case path delay in synchronous state machines and counters. |
Pinout & Package
Ceramic Dual-In-Line Package (CDIP), J package, 14-pin, hermetically sealed with ceramic lid and glass frit seal per MIL-STD-1835 GDIP1-T14. Height ≤ 5.08 mm. Pin 1 identified by optional index mark on cap.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1CLR | Active-low asynchronous reset for first flip-flop - forces 1Q = L, 1Q̅ = H independent of clock or data. |
| 2 | 1D | Data input for first flip-flop - sampled on rising CLK edge when PRE/CLR are inactive (high). |
| 3 | 1CLK | Clock input for first flip-flop - rising-edge sensitive with voltage-threshold triggering, not slew-rate dependent. |
| 4 | 1PRE | Active-low asynchronous preset for first flip-flop - forces 1Q = H, 1Q̅ = L regardless of other inputs. |
| 5 | 1Q | True output of first flip-flop - latched value of 1D at last qualifying CLK↑ edge. |
| 6 | 1Q̅ | Inverted output of first flip-flop - complementary to 1Q, available for differential signaling or feedback. |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference - must be low-impedance connection to minimize ground bounce in high-speed switching. |
| 8 | VCC | +5 V power supply - decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 1 cm of this pin for noise suppression. |
| 9 | 2CLR | Active-low asynchronous reset for second flip-flop - independent control, no coupling to first stage. |
| 10 | 2D | Data input for second flip-flop - electrically isolated from 1D; supports dual-channel parallel data capture. |
| 11 | 2CLK | Clock input for second flip-flop - may share CLK with first stage or operate from separate timing source. |
| 12 | 2PRE | Active-low asynchronous preset for second flip-flop - fully independent of 1PRE; enables selective initialization. |
| 13 | 2Q | True output of second flip-flop - synchronized to 2CLK, unaffected by 1CLK or 1D transitions. |
| 14 | 2Q̅ | Inverted output of second flip-flop - provides complementary latch state for bus drivers or XOR logic gates. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Asynchronous Set/Reset Priority | PRE and CLR override clock and data - enables immediate state forcing for fault recovery or mode initialization. |
| Voltage-Threshold Clock Triggering | CLK edge detection independent of rise time - eliminates timing skew due to signal distortion in long traces or backplanes. |
| Military Temperature Qualification | Tested and screened over −55°C to 125°C - meets MIL-PRF-38535 Class S requirements for mission-critical hardware. |
| Low Power Dissipation | 6 mW per flip-flop typical - reduces thermal load in densely packed modules and extends battery life in portable defense systems. |
| TTL-Compatible I/O Levels | VIH/VIL and VOH/VOL match standard TTL specs - allows seamless integration into legacy 5 V logic families without level shifters. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual D-type flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN54AS74AJ | Higher speed: 90 MHz max clock, 10.5 mA ICC, AS-family propagation delays ≤10 ns. | Used where higher throughput is needed but radiation tolerance is secondary to speed. | Select SN54AS74AJ when system clock exceeds 25 MHz and temperature range remains −55°C to 125°C. |
| JM38510/37101BCA | Same ALS family, identical electrical specs, but CDIP J package with different screening lot traceability per MIL-PRF-38535. | Preferred for programs requiring alternate lot qualification or specific procurement documentation lineage. | Choose JM38510/37101BCA when continuity of manufacturing pedigree or alternate test report format is mandated. |
Compared with JM38510/37101SCA, SN54AS74AJ trades lower power and tighter noise margins for significantly higher speed, while JM38510/37101BCA offers identical functionality with divergent quality documentation-neither is pin-compatible without verifying mechanical footprint and thermal pad layout.

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum supply voltage rating for JM38510/37101SCA?
The absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC) for JM38510/37101SCA is 7 V, as specified in the absolute maximum ratings table. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. The recommended operating range is strictly 4.5 V to 5.5 V, and sustained use at 7 V is prohibited even briefly. This limit applies to JM38510/37101SCA regardless of temperature or load condition.
Does JM38510/37101SCA support 3.3 V logic interfacing?
No, JM38510/37101SCA is a 5 V TTL device with VIH minimum of 2.0 V and VIL maximum of 0.8 V - it does not meet 3.3 V logic thresholds. Direct connection to 3.3 V microcontrollers or FPGAs requires level-shifting circuitry. The internal architecture, biasing, and output drive are optimized for 5 V operation, and JM38510/37101SCA is not characterized for reliable function below 4.5 V VCC.
What is the meaning of "S" in the JM38510/37101SCA part number suffix?
The "S" in JM38510/37101SCA denotes the screening level per MIL-PRF-38535: it indicates Class S (Space Level) qualification, including extended burn-in, radiation hardness assurance testing, and full lot traceability. This distinguishes JM38510/37101SCA from Class B or Class K variants and confirms its suitability for spacecraft and high-altitude platforms. The "CA" suffix specifies ceramic DIP (J) package with standard lead finish.
Can JM38510/37101SCA be used in place of SN54ALS74AJ?
Yes - JM38510/37101SCA is functionally and electrically identical to SN54ALS74AJ, sharing the same ALS logic family, pinout, timing, and military temperature range. Both are CDIP-packaged, −55°C to 125°C rated devices. However, JM38510/37101SCA carries additional Space Level (Class S) screening per MIL-PRF-38535, making it acceptable where SN54ALS74AJ is not certified for flight hardware.
What are the thermal resistance characteristics of JM38510/37101SCA?
Thermal resistance (θJA) is not published for JM38510/37101SCA in the SDAS143C datasheet, as ceramic DIP packages are not characterized using standard JEDEC PCB test boards. The device relies on conduction through leads and hermetic sealing rather than convective cooling. Maximum junction temperature is inferred from ambient limits (−55°C to 125°C) and power dissipation (2.4–4 mA ICC × 5 V ≈ 12–20 mW), resulting in negligible self-heating under normal operation. No θJA value is assigned to JM38510/37101SCA in official TI documentation.
