Product details
Overview
JM38510/50503BLA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade, 24-pin ceramic dual in-line package (CDIP) programmable array logic (PAL) device with registered outputs, 12 inputs, and 6 three-state buffered outputs. It operates across −55°C to 125°C, delivers 41.6 MHz maximum clock frequency without feedback, supports asynchronous preload and power-up clear, and is used in legacy aerospace and defense timing and control logic applications.
For engineers reviewing the JM38510/50503BLA datasheet, JM38510/50503BLA pinout, JM38510/50503BLA application, or JM38510/50503BLA equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, military-temperature electrical specs, registered I/O behavior, preload capability, and direct alternatives for obsolescence mitigation and design continuity.
Technical Context
JM38510/50503BLA implements a fixed-architecture PAL with 40 × 64 AND-OR logic array and six D-type flip-flops with common clock (CLK) and output enable (OE). All registered outputs feature asynchronous preload and power-up reset to low state, ensuring deterministic initialization in safety-critical systems.
It uses Advanced Low-Power Schottky (ALS) technology with titanium-tungsten fuses, enabling reliable reprogramming and stable operation under radiation-tolerant conditions typical of MIL-STD-883 Class B screening. Input thresholds meet TTL-compatible VIH ≥ 2 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V at VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Type | Registered PAL with 6 three-state outputs and 12 inputs |
| Max Clock Frequency | 41.6 MHz without feedback - defines highest synchronous state update rate |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - supports wide-margin 5 V rail operation in harsh environments |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to 125°C - qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 for extended military use |
| Propagation Delay | 8–15 ns (CLK to Q) - enables sub-25 ns cycle timing in register-intensive logic |
| Output Drive | IOL = 12 mA, IOH = −2 mA - sufficient for direct TTL fanout without buffers |
| ICC (Max) | 180 mA - sets thermal budget for dense PAL-based control planes |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-pin ceramic dual in-line package (CDIP), JT outline, hermetically sealed, MIL-STD-883 compliant.

| 13 | OE | Active-low output enable controlling three-state behavior of all six outputs |
| 14–19 | I/O | Three-state bidirectional ports (6 pins); configured as outputs in standard operation |
| 20–23 | Q | Registered output pins (4 pins); mirror I/O pins 14–17 when enabled |
| 24 | VCC | +5 V supply pin; decoupling required per MIL-STD-883 layout rules |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Power-Up Clear | All six register outputs initialize to logic low on VCC ramp, eliminating external reset sequencing |
| Asynchronous Preload | Each Q output can be loaded to high or low state independently via CLK pulse and OE control |
| Military Temperature Range | −55°C to 125°C operation validated per MIL-PRF-38535 Class B screening |
| TTL-Compatible I/O | VIH/VIL thresholds and drive strength match standard TTL loads without level-shifting |
| Fuse-Based Programmability | Titanium-tungsten fuse links ensure nonvolatile configuration retention over 20+ years |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar registered PAL applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5962-8767104LA | Same die, identical pinout and specs; differs only in MIL-PRF-38535 certification documentation and traceability packaging | Qualified for Class B (screened) vs. Class S (fully tested) programs; same functional replacement | Select when full Class S qualification with lot-specific test reports is required |
| TIBPAL20R6-20M | Commercial-grade version with identical logic architecture, pinout, and timing but rated only to −40°C to 85°C | Not suitable for flight hardware; acceptable for ground-test benches and lab prototypes | Choose for cost-sensitive development platforms where military temperature range is not needed |
Compared with JM38510/50503BLA, 5962-8767104LA offers identical functionality with enhanced traceability for mission-critical deployments, while TIBPAL20R6-20M provides a lower-cost, non-military alternative for prototyping-neither is pin-compatible without verifying JEDEC outline compliance and thermal derating.

FAQ
What is the exact logic configuration of JM38510/50503BLA?
JM38510/50503BLA is a TIBPAL20R6-20M derivative configured as a registered PAL with 12 dedicated inputs, 6 three-state buffered outputs, and 4 dedicated registered outputs (Q pins). Its internal structure includes a 40 × 64 programmable AND array feeding six D-type flip-flops sharing one CLK and one OE signal. This matches the TIBPAL20R6 architecture described in TI's SRPS021A datasheet.
Does JM38510/50503BLA support asynchronous preload like other TIBPAL20R devices?
Yes, JM38510/50503BLA supports full asynchronous preload per TI's SRPS021A specification. Each of its six registered outputs can be individually forced to high or low state using Pin 1 (CLK), Pin 13 (OE), and the corresponding I/O or Q pin voltage during a controlled pulse sequence - a capability confirmed in the "Preload Procedure" section of the official datasheet.
What is the maximum operating frequency of JM38510/50503BLA and under what conditions?
JM38510/50503BLA achieves a maximum clock frequency of 41.6 MHz without feedback, as specified in the "Recommended Operating Conditions" table of SRPS021A for the -20M series. This value applies across the full −55°C to 125°C range at VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V, with setup time (tsu) ≥ 20 ns and hold time (th) = 0 ns relative to CLK↑.
Is JM38510/50503BLA pin-compatible with commercial TIBPAL20R6-20M devices?
Yes, JM38510/50503BLA uses the same 24-pin CDIP (JT) package outline and identical pin assignments as TIBPAL20R6-20M, including CLK on Pin 1, OE on Pin 13, GND on Pin 8, and VCC on Pin 24. Mechanical and electrical pin compatibility is confirmed by TI's PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM and functional block diagrams in SRPS021A.
What programming equipment is required to configure JM38510/50503BLA?
JM38510/50503BLA is programmed using industry-standard PAL programmers supporting TI's IMPACT™ fuse technology, such as Data I/O PS-200 or BP Microsystems Model 2000. Programming requires 10.25–10.75 V on Pin 13 (VIHH) during fuse blowing, with VCC = 5 V and strict adherence to td/tsu/th timing per Figure 1 in SRPS021A - no special military-only tools are needed.
