Overview
JM38510/65308BFA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade quad D-type positive-edge-triggered flip-flop with complementary outputs and direct clear (CLR), operating across −55°C to 125°C, featuring 2 V to 6 V supply range, 13 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V, ±4-mA output drive, and low 80-µA max ICC - used in radiation-tolerant buffer/storage register designs for aerospace avionics.
For engineers reviewing the JM38510/65308BFA datasheet, JM38510/65308BFA pinout, JM38510/65308BFA application, or JM38510/65308BFA equivalent, key selection criteria include its CFP package, MIL-PRF-38535 Class B qualification, guaranteed operation over extended temperature, direct clear functionality, and compatibility with HC logic families in high-reliability timing and data storage circuits.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent D-type latches synchronized to the rising edge of CLK, each with true and complemented Q/Q̅ outputs and a shared asynchronous active-low CLR input. It uses silicon-gate CMOS technology for low power and high noise immunity.
All inputs meet defined VIH/VIL thresholds across 2–6 V VCC, with setup/hold times of 20 ns (at 4.5 V) and pulse width requirements of 16 ns for CLK and CLR. Output drive capability remains stable at ±4 mA under 4.5 V, supporting up to 10 LSTTL loads.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad D-type flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54HC175W | Same CFP package, identical pinout and electrical specs, but rated per MIL-STD-883 not MIL-PRF-38535 Class B | Lacks Class B conformance testing (e.g., burn-in, lot acceptance test); suitable for non-flight prototypes or ground support equipment | Select SNJ54HC175W only when full flight qualification is unnecessary and cost sensitivity outweighs long-term reliability assurance |
| JM38510/65308BEA | Identical functionality and qualification, but in CDIP (J) package instead of CFP (W); larger footprint and lower thermal resistance | Better suited for through-hole prototyping or legacy board rework where CFP reflow is unavailable; less robust against mechanical shock | Choose JM38510/65308BEA when board assembly infrastructure favors DIP sockets or manual soldering, and vibration environment is moderate |
Compared with SNJ54HC175W and JM38510/65308BEA, JM38510/65308BFA delivers verified Class B reliability in the most compact hermetic CFP form factor - making it the sole choice for spaceflight-qualified 4-bit register functions where size, radiation tolerance, and certification rigor are jointly constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by JM38510/65308BFA?
JM38510/65308BFA supports up to 25 MHz at VCC = 4.5 V and 29 MHz at VCC = 6 V under recommended operating conditions. These values derive from measured fmax with CL = 50 pF and 50% duty cycle, ensuring setup/hold timing margins are maintained across the full −55°C to +125°C range. The 13 ns typical tpd confirms timing feasibility for these frequencies.
Does JM38510/65308BFA require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
Yes - all unused inputs of JM38510/65308BFA must be tied to VCC or GND to prevent floating states that could cause excessive ICC or metastability. This requirement is specified in TI application report SCBA004 and applies uniformly across all HC-family devices, including JM38510/65308BFA, due to CMOS input structure sensitivity.
Is JM38510/65308BFA compatible with standard 74HC175 logic levels?
Yes - JM38510/65308BFA is electrically and functionally compatible with commercial 74HC175 devices, sharing identical VIH/VIL thresholds, output drive strength, and timing parameters. Its HC logic family designation ensures interoperability with SN74HC175 and SN54HC175 in mixed-sourcing designs, provided packaging and qualification requirements align.
What does the "BFA" suffix indicate in JM38510/65308BFA?
The "BFA" suffix denotes a specific variant within the JM38510/65308 product family: "B" indicates the revision level per MIL-PRF-38535, "F" specifies the CFP (flatpack) package, and "A" identifies the lead finish (A42). This full suffix uniquely identifies the device's qualification level, physical form, and material composition per Defense Logistics Agency documentation.
Can JM38510/65308BFA be used in place of SNJ54HC175W in an existing design?
JM38510/65308BFA can replace SNJ54HC175W electrically and mechanically - both use the 16-pin CFP package with identical pinout and DC/AC specifications. However, JM38510/65308BFA adds MIL-PRF-38535 Class B conformance, so substitution requires verification that the higher screening level meets program-specific reliability and documentation requirements.
