Product details
Overview
M38510/00801BCA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade TTL hex inverter buffer/driver with six independent open-collector high-voltage outputs, rated for 30 V breakdown voltage and 30 mA sink current per channel, operating across –55°C to +125°C, and used in legacy aerospace and defense systems for driving relays, lamps, and MOS-level interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the M38510/00801BCA datasheet, M38510/00801BCA pinout, M38510/00801BCA application, or M38510/00801BCA equivalent, this device serves as a radiation-tolerant, high-sink-current logic interface for harsh-environment digital control subsystems requiring compatibility with both TTL inputs and high-voltage loads.
Technical Context
This device implements six identical inverting buffer stages, each featuring an open-collector NPN output stage with internal pull-up resistors omitted-requiring external pull-up for logic-high assertion-and input clamping diodes for transient protection. It operates strictly as a level-shifting inverter, not a line driver or bus transceiver.
The M38510/00801BCA is defined under MIL-PRF-38535 Class B (QML-38535) with full screening for military applications; its electrical behavior matches SN5406 specifications-including 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply range, 2 V minimum VIH, 0.8 V maximum VIL, and 0.4 V maximum VOL at 16 mA-verified across the full temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Hex inverter buffer with true (inverting) logic output polarity and open-collector output topology. |
| Output Voltage Rating | 30 V maximum off-state output voltage-enables direct interface to 24 V relay coils or MOS gate drivers without external voltage translation. |
| Sink Current Capacity | 30 mA per output-supports driving indicator lamps, solenoids, and small relays without external transistor buffering. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V-compatible with standard 5 V TTL power rails and stable under wide-input tolerance conditions. |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C-qualified for extended-range operation in avionics, missile guidance, and space-qualified electronics. |
| Input Compatibility | Fully compatible with standard TTL logic families-accepts 2 V VIH and 0.8 V VIL thresholds without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Propagation Delay | 10 ns minimum tPLH / 15 ns minimum tPHL-ensures deterministic timing in synchronous control logic with predictable setup/hold margins. |
Pinout & Package
Ceramic Dual-In-Line Package (CDIP), 14-pin, hermetically sealed with glass-frit lid per MIL-STD-1835 GDIP1-T14; 5.08 mm max height; lead finish: 100% tin-lead (SNPB); RoHS exempt.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 13 | Input (1A–6A) | Active-high TTL-compatible inputs; internally clamped to GND and VCC for ESD and overvoltage protection. |
| 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 | Output (1Y–6Y) | Open-collector NPN outputs-require external pull-up resistor to define logic-high voltage and current path. |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all input thresholds, output saturation, and internal bias networks. |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply rail (4.5–5.5 V); powers internal logic and output stage base drive circuitry. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-voltage open-collector outputs | 30 V breakdown rating enables direct 24 V load switching without external FETs or level shifters. |
| Input clamping diodes | Integrated diodes limit input transients to ±0.5 V beyond rails-reduces need for external TVS or RC snubbers. |
| TTL input compatibility | VIH = 2 V / VIL = 0.8 V thresholds match standard 74LS/74S families-no glue logic required. |
| MIL-PRF-38535 Class B qualification | Full screening per QML-38535 includes burn-in, temperature cycling, and parametric testing-certified for flight-critical use. |
| Wide-temperature operation | Guaranteed functionality from –55°C to +125°C-validated across thermal extremes without derating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex inverter buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ5406J | Identical electrical specs and CDIP-14 package; same MIL-PRF-38535 Class B qualification but different lot traceability and marking format. | No functional difference-used interchangeably in new designs where TI's standard military part numbering is preferred. | Select SNJ5406J when sourcing from TI's active military catalog with updated documentation and logistics support. |
| M38510/00801BDA | Same logic function and ratings, but packaged in CFP (flatpack) instead of CDIP-different mechanical footprint, thermal resistance, and mounting method. | Preferred for surface-mount assembly or weight-sensitive platforms where through-hole CDIP is unsuitable. | Choose M38510/00801BDA only when board layout requires CFP-14 footprint and reflow-compatible packaging. |
Compared with SNJ5406J, M38510/00801BCA shares identical electrical performance and screening but differs in manufacturer-specific lot coding and test documentation lineage; versus M38510/00801BDA, it offers through-hole reliability and proven thermal performance in conduction-cooled chassis environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable output voltage for M38510/00801BCA?
The M38510/00801BCA has a minimum output breakdown voltage of 30 V, meaning it can safely withstand up to 30 V at its open-collector outputs when in the off state. This rating is verified per MIL-PRF-38535 screening and applies across the full –55°C to +125°C operating range. Exceeding 30 V risks permanent damage to the output transistor junction.
Does M38510/00801BCA require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
Yes, M38510/00801BCA requires external pull-up resistors on all six open-collector outputs (pins 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12) to establish a defined logic-high voltage level. The device contains no internal pull-ups; omission results in floating outputs incapable of asserting HIGH. Resistor value depends on load current and desired rise time-typically 1–10 kΩ for 24 V systems.
Is M38510/00801BCA pin-compatible with commercial SN7406 variants?
No, M38510/00801BCA is not pin-compatible with commercial SN7406 variants such as SN7406N or SN7406DR. While both share the same 14-pin DIP pinout assignment, M38510/00801BCA uses a ceramic dual-in-line package (CDIP-J) with different mechanical dimensions, lead spacing, and thermal characteristics-making direct PCB substitution impossible without layout revision.
What is the input voltage threshold specification for M38510/00801BCA?
M38510/00801BCA specifies a minimum high-level input voltage (VIH) of 2.0 V and a maximum low-level input voltage (VIL) of 0.8 V under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5–5.5 V). These thresholds ensure reliable recognition of standard TTL logic levels and are fully tested across the –55°C to +125°C temperature range per MIL-PRF-38535 requirements.
Can M38510/00801BCA be used in place of SN5416 for 15 V applications?
No, M38510/00801BCA must not replace SN5416 in 15 V applications. M38510/00801BCA corresponds to the SN5406 variant, which is rated for 30 V output breakdown; SN5416 is rated for only 15 V. Using M38510/00801BCA where SN5416 is specified introduces unnecessary voltage margin but may cause timing or loading mismatches due to differing internal resistor values and propagation delays.
