Product details
Overview
M38510/00801BDA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade TTL hex inverter buffer/driver with open-collector high-voltage outputs, designed for level-shifting from TTL to MOS logic and driving high-current loads such as relays and indicator lamps. It features 30 V output breakdown voltage, 30 mA maximum sink current, and operates across –55°C to +125°C.
For engineers reviewing the M38510/00801BDA datasheet, M38510/00801BDA pinout, M38510/00801BDA application, or M38510/00801BDA equivalent, this device serves critical interface roles in ruggedized industrial control, aerospace avionics, and legacy military systems requiring high-voltage open-collector drive capability and MIL-PRF-38535 qualification.
Technical Context
This device implements six independent inverting buffer stages, each with an open-collector NPN output stage capable of sinking up to 30 mA while withstanding 30 V off-state output voltage. Input clamping diodes simplify system design by eliminating external protection components.
It is fully compatible with standard TTL input thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V), supports 4.5–5.5 V supply operation, and delivers propagation delays of tPLH = 10 ns and tPHL = 15 ns at VCC = 5 V, TA = 25°C with RL = 110 Ω and CL = 15 pF.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Hex inverter buffer with true-output inversion and open-collector output stage |
| Output Voltage Rating | 30 V max - enables direct interface with 24 V relay coils and MOS gate drivers without external level-shifting |
| Sink Current Capability | 30 mA per channel - sufficient to drive LEDs, incandescent lamps, and small solenoids directly |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - matches standard 5 V TTL bus systems and ensures stable operation under rail variation |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 for use in extended-environment defense and space applications |
| Input Compatibility | Fully compatible with standard TTL logic families - no pull-up resistors or level translators required on inputs |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH = 10 ns, tPHL = 15 ns - supports medium-speed digital control timing in real-time I/O subsystems |
Pinout & Package
Package: CFP (W) - 14-pin ceramic flatpack, hermetically sealed, lead finish SNPB (tin-lead), suitable for high-reliability and high-temperature environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex inverter buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ5406W | Identical electrical specs, same CFP (W) package, but manufactured under different TI part numbering convention and lot traceability structure | No functional or mechanical difference - used interchangeably in QML-38535-compliant designs | Select SNJ5406W when sourcing from TI's standard military catalog; M38510/00801BDA preferred for DoD-assigned part number compliance |
| M38510/00801BCA | Same logic function and ratings, but packaged in CDIP (J) instead of CFP (W); slightly higher thermal resistance (θJA ≈ 80°C/W vs. ~65°C/W for CFP) | CDIP variant better suited for through-hole prototyping or legacy board rework; CFP offers superior hermeticity and thermal performance | Choose M38510/00801BCA for hand-soldered evaluation or repair; retain M38510/00801BDA for production systems demanding highest reliability and temperature margin |
Compared with SNJ5406W and M38510/00801BCA, M38510/00801BDA provides identical logic functionality and electrical performance but distinguishes itself with CFP packaging optimized for low-inductance, high-temperature, and hermetically sealed deployment - making it the preferred choice for new designs targeting MIL-STD-810G environmental compliance and long-lifecycle support.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage rating for M38510/00801BDA?
The M38510/00801BDA has a minimum output breakdown voltage of 30 V, allowing safe operation with external pull-up voltages up to that level. This rating is confirmed in the absolute maximum ratings table of the SDLS031A datasheet and applies specifically to the '06-series variants including M38510/00801BDA. Exceeding 30 V risks permanent damage to the open-collector output transistors.
Is M38510/00801BDA pin-compatible with commercial SN7406 devices?
Yes, M38510/00801BDA shares identical pinout and logic function with SN7406 and SN5406, including the 14-pin CFP (W) footprint matching the CDIP (J) and SOIC (D) variants. However, M38510/00801BDA is not a drop-in replacement in terms of qualification - it meets MIL-PRF-38535 Class V requirements, whereas SN7406 does not. PCB layout remains identical.
What is the operating temperature range specified for M38510/00801BDA?
M38510/00801BDA is rated for operation from –55°C to +125°C, consistent with its qualification under MIL-PRF-38535. This range is explicitly stated in TI's Package Option Addendum and verified in the recommended operating conditions table of SDLS031A. The CFP (W) package contributes to thermal stability across this full military temperature span.
Does M38510/00801BDA require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
Yes, M38510/00801BDA features open-collector outputs and requires external pull-up resistors to define the high logic state. The value depends on load voltage and speed requirements - typical values range from 1 kΩ (for 24 V, fast switching) to 10 kΩ (for 5 V, low power). No internal pull-ups are present.
How does M38510/00801BDA differ from M38510/00801BCA?
M38510/00801BDA and M38510/00801BCA share identical electrical specifications and logic function but differ in package: M38510/00801BDA uses CFP (W), while M38510/00801BCA uses CDIP (J). The CFP offers lower thermal resistance and superior hermetic sealing, making M38510/00801BDA preferable for high-reliability applications where moisture ingress or thermal cycling is a concern.
