Product details
Overview
M38510/07903BEA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade quad 2-input data selector/multiplexer IC in CDIP-16 package, operating across -55°C to +125°C, with TTL-compatible inputs and outputs, 15 ns typical propagation delay, and dual-output enable control for bus isolation in avionics and missile guidance systems.
For engineers reviewing the M38510/07903BEA datasheet, M38510/07903BEA pinout, M38510/07903BEA application, or M38510/07903BEA equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, validated pin-level circuit roles, temperature-rated performance metrics, and qualified military-grade alternatives aligned with QML-38535 Class B requirements.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent 2:1 multiplexers sharing common select (S) and output enable (G̅) inputs, each selecting between A or B input based on S logic level while G̅ controls output high-impedance state. It uses bipolar TTL technology with Schottky-clamped transistors to achieve consistent timing and noise immunity under extreme thermal stress.
All outputs drive standard TTL loads, support wired-AND operation, and maintain guaranteed VOH ≥ 2.7 V and VOL ≤ 0.5 V over full military temperature range. Input thresholds are VIH ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V, ensuring robust interfacing with legacy 5-V digital subsystems in flight computers and radar signal processors.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad 2-input multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54LS157J | Identical logic function, pinout, and military temperature rating; same CDIP-16 package and SNPB finish but lacks QML-38535 Class B certification documentation traceability. | Approved for non-certified military programs where full QML documentation is not mandated. | Select SNJ54LS157J when full QML-38535 Class B audit trail is unnecessary and cost sensitivity is higher. |
| M38510/07903BFA | Same logic function and QML-38535 Class B qualification, but in CFP-16 package with different mechanical footprint and thermal resistance profile. | Suitable for board layouts requiring lower profile or improved thermal conduction through metal lid. | Choose M38510/07903BFA when mechanical integration constraints favor flat-pack geometry over DIP height. |
Compared with SNJ54LS157J, M38510/07903BEA provides auditable QML-38535 Class B compliance essential for DoD prime contracts, while M38510/07903BFA offers identical reliability with alternate mechanical form factor-neither is pin-compatible with commercial SOIC variants like SN74LS157DR.

FAQ
What is the logic function of M38510/07903BEA?
M38510/07903BEA implements four independent 2:1 data selectors sharing common select (S) and active-low output enable (G̅) inputs. Each channel routes either A or B input to its Y output based on S state, with all outputs disabled when G̅ is high. This function is identical to the industry-standard SN54LS157 logic topology.
Does M38510/07903BEA require external pull-up resistors on outputs?
No, M38510/07903BEA features totem-pole TTL outputs capable of driving standard TTL loads directly. Its IOH = -400 µA and IOL = 8 mA specifications eliminate need for external pull-ups in typical bus configurations, though proper VCC decoupling remains mandatory for noise immunity.
Is M38510/07903BEA RoHS-compliant?
No, M38510/07903BEA uses SNPB (tin-lead) lead finish and is explicitly marked "No" for RoHS compliance in TI's packaging documentation. It is exempt per MIL-PRF-38535 and intended for legacy aerospace manufacturing lines requiring tin-lead solder compatibility.
What is the maximum clock rate supported by M38510/07903BEA?
M38510/07903BEA does not operate on a clock signal-it is combinational logic. Its usable data rate is governed by propagation delay (15 ns max) and setup/hold timing. For clean 2:1 selection with no glitches, input changes should be spaced ≥20 ns apart under worst-case conditions across -55°C to +125°C.
Can M38510/07903BEA replace SN74LS157N in existing designs?
M38510/07903BEA shares identical logic function and pinout with SN74LS157N but differs critically in temperature range (-55°C to +125°C vs. 0°C to +70°C), packaging (hermetic CDIP vs. plastic PDIP), and qualification (QML-38535 Class B vs. commercial). Direct replacement requires validation of thermal, mechanical, and reliability requirements.
