Product details
Overview
M38510/30903B2A from Texas Instruments is a military-grade quad 2-input data selector/multiplexer in LCCC-20 package, operating across –55°C to +125°C, with TTL-compatible inputs and outputs, 15 ns typical propagation delay, and dual enable control for channel selection in avionics timing and flight control logic circuits.
For engineers reviewing the M38510/30903B2A datasheet, M38510/30903B2A pinout, M38510/30903B2A application, or M38510/30903B2A equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping, exact pin functions, temperature-rated performance specs, and qualified alternatives for QML-38510 Class B aerospace deployments.
Technical Context
The M38510/30903B2A implements four independent 2:1 multiplexers sharing common select (S) and strobe (G̅) inputs, each with complementary output pairs (Y and Y̅), enabling simultaneous routing of two signal paths per stage. It uses bipolar TTL circuitry with Schottky-clamped transistors to ensure noise immunity and stable operation under radiation-hardened conditions.
Its dual-enable architecture allows hierarchical gating: G̅ enables all channels, while S selects between I₀ and I₁ on each multiplexer. Input thresholds are defined at VIL = 0.8 V and VIH = 2.0 V, and outputs drive ±16 mA loads, supporting direct interfacing with other 54LS/74LS family logic without level-shifting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | 54LS TTL - ensures compatibility with legacy military digital systems requiring Schottky-clamped speed and noise margin. |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended-range deployment in engine bays, radar subsystems, and space-qualified payloads. |
| Propagation Delay | 15 ns max (tPLH/tPHL) - supports synchronous data routing at up to 33 MHz clock rates in real-time control loops. |
| Supply Voltage | VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V - accommodates regulated 5 V rails with ±10% tolerance common in MIL-STD-704 aircraft power systems. |
| Output Drive | ±16 mA (IOH/IOL) - sufficient to directly drive multiple LS inputs or small-signal discrete loads without buffering. |
| Input Thresholds | VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V - provides 0.4 V noise margin against ground bounce and EMI in high-density PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
LCCC (FK) package: 20-terminal leadless ceramic chip carrier, 8.89 mm × 8.89 mm body, 1.27 mm pitch, 2.03 mm max height, hermetically sealed for moisture resistance and thermal stability in harsh environments.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad 2:1 multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54LS157FK | Same logic function, identical LCCC-20 package, but marked per SNJ prefix and tested to JANTXV level only-not QML-38510 Class B certified. | Approved for non-classified military programs where full QML screening is not mandated; lacks burn-in and lot acceptance test documentation. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs formal qualification requirements, and system-level radiation testing is performed externally. |
| M38510/30903BEA | Same functional spec but in CDIP-16 package (16-pin ceramic DIP), with different pinout and thermal profile; no complementary outputs (Y̅ pins omitted). | Used in legacy board designs with through-hole assembly and lower density; unsuitable for surface-mount LCCC footprints or Y̅-dependent logic. | Choose only for backward compatibility with existing CDIP-based schematics-requires PCB redesign for LCCC migration. |
Compared with SNJ54LS157FK and M38510/30903BEA, the M38510/30903B2A uniquely combines QML-38510 Class B certification, LCCC-20 hermetic packaging, and full Y/Y̅ output support-making it the sole option for new-design DO-178C/DO-254-compliant avionics requiring traceable qualification and dual-output flexibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the M38510/30903B2A?
The M38510/30903B2A has a typical propagation delay of 15 ns, enabling reliable operation up to approximately 33 MHz in synchronous systems. This value is measured under worst-case conditions (VCC = 4.5 V, TA = 125°C) and accounts for both tPLH and tPHL. The M38510/30903B2A does not specify a hard maximum clock frequency, but system-level timing analysis must include setup/hold margins for external flip-flops when used in clocked data paths.
Is the M38510/30903B2A RoHS compliant?
No, the M38510/30903B2A uses SnPb (tin-lead) lead finish and is explicitly marked "No" for RoHS compliance in TI's packaging documentation. It is intended for high-reliability military and aerospace applications where Pb-based soldering is required for thermal fatigue resistance and joint integrity under thermal cycling stress.
Does the M38510/30903B2A include complementary outputs?
Yes, the M38510/30903B2A provides four true outputs (Y) and four complementary outputs (Y̅), accessible on pins 15–19 (Y) and pins 3, 6, 9, 12 (Y̅). This dual-output capability supports wired-OR configurations, differential signaling interfaces, and fault-tolerant logic design-distinct from standard SN74LS157 variants which omit Y̅ pins.
What is the meaning of the "B2A" suffix in M38510/30903B2A?
The "B2A" suffix denotes a specific revision level and screening grade within the MIL-PRF-38535 QML framework: "B" indicates Class B qualification (full conformance to device specification and quality assurance requirements), "2" identifies the design revision, and "A" specifies the particular test flow and lot traceability protocol applied during manufacturing and screening at TI's facility.
Can the M38510/30903B2A be used as a direct replacement for SN74LS157N in commercial designs?
No-the M38510/30903B2A is not a drop-in replacement for SN74LS157N due to fundamental differences: it uses LCCC-20 packaging (vs. PDIP-16), operates over –55°C to +125°C (vs. 0°C to +70°C), requires SnPb soldering, and includes complementary outputs absent in the commercial part. Interfacing would require PCB redesign, thermal validation, and qualification retesting.
