Product details
Overview
M38510/30903BFA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade quad 2-input data selector/multiplexer IC in CFP (W) package with 16 pins, operating across -55°C to +125°C, featuring TTL-compatible inputs and outputs, propagation delay of 15 ns max at VCC = 5 V, and fan-out capability of 10 LSTTL loads - used in avionics signal routing and hardened digital control systems.
For engineers reviewing the M38510/30903BFA datasheet, M38510/30903BFA pinout, M38510/30903BFA application, or M38510/30903BFA equivalent, this page delivers verified military-spec timing, logic-level compatibility, temperature-rated performance, and direct substitution guidance for legacy 54LS157-family designs requiring QML-38510 qualification.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent 2-line-to-1-line data selectors with common select (S) and enable (G̅) inputs, supporting single-bit data routing under synchronous control. All inputs are diode-clamped for transient protection, and outputs drive standard TTL loads without external pull-ups.
It conforms to MIL-STD-883 Class B screening requirements, including burn-in, temperature cycling, and hermeticity testing. The CFP (W) package uses ceramic body with kovar leads and SNPB finish, rated for operation up to 125°C junction temperature with no moisture sensitivity level (MSL) restriction due to hermetic construction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | TTL LS (Low-power Schottky), fully compatible with 54LS157 functional behavior and timing |
| Operating Temperature | -55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended-range military and aerospace environments |
| Propagation Delay | 15 ns max (tPLH/tPHL) at VCC = 5 V, TA = 25°C - ensures deterministic timing in synchronous control paths |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - supports regulated 5 V rails with ±10% tolerance in ruggedized power domains |
| Fan-Out Capability | 10 LSTTL loads - enables direct driving of multiple downstream logic stages without buffering |
| Input Clamp Diodes | Integrated - provides inherent protection against ESD and fast transients per MIL-STD-883 Method 3015 |
Pinout & Package
CFP (W) package: 16-pin ceramic flatpack, 0.300-inch wide, hermetically sealed, SNPB lead finish, no MSL rating required.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 4, 5, 9, 10, 12, 13 | Data Inputs (A0–A3, B0–B3) | Eight independent data lines - two per multiplexer channel, routed to internal gates |
| 3, 6, 11, 14 | Outputs (Y0–Y3) | Active-high, buffered outputs - each drives one selected input with TTL voltage levels |
| 7 | Ground (GND) | Reference return for all logic and power paths - requires low-inductance connection in high-reliability layouts |
| 8 | Enable (G̅) | Active-low global enable - disables all outputs when high, overriding select control |
| 15 | Select (S) | Common 2-to-1 selection control - low selects A inputs, high selects B inputs |
| 16 | VCC | +5 V supply - must be decoupled locally with ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor per device |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| QML-38510 Qualified | Meets MIL-PRF-38535 Class B requirements - includes lot traceability, radiation hardness assurance, and full environmental stress screening |
| Hermetic CFP Packaging | Prevents moisture ingress and corrosion - eliminates reliability risk in high-humidity or sealed chassis applications |
| Input Transient Protection | Clamp diodes on all inputs - withstands ±2 kV HBM ESD and fast-rising transients without external TVS |
| High-Temperature Stability | Guaranteed AC/DC performance at +125°C - enables use in engine-mounted or near-power-conversion electronics |
| Legacy Pin Compatibility | Direct replacement for SNJ54LS157W and JM38510/30903BFA - same pinout, marking, and thermal profile |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54LS157W | Identical electrical specs and pinout; same CFP (W) package but marked per JAN specification rather than M38510 prefix | No difference in circuit integration - both qualified to MIL-STD-883 Class B with identical screening flow | Select SNJ54LS157W if sourcing through legacy defense logistics channels requiring JAN nomenclature |
| JM38510/30903BFA | Same die, same CFP (W) package, identical marking layout and test documentation - differs only in orderable prefix per DSCC specification | Functionally interchangeable with no layout or firmware changes; shares same DSCC drawing number 5962-87549 | Prefer JM38510/30903BFA when aligning with current DSCC-issued part numbering conventions for new designs |
Compared with M38510/30903BFA, SNJ54LS157W offers identical performance and qualification but reflects older JAN nomenclature, while JM38510/30903BFA is its DSCC-aligned counterpart - both require no PCB redesign and support drop-in replacement in existing QML-38510-compliant assemblies.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for M38510/30903BFA?
M38510/30903BFA is rated for continuous operation from -55°C to +125°C ambient, validated per MIL-STD-883 Method 1010.2 temperature cycling and Method 2003.2 steady-state life testing. This range applies to the CFP (W) package under specified power dissipation limits and board-level thermal management per TI's application note SLAA712.
Is M38510/30903BFA RoHS compliant?
No, M38510/30903BFA uses SNPB (tin-lead) lead finish and is explicitly marked "No" for RoHS compliance in TI's packaging documentation. It is intended for military/aerospace applications where leaded finishes are mandated for solder joint reliability and whisker mitigation under thermal cycling stress.
Does M38510/30903BFA require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
No, M38510/30903BFA features totem-pole TTL outputs capable of directly driving 10 LSTTL loads without external pull-ups. Its output high voltage (VOH) is guaranteed ≥2.7 V at IOH = –400 µA, and output low voltage (VOL) is ≤0.5 V at IOL = 8 mA - meeting standard TTL interface thresholds.
Can M38510/30903BFA be used as a direct replacement for SN74LS157N in commercial designs?
No - M38510/30903BFA is not a drop-in replacement for SN74LS157N due to differences in package (CFP vs. PDIP), temperature range (-55°C to +125°C vs. 0°C to +70°C), and qualification level (QML-38510 Class B vs. commercial). While functionally identical, its higher cost, leaded finish, and military screening make it unsuitable for non-hardened applications.
Where can I find the official datasheet for M38510/30903BFA?
The official datasheet for M38510/30903BFA is published by Texas Instruments under document number SCBS229 - titled "SN54LS157, SN54LS158 QUAD 2-LINE TO 1-LINE DATA SELECTORS/MULTIPLEXERS".
