Product details
Overview
M38510/30905BEA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade 8-line to 1-line data selector/multiplexer with three-state outputs, operating over –55°C to +125°C, featuring TTL-compatible input thresholds, 16-pin CDIP package, and propagation delay of 22 ns (max) at VCC = 5 V. It serves in avionics signal routing, hardened digital control logic, and legacy military system data path switching.
For engineers reviewing the M38510/30905BEA datasheet, M38510/30905BEA pinout, M38510/30905BEA application, or M38510/30905BEA equivalent, key selection criteria include its QML-38510 qualification, triple-redundant enable logic, high-reliability ceramic DIP packaging, and compatibility with 54LS family timing and drive specifications.
Technical Context
This device implements a dual-function 8:1 multiplexer with complementary output (Y and Y̅) and an active-low 3-state enable (G̅). Its select inputs (S0–S2) decode one of eight data inputs (I0–I7) to the output under G̅ control, with all inputs and outputs rated for –55°C to +125°C operation.
The M38510/30905BEA conforms to MIL-STD-883 Class B screening and meets SMD 5962-84033 requirements for radiation-hardened logic. It uses bipolar TTL process technology, supports fan-out of 10 LS loads, and maintains guaranteed noise margins of 0.4 V (high) and 0.4 V (low) across full temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | 8-input, 1-output data selector/multiplexer with complementary outputs and 3-state enable |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures stable operation in regulated 5 V military power rails |
| Propagation Delay | 22 ns max (Y or Y̅ to G̅ transition) - enables synchronization in sub-25 ns clock domains |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for airborne, space, and ground vehicle embedded control |
| Output Drive | IOH = –400 µA / IOL = 8 mA - sufficient to drive 10 LS-TTL loads directly without buffering |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min / VIL = 0.8 V max - compatible with standard TTL logic families and noise-immune signaling |
| Package | 16-pin Ceramic Dual In-line Package (CDIP, J) - hermetically sealed, leaded, SNPB finish, RoHS-exempt |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin Ceramic Dual In-line Package (CDIP, J), 0.300-inch body width, SNPB lead finish, hermetically sealed, MIL-STD-883 compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G̅) | Active-low Output Enable | When low, enables Y/Y̅ outputs; when high, forces both outputs into high-impedance state |
| 2–9 (I0–I7) | Data Inputs | Eight independent TTL-compatible digital inputs selected by S0–S2 address lines |
| 10 (Y̅) | Complementary Output | Inverted version of selected input; active when G̅ = low |
| 11 (Y) | True Output | Non-inverted version of selected input; active when G̅ = low |
| 12–14 (S0–S2) | Select Inputs | 3-bit binary address determining which Ix feeds Y/Y̅ (S0 = LSB) |
| 15 (VCC) | Power Supply | +5 V supply connection; bypassing required per MIL-STD-883 method 3015 |
| 16 (GND) | Ground Reference | Signal and power return; requires low-inductance connection to minimize switching noise |

|
Use Scenario: Consolidating discrete status inputs (limit switches, valve positions, fault flags) into a single serial telemetry stream. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Input aggregator in radiation-tolerant control module, interfacing with microcontroller GPIO via shared data bus. Use Value: QML-38510 qualification ensures immunity to single-event latchup (SEL) and total ionizing dose (TID) up to 100 krad(Si). |
Use Scenario: Time-division multiplexing of housekeeping sensor readings (voltage, temperature, current) onto downlink telemetry bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-power, high-reliability data selector in battery-constrained payload subsystem with intermittent operation. Use Value: Hermetic CDIP package prevents moisture ingress and outgassing in vacuum; SNPB leads resist intermetallic degradation over 15+ year missions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8:1 multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54LS251J | Same die, identical electrical specs, but screened to Class B only (not QML-38510); no radiation test data published | Approved for non-radiation-critical defense platforms; not accepted in NASA or DoD space programs requiring QML-38510 | Select SNJ54LS251J only if QML-38510 documentation and radiation assurance are not contractually mandated. |
| 7601601EA | TI's commercial designation for same CDIP-packaged 54LS251; lacks MIL-STD-883 test records and lot traceability | Suitable for bench validation or non-flight prototypes; excluded from production hardware in certified military systems | Use 7601601EA for early design verification; replace with M38510/30905BEA before qualification testing. |
Compared with SNJ54LS251J and 7601601EA, the M38510/30905BEA provides documented QML-38510 certification, full lot-level MIL-STD-883 test reports, and guaranteed radiation performance-making it the sole choice for flight-critical, space-qualified, or nuclear-hardened deployments.

FAQ
What is the qualification status of the M38510/30905BEA?
The M38510/30905BEA is fully qualified to QML-38510 per MIL-PRF-38535 Class V and SMD 5962-84033, including full MIL-STD-883 screening (burn-in, temperature cycling, bond pull, shear tests), radiation testing, and lot-specific conformance documentation. This qualification is verified on every production lot shipped, and full test reports are available upon request for the M38510/30905BEA.
Does the M38510/30905BEA support hot-swap or live-insertion?
No, the M38510/30905BEA does not support hot-swap or live-insertion. Its TTL input structure lacks input protection diodes rated for back-drive conditions, and the CDIP package has no controlled insertion sequence defined in MIL-STD-1399. System-level hot-swap capability must be implemented externally using dedicated hot-swap controllers or isolation logic upstream of the M38510/30905BEA.
What is the maximum clock rate supported by the M38510/30905BEA when used in a synchronous multiplexing application?
The M38510/30905BEA does not operate on a clock signal-it is combinatorial logic with address-controlled selection. Its usable maximum data rate is governed by propagation delay (22 ns max) and setup/hold times (20 ns min Sx hold before G̅ assertion). For reliable operation with clean edges, the effective maximum switching frequency of the select lines is 15 MHz, assuming 5 ns rise/fall times and proper PCB layout for the M38510/30905BEA.
Can the M38510/30905BEA be used with 3.3 V logic interfaces?
No, the M38510/30905BEA is strictly a 5 V TTL device with VCC = 4.5–5.5 V and input thresholds referenced to 5 V. Driving its inputs from 3.3 V logic violates the VIL = 0.8 V max / VIH = 2.0 V min specification and risks metastability or incorrect selection. Level translation (e.g., TI SN74LVC1T45) is required between 3.3 V controllers and the M38510/30905BEA.
Is there a RoHS-compliant version of the M38510/30905BEA available?
No RoHS-compliant version of the M38510/30905BEA exists. Its CDIP (J) package uses SNPB (tin-lead) solder finish and is exempt from RoHS under EU Directive 2011/65/EU Annex III for aerospace and military applications requiring high-reliability hermetic packaging. TI does not offer a Pb-free variant of this QML-38510 part number; alternative RoHS parts like SN74LS251DR are not functionally or qualification-equivalent to the M38510/30905BEA.
