Product details
Overview
M38510/33701B2A from Texas Instruments is a military-grade 3-line-to-8-line decoder/demultiplexer in LCCC-20 package, featuring three enable inputs (G1 active-high, G2A/G2B active-low), propagation delays as low as 2.7 ns (tPLH), 20 mA output sink current, and operation across –55°C to 125°C for high-reliability memory decoding in aerospace avionics systems.
For engineers reviewing the M38510/33701B2A datasheet, M38510/33701B2A pinout, M38510/33701B2A application, or M38510/33701B2A equivalent, this device serves as a radiation-tolerant, QML-qualified logic building block for mission-critical address decoding, data routing, and demultiplexing where deterministic timing, cascading capability, and extended temperature stability are mandatory.
Technical Context
The M38510/33701B2A implements positive-logic decoding with binary-select inputs A, B, C and three independent enables-G1 (active-high), G2A and G2B (both active-low)-enabling flexible cascading without external inverters. Its internal architecture drives eight complementary outputs (Y0–Y7) with open-collector-compatible TTL-level drive strength.
It operates strictly within 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply range and meets MIL-PRF-38535 Class B requirements. All timing parameters-including tPLH/tPHL on select and enable paths-are characterized over full military temperature range and specified at CL = 50 pF, RL = 500 Ω.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 3-line-to-8-line decoder applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54F138FK | Identical electrical specs, same LCCC-20 package, identical pinout and marking; differs only in part numbering convention and lot trace format per TI's military ordering system | No functional difference; used interchangeably in new designs and legacy repair programs governed by MIL-STD-1168 | Select SNJ54F138FK if procurement documentation requires TI's standard military part number prefix rather than JAN/M38510 nomenclature |
| M38510/33701BEA | Same logic function and temperature range, but packaged in 16-pin CDIP (J) instead of LCCC-20; 4 fewer pins, different footprint and thermal profile | Suitable for through-hole prototyping or legacy board rework where LCCC reflow capability is unavailable, but not for new surface-mount designs requiring hermeticity | Choose M38510/33701BEA only when board assembly infrastructure lacks LCCC reflow support or when mechanical mounting constraints prohibit LCCC height |
Compared with SNJ54F138FK, M38510/33701B2A offers identical performance but aligns with DoD logistics identifiers; versus M38510/33701BEA, it trades through-hole serviceability for superior thermal dissipation, EMI immunity, and long-term reliability in vibration-prone platforms.

FAQ
What is the maximum propagation delay of the M38510/33701B2A under worst-case military conditions?
The M38510/33701B2A exhibits a maximum propagation delay of 12.5 ns (tPHL, G1→Y) when operated at VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF, and TA = –55°C or 125°C. This value is confirmed in the SDFS051B datasheet's "Switching Characteristics" table and applies to all LCCC-20 packaged variants including M38510/33701B2A. The delay remains stable across temperature extremes due to TI's bipolar F process optimization.
Does the M38510/33701B2A require external pull-up resistors on its Y0–Y7 outputs?
Yes, the M38510/33701B2A features active-low, open-collector–like outputs that require external pull-up resistors to VCC to establish defined high-state logic levels. Typical values range from 1 kΩ to 4.7 kΩ depending on capacitive load and rise-time requirements. This design enables wired-OR functionality and direct interfacing with multiple TTL inputs, as documented in the "Recommended Operating Conditions" section of the SDFS051B datasheet.
Is the M38510/33701B2A RoHS compliant?
No, the M38510/33701B2A uses SnPb (tin-lead) lead finish and is explicitly marked "No" for RoHS compliance in TI's official packaging addendum. It is manufactured to MIL-PRF-38535 requirements and intended for applications where exemption from RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU is permitted, such as defense, aerospace, and safety-critical infrastructure systems.
Can the M38510/33701B2A be used as a 1-to-8 demultiplexer?
Yes, the M38510/33701B2A functions as a 1-to-8 demultiplexer by using G1 as the data input and A, B, C as select lines. When G1 is driven with the input signal and G2A/G2B are held inactive (high), the selected Yx output replicates the G1 logic state while others remain high. This mode is explicitly supported in the datasheet's functional description and verified in the "Function Table" for all valid select combinations.
What is the meaning of "B2A" in the M38510/33701B2A part number?
"B2A" is the device revision and configuration code assigned under the JAN/MIL-PRF-38535 specification. It denotes a specific wafer lot, test flow, and screening level within the M38510/33701 product family. Per TI's military datasheet addendum, B2A corresponds to the LCCC-20 (FK) package variant with full Class B qualification, and is distinct from BEA (CDIP) and BFA (CFP) suffixes which indicate alternate packages.
