Product details
Overview
M38510/34701B2A from Texas Instruments is a military-grade 8-bit identity comparator IC that performs binary or BCD word equality comparison with active-low P = Q output and three-state enable control. It operates across −55°C to 125°C, supports 5 V supply, delivers 20 mA low-level output drive, and features 6.6 ns typical propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) under 50 pF load.
For engineers reviewing the M38510/34701B2A datasheet, M38510/34701B2A pinout, M38510/34701B2A application, or M38510/34701B2A equivalent, this device is selected for high-reliability digital systems requiring precise word-matching logic in avionics, missile guidance, and hardened computing where temperature stability and MIL-PRF-38535 compliance are mandatory.
Technical Context
This comparator implements parallel 8-bit equality detection using TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2 V) and open-collector–compatible output structure. Its OE-controlled three-state output enables bus sharing in multi-device configurations without external gating logic.
The internal architecture compares corresponding P₀–P₇ and Q₀–Q₇ bits via cascaded NAND/NOR gates, asserting P = Q only when all eight bit pairs match. Propagation delays are symmetric for rising/falling edges (tPLH ≈ tPHL), and output drive capability (IOL = 20 mA) supports direct interface to TTL loads without buffering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | 8-bit identity comparator with P = Q output and output enable (OE) |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V TTL power rails |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to 125°C - qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 Class B for extended military environments |
| Propagation Delay | 6.6 ns typical (tPLH/tPHL, VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF) - enables ≤150 MHz system clock domain synchronization |
| Output Drive | 20 mA sink current (IOL) - directly drives multiple TTL inputs or LED indicators |
| Input Thresholds | VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V - ensures noise margin >0.4 V in 5 V TTL systems |
| Power Dissipation | 32 mA ICC max at VCC = 5.5 V - supports thermal design in dense LCCC 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, solderable metallized terminations, designed for hermetic sealing and high-reliability mounting.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 | P₀–P₃, Q₀–Q₃ | First four bits of each 8-bit operand - arranged in interleaved P/Q order for minimized trace skew |
| 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 | P₄–P₇, Q₄–Q₇ | Upper four bits of each operand - symmetrical layout preserves signal integrity across full word width |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all logic and output stages - dedicated terminal minimizes ground bounce |
| 20 | VCC | +5 V supply input - decoupling capacitor placement adjacent to this pin is critical for noise immunity |
| 19 | OE | Active-low output enable - disables P = Q output to high-impedance state for bus arbitration |
| 3 | P = Q | Active-low equality output - asserted low only when all eight P/Q bit pairs match exactly |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MIL-PRF-38535 Class B qualification | Guarantees performance across −55°C to 125°C with lot traceability and radiation hardness screening |
| Three-state output control | OE pin allows dynamic bus sharing without external tri-state buffers or multiplexers |
| Interleaved P/Q pin arrangement | Reduces inter-pair skew and crosstalk in high-speed parallel data paths |
| 20 mA output sink capability | Drives up to 10 standard TTL loads directly, eliminating need for output stage amplification |
| Low propagation delay variation | ±1.3 ns max delay mismatch between P/Q inputs ensures deterministic timing across all 8 bits |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit identity comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54F521FK | Identical electrical specs, same FK LCCC package, but marked per JAN specification with different lot trace format | No functional difference; used interchangeably in DoD procurement where JAN vs. M38510 documentation lineage matters | Select SNJ54F521FK if contract requires JAN-certified pedigree over M38510 baseline |
| 5962-9759101Q2A | Same die, identical FK package, but screened to QML-38535 Class V with enhanced radiation tolerance (100 krad(Si)) | Required for spaceflight or high-altitude nuclear environments where total ionizing dose exceeds 50 krad(Si) | Choose 5962-9759101Q2A when radiation hardness beyond standard Class B is mandated |
Compared with M38510/34701B2A, SNJ54F521FK offers identical performance with alternate military documentation lineage, while 5962-9759101Q2A adds radiation hardening for space-grade deployment - neither is pin-compatible with commercial SN74F521 variants due to differing temperature and reliability specifications.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range certified for M38510/34701B2A?
M38510/34701B2A is fully characterized and qualified for continuous operation from −55°C to 125°C per MIL-PRF-38535 Class B requirements. This range is verified through temperature cycling, steady-state burn-in, and parametric testing at both extremes - not extrapolated or derated. The M38510/34701B2A maintains specified propagation delay, output drive, and logic thresholds across this full interval without performance degradation.
Does M38510/34701B2A support 3.3 V logic interfaces?
No, M38510/34701B2A is strictly a 5 V TTL device with VIL = 0.8 V and VIH = 2.0 V thresholds, and absolute maximum VI = −1.2 V to 7 V. It does not meet 3.3 V logic level compatibility requirements. Interfacing with 3.3 V systems requires level-shifting circuitry - the M38510/34701B2A itself cannot be operated from or directly driven by 3.3 V supplies or signals without violating its recommended operating conditions.
What package type is used for M38510/34701B2A?
M38510/34701B2A uses the LCCC (Leadless Ceramic Chip Carrier) package designated FK, with 20 terminals, 8.89 mm × 8.89 mm body size, 1.27 mm pitch, and 2.03 mm maximum height. This hermetic ceramic package is specified in MIL-STD-883 and supports high-reliability mounting via solder reflow or conductive epoxy, with no leads to bend or fatigue.
How does the OE pin function on M38510/34701B2A?
The OE (Output Enable) pin on M38510/34701B2A is active-low: when OE = LOW, the P = Q output is enabled and drives actively; when OE = HIGH, the P = Q output enters high-impedance state. This allows multiple M38510/34701B2A devices to share a common bus line without contention - only the device with OE asserted will drive the line, making it essential for modular comparator arrays in large-scale digital systems.
Is M38510/34701B2A RoHS compliant?
No, M38510/34701B2A is not RoHS compliant. Its lead finish is specified as SNPB (tin-lead), and the packaging documentation explicitly states "RoHS: No". This reflects its qualification under legacy military specifications (MIL-PRF-38535) where leaded finishes are retained for solder joint reliability in high-vibration, thermal-cycling, and hermetic-seal applications - consistent with exemptions under EU Directive 2011/65/EU Annex III.
