Product details
Overview
M38510/65702BCA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade hex inverter IC with Schmitt-trigger inputs, performing Y = A logic inversion across six independent channels. It operates from 2 V to 6 V supply voltage, supports –55°C to +125°C temperature range, delivers ≤26 ns propagation delay at 6 V, and is used for switch debouncing, clock synchronization, and digital signal inversion in ruggedized systems.
For engineers reviewing the M38510/65702BCA datasheet, M38510/65702BCA pinout, M38510/65702BCA application, or M38510/65702BCA equivalent, key selection criteria include its 54HC logic family compliance, CDIP (14) hermetic ceramic package, guaranteed operation over full military temperature range, and Schmitt-trigger hysteresis enabling robust noise immunity on slow-rising inputs.
Technical Context
This device implements six identical CMOS inverters, each featuring balanced push-pull outputs capable of sourcing/sinking up to ±25 mA and exhibiting 0.5–2.5 V hysteresis (ΔVT) depending on VCC. Its input structure includes clamping diodes for ESD protection and supports fanout of up to 10 LSTTL loads.
The M38510/65702BCA conforms to the SN54HC14 specification per MIL-PRF-38535 Class B, with absolute maximum ratings including 7 V supply voltage, ±20 mA clamp current, and 150°C junction temperature - confirming suitability for high-reliability aerospace and defense applications requiring extended thermal and electrical margins.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Switch Debounce Circuit | Asynchronous Clock Synchronization |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Mechanical pushbutton or toggle switch interfaced to microcontroller GPIO with contact bounce causing false interrupts. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inverter channel acts as noise-immune signal conditioner - converts erratic switch transitions into clean digital edges. Use Value: Eliminates need for software debouncing or RC filters; reduces firmware complexity and interrupt latency in real-time control loops. | Use Scenario: Synchronizing an external asynchronous clock domain (e.g., sensor sampling clock) to a system master clock. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inverter provides precise edge inversion to generate complementary timing reference for flip-flop-based synchronizers. Use Value: Ensures setup/hold time compliance for metastability-hardened clock domain crossing - improves system uptime in avionics data acquisition. |
| Digital Signal Level Translation | Ruggedized Sensor Interface |
Use Scenario: Converting TTL-compatible logic levels (0.8 V/2.0 V thresholds) to CMOS-compatible levels (0.3×VCC/0.7×VCC) in mixed-voltage systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inverter performs bidirectional level adaptation via Schmitt-trigger hysteresis and rail-to-rail output swing. Use Value: Enables interoperability between legacy 5 V peripherals and modern 3.3 V processors without dedicated level translators. | Use Scenario: Conditioning analog sensor outputs (e.g., thermistor comparator, proximity detector) subject to EMI in vehicle-mounted or airborne environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inverter serves as hardened digital buffer - accepts slow-rising, noisy analog comparator outputs and delivers clean CMOS logic levels. Use Value: Maintains functional integrity under radiated emissions >10 V/m and conducted transients per MIL-STD-461 - critical for mission-critical sensing. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex inverter with Schmitt-trigger applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN54HC14J | Same die, plastic CDIP package - not hermetically sealed; lower moisture resistance and thermal cycling endurance | Limited to commercial/military non-flight applications where MIL-PRF-38535 Class B is not mandated | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs long-term reliability requirements in ground-based test equipment |
| 74ACT14SCX | Faster propagation delay (≤10 ns at 5 V); higher drive strength (±24 mA); but narrower VCC range (4.5–5.5 V only) | Better suited for high-speed clock distribution; unsuitable for wide-input-voltage or battery-powered systems | Choose for 5 V-only systems demanding sub-10 ns timing precision and higher fanout capability |
Compared with SN54HC14J and 74ACT14SCX, the M38510/65702BCA uniquely combines hermetic CDIP packaging, full military temperature range, and 2–6 V operation - making it the only option qualified for embedded flight control and missile guidance subsystems requiring zero field failures.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range specified for the M38510/65702BCA?
The M38510/65702BCA is rated for operation from –55°C to +125°C, fully compliant with MIL-PRF-38535 Class B requirements. This range is validated through temperature cycling, burn-in, and parametric testing across the entire lot - ensuring consistent performance in engine bay, radar pod, and satellite payload environments where ambient extremes exceed commercial-grade limits. The M38510/65702BCA maintains specified propagation delay and hysteresis values across this full span.
Does the M38510/65702BCA require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
No, unused inputs on the M38510/65702BCA must be tied directly to VCC or GND - not left floating - but do not require external resistors due to its Schmitt-trigger architecture. The internal input threshold hysteresis prevents oscillation even with slow-rising or noisy signals, eliminating the need for pull resistors in most cases. However, if an input may be disconnected during operation, a 10-kΩ resistor is recommended to guarantee defined logic state. This behavior is confirmed in the M38510/65702BCA functional description and layout guidelines.
What is the typical propagation delay of the M38510/65702BCA at 5 V supply?
At VCC = 5 V and TA = 25°C, the M38510/65702BCA exhibits a typical propagation delay (tpd) of 25 ns, with a maximum of 31 ns over the full –55°C to +125°C operating range. This value is measured from input transition (50% point) to output transition (50% point) under standard load conditions (CL = 50 pF). The M38510/65702BCA datasheet specifies this delay for both rising and falling edges, confirming symmetrical switching performance essential for clock inversion and timing-critical debounce functions.
Can the M38510/65702BCA drive a 70 pF capacitive load while maintaining timing specifications?
Yes, the M38510/65702BCA is characterized to drive up to 70 pF capacitive load while meeting all published timing and voltage specifications, including propagation delay and output transition time. This limit is explicitly stated in the application design guidelines for the M38510/65702BCA and verified across temperature and voltage extremes. Exceeding 70 pF may increase tpd and tt beyond datasheet maxima; for larger loads, a series current-limiting resistor is recommended to maintain compliance with absolute maximum output current ratings.
Is the M38510/65702BCA pin-compatible with commercial SN74HC14 variants?
The M38510/65702BCA shares identical pinout and logic function with SN74HC14 and SN54HC14 devices in CDIP (14) packages, including pin assignments for all six input/output pairs, VCC, and GND. However, it is not a drop-in replacement for plastic-package variants due to differences in thermal resistance, moisture sensitivity, and screening requirements. The M38510/65702BCA must be mounted using hermetic sealing protocols and qualified reflow profiles appropriate for ceramic DIP - distinct from commercial SOIC or TSSOP assembly processes.
