Product details
Overview
M38510/65802BEA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade 3-line to 8-line decoder/demultiplexer in CDIP-16 package, operating across –55°C to +125°C, with 15 ns typical propagation delay at 6 V, ±4-mA output drive, and active-low outputs enabling high-speed memory decoding and data routing in radiation-tolerant systems.
For engineers reviewing the M38510/65802BEA datasheet, M38510/65802BEA pinout, M38510/65802BEA application, or M38510/65802BEA equivalent, this device serves as a drop-in replacement for SN54HC138J in defense avionics, spaceflight payload controllers, and hardened industrial control backplanes requiring MIL-PRF-38535 Class B compliance and extended temperature operation.
Technical Context
The M38510/65802BEA implements a 3-bit binary input (A, B, C) to select one of eight active-low outputs (Y0–Y7), with three enable inputs: one active-high (G1) and two active-low (G2A, G2B). All enables must be asserted for output activation - any disabled enable forces all outputs high.
It uses silicon-gate CMOS technology with balanced output drive, supports cascading without external inverters via enable chaining, and features low input current (≤1 µA max) and low quiescent ICC (≤160 µA at VCC = 6 V), making it suitable for low-power, high-reliability decoding in mission-critical timing paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | 3-to-8 line decoder / demultiplexer with active-low outputs and triple enable logic |
| Supply Voltage | 2 V to 6 V - compatible with legacy 5-V TTL and modern 3.3-V mixed-signal systems |
| Propagation Delay | 15 ns typical (VCC = 6 V) - enables sub-67-MHz clock domain interfacing without pipeline stalls |
| Output Drive | ±4 mA at 5 V - sufficient to directly drive LSTTL loads or interface with discrete FET gates |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 for aerospace and defense embedded systems |
| Package | CDIP-16 (J package), 21.34 mm × 6.92 mm - through-hole, hermetically sealed, leaded for high-reliability solder joints |
| Input Leakage | ±1000 nA max - ensures stable enable state under high-impedance biasing in low-power sleep modes |
Pinout & Package
CDIP-16 (J) package: 16-pin ceramic dual in-line, hermetically sealed, with 0.3-inch row spacing and 0.1-inch pin pitch. Designed for wave soldering and high-vibration environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (A) | Select input A (LSB) | Binary address bit 0 - determines output selection when all enables are active |
| 2 (B) | Select input B | Binary address bit 1 - used with A and C to decode full 3-bit address space |
| 3 (C) | Select input C (MSB) | Binary address bit 2 - completes 3-bit input vector for Y0–Y7 mapping |
| 4 (G2A) | Active-low enable A | Primary enable path; pulled low to activate decoder function when G2B and G1 are also asserted |
| 5 (G2B) | Active-low enable B | Secondary enable; both G2A and G2B must be low for outputs to respond to A/B/C |
| 6 (G1) | Active-high enable | Third enable; must be high to permit decoding - allows hierarchical enable tree construction |
| 7 (Y7) | Output 7 (MSB) | Active-low decoded output - sinks current when selected; used for highest-addressed peripheral enable |
| 8 (GND) | Ground reference | Signal and power return path - requires low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce |
| 9 (Y6) | Output 6 | Active-low output - drives column select in LED matrix or chip-select for memory bank #6 |
| 10 (Y5) | Output 5 | Active-low output - enables peripheral addressing in multi-drop bus arbitration logic |
| 11 (Y4) | Output 4 | Active-low output - used in interrupt vector decoding for priority-encoded IRQ lines |
| 12 (Y3) | Output 3 | Active-low output - selects analog mux channel or FPGA configuration bank |
| 13 (Y2) | Output 2 | Active-low output - controls power rail sequencing in multi-rail PMIC subsystems |
| 14 (Y1) | Output 1 | Active-low output - triggers watchdog reset pulse or status LED driver |
| 15 (Y0) | Output 0 (LSB) | Active-low output - commonly used for boot device selection or primary I/O expander enable |
| 16 (VCC) | Positive supply | CMOS core voltage rail - requires local 0.1-µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed within 5 mm |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 3-to-8 decoder applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN54HC138J | Same CDIP-16 package and pinout; identical electrical specs but commercial-grade screening (no MIL-PRF-38535 qualification) | Lacks radiation hardness assurance and extended temperature validation - unsuitable for flight or nuclear environments | Select only for ground-test fixtures or non-mission-critical prototypes where cost is prioritized over qualification |
| SNJ54HC138J | Identical die and CDIP-16 package; screened to JANTXV level (MIL-PRF-38535 Class V), higher reliability than M38510/65802BEA but same temp range | Higher screening rigor increases cost and lead time; used where single-event effect (SEE) immunity is required beyond Class B | Choose when system-level radiation testing mandates JANTXV-level confidence - e.g., geosynchronous orbit payloads |
