Product details
Overview
TIBPAL20R4-20MJTB from Texas Instruments is a military-grade registered programmable array logic (PAL) device with 12 inputs, 4 registered 3-state outputs, and a maximum clock frequency of 41.6 MHz. It features power-up clear, asynchronous preload capability, and operates across −55°C to 125°C. Used in legacy aerospace, defense, and industrial control systems for custom synchronous logic implementation.
For engineers reviewing the TIBPAL20R4-20MJTB datasheet, TIBPAL20R4-20MJTB pinout, TIBPAL20R4-20MJTB application, or TIBPAL20R4-20MJTB equivalent, key selection considerations include its 24-pin CDIP package, military temperature rating, registered output timing behavior, and compatibility with standard PAL programming tools and fuse-based configuration workflows.
Technical Context
This device implements a fixed-architecture 20-pin universal PAL with 4 registered outputs driven by a common clock (Pin 1) and output enable (Pin 13). Its logic plane consists of a 40 × 64 programmable AND array feeding D-type flip-flops with synchronous reset and asynchronous preload.
It supports TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V), delivers ±12 mA output drive, and exhibits propagation delays as low as 8 ns (CLK→Q) under military conditions. The device requires external programming voltage (VIHH = 10.25–10.75 V) applied to Pin 13 during preload operations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Type | Registered PAL with 4 synchronous 3-state outputs and 12 dedicated inputs |
| Max Clock Frequency | 41.6 MHz without feedback - sets upper limit for synchronous state-machine operation |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to 125°C - qualified for extended military and harsh-environment applications |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5-V TTL systems with margin for rail variation |
| Propagation Delay | 8–15 ns (CLK→Q) - determines minimum clock period and setup/hold timing margins |
| Output Drive | IOL = 12 mA, IOH = −2 mA - sufficient to directly drive multiple TTL loads without buffers |
| Power Consumption | ICC ≤ 180 mA - defines thermal budget in dense logic assemblies; no dynamic power spec given |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-pin ceramic dual in-line package (CDIP, JT suffix), hermetically sealed, leaded SNPB finish, non-RoHS compliant, rated for −55°C to 125°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | CLK | Positive-edge-triggered clock input controlling all 4 register outputs |
| 2–12 | I | Dedicated input pins (11 total); no internal feedback paths per datasheet diagram |
| 13 | OE | Active-low output enable controlling 3-state behavior of all Q outputs |
| 14 | GND | Ground reference for logic and power return |
| 15–18 | Q | Registered 3-state outputs (Q1–Q4); each individually pre-loadable and power-up cleared |
| 19–22 | I/O | Not applicable - TIBPAL20R4 has zero bidirectional I/O ports (unlike R6/R8 variants) |
| 23 | VCC | +5 V supply pin; decoupling required per MIL-STD-1399 guidelines |
| 24 | NC | No internal connection - must be left unconnected per datasheet |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Power-Up Clear | All Q outputs reset to logic low at power-on, simplifying state-machine initialization without external reset circuitry |
| Asynchronous Preload | Each Q output can be forced to high or low via Pin 13 and data on corresponding Q pin - enables deterministic test-state entry |
| Military Temperature Range | Qualified from −55°C to 125°C per MIL-PRF-38535, supporting deployment in avionics and ground vehicle ECUs |
| Programmable Logic Density | 40 × 64 fused-AND array provides up to 64 product terms per macrocell - sufficient for medium-complexity combinatorial+sequential functions |
| TTL-Compatible Interface | Meets standard TTL VIH/VIL, VOH/VOL, and drive specs - interoperable with legacy 74LS/AS logic families |
Applications
| Avionics Control Logic | Secure Communication Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar registered PAL applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JM38510/50501BLA | MIL-PRF-38535 Class B qualified; identical pinout, timing, and logic architecture; same CDIP-24 package | Same military application scope; differs only in part numbering convention and procurement channel (DSCC vs TI branded) | Select when DSCC-qualified sourcing or DoD contract compliance is mandatory |
| TIBPAL20R4-20MFDB | LCCC-28 ceramic package instead of CDIP-24; identical electrical specs and functionality; different pin mapping | Suitable for surface-mount board designs requiring higher I/O density and improved thermal performance | Select when PCB layout uses LCCC footprints or requires enhanced vibration resistance |
Compared with JM38510/50501BLA and TIBPAL20R4-20MFDB, the TIBPAL20R4-20MJTB offers identical logic functionality and military temperature operation but is uniquely optimized for through-hole CDIP assembly, legacy repair programs, and systems where JEDEC-standard pinout and mechanical form factor are required.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the TIBPAL20R4-20MJTB?
The TIBPAL20R4-20MJTB supports a maximum clock frequency of 41.6 MHz without feedback, as specified in the switching characteristics table for the M-suffix military series. This value is measured under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 5 V, TA = 25°C) and represents the highest guaranteed toggle rate for synchronous register operation in the TIBPAL20R4-20MJTB.
Does the TIBPAL20R4-20MJTB require external programming hardware?
Yes, the TIBPAL20R4-20MJTB requires external programming hardware capable of delivering VIHH = 10.25–10.75 V to Pin 13 during fuse programming or preload operations. Standard industry programmers supporting TI PAL devices - such as Data I/O PS-20 or BP Microsystems Model 2000 - are compatible with the TIBPAL20R4-20MJTB.
How does the power-up clear function behave on the TIBPAL20R4-20MJTB?
On the TIBPAL20R4-20MJTB, all four registered outputs (Q1–Q4) are asynchronously forced low following power application, provided VCC rise is monotonic. This occurs independently of clock or enable states and ensures deterministic initial conditions for state machines - a core design feature confirmed in Figure 2 and Section 14 of the SRPS021A datasheet.
Can the TIBPAL20R4-20MJTB be used in place of the commercial-grade TIBPAL20R4-15C?
No - the TIBPAL20R4-20MJTB is not a drop-in replacement for the TIBPAL20R4-15C due to differences in temperature range (−55°C to 125°C vs 0°C to 75°C), timing specifications (41.6 MHz vs 45 MHz max), and supply voltage tolerance (4.5–5.5 V vs 4.75–5.25 V). While functionally identical, the TIBPAL20R4-20MJTB must be validated separately for commercial applications.
What is the purpose of Pin 24 on the TIBPAL20R4-20MJTB?
Pin 24 on the TIBPAL20R4-20MJTB is designated NC (No Connection) and contains no internal bond wire or circuit connection. Per the official Texas Instruments datasheet (SRPS021A, page 6), this pin must remain unconnected in all PCB layouts to avoid unintended coupling or mechanical stress - a requirement strictly enforced in MIL-STD-883 screening.
