M38510/00801BCA

Overview

The M38510/00801BCA is a hex inverter buffer/driver with open-collector high-voltage outputs, manufactured by Texas Instruments. It belongs to the SN5406 family and features a 14-pin ceramic dual in-line package (CDIP). The device operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and requires a supply voltage between 4.5 V and 5.5 V. It provides a minimum breakdown voltage of 30 V on its outputs and supports a maximum sink current of 30 mA.

Feature Summary

• Hex inverter buffers/drivers featuring open-collector high-voltage outputs for interfacing with high-level circuits or driving high-current loads
• Inputs are fully compatible with most TTL circuits, simplifying system design through integrated input clamping diodes
• High sink-current capability allows direct driving of indicator lamps and relays without additional buffering components

Applications

• Converting TTL voltage levels to MOS logic levels
• Driving high-current loads such as indicator lamps and relays
• Acting as inverter buffers for driving standard TTL inputs

Procurement Notes

Verify that the component matches the specific MIL-M-38510 military specification requirements. Confirm the CDIP package integrity and lead finish details against the datasheet specifications. Ensure the operating temperature range aligns with your application's environmental constraints before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-voltage open-collector outputs are required for interfacing with MOS circuits or heavy loads. The SN5406 variant specifically offers a 30 V breakdown voltage, distinguishing it from the 15 V SN5416. Consider the 14-pin CDIP package for applications requiring hermetic sealing and extended temperature operation.
