M38510/07003BCA

Inverter Gates Overview

The Texas Instruments M38510/07003BCA is a military-grade hex inverter manufactured under the SN5404 specification. It contains six independent inverters housed in a 14-pin ceramic dual in-line package (CDIP). The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports an operating temperature range from -55 °C to 125 °C. Key electrical characteristics include a high-level output current of -0.4 mA, a low-level output current of 16 mA, and propagation delays ranging from 8 ns to 22 ns at a 5 V supply.

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify that the component matches the exact MIL-M-38510 specification and CDIP-14 package configuration. Confirm the manufacturer source is authorized for military-grade semiconductors. Ensure the part marking corresponds to the specific revision and lot trace codes required for defense applications. Validate RoHS exemption status if applicable to the procurement contract.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring high noise immunity and radiation tolerance typical of Series 54 logic. Compare against commercial Series 74 variants only if environmental constraints allow. Verify that the input/output voltage levels align with the system's 5 V logic standards. Consider the thermal impedance of the ceramic package during PCB layout planning.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the SN5404 family of hex inverters, which are fundamental building blocks in digital electronics. The M38510 designation indicates compliance with the US Military Standard for Microcircuits, ensuring higher reliability and stricter testing than commercial equivalents. It serves as a direct replacement for other military-specification inverters meeting the same functional requirements.
