Product details
Overview
5962-0051204QPA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade, rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier in the TLV246x family, specified for −55°C to 125°C operation. It delivers 6.4 MHz gain-bandwidth product, 1.6 V/µs slew rate, ±80 mA output drive, 100 µV max input offset voltage (at 25°C), and 11 nV/√Hz input noise voltage - enabling high-fidelity signal conditioning in precision analog front-ends for aerospace data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the 5962-0051204QPA datasheet, 5962-0051204QPA pinout, 5962-0051204QPA application, or 5962-0051204QPA equivalent, this device is selected for low-power, high-output-drive rail-to-rail performance in extended-temperature military sensor interfaces, ADC buffering, and ruggedized instrumentation where supply current ≤500 µA/channel and shutdown current ≤0.3 µA/channel are critical.
Technical Context
The 5962-0051204QPA implements a CMOS input stage with rail-to-rail common-mode input range (0 V to VDD) and rail-to-rail output swing, supporting single-supply operation from 2.7 V to 6 V. Its internal architecture enables stable unity-gain operation with ≥44° phase margin into 160 pF capacitive loads.
It integrates a dedicated SHDN terminal that places the amplifier in ultralow-current mode (0.3 µA/channel), forcing output to high-impedance state without affecting biasing of external circuitry - essential for power-gated subsystems in space-qualified avionics.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 6.4 MHz - supports closed-loop bandwidth up to ~5.2 MHz at AV = 1, suitable for anti-aliasing and reconstruction filters. |
| Slew Rate | 1.6 V/µs - enables faithful reproduction of 100-kHz, 1-VPP signals without distortion in fast-settling data paths. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 100 µV (typ, 25°C) - ensures ≤0.002% gain error in 5-V full-scale precision measurement circuits. |
| Supply Current / Channel | 500 µA (typ, 3 V) - allows 16-channel analog front-end design within 8-mA total quiescent budget. |
| Output Drive | ±80 mA (measured 1 V from rail, 5 V supply) - directly drives 60-Ω transmission lines or multiple 10-kΩ ADC inputs. |
| Input Noise Voltage | 11 nV/√Hz (1 kHz) - contributes <1.1 µV RMS noise in 10-kHz bandwidth, preserving 16-bit ENOB in buffered ADC stages. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.3 µA/channel - reduces system standby power by >99.9% versus active mode, critical for battery-backed mission modes. |
Pinout & Package
Ceramic flatpack (U) package, 8-pin, hermetically sealed, qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 Class Q standards. Pin 1 identified by beveled edge and molded "U" shape.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | NC | No internal connection - left floating or grounded per layout best practices for noise immunity. |
| 2 | VDD | Positive supply input - requires local 100-nF ceramic decoupling to GND within 5 mm. |
| 3 | NC | No internal connection - not bonded; avoid routing sensitive traces nearby. |
| 4 | OUTPUT | Amplifier output - capable of sourcing/sinking ±80 mA while maintaining rail-to-rail swing. |
| 5 | NC | No internal connection - electrically isolated; may be used as thermal pad anchor if plated. |
| 6 | NC | No internal connection - unused; tie to GND only if required for mechanical stability. |
| 7 | IN− | Inverting input - high-impedance CMOS node (10⁹ Ω); sensitive to PCB leakage and EMI coupling. |
| 8 | IN+ | Non-inverting input - matched to IN− for optimal CMRR; requires symmetric trace routing. |
| 9 | GND | Analog ground reference - must connect to clean system AGND plane with low-inductance path. |
| 10 | NC | No internal connection - unconnected die bond pad; no electrical function. |
| 11 | SHDN | Active-high shutdown control - driven >2 V to enable, <0.7 V to enter 0.3-µA shutdown state. |
| 12 | NC | No internal connection - reserved for test or future revision; leave unconnected. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail I/O | Supports 0 V to VDD input common-mode range and output swing within 10 mV of rails - eliminates level-shifting in 3.3-V or 5-V single-supply systems. |
| High output drive | ±80 mA capability enables direct interface to SAR ADC reference buffers, DAC outputs, and low-Z sensors without external drivers. |
| Military temperature range | Qualified from −55°C to 125°C with guaranteed parametric performance - meets MIL-STD-883 requirements for launch and orbital environments. |
| Low-noise precision | 11 nV/√Hz input noise + 100 µV offset enables sub-16-bit error floors in 100-kSPS data loggers and telemetry front-ends. |
| Ultralow shutdown current | 0.3 µA/channel shutdown reduces quiescent power to nanowatt scale - extends battery life in dormant telemetry nodes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rail-to-rail operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA2333MDRGTEP | Chopper-stabilized (0.02 µV/°C drift), lower noise (5.5 nV/√Hz), but higher supply current (17 µA/channel) and no shutdown. | Better DC precision for ultra-low-drift applications; unsuitable where micropower shutdown is required. | Select when long-term offset stability outweighs shutdown capability and quiescent power constraints. |
| LMH6629MF/NOPB | Higher speed (1.5 GHz GBW), higher drive (±100 mA), but rail-to-rail input only (not output) and 2.5 mA/channel supply current. | Used in high-frequency active filters and RF IF stages; not optimized for low-voltage, low-power DC sensing. | Select when bandwidth >100 MHz and output swing beyond rail limits are needed, accepting higher power and reduced DC accuracy. |
Compared with OPA2333MDRGTEP and LMH6629MF/NOPB, the 5962-0051204QPA uniquely balances military-temperature rail-to-rail I/O, micropower operation (500 µA), and integrated shutdown (0.3 µA) - making it irreplaceable in power-constrained, wide-temperature analog signal chains where both precision and controllable power gating are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range certified for the 5962-0051204QPA?
The 5962-0051204QPA is fully specified and tested over −55°C to 125°C, meeting MIL-PRF-38535 Class Q requirements for high-reliability military and space applications. Electrical parameters including input offset voltage, supply current, and output drive are guaranteed across this full range, with no derating required up to 125°C ambient.
Does the 5962-0051204QPA support true rail-to-rail input and output operation?
Yes, the 5962-0051204QPA supports rail-to-rail input common-mode voltage range (0 V to VDD) and rail-to-rail output swing (within 10 mV of each rail at light load). This is confirmed in the datasheet's "Common-mode input voltage range" and "Output voltage swing" specifications, enabling full utilization of supply headroom in single-supply 3.3-V or 5-V systems.
What is the maximum output current capability of the 5962-0051204QPA at 5 V supply?
At VDD = 5 V, the 5962-0051204QPA delivers ±80 mA output current when measured 1 V from either rail, as specified in the "Output current" parameter table. This is validated under DC conditions and supports direct driving of moderate-impedance loads such as ADC reference buffers, DAC outputs, and sensor excitation circuits without external boost stages.
How does the shutdown feature of the 5962-0051204QPA behave electrically?
When the SHDN pin is pulled below 0.7 V (relative to GND), the 5962-0051204QPA enters ultralow-power shutdown mode drawing ≤0.3 µA per channel, and its output transitions to a high-impedance state. The amplifier resumes normal operation within 7.65 µs after SHDN rises above 2 V, with no latch-up or startup overshoot observed in characterized waveforms.
Is the 5962-0051204QPA pin-compatible with other TLV246x variants in the U-package?
No - the 5962-0051204QPA uses an 8-pin ceramic flatpack (U) configuration with specific NC pin assignments (pins 1, 3, 5, 6, 10, 12) and dedicated SHDN on pin 11, differing from TLV2461/TLV2462 U-package variants which use 10-pin layouts. Direct substitution requires PCB redesign; consult TI SLOS220J Figure 5 for exact pin mapping.
