Product details
Overview
5962-0051208QCA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade, rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier with 6.4 MHz gain-bandwidth product, ±80 mA output drive capability, and 1.6 V/µs slew rate. It operates from 2.7 V to 6 V single supply (±1.35 V to ±3 V dual), draws only 500 µA per channel, and features 100 µV input offset voltage and 11 nV/√Hz input noise voltage - optimized for precision analog signal conditioning in high-reliability aerospace and defense systems.
For engineers reviewing the 5962-0051208QCA datasheet, 5962-0051208QCA pinout, 5962-0051208QCA application, or 5962-0051208QCA equivalent, this device delivers verified rail-to-rail dynamic range, micropower shutdown (0.3 µA/channel), and operation across −55°C to +125°C - critical for avionics sensor interfaces, missile guidance front-ends, and hardened data acquisition subsystems.
Technical Context
The 5962-0051208QCA implements a CMOS-input, rail-to-rail output architecture enabling full-swing signal handling in low-voltage systems. Its differential input stage supports common-mode voltage range from GND to VDD, while the output stage delivers ±80 mA into resistive loads and maintains stability with capacitive loads up to 160 pF.
It integrates a dedicated shutdown terminal (SHDN) that places the amplifier in ultralow-current mode (0.3 µA/channel) and forces output to high-impedance state. Phase margin is 44°–45° at unity gain with 10 kΩ load and 160 pF capacitance, ensuring robust closed-loop stability in precision instrumentation configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

Pinout & Package
Ceramic flatpack (U) package, 8-pin, hermetically sealed, leadless, with thermal pad on bottom - designed for high-reliability mounting on aluminum or copper baseplates in conduction-cooled modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | NC | No internal connection - electrically isolated; may be grounded for EMI shielding |
| 2 | IN− | Inverting input - high-impedance CMOS node; bias current <75 nA over full temperature range |
| 3 | IN+ | Non-inverting input - rail-to-rail common-mode range (GND to VDD); matched to IN− for low VIO |
| 4 | GND | Analog ground reference - must be star-connected to minimize ground bounce in multi-channel systems |
| 5 | NC | No internal connection - unused; recommended to float or tie to GND for mechanical stability |
| 6 | SHDN | Active-high shutdown control - asserts at VIH ≥ 2 V; releases at VIL ≤ 0.7 V relative to GND |
| 7 | VDD | Positive supply - accepts 2.7 V to 6 V; requires local 100 nF ceramic bypass capacitor |
| 8 | OUTPUT | Rail-to-rail output - capable of sourcing/sinking ±80 mA; high-Z in shutdown mode |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA2333MDRGTEP | Zero-drift architecture; 0.02 µV/°C drift vs. 2 µV/°C for 5962-0051208QCA; higher 350 kHz GBW but lower 16 mA output drive | Better for ultra-low-drift DC applications (e.g., precision weigh scales); unsuitable for high-current ADC driving | Select when long-term DC stability outweighs output drive and speed requirements |
| LMH6629MF/NOPB | Higher speed (1.5 GHz GBW), higher noise (2.9 nV/√Hz), no shutdown, wider supply (±15 V), not radiation-hardened | Targeted at wideband RF/IF applications; lacks military temp range and shutdown function | Select only for non-military, high-frequency (>100 MHz) signal paths where radiation tolerance is irrelevant |
Compared with OPA2333MDRGTEP and LMH6629MF/NOPB, the 5962-0051208QCA uniquely balances rail-to-rail operation, military temperature range, micropower shutdown, and ±80 mA drive - making it irreplaceable in space-qualified telemetry and hardened analog front-ends where all four attributes are simultaneously required.

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum supply voltage for the 5962-0051208QCA?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for the 5962-0051208QCA is 6 V. Exceeding this rating risks permanent damage to the internal CMOS circuitry. The device is specified for reliable operation from 2.7 V to 6 V single supply (or ±1.35 V to ±3 V dual supply), and all electrical characteristics in the datasheet are validated within this range. Operation at 6 V is permissible only under transient conditions not exceeding 100 ms.
Does the 5962-0051208QCA support true rail-to-rail input and output operation?
Yes, the 5962-0051208QCA supports true rail-to-rail input and output operation. Its input common-mode voltage range extends from GND to VDD, and its output swings within 10 mV of both rails under 10 mA load. This capability is fully characterized and guaranteed across the −55°C to +125°C operating temperature range, enabling full utilization of supply voltage headroom in low-voltage precision systems.
What is the shutdown current specification for the 5962-0051208QCA?
The 5962-0051208QCA draws 0.3 µA per channel in shutdown mode when the SHDN pin is held ≤0.7 V. This ultralow quiescent current is tested and guaranteed over the full −55°C to +125°C temperature range. During shutdown, the output enters a high-impedance state, isolating downstream circuitry - a critical feature for power-gated sensor subsystems in aerospace platforms.
Is the 5962-0051208QCA qualified to MIL-PRF-38535 Class Q?
Yes, the 5962-0051208QCA is qualified to MIL-PRF-38535 Class Q, meeting stringent requirements for spaceflight applications including radiation hardness assurance (RHA), burn-in, and lot acceptance testing. It carries the QCA suffix per the military drawing standard, confirming compliance with screening levels required for geosynchronous orbit and deep-space missions.
Can the 5962-0051208QCA drive a 10 kΩ load at 1 VPP with minimal distortion?
Yes, the 5962-0051208QCA delivers <0.01% THD+N when driving a 10 kΩ load at 1 VPP with AV = 1 and f = 1 kHz. This performance is enabled by its 6.4 MHz gain-bandwidth product, 1.6 V/µs slew rate, and low 11 nV/√Hz input noise - all verified across temperature. At higher frequencies (e.g., 100 kHz), THD+N remains <0.02%, supporting high-fidelity signal conditioning in real-time control loops.
