Product details
Overview
5962-0051401VPA from Texas Instruments is a dual non-inverting power driver IC designed to interface TTL/CMOS logic with high-power MOSFETs in demanding switching applications. It delivers 3.0A peak source/sink per channel, operates from 5 V to 35 V, features 25 ns rise/fall times and 25 ns propagation delays, and supports thermal shutdown and under-voltage lockout - enabling robust gate driving in military-grade motor control and DC-DC converter circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 5962-0051401VPA datasheet, 5962-0051401VPA pinout, 5962-0051401VPA application, or 5962-0051401VPA equivalent, this device is evaluated for high-speed, high-current gate drive where dual-channel independence, enable/shutdown control, and –55°C to 125°C operation are required in hermetic CDIP-8 packaging.
Technical Context
The 5962-0051401VPA implements two independent totem-pole output stages fabricated in a high-voltage Schottky process, each capable of sourcing or sinking up to 3 A while maintaining low cross-conduction current spikes. Its inputs tolerate voltages up to VIN, and logic-level compatibility extends to TTL and CMOS families.
Control architecture includes separate Enable and Shutdown terminals: Enable forces under-voltage lockout (reducing supply current by ~90%), while Shutdown independently pulls both outputs low without affecting internal bias. Thermal shutdown activates at 155°C, and internal bias regulation maintains stable operation across the full –55°C to 125°C junction temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 5 V to 35 V - supports wide-input industrial and military power rails without external regulation. |
| Peak Output Current | 3.0 A per channel - sufficient to rapidly charge/discharge high-gate-charge MOSFETs at >200 kHz. |
| Rise/Fall Time | 25 ns - enables clean, fast switching transitions minimizing overlap loss in half-bridge topologies. |
| Propagation Delay | 25 ns - ensures tight timing alignment between input logic and output drive edges. |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended-range military and aerospace environments. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | 155°C - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking in sealed enclosures. |
| Enable Threshold (Rising) | 2.8 V to 3.6 V - compatible with standard 3.3 V and 5 V logic high levels for reliable activation. |
Pinout & Package
5962-0051401VPA is housed in an 8-pin ceramic dual-in-line package (CDIP-JG), hermetically sealed for high-reliability military use. The package conforms to MIL-STD-1835 GDIP1-T8 and features 0.100" lead pitch, 0.400" body width, and glass-frit sealable construction.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Enable | Active-low input that places device into under-voltage lockout, reducing quiescent current by ~90%. |
| 2 | Input A | Non-inverting logic input for Channel A; accepts TTL/CMOS levels and tolerates up to VIN. |
| 3 | Gnd | Logic ground reference for input circuitry and internal bias generation. |
| 4 | Input B | Non-inverting logic input for Channel B; electrically identical to Input A. |
| 5 | NC | No connect - not bonded internally; must remain unconnected on PCB. |
| 6 | Output A | High-current totem-pole output for Channel A; sources/sinks up to 3 A with <2.5 V saturation. |
| 7 | VIN | Main power supply input (5–35 V); powers both output stages and internal bias circuitry. |
| 8 | Output B | High-current totem-pole output for Channel B; fully independent of Output A with matched timing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent totem-pole outputs | Enables asynchronous control of two power switches (e.g., high-side/low-side or dual-phase drivers) without crosstalk. |
| 3.0 A peak current capability per channel | Drives large gate capacitances (e.g., >5 nF) at high frequency with minimal delay, reducing MOSFET switching losses. |
| Enable and Shutdown control functions | Enable reduces system standby power; Shutdown forces both outputs low without disabling internal logic - critical for fault-safe shutdown. |
| 25 ns rise/fall and propagation times | Supports precise timing in synchronous rectifiers and resonant converters operating above 200 kHz. |
| Thermal shutdown and under-voltage protection | Prevents latch-up or thermal runaway during overloads, brownouts, or inadequate heatsinking in unattended systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UC1708JE/883B | Same UC1708 family, 16-pin CDIP (JE) package with Shutdown terminal exposed; wider pin spacing and additional NC pins. | Requires different PCB layout; supports explicit Shutdown control (not available in JG-8 package). | Select when explicit hardware-controlled shutdown (independent of Enable) is required and board space permits larger footprint. |
| UC1708L/883B | 20-pin LCCC (FK) package with full pinout including dedicated Logic Gnd, Pwr Gnd A/B, and Shutdown - no NC pins. | Offers lowest inductance grounding paths and superior thermal performance; requires surface-mount assembly. | Select for highest reliability in space-qualified designs where thermal dissipation and grounding integrity outweigh through-hole assembly preference. |
Compared with 5962-0051401VPA, UC1708JE/883B adds accessible Shutdown functionality at the cost of larger board area, while UC1708L/883B provides optimized grounding and thermal behavior in a surface-mount ceramic package - neither is pin-compatible, but all three share identical electrical timing, drive strength, and temperature specifications.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the 5962-0051401VPA?
The 5962-0051401VPA has an absolute maximum supply voltage (VIN) rating of 35 V. This limit applies across its full operating temperature range of –55°C to +125°C and ensures safe operation during transient overvoltage events such as load dump in vehicle systems. Exceeding 35 V risks permanent damage to internal bias circuitry and output transistors.
Does the 5962-0051401VPA include a dedicated Shutdown pin?
No, the 5962-0051401VPA does not include a dedicated Shutdown pin. As confirmed in the TI datasheet, the Shutdown feature is unavailable in J or N package variants - and the 5962-0051401VPA uses the JG-8 CDIP package. Only Enable (Pin 1) is functional for control; it places the device in under-voltage lockout rather than forcing outputs low.
What is the peak output current capability of each channel in the 5962-0051401VPA?
Each output channel of the 5962-0051401VPA delivers up to 3.0 A peak source or sink current, verified under transient conditions per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This capability is sustained only within thermal limits - continuous operation at 3 A requires adequate heatsinking to maintain junction temperature below 150°C.
Can the 5962-0051401VPA drive both N-channel and P-channel MOSFETs?
The 5962-0051401VPA is a non-inverting driver with totem-pole outputs optimized for N-channel MOSFETs in low-side or bootstrapped high-side configurations. It lacks level-shifting circuitry and cannot directly drive standalone P-channel high-side switches - external bias networks or complementary drivers are required for P-channel gate control.
What package type and lead finish does the 5962-0051401VPA use?
The 5962-0051401VPA uses an 8-pin ceramic dual-in-line package (CDIP-JG) with hermetic sealing per MIL-STD-1835. Lead finish is specified as "Call TI" in the packaging addendum, indicating custom or legacy plating - typical for QML-V qualified devices, often involving gold or solderable nickel/gold finishes compatible with high-reliability solder processes.
