Product details
Overview
5962-8409901VSA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade octal D-type positive-edge-triggered flip-flop with active-low asynchronous clear, operating across –55°C to +125°C. It features 2 V to 6 V supply range, ±4 mA output drive at 5 V, typical propagation delay of 12 ns, and low ICC of 80 µA max - deployed in radiation-tolerant avionics timing and control registers.
For engineers reviewing the 5962-8409901VSA datasheet, 5962-8409901VSA pinout, 5962-8409901VSA application, or 5962-8409901VSA equivalent, key selection criteria include its CFP-20 package, MIL-PRF-38535 compliance, guaranteed operation over extended temperature, and direct-clear functionality for deterministic reset in safety-critical logic sequencing.
Technical Context
The 5962-8409901VSA implements eight independent D flip-flops sharing a common clock and global active-low CLR input. Each stage samples data on the rising edge of CLK and latches it to Q, with no internal feedback or preset capability.
Its CMOS architecture ensures rail-to-rail output swing, high noise immunity (VIH ≥ 3.15 V at VCC = 4.5 V), and sub-1-µA input leakage. Timing is characterized per JEDEC JESD78, with setup/hold times validated across full military temperature range.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal D-type flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN54HC273J | Same die, CDIP-20 package; higher thermal resistance (RθJA = 70°C/W vs. CFP's 50°C/W); no hermetic seal | Limited to less demanding environmental profiles; not qualified for vacuum or high-humidity missions | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs hermeticity and thermal performance requirements |
| SNJ54HC273W | Identical CFP-20 package and MIL-PRF-38535 Class V screening; same electrical specs and marking "SNJ54HC273W" | No functional difference - dual-source option for supply chain diversification | Preferred for programs requiring multiple qualified suppliers without redesign or requalification |
Compared with SN54HC273J, 5962-8409901VSA offers superior thermal management and hermetic reliability; compared with SNJ54HC273W, it shares identical form-fit-function but differs only in orderable device ID and traceability documentation scope.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 5962-8409901VSA?
The 5962-8409901VSA supports up to 21 MHz at VCC = 4.5 V and full –55°C to +125°C operating range, as specified in Section 6.10 of the SNx4HC273 datasheet. At 25°C and VCC = 4.5 V, typical fmax reaches 50 MHz, but system-level timing must be verified under worst-case voltage and temperature conditions. The 5962-8409901VSA maintains this rating due to its MIL-PRF-38535 qualification.
Does the 5962-8409901VSA require external pull-up resistors on unused inputs?
No - the 5962-8409901VSA has CMOS inputs with ≤1 µA leakage, so unused inputs may be tied directly to VCC or GND without resistors. TI recommends hard-wiring all unused inputs to prevent floating states that could cause excessive current draw or oscillation. This applies equally to CLR, D, and CLK pins not used in a given design.
How does the 5962-8409901VSA differ from commercial SN74HC273 variants?
The 5962-8409901VSA is the military-spec version of the SN74HC273, fabricated on the same silicon but screened to MIL-PRF-38535 Class V standards, packaged in hermetic CFP-20, and rated for –55°C to +125°C operation. Commercial SN74HC273 variants use plastic packages, have narrower temperature ranges (–40°C to +85°C), and lack radiation tolerance or burn-in testing required for space and defense use.
Can the 5962-8409901VSA drive LED indicators directly?
Yes - with ±4 mA output drive at 5 V, the 5962-8409901VSA can directly sink or source current for low-current LEDs (e.g., 2 mA red/green indicators). For higher-brightness or multi-LED loads, external drivers are recommended. Always verify VOL ≤ 0.33 V and VOH ≥ 3.84 V under load per Section 6.7 to ensure logic compatibility.
Is the 5962-8409901VSA pin-compatible with other SNx4HC273 variants?
Yes - the 5962-8409901VSA shares identical pinout and electrical behavior with all SNx4HC273 family members, including SN54HC273J (CDIP), SNJ54HC273W (CFP), and SN74HC273N (PDIP). All use the same 20-pin configuration with matching signal assignments, enabling drop-in replacement where package and temperature requirements align.
