Analog Devices Inc. 5962-8686103XA

Overview

5962-8686103XA from Analog Devices is a hermetically sealed, 3-terminal bandgap voltage reference delivering a precise 2.500 V ±10 mV output across –55°C to +125°C, with 10 ppm/°C temperature stability and 1.5 mA max quiescent current. It operates from 4.5 V to 30 V input and serves as a stable reference for 12-bit DACs like the AD7542 in single-supply microprocessor systems.

For engineers reviewing the 5962-8686103XA datasheet, 5962-8686103XA pinout, 5962-8686103XA application, or 5962-8686103XA equivalent, key selection criteria include MIL-STD-883B compliance, TO-52 metal-can packaging, long-term stability of ≤250 µV, and compatibility with low-power CMOS data converters requiring minimal external components.

Technical Context

The 5962-8686103XA implements a laser-trimmed bandgap reference architecture using two bipolar transistors biased at different current densities to generate a temperature-compensated ΔV_BE, summed with V_BE to yield a stable 1.205 V base, then amplified to 2.5 V. Its quasi-parabolic temperature response enables guaranteed full-range deviation specs-not just discrete-point characterization.

It functions as a 3-terminal device (input, ground, output) with no external components required for regulation. Input rejection is specified over 4.5 V–30 V, load regulation holds to 10 mV at ∆I = 10 mA, and noise is 8 µV p-p (0.1 Hz–10 Hz), supporting precision metrology and high-resolution ADC/DAC biasing.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

The 5962-8686103XA is housed in a hermetic TO-52 metal-can package (H-03A outline), with bottom-view pin configuration: Pin 1 = +E (input), Pin 2 = –E (ground), Pin 3 = EOUT (2.5 V output). Both EOUT pads must be connected to the output node per layout guidance.

FAQ

What is the operating temperature range of the 5962-8686103XA?

The 5962-8686103XA is specified for operation from –55°C to +125°C, with guaranteed performance across this full range. Its temperature coefficient is 10 ppm/°C, resulting in a maximum output deviation of 1.75 mV over 0°C to +70°C and ≤4.5 mV over the full –55°C to +125°C span. This makes the 5962-8686103XA suitable for harsh-environment deployments including aerospace, downhole, and military platforms.

Is the 5962-8686103XA compliant with MIL-STD-883B?

Yes, the 5962-8686103XA is fully compliant with MIL-STD-883B, including screening for mechanical shock, thermal cycling, and steady-state life testing. It meets Method 5005 for electrical testing and Method 5007 for burn-in, confirming suitability for Class B military and space applications. The 5962-8686103XA part number itself denotes its qualified status under the US Defense Logistics Agency's 5962 series.

What package type does the 5962-8686103XA use?

The 5962-8686103XA uses a hermetically sealed TO-52 metal-can package (outline H-03A), with three leads arranged in a triangular bottom-view configuration: Pin 1 (+E), Pin 2 (–E), and Pin 3 (EOUT). This package provides superior moisture resistance, thermal conductivity, and EMI shielding compared to plastic alternatives-critical for long-term stability in mission-critical systems.

Can the 5962-8686103XA be used as a current limiter?

Yes, the 5962-8686103XA can be configured as a programmable current limiter by connecting an external resistor between EOUT and the load, achieving setpoints from 1 mA to 10 mA. Its temperature coefficient in this mode is 0.01%/°C at 13 mA, significantly better than discrete Zener-based limiters. This dual-role capability reduces component count in protection circuits without sacrificing precision.

How does the 5962-8686103XA compare to the commercial AD580UH?

The 5962-8686103XA is the MIL-qualified version of the AD580UH, sharing identical electrical specifications-including ±10 mV output tolerance, 10 ppm/°C tempco, and TO-52 packaging-but undergoing additional screening per MIL-STD-883B. Unlike the commercial AD580UH, the 5962-8686103XA carries DLA certification, lot traceability, and extended reliability testing, making it mandatory for defense prime contracts and space-rated designs.
