Product details
Overview
5962-8774201VEA from Texas Instruments is a high-efficiency linear regulator controller IC designed for low VIN–VOUT differential applications up to 5A using an external pass device. It supports both positive and negative regulator topologies, features adjustable current sense threshold (40–170 mV), under/over-voltage fault detection with programmable delay (30–60 ms/µF), and a 100mA crowbar output for over-voltage protection. It operates across −55°C to +125°C and is qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 Class V.
For engineers reviewing the 5962-8774201VEA datasheet, 5962-8774201VEA pinout, 5962-8774201VEA application, or 5962-8774201VEA equivalent, this part is critical for precision analog power systems requiring thermal shutdown, dual-polarity reference support (+1.5V and −2.0V), and fault-latched crowbar protection in harsh-environment military platforms.
Technical Context
The 5962-8774201VEA implements a transconductance error amplifier and current sense amplifier sharing a common output node (Pin 14), where small-signal voltage gain depends on load impedance (AVE/A ≈ ZL(f)/700Ω). Its fault monitoring circuit uses user-programmable RC delay on Pin 13 to reject transients before asserting Fault Alert (Pin 12) or latching O.V. Latch Output (Pin 15).
Thermal shutdown activates at 165°C and disables driver outputs; the O.V. latch can be reset by pulling Pin 15 below 0.4V, enabling recovery after fault clearance. The device integrates ±2.0V and +1.5V precision references referenced to VIN+ and VIN− respectively, supporting bidirectional current sensing and polarity-flexible regulator design without external reference ICs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| +1.5V Reference Output | 1.485–1.515V @ 25°C; enables stable feedback reference for error amplifier in positive regulators |
| −2.0V Reference Output | −2.04 to −1.96V @ 25°C (referred to VIN+); supports negative regulator feedback and current sense biasing |
| Current Sense Threshold | Adjustable 40–170 mV range via Pin 4; sets precise foldback current limit point for external pass transistor |
| Fault Delay | 30–60 ms/µF programmable via Pin 13 capacitor; prevents false triggering during input transients |
| Crowbar Gate Drive | −100 to −175 mA sink capability on Pin 19; directly triggers external SCR or MOSFET crowbar for over-voltage shutdown |
| Driver Output Current | 200–350 mA source/sink on Pins 15/16; drives gate/base of high-current external pass devices |
| Operating Temp Range | −55°C to +125°C; qualified for extended military temperature operation per MIL-PRF-38535 Class V |
Pinout & Package

| Pin 12 (Fault Alert) | Open-collector fault indicator | Sinks up to 5 mA when under/over-voltage fault detected post-delay |
| Pin 14 (Compensation/Shutdown) | Error amp output & remote shutdown | Shared node for compensation network; logic-low disables drivers and resets O.V. latch if tied to Pin 15 |
| Pin 15 (O.V. Latch Output/Reset) | Over-voltage latch control | Drives external crowbar gate; latches low until reset below 0.4V |
| Pin 16 (Driver Source) | High-side driver output | Sources up to 350 mA to drive NPN base or N-channel MOSFET gate |
| Pin 19 (Crowbar Gate) | Crowbar trigger output | Sinks −175 mA to fire external SCR or thyristor during sustained over-voltage |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the 5962-8774201VEA?
The 5962-8774201VEA is rated for operation from −55°C to +125°C and is fully qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 Class V for extended temperature performance. This range is confirmed in the TI Package Option Addendum and applies to all electrical specifications unless otherwise noted. The 5962-8774201VEA maintains specified reference accuracy, current sense threshold, and driver output capability across this full range.
Does the 5962-8774201VEA support negative voltage regulation?
Yes, the 5962-8774201VEA supports both positive and negative linear regulator configurations. Its dual precision references (+1.5V referenced to VIN− and −2.0V referenced to VIN+) and bidirectional current sense inputs (Pins 7 and 8) enable direct implementation of negative-output regulators using external PNP or PMOS pass devices. The 5962-8774201VEA datasheet explicitly confirms equal usability for either polarity in the Features section.
What is the function of Pin 19 (Crowbar Gate) on the 5962-8774201VEA?
Pin 19 on the 5962-8774201VEA is the Crowbar Gate output, which sinks up to −175 mA to directly trigger an external SCR or thyristor during a sustained over-voltage condition. When the over-voltage latch (Pin 15) is set, Pin 19 activates and remains active until the fault clears and the latch is reset. This function is documented in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables for the 5962-8774201VEA.
How is the fault delay programmed on the 5962-8774201VEA?
The fault delay on the 5962-8774201VEA is programmed using an external capacitor connected to Pin 13 (Fault Delay). The delay time is 30–60 ms per microfarad, allowing designers to set rejection windows for transient over-voltage or under-voltage events. This RC timing network is described in the Functional Block Diagram and Electrical Characteristics table, and its behavior is verified in the Application Information section of the 5962-8774201VEA datasheet.
Is the 5962-8774201VEA pin-compatible with other UC1834 variants?
Yes, the 5962-8774201VEA is pin-compatible with other UC1834 variants in the CDIP-16 (J) package, including UC1834J/883B and UC1834J. All share identical pin functions, electrical characteristics, and connection diagrams per the TI Databook. The 5962-8774201VEA differs only in its QML-V qualification level and traceability documentation-not in pinout or interface behavior.
