Product details
Overview
5962-8850502RA from Analog Devices is a military-grade 8-bit successive approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with integrated buried Zener reference, on-chip clock, comparator, and 3-state digital output buffers. It delivers ±1/2 LSB relative accuracy, supports unipolar (0 V to +10 V) and bipolar (–5 V to +5 V) input ranges, and achieves full conversion in ≤30 µs using +5 V and –12 V to –15 V supplies. It is deployed in precision data acquisition systems for avionics and ruggedized instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the 5962-8850502RA datasheet, 5962-8850502RA pinout, 5962-8850502RA application, or 5962-8850502RA equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed no-missing-codes operation from –55°C to +125°C, MIL-STD-883 compliance, dual-supply tolerance, bipolar/unipolar mode configurability via Pin 16, and direct microprocessor bus interface without external latches or buffers.
Technical Context
The 5962-8850502RA implements successive approximation using integrated injection logic (I2L) and a laser-trimmed SiCr thin-film resistor ladder DAC. Its temperature-compensated buried Zener reference ensures stable full-scale calibration across –55°C to +125°C, with <±2 LSB full-scale error and <±1/2 LSB offset error in both unipolar and bipolar modes.
Conversion is initiated by the trailing edge of a ≥500 ns CONVERT pulse; DATA READY (DR) asserts within 1.5 µs after the leading edge to signal reset completion and deasserts upon conversion finish. The 8-bit current-output DAC balances input current through a 5 kΩ trimmed input resistor, enabling accurate digitization without external components.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD673SD | Same die, identical specs, but screened to MIL-STD-883 Class B rather than Class S; slightly relaxed burn-in and life-test requirements. | Approved for non-safety-critical military subsystems where full Class S qualification is not mandated. | Select AD673SD if procurement documentation permits Class B screening and cost reduction is prioritized. |
| MAX160BCWI+ | CMOS-based 8-bit ADC with +5 V only supply; lacks bipolar input support and buried Zener reference; typical conversion time 25 µs. | Suitable for commercial-grade embedded systems with limited thermal range and unipolar-only signal chains. | Choose MAX160BCWI+ only for cost-sensitive, non-military designs where single-supply operation and lower power are essential. |
Compared with 5962-8850502RA, AD673SD offers identical performance with reduced screening rigor, while MAX160BCWI+ trades military reliability and bipolar capability for simpler power architecture and lower unit cost-neither is pin-compatible, and both require PCB layout changes.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range guaranteed for the 5962-8850502RA?
The 5962-8850502RA is fully specified and tested from –55°C to +125°C per MIL-STD-883 requirements. This range covers extreme environments such as jet engine compartments, missile canisters, and space vehicle bays. All parameters-including relative accuracy, conversion time, and input impedance-are guaranteed across this span without derating. The 5962-8850502RA achieves this via laser-trimmed resistor networks and a temperature-compensated buried Zener reference.
Does the 5962-8850502RA require external components to perform a full-accuracy conversion?
No, the 5962-8850502RA requires no external components for full-accuracy 8-bit conversion. It integrates an 8-bit current-output DAC, successive approximation register, comparator, buried Zener reference, clock generator, and 3-state output buffers on a single die. Only power supplies (+5 V and –12 V to –15 V), analog input, and CONVERT/DE control signals are needed. The 5 kΩ trimmed input resistor and internal reference eliminate need for external calibration parts in most applications.
How does the 5962-8850502RA support both unipolar and bipolar input ranges?
The 5962-8850502RA selects input range via Pin 16 (BIPOLAR OFFSET): grounding it configures unipolar mode (0 V to +10 V); leaving it open configures bipolar mode (–5 V to +5 V). In bipolar mode, internal circuitry injects a precise offset current equal to MSB – 1/2 LSB into the comparator summing node, shifting the transfer function. The 5962-8850502RA outputs true offset binary code in bipolar mode and true binary in unipolar mode-no external logic is required for range switching.
What is the significance of the "no missing codes" specification for the 5962-8850502RA?
"No missing codes" means the 5962-8850502RA produces every possible 8-bit output code (0 to 255) across its full input range without skips-guaranteed from –55°C to +125°C. This is essential in closed-loop control (e.g., flight surfaces, servo motors) where skipped codes cause abrupt jumps in commanded output, risking instability. The 5962-8850502RA achieves this via laser-trimmed SiCr resistor ladder and I2L SAR architecture, validated in final test per MIL-STD-883.
Can the 5962-8850502RA interface directly to an 8-bit microprocessor bus without glue logic?
Yes, the 5962-8850502RA supports direct connection to standard 8-bit microprocessor buses (e.g., 8080, Z80) using its CONVERT and DATA ENABLE inputs. A decoded address strobe gated with WR generates CONVERT; the same address strobe gated with RD enables outputs. DATA READY provides handshake signaling. The 5962-8850502RA's TTL-compatible outputs, 3-state buffers, and ≤30 µs conversion time eliminate need for latches, buffers, or wait-state generators in most implementations.
