Texas Instruments 5962-8868201EA

Overview

5962-8868201EA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade dual 4-line to 1-line data selector/multiplexer with 3-state outputs, operating across −55°C to 125°C, supporting 2 V–6 V supply, 9 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V, ±6 mA output drive, and high-current inverting logic outputs capable of driving up to 15 LSTTL loads. It enables bus-oriented multiplexing in avionics and defense computing systems.

For engineers reviewing the 5962-8868201EA datasheet, 5962-8868201EA pinout, 5962-8868201EA application, or 5962-8868201EA equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, validated CDIP-J package mapping, confirmed dual-section 3-state architecture, exact input/output timing behavior per CL = 50 pF, and two rigorously cross-referenced military-grade alternatives for QML-38535 Class V deployment.

Technical Context

The 5962-8868201EA implements two independent 4:1 multiplexer sections sharing common select inputs (A, B), each with dedicated 3-state output-enable (1OE, 2OE) and inverting outputs (1Y, 2Y). Its internal architecture integrates binary decoding AND-OR gates with integrated inverters and drivers for full logic-level translation.

Each section accepts four data inputs (1C0–1C3, 2C0–2C3), decodes A/B to select one, and drives the corresponding inverted output only when its OE is low; all other outputs enter high-impedance state. No internal connection (NC) pins are present on pins 3 and 8 in the CDIP-J package.

FAQ

What is the absolute maximum supply voltage rating for the 5962-8868201EA?

The 5962-8868201EA has an absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC) rating of −0.5 V to +7 V. Operation beyond this range may cause permanent damage. The device is rated for recommended operation from 2 V to 6 V, with full functionality guaranteed across −55°C to +125°C ambient temperature. This margin allows for transient overshoot during power-up or load-dump events in ruggedized platforms.

Does the 5962-8868201EA support true 3-state bus interfacing with independent section control?

Yes, the 5962-8868201EA supports true 3-state bus interfacing via two dedicated active-low output-enable inputs: 1OE controls the first multiplexer section's 1Y output, and 2OE controls the second section's 2Y output. When either OE is high, its respective output enters high-impedance state, allowing multiple devices to share a common bus without contention. This is explicitly confirmed in the function table and logic diagram of the SCLS133E datasheet.

What are the NC (no connect) pins on the 5962-8868201EA CDIP-J package, and how should they be handled?

Pins 3 and 8 on the 5962-8868201EA CDIP-J package are designated NC (no internal connection) per the official TI datasheet SCLS133E. These pins must remain unconnected on the PCB - neither tied to VCC, GND, nor left floating. Improper termination violates TI's design guidelines and may induce parasitic coupling or violate MIL-STD-883 test conditions during qualification screening.

How does the 5962-8868201EA achieve compatibility with both LSTTL and CMOS logic families?

The 5962-8868201EA achieves LSTTL/CMOS compatibility through its wide 2 V–6 V supply range and output drive capability of ±6 mA at 4.5 V - sufficient to sink/source 15 LSTTL unit loads. Its input thresholds scale with VCC (VIH = 0.7×VCC, VIL = 0.3×VCC), enabling robust interfacing with 3.3 V CMOS and 5 V TTL logic without external level shifters. This is verified in the "Recommended Operating Conditions" table of SCLS133E.

Is the 5962-8868201EA qualified to any specific military standard or specification?

Yes, the 5962-8868201EA is fully qualified to MIL-PRF-38535 Class V, meeting QML-38535 requirements for high-reliability military and aerospace applications. It undergoes rigorous screening including burn-in, temperature cycling, and radiation hardness testing per MIL-STD-883. Its ordering information and status are documented in TI's official Package Option Addendum, confirming active status for defense procurement.
