Overview
5962-8872701RA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional asynchronous data transfer between A and B buses in high-reliability systems. It features inverting logic, 20-pin CDIP (J) package, –55°C to 125°C operating range, and supports 48 mA low-level output current (IOL) in the -1 variant. It is used in avionics backplane interfaces requiring isolation and direction control.
For engineers reviewing the 5962-8872701RA datasheet, 5962-8872701RA pinout, 5962-8872701RA application, or 5962-8872701RA equivalent, key selection criteria include its QML-38534 Class V qualification, 3-state enable/disable timing (tPZH/tPLZ ≤ 25 ns), DIR-controlled bidirectional flow, and compatibility with 5-V TTL/ALS logic families in harsh-environment embedded systems.
Technical Context
The 5962-8872701RA implements dual-bus bidirectional data routing via a single DIR input that selects A→B or B→A transfer, while OE independently enables or isolates all outputs. Its internal architecture uses ALS (Advanced Low-Power Schottky) logic for improved speed-power tradeoff over standard LS.
It operates strictly at 5 V (4.5–5.5 V), delivers guaranteed 48 mA sink capability per output under VCC = 4.75–5.25 V, and meets MIL-PRF-38534 Class V screening requirements including burn-in, temperature cycling, and hermeticity testing for space and defense platforms.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | ALS (Advanced Low-Power Schottky) - ensures 10 ns typical propagation delay with lower power than AS, suitable for legacy military systems requiring proven reliability. |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to 125°C - qualified per MIL-PRF-38534 Class V for deployment in airborne, missile, and ground vehicle electronics without derating. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with regulated 5-V military power supplies; absolute max 7 V prevents latch-up during transient overvoltage events. |
| Output Drive (IOL) | 48 mA per pin - enables direct interface to terminated transmission lines or multiple TTL inputs without external buffers in bus-hold or hot-swap scenarios. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 14 ns (max) - supports synchronous data rates up to ~35 MHz in point-to-point bus configurations with controlled trace lengths. |
| 3-State Enable Time | tPZH ≤ 25 ns, tPLZ ≤ 27 ns - ensures clean bus arbitration with minimal contention window during direction or output state transitions. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V - matches standard TTL logic levels, allowing interoperability with legacy 74LS/74ALS components on shared buses. |
Pinout & Package
5962-8872701RA is housed in a 20-pin Ceramic Dual-In-Line Package (CDIP, J package), hermetically sealed with flat leads and 0.300-inch body width. The package meets MIL-STD-1835 requirements for military-grade thermal and mechanical robustness.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction Control Input | Determines data flow direction: low = B→A, high = A→B; TTL-compatible threshold ensures reliable control from microcontroller GPIO or discrete logic. |
| 2–9 (A1–A8) | Bus A I/O Terminals | Bidirectional data pins connected to A-side bus; internally buffered with 3-state drivers enabling high-impedance isolation when OE is high. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary signal return path; must be connected to system chassis ground plane to minimize noise coupling into sensitive analog sections. |
| 11–18 (B1–B8) | Bus B I/O Terminals | Bidirectional data pins connected to B-side bus; electrically identical to A-side pins and share same drive strength and timing specs. |
| 19 (OE) | Output Enable Input | Active-low control: low enables transceiver, high places all A/B pins in high-impedance state - critical for bus sharing and hot-plug safety. |
| 20 (VCC) | Power Supply | +5 V supply pin; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed within 5 mm to suppress switching noise and maintain stable core voltage. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 5962-8872701RA?
The 5962-8872701RA is characterized for operation from –55°C to 125°C, fully compliant with MIL-PRF-38534 Class V environmental screening. This range is verified through temperature cycling, steady-state burn-in, and parametric testing at extremes - ensuring functionality in jet engine bays, desert-deployed vehicles, and low-earth-orbit spacecraft thermal profiles. The 5962-8872701RA maintains specified IOL = 48 mA and tPLH ≤ 14 ns across this full range.
Does the 5962-8872701RA support pin-compatible replacement with commercial-grade SN74ALS640B variants?
No, the 5962-8872701RA is not pin-compatible with commercial SN74ALS640B variants due to fundamental differences in qualification, screening, and marking - though both share identical pinout and electrical behavior. The 5962-8872701RA uses CDIP J packaging qualified to MIL-PRF-38534, while SN74ALS640B typically ships in PDIP N or SOIC DW packages without military screening. PCB layout must account for hermetic seal requirements and thermal mass differences.
What is the purpose of the DIR and OE pins on the 5962-8872701RA?
The DIR (direction) pin controls data flow direction: logic low enables B→A transfer, logic high enables A→B transfer. The OE (output enable) pin is active-low and globally disables all outputs into high-impedance state, isolating both buses. In the 5962-8872701RA, these inputs operate at standard TTL thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V) and are internally latched to prevent metastability during asynchronous control transitions.
Is the 5962-8872701RA RoHS-compliant?
The 5962-8872701RA is not RoHS-compliant in its standard configuration, as it uses leaded solder and ceramic packaging consistent with MIL-PRF-38534 Class V requirements. TI documentation specifies "TBD" for eco plan and "Call TI" for lead/ball finish - indicating legacy military construction. For RoHS-compliant alternatives, consider commercial SN74ALS640B-1 variants in green SOIC packages, but note they lack QML qualification and extended temperature rating.
How does the 48 mA IOL rating of the 5962-8872701RA impact system design?
With 48 mA low-level output current per pin, the 5962-8872701RA can directly drive terminated 50-Ω transmission lines, fan out to ≥10 standard TTL loads, or interface with legacy bus terminators without external buffers. This eliminates discrete driver stages, reduces PCB layer count, and improves signal integrity in high-noise military environments - a key advantage confirmed in the 5962-8872701RA datasheet under "recommended operating conditions" for VCC = 4.75–5.25 V.
