Product details
Overview
5962-8970501EA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade quad 2-input multiplexer with three-state non-inverting outputs, designed for high-reliability data routing in harsh-environment systems. It operates across -55°C to +125°C, supports 4.5V–5.5V supply (HCT logic), delivers 13ns typical propagation delay (In to Y, CL = 15pF), and features active-low Output Enable (OE) enabling bus isolation in shared-data architectures.
For engineers reviewing the 5962-8970501EA datasheet, 5962-8970501EA pinout, 5962-8970501EA application, or 5962-8970501EA equivalent, this device serves as a radiation-tolerant, temperature-hardened alternative to commercial HC/HCT257 variants-critical for aerospace avionics, missile guidance interfaces, and secure comms subsystems requiring guaranteed operation under extended thermal stress and long-term reliability.
Technical Context
The 5962-8970501EA implements four identical 2:1 multiplexer circuits sharing one Select (S) input and one active-low Output Enable (OE) control line. Each channel routes either I0 or I1 to its corresponding Y output based on S state, while OE asserts high-impedance on all Y outputs when HIGH.
It conforms to the CD54HCT257 specification: TTL-compatible inputs (VIH ≥ 2V, VIL ≤ 0.8V), CMOS-level outputs (VOH ≥ 4.4V, VOL ≤ 0.4V at IO = ±6mA), and guaranteed performance over full military temperature range (-55°C to +125°C) with 4.5V–5.5V supply.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad 2-input multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD54HC257F3A | HC logic family: 2–6V supply, VIH/VIL referenced to VCC (not fixed TTL thresholds); higher noise immunity but no native LSTTL compatibility | Suitable for mixed-voltage systems (e.g., 3.3V control + 5V bus), not drop-in for legacy TTL-driven designs | Select only if system uses CMOS-level signaling throughout and requires wider supply flexibility. |
| CD74HCT257M | Same HCT logic and function, but commercial SOIC-16 package (D), not hermetic CDIP; rated -55°C to +125°C but not QML-qualified | Appropriate for industrial or space-qualified non-mission-critical subsystems where cost and board space outweigh radiation tolerance needs | Choose for prototyping or non-flight hardware where MIL-spec packaging is unnecessary. |
Compared with 5962-8970501EA, CD54HC257F3A trades TTL interoperability for broader voltage range and lower static power, while CD74HCT257M retains identical logic behavior but lacks radiation-hardened packaging and QML certification - making it unsuitable for flight-critical avionics despite matching electrical specs.

FAQ
What is the supply voltage range for the 5962-8970501EA?
The 5962-8970501EA operates strictly within 4.5V to 5.5V - consistent with HCT logic family requirements. It does not support the wider 2V–6V range of HC variants. This ensures compatibility with standard 5V military power supplies while guaranteeing TTL-level input recognition and robust noise margins at both extremes of the specified temperature range.
Is the 5962-8970501EA pin-compatible with commercial CD74HCT257 devices?
Yes, the 5962-8970501EA shares identical pinout and functionality with CD74HCT257 and CD54HCT257 variants in 16-lead packages. Its CDIP (J) footprint matches the mechanical outline of PDIP and SOIC versions, allowing direct substitution in existing layouts - provided thermal, hermeticity, and qualification requirements are met.
Does the 5962-8970501EA support hot-swap or live-insertion?
No, the 5962-8970501EA is not characterized for hot-swap operation. Its absolute maximum ratings specify no undershoot or overshoot beyond -0.5V/+7V on any pin, and the absence of bus-hold or power-up 3-state features means uncontrolled power sequencing may cause output contention or latch-up. System-level protection circuitry must be implemented externally.
What is the maximum fanout capability of the 5962-8970501EA outputs?
At -55°C to +125°C, the 5962-8970501EA drives up to 10 LSTTL loads per output - defined as 0.4V max VOL at 0.8mA sink current and 2.4V min VOH at 0.04mA source current. This rating is maintained across the full temperature range and enables direct interfacing with legacy TTL-based subsystems without buffer amplification.
How is the 5962-8970501EA qualified for military use?
The 5962-8970501EA is manufactured and tested per MIL-PRF-38535 Class V requirements, including screening for burn-in, temperature cycling, hermeticity, and radiation hardness assurance (RHA). It carries QML certification, confirming compliance with DSCC drawings and traceability to lot-level process controls - essential for DoD and NASA procurement.
