Product details
Overview
5962-8975701LA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade 8-bit magnitude comparator IC performing high-speed arithmetic or logic comparison of two 8-bit binary words, featuring latchable P-input port, dual-mode (logical/arithmetic) comparison, cascading capability up to n bits, and operation across –55°C to 125°C.
For engineers reviewing the 5962-8975701LA datasheet, 5962-8975701LA pinout, 5962-8975701LA application, or 5962-8975701LA equivalent, key selection considerations include its ceramic DIP-24 package, L/A mode control for logic/arithmetic selection, PLE-enabled latching, and P > QOUT / P < QOUT cascading outputs with ≤14 ns propagation delay.
Technical Context
The 5962-8975701LA implements an advanced Schottky TTL architecture with pnp input transistors reducing low-level input current to –1 mA, enabling minimal dc loading. Its dual comparison modes are selected via the L/A pin: high enables logical comparison (P vs Q), low enables arithmetic (two's complement) comparison.
Cascading uses dedicated P > QIN / P < QIN inputs and P > QOUT / P < QOUT outputs with only two-gate-level delay per stage, supporting 16-bit, 24-bit, or 32-bit word comparisons without external gates. The transparent latch on P-data is controlled by PLE, with setup/hold times of 2 ns / 4.5 ns respectively.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | 8-bit magnitude comparator with latchable P-input port and dual-mode (logical/arithmetic) comparison |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5 V TTL systems and robust noise margin |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to 125°C - qualified for military/aerospace applications per MIL-PRF-38535 |
| Propagation Delay | Max 14 ns (tPHL/tPLH, L/A → P > QOUT/P < QOUT) - enables high-throughput digital comparison in real-time control paths |
| Output Drive | IOL = 20 mA, IOH = –2 mA - sufficient to drive multiple TTL loads without buffering |
| Input Current | IIL = –2 mA (P/Q/PLE), IIH = –4 µA (L/A) - low dc loading preserves bus integrity in dense logic systems |

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | L/A | Logic/Arithmetic mode select: HIGH = logical comparison, LOW = arithmetic (two's complement) |
| 2 | P < QIN | Cascaded less-significant-stage "P less than Q" input for multi-word expansion |
| 3 | P > QIN | Cascaded less-significant-stage "P greater than Q" input for multi-word expansion |
| 4–11 | Q0–Q7 | 8-bit non-latched Q operand inputs (LSB to MSB) |
| 12 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and I/O |
| 13 | P > QOUT | Active-HIGH output indicating P > Q (or P AG Q in arithmetic mode) |

| 15–22 | P0–P7 | 8-bit latchable P operand inputs (LSB to MSB); latched on PLE falling edge |
| 23 | PLE | P latch-enable: HIGH = transparent, LOW = latches P-data - enables synchronized sampling |
| 24 | VCC | +5 V supply input - powers all internal logic and output stages |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Latchable P-input port with power-up clear | Enables synchronous capture of P-word independent of Q-word timing; eliminates race conditions in pipelined comparators |
| Choice of logical or arithmetic (two's complement) comparison | Single-pin L/A control allows runtime reconfiguration between unsigned binary and signed integer comparison modes |
| pnp input transistors on data and PLE inputs | Reduces low-level input current to –1 mA, minimizing dc loading on shared buses and improving fan-out capability |
| Cascadable to n bits with two-gate-level delay per stage | Supports 16-, 24-, or 32-bit comparisons using only P > QIN/P < QIN and P > QOUT/P < QOUT signals - no external gates required |
| 35% faster ac performance vs. standard Schottky TTL | Typical tPLH/tPHL of 5–8.5 ns enables use in high-speed address decoding, ALU status generation, and real-time sorting logic |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit magnitude comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN54AS885JT | Identical functionality, same JT package and military temperature range; differs only in MIL-PRF-38535 screening level and device marking format | No functional difference; used interchangeably in new designs requiring QML-38535 Class V qualification | Select SN54AS885JT if sourcing through standard TI military distribution channels; 5962-8975701LA is preferred for DoD-assigned part number traceability |
| 5962-89757013A | LCCC (FK) package, 28-pin, higher I/O count; includes NC pins and different pinout; same electrical specs and temp range | Suitable for space-constrained PCBs requiring surface-mount hermetic packaging; incompatible pinout prevents drop-in replacement | Choose 5962-89757013A when board layout supports LCCC and thermal/mechanical requirements favor ceramic leadless construction |
Compared with SN54AS885JT, 5962-8975701LA provides identical logic behavior and environmental rating but with DoD-assigned nomenclature for procurement traceability; versus 5962-89757013A, it offers DIP-24 compatibility at the cost of larger footprint and through-hole assembly.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the 5962-8975701LA?
The 5962-8975701LA is characterized for operation from –55°C to 125°C, meeting MIL-PRF-38535 Class V requirements for military and aerospace applications. This range is verified per the SDAS236A datasheet and confirmed in TI's Package Option Addendum, where the device is listed with Op Temp (°C) = –55 to 125. No derating or external thermal management is required within this envelope.
Does the 5962-8975701LA support both logical and arithmetic comparison modes?
Yes, the 5962-8975701LA supports both modes via the L/A pin: when HIGH, it performs logical (unsigned binary) comparison of P and Q; when LOW, it performs arithmetic (two's complement) comparison. This is explicitly defined in the FUNCTION TABLE and APPLICATION INFORMATION sections of the SDAS236A datasheet, with separate truth table rows for each mode.
What package type is used for the 5962-8975701LA?
The 5962-8975701LA uses a Ceramic Dual-In-Line Package (CDIP) with JT designation, 24-pin, 0.300-inch width. This is confirmed in TI's Package Option Addendum, which lists "CDIP / JT / 24" for 5962-8975701LA, and in the mechanical drawing MCER004A specifying GDIP3-T24 compliance and hermetic sealing capability.
How does cascading work on the 5962-8975701LA for comparing words longer than 8 bits?
Cascading uses P > QIN and P < QIN inputs to accept results from less-significant stages, and P > QOUT and P < QOUT outputs to drive more-significant stages. Each stage adds only two-gate-level delay, enabling efficient 16-bit or 32-bit comparisons. Figures 1 and 2 in the SDAS236A datasheet illustrate optimal and fastest cascading topologies for the 5962-8975701LA.
Is the P-input port on the 5962-8975701LA latched, and how is it controlled?
Yes, the P-input port is latchable via the PLE (P Latch Enable) pin. When PLE is HIGH, the port is transparent; when PLE transitions LOW, the current P0–P7 values are latched. Setup time is 2 ns and hold time is 4.5 ns, as specified in the recommended operating conditions table of the SDAS236A datasheet.
