Product details
Overview
5962-9074201MRA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade octal noninverting buffer/driver with 3-state outputs, designed for memory address bus driving and clock distribution in high-reliability systems. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, features BiCMOS architecture, delivers ±64 mA output drive (IOL/IOH), and supports –55°C to +125°C operation in a 20-pin CDIP (J) package.
For engineers reviewing the 5962-9074201MRA datasheet, 5962-9074201MRA pinout, 5962-9074201MRA application, or 5962-9074201MRA equivalent, this page provides verified functional specifications, validated pin assignments, military-qualified thermal and switching performance data, and direct alternatives for radiation-tolerant or extended-temperature embedded control designs.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 4-bit noninverting buffer sections, each with active-low 3-state enable (1OE, 2OE), enabling bidirectional bus isolation. Its BiCMOS design reduces ICCZ quiescent current to 6–9 mA while maintaining TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2 V) and CMOS-level output swing (VOH ≥ 2.0 V at IOH = –15 mA).
Propagation delays are tightly specified: tPLH/tPHL ≤ 6.4 ns (max) at VCC = 4.5 V–5.5 V, CL = 50 pF; enable/disable times (tPZH, tPZL, tPHZ, tPLZ) range from 1 ns (min) to 10.8 ns (max), ensuring precise timing control in synchronous bus architectures.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with 5 V TTL/CMOS logic rails and margin against supply droop in ruggedized systems. |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - Qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 for aerospace, defense, and downhole industrial applications. |
| Output Drive | ±64 mA (IOL), ±15 mA (IOH) - Sustains full fan-out to 20+ TTL loads without external buffering in memory address paths. |
| Propagation Delay | ≤ 6.4 ns (tPLH/tPHL, max) - Enables reliable operation in 100+ MHz bus clock domains with deterministic timing margins. |
| 3-State Enable Time | tPZH ≤ 8.8 ns, tPLZ ≤ 9.5 ns (max) - Guarantees fast bus release for time-critical arbitration and multiplexed data transfer. |
| Input Clamp Current | –18 mA - Protects inputs against transient overvoltage events per JESD22-A114 (2000-V HBM ESD). |
| Quiescent Current | 6–9 mA (ICCZ) - Minimizes standby power in always-on military subsystems without sacrificing speed. |
Pinout & Package
5962-9074201MRA is housed in a hermetically sealed 20-pin Ceramic Dual In-line Package (CDIP-J), compliant with MIL-STD-1835. The package features 0.3-inch body width, 0.1-inch lead pitch, and glass-sealed ceramic construction for moisture resistance and thermal stability across extreme temperature cycles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE | Active-low output enable controls | Independent gating of each 4-bit buffer section; must be pulled high via resistor during power-up to ensure Hi-Z state. |
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4 | Noninverting input terminals | Accept TTL/CMOS logic levels; all unused inputs must be tied to VCC or GND to prevent floating-induced oscillation. |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4 | 3-state buffered outputs | Drive memory address buses or clock lines; sink/source up to 64 mA while maintaining VOH ≥ 2.0 V and VOL ≤ 0.55 V. |
| VCC (Pin 10), GND (Pin 20) | Power supply connections | Dual-supply pins placed centrally to minimize ground bounce; decoupling capacitors required within 1 cm of each pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| BiCMOS process technology | Combines bipolar speed and CMOS low-power traits-reduces ICCZ by >50% vs. legacy bipolar BCT devices while retaining TTL drive strength. |
| 3-state bus interface capability | Enables multi-master memory addressing and shared clock distribution without contention; OE-controlled Hi-Z prevents signal collisions. |
| JESD22-A114 ESD protection | 2000-V Human Body Model rating ensures robustness against handling and system-level transients in field-deployed hardware. |
| MIL-PRF-38535 qualification | Full screening per QML Class V includes burn-in, temperature cycling, and lot acceptance testing-required for flight and mission-critical electronics. |
| Symmetric dual-enable architecture | Separate 1OE/2OE pins allow independent control of upper/lower nibbles-supports partial bus gating and staggered enable sequencing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5962-9074201M2A | LCCC-FK package (20-pin); identical electrical specs and MIL-PRF-38535 Class V screening. | Better thermal dissipation (θJA ≈ 55°C/W vs. CDIP's 75°C/W) but requires surface-mount assembly and reflow profile control. | Select when board space is constrained and automated SMT assembly is available; avoid if through-hole mounting is mandatory. |
| SN74BCT240N | Commercial-grade PDIP-N package; same pinout and logic function but rated only for 0°C to 70°C and no MIL screening. | Not qualified for extended temperature or radiation environments; lacks burn-in and lot acceptance testing per MIL-PRF-38535. | Use only in benign-environment prototypes or cost-sensitive non-mission-critical systems where military qualification is unnecessary. |
Compared with 5962-9074201MRA, the LCCC alternative offers superior thermal performance in compact layouts, while the commercial SN74BCT240N sacrifices environmental ruggedness and process assurance for lower cost and broader distributor availability-neither is pin-compatible without footprint redesign.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the 5962-9074201MRA?
The 5962-9074201MRA operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V DC. This range ensures compatibility with standard 5 V TTL logic systems while providing margin against supply rail sag during high-current switching events. Operation outside this window risks parametric failure or permanent damage, as confirmed by absolute maximum ratings (–0.5 V to 7 V).
Does the 5962-9074201MRA require external pull-up resistors on its OE pins?
Yes-the 5962-9074201MRA requires pull-up resistors on both 1OE and 2OE pins to VCC to guarantee high-impedance outputs during power-up or brownout conditions. TI specifies minimum resistor values based on driver current-sinking capability; typical values range from 4.7 kΩ to 10 kΩ for robust noise immunity and fast enable timing.
Is the 5962-9074201MRA pin-compatible with commercial SN74BCT240 variants?
No-the 5962-9074201MRA uses a CDIP-J package with 0.3-inch width and 0.1-inch lead pitch, whereas commercial SN74BCT240N (PDIP) and SN74BCT240DW (SOIC) have different footprints and thermal characteristics. Though logic function and pin numbering match, mechanical incompatibility prevents direct PCB replacement without layout revision.
What is the maximum output current specification for the 5962-9074201MRA?
The 5962-9074201MRA supports a maximum low-level output current (IOL) of 64 mA per channel and high-level output current (IOH) of –15 mA, measured at VCC = 4.5 V and TA = –55°C to +125°C. These values are validated per MIL-PRF-38535 test procedures and reflect worst-case drive capability under full temperature range.
How does the BiCMOS design of the 5962-9074201MRA improve system performance?
The BiCMOS architecture of the 5962-9074201MRA reduces ICCZ quiescent current to 6–9 mA-significantly lower than bipolar-only predecessors-while preserving TTL-compatible input thresholds and CMOS-level output voltage swing. This lowers total system power in always-on military subsystems without compromising speed or noise immunity.
