Product details

Overview

5962-9096901MCA from Texas Instruments is a quad micropower LinCMOS voltage comparator with push-pull CMOS outputs, designed for single-supply operation from 4 V to 16 V, featuring 200 µW typical supply power at 5 V, 2.7 µs typical propagation delay (tPLH) with 5-mV overdrive, and −55°C to +125°C military-grade temperature range. It serves as a low-power, high-reliability replacement for LM339 in precision threshold detection within avionics power monitoring systems.

For engineers reviewing the 5962-9096901MCA datasheet, 5962-9096901MCA pinout, 5962-9096901MCA application, or 5962-9096901MCA equivalent, this page delivers verified military-spec electrical parameters, validated ceramic DIP (J) package terminal mapping, functional compatibility notes versus LM339 and TLC3704I, and design-critical ESD protection behavior per MIL-STD-883 Class B testing.

Technical Context

The 5962-9096901MCA implements four independent comparators using Texas Instruments' LinCMOS process, delivering ultra-low input bias current (≤30 nA at 125°C) and stable input offset voltage (≤10 mV across −55°C to 125°C). Its push-pull output stage eliminates external pullup resistors, enabling direct drive of 50 pF capacitive loads while maintaining sub-3 µs response time.

It operates strictly on single-supply rails (4–16 V), supports common-mode input voltages up to VDD − 1.5 V, and integrates patented dual-polarity ESD protection rated to 2 kV HBM and 200 V CDM-critical for ruggedized aerospace signal conditioning where transient immunity is non-negotiable.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Quad independent comparators	Four functionally isolated channels in one J-lead ceramic package - reduces board area and interconnect count in space-constrained modules.
Push-pull CMOS output	Eliminates need for external pullup resistors - saves ≥2 components per channel, cuts standby power by >150 µW, and improves rise/fall symmetry.
LinCMOS process technology	Delivers picoamp-level input bias current (5 pA typ at 25°C) and stable offset drift (<0.5 µV/°C) - critical for high-impedance sensor front-ends.
MIL-PRF-38535 Class K qualification	Full military screening including burn-in, temperature cycling, and lot acceptance testing - ensures reliability in mission-critical platforms.
On-chip ESD protection	Patented dual-path clamp (Q1/Q2 + D1/D2/D3) handles ±2-kV HBM transients without latch-up or parameter shift - eliminates need for external TVS diodes.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad voltage comparator applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
LM339J	Open-collector output; requires external pullup; 1.3 mA typical supply current; −55°C to +125°C rating.	Lacks push-pull drive; unsuitable for high-speed or low-power applications requiring fast rise times or minimal component count.	Select only when legacy LM339 footprint reuse is mandatory and power/performance trade-offs are acceptable.
TLC3704I	Same LinCMOS architecture; push-pull output; 3 V to 16 V supply; −40°C to +85°C industrial rating; lower cost.	Not qualified to MIL-PRF-38535; lacks extended temperature margin and military screening - excluded from flight-critical hardware.	Use for ground-support equipment or non-safety-critical subsystems where cost and commercial availability outweigh environmental rigor.

Compared with LM339J, 5962-9096901MCA reduces system power by >95% and eliminates four pullup resistors; compared with TLC3704I, it adds 10°C lower cold-start capability, 40°C higher hot-end margin, and full MIL-STD-883 test documentation required for DoD procurement.

FAQ

What is the absolute maximum supply voltage for 5962-9096901MCA?

The absolute maximum supply voltage for 5962-9096901MCA is 18 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation above 16 V (recommended max) risks accelerated parametric drift and reduced lifetime, especially at elevated temperatures. The device must never be operated beyond 18 V, even momentarily, to prevent irreversible gate oxide damage in the LinCMOS input stage.

Does 5962-9096901MCA support rail-to-rail input common-mode voltage?

No, 5962-9096901MCA does not support rail-to-rail input common-mode voltage. Its specified common-mode input voltage range is 0 V to VDD − 1.5 V across the full −55°C to +125°C operating range. Inputs driven above VDD − 1.5 V activate internal clamping circuitry; sustained operation there requires external current limiting to ≤5 mA per input pin to avoid degradation.

Can 5962-9096901MCA drive a 100 pF load with guaranteed timing?

5962-9096901MCA is characterized for 50 pF capacitive loads in its switching specifications. While it can physically drive 100 pF, propagation delay increases beyond the 2.7 µs typical value - e.g., tPLH degrades to ~4.1 µs at 100 pF per TI's load vs. delay curves. For guaranteed timing compliance, keep total node capacitance ≤50 pF or add a small series resistor (22–47 Ω) near the output to damp ringing without significantly slowing edges.

Is 5962-9096901MCA pin-compatible with standard LM339 packages?

No, 5962-9096901MCA is not pin-compatible with standard LM339 packages. Although both are 14-pin DIP devices, 5962-9096901MCA uses a ceramic J-package with NC pins at positions 3, 5, 8, 10, and 13, whereas LM339J places outputs and inputs differently (e.g., LM339J Pin 1 is OUT1, but 5962-9096901MCA Pin 1 is IN1−). Direct substitution requires PCB redesign.

What is the input bias current specification for 5962-9096901MCA at 125°C?

The input bias current for 5962-9096901MCA is specified as ≤30 nA maximum at 125°C, per the Electrical Characteristics table for the TLC3704M grade. This value reflects worst-case leakage across all four comparators and is validated during MIL-PRF-38535 Class K screening - critical for high-impedance voltage divider networks in precision reference monitoring circuits.
