Product details
Overview
5962-9169003M3A from Analog Devices is a military-grade, hermetically sealed 28-pin ceramic DIP 12-bit successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter with on-chip 10 V reference, internal clock, and three-state digital outputs. It supports ±5 V/±10 V bipolar and 0 V–10 V/0 V–20 V unipolar input ranges, operates from +5 V, ±12 V or ±15 V supplies, and delivers 15 µs max conversion time. It is used in precision data acquisition within avionics, radar signal processing, and hardened test instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the 5962-9169003M3A datasheet, 5962-9169003M3A pinout, 5962-9169003M3A application, or 5962-9169003M3A equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, MIL-STD-883-compliant specifications, validated pin functions, real-world application mappings, and two confirmed alternative parts for high-reliability analog-to-digital conversion in extended temperature and radiation-tolerant environments.
Technical Context
The 5962-9169003M3A implements a monolithic BiMOS II SAR architecture with laser-trimmed thin-film resistors for offset, linearity, and full-scale calibration. Its internal 10.00 V ±1% reference drives both the DAC and external loads up to 2.0 mA, and its status output (STS) provides asynchronous end-of-conversion signaling.
It supports dual digital interface modes: full-control mode (using CS, CE, R/C, A0, and 12/8) and standalone mode (triggered by R/C edge), enabling direct connection to 8-bit or 16-bit microprocessor buses without external logic. Conversion timing is deterministic-12-bit cycle completes in ≤15 µs across –55°C to +125°C.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VLOGIC (Pin 1) | Digital supply input | Accepts +4.5 V to +5.5 V logic supply; powers internal buffers and control logic independently from analog rails |
| 12/8 (Pin 2) | Data format select | LOW = 8-bit byte mode (DB11–DB8 then DB7–DB4); HIGH = single 12-bit parallel word output |
| CS (Pin 3) | Chip Select input | Active LOW; enables device decoding in multi-peripheral bus systems; must be asserted before CE |
| A0 (Pin 4) | Byte address/short cycle | HIGH during convert start = 8-bit cycle; LOW = full 12-bit cycle; also selects upper/lower byte during read |
| R/C (Pin 5) | Read/Convert control | LOW = initiate conversion (standalone mode); HIGH = enable data read (full-control mode) |
| CE (Pin 6) | Chip Enable input | Active HIGH; latches R/C state and initiates timing sequence; requires 50 ns setup relative to CS and R/C |
| VCC (Pin 7) | Positive analog supply | +11.4 V to +16.5 V; powers SAR, DAC, comparator, and reference; decoupling required to analog common (Pin 9) |
| REF OUT (Pin 8) | 10 V reference output | Provides trimmed 10.00 V ±1% reference; can drive up to 2.0 mA external load plus internal bipolar offset resistor |
| AGND (Pin 9) | Analog ground | Common return for analog inputs, reference, and supplies; must be isolated from DGND (Pin 15) except at single-point star ground |
| REF IN (Pin 10) | Reference input | Connected via 50 Ω resistor to REF OUT for normal operation; sets DAC scaling and full-scale accuracy |
| VEE (Pin 11) | Negative analog supply | –16.5 V to –11.4 V; powers analog front-end and DAC current sources; decoupling required to AGND |
| BIP OFF (Pin 12) | Bipolar offset adjust | Connected to REF OUT via 50 Ω for ±5 V/±10 V operation; tied to AGND for unipolar 0–10 V/0–20 V mode |
| 10 VIN (Pin 13) | 10 V span analog input | Accepts 0–10 V (unipolar) or ±5 V (bipolar); input impedance = 3–7 kΩ; not connected when using 20 VIN |
| 20 VIN (Pin 14) | 20 V span analog input | Accepts 0–20 V (unipolar) or ±10 V (bipolar); input impedance = 6–14 kΩ; not connected when using 10 VIN |
| DGND (Pin 15) | Digital ground | Return for logic supply and digital outputs; must be separated from AGND to prevent digital noise coupling into analog path |
| DB0–DB3 (Pins 16–19) | LSB data outputs | Three-state buffered; enabled when A0 = HIGH in 8-bit mode or always active in 12-bit mode |
| DB4–DB7 (Pins 20–23) | Middle data outputs | Three-state buffered; provide bits 4–7; disabled when A0 = HIGH in 8-bit mode |
| DB8–DB11 (Pins 24–27) | MSB data outputs | Three-state buffered; provide bits 8–11; disabled when A0 = LOW in 8-bit mode |
| STS (Pin 28) | Status output | Active HIGH during conversion; transitions LOW within 225 ns of completion; used for interrupt-driven data capture |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD674BTD | Same die, identical electrical specs, same MIL-STD-883 screening level; differs only in part numbering convention (non-5962 prefix) | Identical use cases: avionics, radar, hardened instrumentation | Select when sourcing through commercial distribution channels rather than defense logistics agencies |
| AD7817ARZ | 12-bit SAR ADC with integrated temperature sensor and SPI interface; no internal reference; 25 µs conversion time; operates from single +3.3 V supply | Suitable for lower-cost embedded monitoring where SPI interface and temp sensing add value, but not for MIL-STD-883 or high-voltage analog input requirements | Choose only for non-military, commercial industrial applications needing serial interface and on-chip temperature telemetry |
Compared with AD674BTD, 5962-9169003M3A offers identical performance and qualification but aligns with DoD standard ordering nomenclature; versus AD7817ARZ, it provides military-grade packaging, bipolar input capability, and on-chip reference-critical for precision analog systems where supply count, layout simplicity, and environmental robustness are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 5962-9169003M3A?
The 5962-9169003M3A is specified for continuous operation from –55°C to +125°C and is fully qualified per MIL-STD-883 for this extended temperature range. All electrical parameters-including linearity error (±1 LSB), conversion time (≤15 µs), and reference stability-are guaranteed across this full span without derating. This makes 5962-9169003M3A suitable for deployment in jet engine compartments, missile guidance sections, and desert-deployed ground systems.
Does the 5962-9169003M3A require external calibration components?
The 5962-9169003M3A incorporates factory laser-trimmed thin-film resistors for offset, linearity, and full-scale calibration, so no external trims are required for basic operation. However, optional external trimmers (e.g., 50 Ω metal film resistor between REF OUT and REF IN for full-scale adjustment, or potentiometer on BIP OFF for bipolar offset tuning) are supported per Figure 7 and Figure 8 of the datasheet. The 5962-9169003M3A achieves ±1 LSB linearity and ±2 LSB unipolar offset without any user adjustment.
Can the 5962-9169003M3A interface directly with an 8-bit microprocessor bus?
Yes, the 5962-9169003M3A supports direct 8-bit microprocessor interfacing via its dual-mode digital output architecture. When the 12/8 pin is held LOW and A0 is toggled, the 5962-9169003M3A outputs data as two sequential 8-bit bytes: first DB11–DB8 (upper nibble + zeros), then DB7–DB0 (lower byte). This eliminates need for external latches or glue logic in 8080/8085/Z80-based systems, and the three-state buffers ensure clean bus sharing.
What is the purpose of the STS pin on the 5962-9169003M3A?
The STS (Status) pin on the 5962-9169003M3A is an active-HIGH open-collector output that signals ongoing conversion. It asserts HIGH at conversion start and transitions LOW within 225 ns after completion, providing precise hardware handshaking for interrupt-driven data capture. Unlike polling-based reads, STS enables deterministic timing in real-time systems-critical for synchronizing 5962-9169003M3A with DMA controllers or FPGA state machines in radar and flight control applications.
Is the internal reference of the 5962-9169003M3A usable for external circuitry?
Yes, the 5962-9169003M3A's internal 10.00 V ±1% reference (available at REF OUT, Pin 8) can drive external circuitry up to 2.0 mA total load-including the internal bipolar offset resistor (0.5 mA) and reference input divider (0.5 mA). However, any external load must remain constant during conversion; varying loads cause full-scale errors. For stable external biasing, pair REF OUT with a low-ESR capacitor (e.g., 1 µF X7R) and avoid switching regulators or digital loads on the same node.
