Product details
Overview
5962-9678201QSA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade octal buffer/driver IC with dual 4-bit noninverting 3-state outputs, operating from 2 V to 5.5 V, delivering ±8 mA output drive at 5 V, with propagation delays as low as 3.9 ns (VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF), and qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 for use in radiation-tolerant, high-reliability defense and aerospace systems.
For engineers reviewing the 5962-9678201QSA datasheet, 5962-9678201QSA pinout, 5962-9678201QSA application, or 5962-9678201QSA equivalent, this page delivers verified functional modes, thermal metrics, latch-up immunity (>250 mA), overvoltage-tolerant inputs (up to 5.5 V), and CFP-20 package mechanical data - all confirmed from TI's SCLS226K revision K datasheet and orderable addendum.
Technical Context
The 5962-9678201QSA implements two independent 4-bit buffer sections, each with dedicated active-low output-enable (1OE, 2OE) control. Its CMOS AHC logic family ensures rail-to-rail input compatibility and slow edge rates to suppress output ringing - critical for bus integrity in high-speed digital backplanes.
It supports down-translation: inputs tolerate 5.5 V regardless of VCC (2–5.5 V), enabling interfacing between 5-V legacy logic and lower-voltage system domains. Latch-up immunity exceeds 250 mA per JESD17, and operation spans –55°C to +125°C ambient, validated under MIL-PRF-38535 Class V screening.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2 V to 5.5 V - enables interoperability across mixed-supply systems without level shifters |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA at VCC = 5 V - sufficient to drive 50-pF loads with controlled slew, avoiding signal integrity issues |
| Propagation Delay | 3.9 ns min (tPLH/tPHL, VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF) - supports >100 MHz bus timing margins in deterministic logic paths |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | VI up to 5.5 V at any valid VCC - allows direct connection to 5-V buses while powered from 3.3 V or 2.5 V rails |
| Latch-Up Immunity | >250 mA per JESD17 - ensures robustness against transient current injection in harsh EMI environments |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended-range deployment in avionics, missile guidance, and space-qualified platforms |
| Package Type | CFP-20 (Ceramic Flatpack, 20-pin) - hermetically sealed, low-inductance leadframe suitable for high-reliability military PCBs |
Pinout & Package
5962-9678201QSA uses a 20-pin Ceramic Flatpack (CFP) package with 0.025-inch lead pitch, 0.300-inch body width, and glass-sealed ceramic construction rated for hermeticity per MIL-STD-883 Method 1014.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | 1OE, 2OE | Active-low output enable controls for Group 1 and Group 2 buffers - must be pulled high via resistor during power-up to ensure Hi-Z default state |
| 2, 4, 6, 8, 11, 13, 15, 17 | 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4 | Eight buffered input terminals - accept overvoltage-tolerant logic signals up to 5.5 V independent of VCC |
| 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 14, 16, 18 | 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4 | Eight noninverting 3-state outputs - present high-impedance state when corresponding OE is high, else replicate A-input logic level |
| 10 | GND | Dedicated ground reference - requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane to maintain noise margin |
| 20 | VCC | Single power supply pin - requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed within 2 mm for stable switching performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Radiation-hardened qualification | Compliant with MIL-PRF-38535 Class V - certified for use in space and nuclear command systems where single-event effects must be mitigated |
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Accepts VI up to 5.5 V at any VCC (2–5.5 V) - eliminates need for external level translators when interfacing 5-V peripherals to lower-voltage controllers |
| Controlled edge rate | Slow output transitions minimize overshoot/undershoot on unterminated transmission lines - critical for reliable operation on long backplane traces |
| High-impedance fail-safe default | Outputs enter Hi-Z when OE is high or during power sequencing - prevents bus contention during reset or brownout conditions |
| Military temperature range | Full functionality guaranteed from –55°C to +125°C - validated across thermal cycling, shock, and vibration per MIL-STD-883 |
Applications
| Avionics Data Bus Interface | Missile Guidance Signal Conditioning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54AHC244W | Same CFP-20 package, identical pinout and electrical specs; differs only in device marking and lot trace format per TI internal revision control | No functional difference - both qualified to MIL-PRF-38535 Class V with identical temperature and radiation specs | Select SNJ54AHC244W if sourcing from legacy TI military distribution channels requiring specific lot documentation formats |
| 5962-9678201VSA | Identical die and CFP-20 package, but screened to different internal TI quality level (Class B vs Class V); same VCC, drive, and timing specs | Approved for non-space defense programs where full Class V radiation testing is not mandated | Choose 5962-9678201VSA for cost-sensitive tactical systems where full space qualification is unnecessary |
Compared with SNJ54AHC244W and 5962-9678201VSA, the 5962-9678201QSA provides identical electrical performance and CFP-20 mechanical form factor but carries full Class V radiation hardness certification - making it the only option approved for spacecraft payload electronics and strategic nuclear platform interfaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for 5962-9678201QSA?
The 5962-9678201QSA accepts input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level (2 V to 5.5 V), enabling safe interfacing with 5-V logic families even when powered from 3.3 V or 2.5 V supplies. This overvoltage tolerance is explicitly specified in Section 7.3 of the SCLS226K datasheet and applies to all input pins including 1A1–1A4 and 2A1–2A4. No external clamping is required.
Does 5962-9678201QSA support hot-swap or live-insertion?
The 5962-9678201QSA does not include built-in hot-swap protection circuitry. Its absolute maximum ratings specify VI and VO limits but do not guarantee safe insertion under power. To avoid damage, power sequencing must ensure VCC is stable before applying input signals, and OE pins should be held high (Hi-Z) until power is fully established - per guidance in Section 9.1 of the datasheet.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) for 5962-9678201QSA in its CFP-20 package?
The 5962-9678201QSA uses a CFP-20 package with no published RθJA value because hermetic ceramic packages like CFP are not characterized using standard JEDEC RθJA test methods. Instead, thermal performance is evaluated via junction-to-case (RθJC) and junction-to-board (RθJB) metrics - neither of which appear in the SCLS226K datasheet for CFP variants. System-level thermal modeling is required.
Can 5962-9678201QSA drive a 50-pF load at 5 V with guaranteed timing?
Yes - the 5962-9678201QSA guarantees tPLH/tPHL ≤ 8.5 ns and tPZH/tPZL ≤ 10.5 ns when driving a 50-pF load at VCC = 5 V ± 0.5 V (Section 7.7). These values are production-tested per MIL-PRF-38535 requirements and apply across the full –55°C to +125°C operating range, making it suitable for high-fidelity bus timing in real-time control systems.
Is 5962-9678201QSA pin-compatible with commercial SN74AHC244 variants?
No - while electrically identical, 5962-9678201QSA uses a 20-pin CFP package with 0.025-inch lead pitch and ceramic body, whereas commercial SN74AHC244 variants use SOIC, SSOP, TSSOP, or PDIP packages with different footprints and soldering profiles. PCB layout, reflow profile, and mechanical mounting are not interchangeable.
