Product details
Overview
5962-9678201VSA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade octal buffer/driver IC with 3-state outputs, designed for high-reliability bus interface applications in aerospace and defense systems. It features dual 4-bit channels, 2-V to 5.5-V operation, ±25 mA output drive per pin, and operates across –55°C to +125°C. Used in radiation-tolerant avionics data buses and secure military communication backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the 5962-9678201VSA datasheet, 5962-9678201VSA pinout, 5962-9678201VSA application, or 5962-9678201VSA equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, CFP package dimensions, functional mode behavior, real-world use cases, and validated alternative parts for MIL-PRF-38535-compliant design-in.
Technical Context
The 5962-9678201VSA implements two independent 4-bit noninverting buffers, each controlled by a dedicated output-enable (OE) input. When OE is low, data passes from A inputs to Y outputs; when OE is high, outputs enter high-impedance state - enabling bidirectional bus sharing without contention.
It uses advanced CMOS AHC logic with overvoltage-tolerant inputs (up to 5.5 V), slow edge-rate control to suppress output ringing, and latch-up immunity exceeding 250 mA per JESD17. Designed specifically for MIL-PRF-38535 Class V qualification, all parameters are production-tested under extended temperature and radiation-hardened conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2 V to 5.5 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing and down-translation from 5.5 V inputs to lower VCC rails. |
| Output Drive | ±25 mA per output - sufficient to drive terminated transmission lines and multiple CMOS loads without external buffering. |
| Propagation Delay | 3.9 ns (min) at 5 V, CL = 15 pF - enables timing-critical address/data bus expansion in real-time avionics subsystems. |
| Operating Temp | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for extreme-environment deployment in missile guidance, satellite payload, and airborne radar. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | VI up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC - allows safe interfacing with legacy 5 V logic while operating at 3.3 V or 2.5 V supply. |
| Quiescent Current | 4 µA typical at 5.5 V - minimizes standby power in battery-backed or energy-constrained military platforms. |
| ESD Rating | HBM: 1500 V, CDM: 2000 V - meets MIL-STD-883 requirements for handling robustness in field-deployable electronics. |
Pinout & Package
5962-9678201VSA is supplied in a 20-pin Ceramic Flatpack (CFP) package (Package Drawing W), measuring 12.7 mm × 12.7 mm × 3.18 mm with side-brazed leads. The hermetic ceramic construction ensures long-term reliability in high-humidity, high-vibration, and radiation-exposed environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | 1OE, 2OE | Active-low output enable controls for Channel 1 and Channel 2 - tie high via pullup during power-up to prevent bus contention. |
| 2, 4, 6, 8, 11, 13, 15, 17 | 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4 | Eight buffered data inputs - accept overvoltage inputs up to 5.5 V independent of VCC level. |
| 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 14, 16, 18 | 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4 | Eight 3-state noninverting outputs - high-impedance when respective OE is high; drive ±25 mA when enabled. |
| 10 | GND | Digital ground reference - requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane for noise immunity. |
| 20 | VCC | Power supply input - must be bypassed with ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed within 2 mm of pin for stable switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MIL-PRF-38535 Class V Qualification | Fully tested per military screening including burn-in, temperature cycling, and radiation hardness assurance for flight-critical systems. |
| Overvoltage-Tolerant Inputs | Accepts 5.5 V signals at any valid VCC (2–5.5 V), enabling seamless voltage translation between legacy 5 V and modern low-voltage subsystems. |
| Controlled Edge Rates | Slow rise/fall times minimize EMI and output ringing on long PCB traces - critical for signal integrity in high-speed avionics backplanes. |
| High-Drive 3-State Outputs | ±25 mA per output supports driving multiple loads or unterminated stubs without external line drivers in ruggedized I/O modules. |
| Latch-Up Immunity | Exceeds 250 mA per JESD17 - prevents destructive latch-up during transient overvoltage events in electrically noisy aircraft environments. |
Applications
| Avionics Data Bus Interface | Military Secure Communication Backplane |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal buffer/3-state driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5962-9678201QSA | Same die, CFP package (W drawing), but Class Q (MIL-PRF-38535 QML-38535 Class Q) - lower screening rigor than Class V. | Approved for non-flight-critical ground support equipment and test benches where full flight qualification is not required. | Select 5962-9678201QSA when cost reduction is prioritized and radiation/environmental stress testing is less stringent. |
| SNJ54AHC244W | Same CFP/W package and pinout, but unqualified commercial-grade variant - no MIL-PRF-38535 screening or extended temp validation. | Suitable only for lab prototyping or non-mission-critical development hardware; not approved for deployment in certified systems. | Use SNJ54AHC244W solely for early-stage schematic capture and layout verification before committing to qualified 5962-9678201VSA. |
Compared with 5962-9678201QSA and SNJ54AHC244W, the 5962-9678201VSA delivers full Class V qualification, guaranteed operation across –55°C to +125°C, and radiation hardness assurance - making it the sole choice for flight-qualified avionics, missile guidance, and space-qualified instrumentation where failure is not an option.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the 5962-9678201VSA?
The 5962-9678201VSA is fully specified and tested over –55°C to +125°C, meeting MIL-PRF-38535 Class V requirements for extreme-environment deployment. This range is validated through temperature cycling, burn-in, and parametric testing at both extremes - ensuring reliable operation in missile guidance systems, satellite payloads, and airborne radar subsystems where thermal stress is severe.
Does the 5962-9678201VSA support voltage translation between different logic families?
Yes, the 5962-9678201VSA supports down-translation: its inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC setting (2–5.5 V), allowing 5 V TTL or LVTTL signals to safely interface with 3.3 V or 2.5 V AHC logic domains. This capability is production-tested and documented in the Recommended Operating Conditions table of the SCLS226K datasheet for the 5962-9678201VSA.
Is the 5962-9678201VSA pin-compatible with commercial SN74AHC244 variants?
No - while the 5962-9678201VSA shares identical logic functionality and pin numbering with SN74AHC244, its CFP (W) package has different mechanical dimensions, lead pitch, and soldering requirements than SOIC, SSOP, or TSSOP packages used by commercial versions. Board-level replacement requires redesign; however, schematic-level substitution is functionally valid when qualifying for MIL-PRF-38535 compliance.
What is the maximum output current rating per pin for the 5962-9678201VSA?
The 5962-9678201VSA delivers ±25 mA DC output current per Y pin when enabled, as confirmed in Section 7.3 (Recommended Operating Conditions) of the SCLS226K datasheet. This rating applies across the full temperature range and is validated during MIL-PRF-38535 screening - supporting direct drive of terminated buses, LEDs, and multiple CMOS inputs without external buffers in the 5962-9678201VSA design.
How does the 5962-9678201VSA handle unused inputs?
All unused inputs of the 5962-9678201VSA must be tied to VCC or GND to prevent floating states that cause increased ICC, noise coupling, or undefined logic behavior. This requirement is explicitly stated in Section 7.3 of the SCLS226K datasheet and enforced during MIL-PRF-38535 testing. Leaving inputs unconnected violates qualification and may compromise timing or EMI performance in the 5962-9678201VSA.
