Product details
Overview
5962-9680301Q2A from Texas Instruments is a military-grade hex unbuffered inverter IC operating across −55°C to 125°C, featuring six independent CMOS inverters (Y = A), 2-V to 5.5-V supply range, unbuffered outputs for crystal oscillator use, and JESD 17 latch-up immunity >250 mA. It serves in high-reliability timing, clock buffering, and signal inversion within aerospace avionics and defense control systems.
For engineers reviewing the 5962-9680301Q2A datasheet, 5962-9680301Q2A pinout, 5962-9680301Q2A application, or 5962-9680301Q2A equivalent, key selection considerations include its LCCC-20 package, MIL-PRF-38535 compliance, unbuffered output architecture, −55°C to 125°C operation, and suitability for analog oscillator circuits requiring low propagation delay and rail-to-rail switching.
Technical Context
The 5962-9680301Q2A implements six single-stage CMOS inverters with no internal buffering-enabling direct integration into Pierce-type crystal oscillator topologies. Its input and output stages are optimized for low capacitive loading and minimal phase shift, supporting stable oscillation at fundamental frequencies up to several MHz.
Designed per MIL-PRF-38535 Class V requirements, the device guarantees full parametric testing across temperature extremes, including absolute maximum ratings (−0.5 V to 7 V supply), ESD robustness (2000-V HBM), and latch-up immunity exceeding 250 mA. All unused inputs must be tied to VCC or GND to prevent floating-node instability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2 V to 5.5 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing and battery-backed operation down to 2 V logic levels. |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 3.5 ns min / 6.5 ns max at VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF - enables high-speed digital inversion without added latency in feedback paths. |
| Output Drive (IOL/IOH) | ±8 mA at VCC = 5 V - sufficient to drive moderate capacitive loads and multiple CMOS inputs without external buffers. |
| Input Thresholds (VIH/VIL) | VIH = 4.4 V, VIL = 1.1 V at VCC = 5.5 V - provides wide noise margin (>1.1 V) for reliable logic-level discrimination in noisy environments. |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - meets MIL-STD-883 requirement for handling and board-level survivability in field-deployed systems. |
| Latch-Up Immunity | >250 mA per JESD 17 - prevents destructive parasitic SCR activation during transient overcurrent events in power-up or fault conditions. |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended-range operation in engine bays, radar housings, and space-qualified electronics. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54AHCU04J | CDIP-14 package, same die, identical electrical specs, but lower thermal resistance (80°C/W vs. LCCC's ~110°C/W) and non-hermetic construction. | Preferred for lab prototyping and non-hermetic chassis-mount applications where moisture ingress risk is low. | Select SNJ54AHCU04J when mechanical ruggedness is secondary to ease of hand-soldering and socket compatibility. |
| SNJ54AHCU04W | CFP-14 package, same die, identical specs, but gold-plated leads and higher reliability screening than J-package; MSL not applicable. | Suitable for hybrid microcircuit assemblies and multi-chip modules requiring wire-bond interconnects. | Choose SNJ54AHCU04W when integrating into hermetic hybrids or when long-term storage stability under humidity is required. |
Compared with SNJ54AHCU04J and SNJ54AHCU04W, the 5962-9680301Q2A offers superior hermeticity and thermal cycling endurance in LCCC-20, making it the only choice for embedded avionics modules subject to rapid altitude-induced thermal shock.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the 5962-9680301Q2A?
The 5962-9680301Q2A is rated for operation from −55°C to +125°C, fully qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 Class V requirements. This range is verified through temperature cycling, steady-state burn-in, and parametric testing at both extremes - making it suitable for engine-mounted control units, satellite payload electronics, and airborne radar subsystems where ambient thermal stress exceeds commercial limits.
Is the 5962-9680301Q2A pin-compatible with commercial SN74AHCU04 variants?
No, the 5962-9680301Q2A uses an LCCC-20 package with 20 terminals and specific NC pin assignments, whereas commercial SN74AHCU04 variants use 14-pin packages (SOIC-D, TSSOP-PW, PDIP-N, etc.). The internal logic function is identical, but PCB layout, footprint, and thermal management must be redesigned for the LCCC-20 form factor and hermetic sealing requirements of the 5962-9680301Q2A.
Can the 5962-9680301Q2A be used in crystal oscillator circuits?
Yes, the 5962-9680301Q2A is explicitly designed for crystal oscillator use due to its unbuffered CMOS inverter architecture. Its low input capacitance, rail-to-rail switching, and absence of internal buffering minimize phase shift and enable stable oscillation in Pierce configurations - a capability confirmed in TI's SCLS234K datasheet and widely deployed in MIL-STD-1553 bus clock generators and GPS receiver reference oscillators.
Does the 5962-9680301Q2A require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
Yes, all unused inputs of the 5962-9680301Q2A must be tied to either VCC or GND to prevent floating nodes, which can cause excessive current draw, logic instability, or localized heating. TI's application report SCBA004 ("Implications of Slow or Floating CMOS Inputs") mandates this practice - especially critical in high-reliability systems where undetected input drift could compromise functional safety.
What is the maximum supply voltage the 5962-9680301Q2A can withstand?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for the 5962-9680301Q2A is 7 V, as specified in the "Absolute Maximum Ratings" table of the SCLS234K datasheet. Operation above 5.5 V is not recommended for sustained use, as it exceeds the recommended operating condition and may accelerate wear-out mechanisms or violate latch-up immunity margins - particularly under temperature stress.
