Product details
Overview
5962-9680301QCA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade hex unbuffered inverter IC operating from 2 V to 5.5 V, delivering 8 mA output drive at 5 V, with propagation delays as low as 3.5 ns (tPLH/tPHL, VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF), and qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 for −55°C to +125°C operation in CDIP-J package. It serves as a logic-level signal inverter in high-reliability timing, oscillator, and interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 5962-9680301QCA datasheet, 5962-9680301QCA pinout, 5962-9680301QCA application, or 5962-9680301QCA equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specs, military temperature range validation, CDIP-J package dimensions, unbuffered output behavior, latch-up immunity (>250 mA), and ESD robustness (2000-V HBM) - all confirmed from TI's official SCLS234K datasheet and packaging addendum.
Technical Context
The 5962-9680301QCA implements six independent single-stage CMOS inverters with unbuffered outputs, enabling use in crystal oscillator feedback loops and analog switching applications. Its input threshold scales with VCC (VIH = 0.7×VCC, VIL = 0.3×VCC), and it exhibits rail-to-rail output swing under load.
Designed for military systems, it meets JESD 17 latch-up immunity (>250 mA), JESD 22 ESD ratings (2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM), and operates across −55°C to +125°C with full parameter testing per MIL-PRF-38535 requirements.
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. |
| Propagation Delay | 3.5 ns min / 6.5 ns max (VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF) - enables high-speed logic inversion in timing-critical control paths. |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA (IOH/IOL, VCC = 5 V) - sufficient to drive multiple CMOS inputs or small capacitive loads without external buffering. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 4.4 V, VIL = 1.1 V (VCC = 5.5 V) - ensures noise margin >0.9 V and reliable TTL/CMOS compatibility. |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to +125°C - fully specified and tested per MIL-PRF-38535 for aerospace, defense, and downhole electronics. |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - exceeds standard industrial requirements, reducing board-level protection needs. |
| Latch-Up Immunity | >250 mA per JESD 17 - prevents destructive latch-up during transient overvoltage or hot-swap events. |
Pinout & Package
5962-9680301QCA is housed in a 14-pin Ceramic Dual-In-Line Package (CDIP-J), hermetically sealed for high-reliability environments. Package outline conforms to JEDEC MS-012, with 0.300-inch wide body, 0.100-inch lead pitch, and through-hole mounting.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 13 | Input (A1–A6) | CMOS-compatible logic inputs; each drives one inverter stage; unused inputs must be tied to VCC or GND. |
| 2, 4, 6, 10, 12, 14 | Output (Y1–Y6) | Unbuffered CMOS outputs; rail-to-rail swing; suitable for oscillator feedback and analog switching. |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and output return path. |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply rail (2–5.5 V); decoupling capacitor required near pin for stable high-speed operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unbuffered Output Architecture | Enables direct integration into Pierce crystal oscillator topologies without added phase shift or gain stages. |
| MIL-PRF-38535 Qualification | Full parametric testing across −55°C to +125°C, including screening, burn-in, and lot acceptance tests per QML Class V. |
| Rail-to-Rail Output Swing | VOH ≥ 4.3 V and VOL ≤ 0.5 V at VCC = 5 V - ensures maximum noise margin and interoperability with downstream logic. |
| Low Input Capacitance | Ci = 10 pF max - minimizes loading on preceding drivers and preserves signal integrity in fan-out-sensitive nodes. |
| Single-Stage Inverter Core | Eliminates internal buffering delay, yielding minimal propagation latency critical for clock generation and edge-sensitive control. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54AHCU04FK | LCCC-20 package, same electrical specs, higher thermal resistance (θJA ≈ 120°C/W vs. CDIP-J's ~80°C/W). | Better suited for surface-mount hybrid assemblies with strict weight/vibration requirements; less optimal for through-hole chassis mounting. | Select when board space is constrained and hermetic SMT packaging is mandated by system mechanical design. |
| 5962-9680301QDA | CFP-14 package, identical logic function and military qualification, but with glass-sealed ceramic flatpack construction and different lead form. | Preferred for ultra-high-reliability applications requiring zero moisture ingress and superior long-term hermeticity (MIL-STD-883 Method 1014). | Choose when lifetime reliability exceeds 20 years in sealed enclosures or vacuum environments, and CFP mechanical compliance is specified. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for the 5962-9680301QCA?
The 5962-9680301QCA has an absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC) of 7 V, but its recommended operating range is 2 V to 5.5 V per the SCLS234K datasheet. Operation above 5.5 V risks exceeding functional limits and voids MIL-PRF-38535 compliance guarantees. The 5962-9680301QCA must be powered within 2–5.5 V for guaranteed timing, drive strength, and logic thresholds.
Does the 5962-9680301QCA support crystal oscillator applications?
Yes - the 5962-9680301QCA features unbuffered CMOS inverters explicitly characterized for use in crystal oscillator circuits, including Pierce configurations. Its single-stage architecture, rail-to-rail output, and low input capacitance (10 pF) make the 5962-9680301QCA suitable for stable, low-jitter clock generation across −55°C to +125°C without external phase compensation.
Is the 5962-9680301QCA pin-compatible with commercial SN74AHCU04 variants?
No - while electrically identical, the 5962-9680301QCA uses a 14-pin CDIP-J package with 0.300-inch width and through-hole leads, whereas commercial SN74AHCU04 variants use SOIC-D, TSSOP-PW, or PDIP-N packages with different footprints and thermal characteristics. PCB layout and assembly processes are not interchangeable between 5962-9680301QCA and commercial versions.
What ESD protection level does the 5962-9680301QCA meet?
The 5962-9680301QCA exceeds JESD 22 standards with 2000-V Human-Body Model (HBM), 200-V Machine Model (MM), and 1000-V Charged-Device Model (CDM) ratings. These values are verified per MIL-PRF-38535 testing and apply across the full −55°C to +125°C temperature range, making the 5962-9680301QCA suitable for handling in uncontrolled environments without additional board-level ESD safeguards.
How is the 5962-9680301QCA qualified for military use?
The 5962-9680301QCA is fully qualified to MIL-PRF-38535 Class V, including lot-by-lot testing for all parameters across −55°C to +125°C, burn-in, temperature cycling, and hermeticity verification. Its CDIP-J package meets MIL-STD-883 requirements, and the 5962-9680301QCA carries QML certification with traceable lot documentation and 100% screening - confirming suitability for flight-critical and strategic defense systems.
