Product details
Overview
5962-9681901QRA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for asynchronous bidirectional data transfer between 5 V buses in harsh-environment systems. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, features TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V), supports –55°C to +125°C operation, and provides 8-bit A↔B channel direction control via DIR and output isolation via OE.
For engineers reviewing the 5962-9681901QRA datasheet, 5962-9681901QRA pinout, 5962-9681901QRA application, or 5962-9681901QRA equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, CDIP package details, functional mode table, real-world use cases in avionics and defense computing, and two validated alternative parts with documented differences.
Technical Context
The 5962-9681901QRA implements dual-bus bidirectional communication using a single DIR control line to select data flow direction (A→B or B→A) and an active-low OE input to place all outputs in high-impedance state. Its CMOS design ensures low static current (ICC ≤ 40 µA) and TTL-voltage compatibility at inputs.
It meets MIL-PRF-38535 Class Q requirements, with latch-up immunity >250 mA per JESD17, ESD protection exceeding 2000-V HBM, and guaranteed operation across –55°C to +125°C. Propagation delay is 4.5–10 ns (CL = 15 pF) with controlled edge rates to minimize ringing on transmission lines.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures stable operation under regulated 5 V rail with ±10% tolerance in military power systems. |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - Qualified for extended-range deployment in airborne, ground vehicle, and space-qualified electronics. |
| Propagation Delay | 4.5 ns (min), 10 ns (max) at CL = 15 pF - Enables reliable timing in synchronous bus interfaces up to ~100 MHz effective throughput. |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA (IOH/IOL) - Sufficient to drive standard TTL loads and short PCB traces without external buffering. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-level: VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V - Interoperates directly with legacy 5 V TTL logic and mixed-voltage 3.3 V microcontrollers. |
| 3-State Leakage | ±2.5 µA (IOZ) - Minimizes bus contention current when outputs are disabled, critical for hot-swap and shared-bus architectures. |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM - Meets MIL-STD-883 requirement for handling robustness in production and field maintenance environments. |
Pinout & Package
5962-9681901QRA is supplied in a 20-pin Ceramic Dual In-line Package (CDIP-J), with 0.300-inch body width, through-hole mounting, and hermetically sealed construction for high-reliability applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction Control Input | Logic level selects data path: DIR = L enables B→A; DIR = H enables A→B - eliminates need for external bus arbitration logic. |
| 2–9 (A1–A8) | Port A I/O | Bidirectional data lines tied to one bus segment; internally isolated when OE = H - allows safe connection to live backplanes. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary signal return; must be connected before VCC during power sequencing to prevent latch-up. |
| 11–18 (B1–B8) | Port B I/O | Bidirectional data lines tied to second bus segment; electrically identical to A-port with independent 3-state control. |
| 19 (OE) | Output Enable Input | Active-low; when high, forces all A/B outputs into high-Z - enables dynamic bus sharing and prevents conflicts during reset. |
| 20 (VCC) | Power Supply | +5 V supply pin; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed within 5 mm for noise suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-Voltage Compatible Inputs | Accepts 0.8 V / 2.0 V thresholds - eliminates level-shifter components when interfacing with legacy 5 V TTL or 3.3 V MCU GPIOs. |
| MIL-PRF-38535 Qualification | Class Q screening including burn-in, temperature cycling, and radiation hardness assurance - required for flight-critical and defense subsystems. |
| Controlled Edge Rates | Slow transition times reduce overshoot/undershoot on unterminated traces - improves signal integrity on long backplane runs without termination resistors. |
| High-Impedance Isolation | Outputs enter <1 µA leakage state when OE = H - prevents loading of idle buses and enables multi-drop configurations. |
| Latch-Up Immunity | Exceeds 250 mA per JESD17 - withstands transient overcurrent events common in avionics power-up sequences and EMI coupling. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54AHCT245J | Same CDIP-J package, identical pinout and electrical specs; differs only in TI's internal part numbering convention and lot trace format. | No functional difference; both qualified to MIL-PRF-38535 Class Q with identical screening flow and test limits. | Select SNJ54AHCT245J if sourcing from legacy TI military catalogs or when matching existing BOM nomenclature. |
| 5962-9681901Q2A | Uses LCCC-FK ceramic package instead of CDIP-J; same die, but different thermal resistance (RθJA = 116.1°C/W vs 51.5°C/W) and mounting method (surface-mount vs through-hole). | Preferred for high-vibration environments where solder joint reliability exceeds through-hole leads; unsuitable for manual prototyping or wave-solder assembly. | Choose 5962-9681901Q2A for surface-mount PCBs requiring superior mechanical stability and lower profile in SWaP-constrained platforms. |
Compared with SNJ54AHCT245J, 5962-9681901QRA offers identical functionality and qualification but distinct logistics marking and traceability; versus 5962-9681901Q2A, it trades higher thermal resistance for easier through-hole assembly and legacy board compatibility.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range specified for the 5962-9681901QRA?
The 5962-9681901QRA is rated for operation from –55°C to +125°C, fully qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 Class Q requirements. This range is validated across all electrical parameters including propagation delay, output drive, and leakage current, making it suitable for extreme-environment deployment in aircraft, vehicles, and space systems where ambient conditions exceed commercial-grade limits.
Does the 5962-9681901QRA require external pull-up resistors on its control pins?
Yes - the OE pin should be tied to VCC through a pull-up resistor during power-up to ensure outputs remain in high-impedance state until firmware initializes direction and enable logic. TI recommends a resistor value no greater than 10 kΩ to guarantee fast disable response; DIR may float only if system logic guarantees known state prior to operation, but best practice is to bias it actively.
Can the 5962-9681901QRA interface between 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains?
Yes - the 5962-9681901QRA accepts TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) and operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, allowing direct connection to 3.3 V outputs driving into its inputs. Its outputs swing rail-to-rail at 5 V, enabling clean 3.3 V → 5 V level translation without external components, confirmed in TI's Application Report SCBA004.
What packaging type is used for the 5962-9681901QRA?
The 5962-9681901QRA uses a 20-pin Ceramic Dual In-line Package (CDIP-J) with 0.300-inch body width, hermetic ceramic construction, and through-hole leads. This package meets MIL-STD-883 requirements for moisture resistance, thermal cycling endurance, and mechanical shock survivability in high-reliability military and aerospace applications.
How does the DIR pin control data flow direction in the 5962-9681901QRA?
The DIR pin is a single logic-level input that determines bidirectional data path: when DIR = Low, data flows from Port B to Port A; when DIR = High, data flows from Port A to Port B. This function is independent of OE status - direction remains defined even when outputs are disabled, enabling predictable bus arbitration in multi-master systems using the 5962-9681901QRA.
