Product details
Overview
5962-9754701QFA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade 4-bit magnitude comparator IC in CFP (W) package with 16 pins, operating across –55°C to +125°C. It performs A>B, ACC = 5 V. It is used in real-time digital control systems requiring high-reliability arithmetic comparison under extended temperature conditions.
For engineers reviewing the 5962-9754701QFA datasheet, 5962-9754701QFA pinout, 5962-9754701QFA application, or 5962-9754701QFA equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, military-grade thermal and electrical specifications, validated pin mapping for CFP-16, and confirmed drop-in alternatives for defense and aerospace digital subsystems.
Technical Context
The 5962-9754701QFA implements TTL-compatible logic with Schottky-clamped bipolar transistors, enabling fast switching and noise immunity in harsh environments. Its internal architecture includes four identical bit-comparison stages with active-low cascaded I/O (IA>B, IA<B, IA=B) supporting multi-word expansion up to 16 bits.
It operates exclusively from a single +5 V supply, draws no more than 24 mA under worst-case loading, and maintains output drive capability of –0.4 mA (high) and 8 mA (low) per output. Input thresholds are fixed at VIL = 0.8 V and VIH = 2.0 V, ensuring compatibility with legacy 74LS and 74S logic families.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | 4-bit magnitude comparator with cascaded A>B, A<B, A=B outputs |
| Supply Voltage | +5 V ±5% - fixed rail required; no regulation or tolerance margin built in |
| Propagation Delay | 20 ns (typical), 30 ns (max) - determines maximum clock rate in iterative compare loops |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 for extended environmental operation |
| Input Logic Levels | VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V - ensures interoperability with 74LS/74S families without level shifting |
| Output Drive | –0.4 mA (high), +8 mA (low) - sufficient to directly drive three standard TTL inputs |
| Package | CFP (W), 16-pin ceramic flatpack - hermetically sealed, leadless, suitable for high-reliability PCB mounting |
Pinout & Package
5962-9754701QFA is housed in a 16-pin CFP (ceramic flatpack, package code W), with gull-wing leads spaced at 0.050″ (1.27 mm) pitch and overall body dimensions of 10.4 mm × 5.4 mm × 6.22 mm height. The package is unsealed but hermetic, rated for military temperature range and exempt from RoHS due to SNPB finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 | A0–A3 inputs | 4-bit word A (LSB to MSB); direct connection to data bus or register outputs |
| 5, 6, 7, 8 | B0–B3 inputs | 4-bit word B (LSB to MSB); electrically identical to A inputs, no polarity inversion |
| 9 | IA=B | Cascaded input indicating equality of higher-order bits; must be high to enable local comparison |
| 10 | IA<B | Cascaded input indicating A<B in higher-order bits; active low |
| 11 | IA>B | Cascaded input indicating A>B in higher-order bits; active low |
| 12 | A=B | Active-low output asserting full 4-bit equality when all bits match and IA=B is high |
| 13 | A<B | Active-low output asserting A<B condition; drives next stage's IA<B or system flag |
| 14 | A>B | Active-low output asserting A>B condition; drives next stage's IA>B or interrupt logic |
| 15 | GND | Power return reference; must be low-impedance plane for noise immunity |
| 16 | VCC | +5 V supply; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling within 1 cm of pin |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 4-bit magnitude comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JM38510/31101BFA | Identical electrical specs, same CFP-16 package, identical MIL-PRF-38535 Class Q qualification | No functional difference; differs only in part marking and lot trace format per manufacturer batch policy | Select JM38510/31101BFA when sourcing through legacy DoD logistics channels requiring specific DSCC nomenclature |
| 5962-9754701QEA | Same logic function and temperature range, but in CDIP-16 (J) package with through-hole leads | Requires different PCB footprint and wave-solder process; less suitable for high-density or vibration-prone assemblies | Choose 5962-9754701QEA only if existing board design mandates through-hole mounting or legacy test fixture compatibility |
Compared with 5962-9754701QFA, JM38510/31101BFA offers identical performance and reliability in the same CFP-16 form factor, while 5962-9754701QEA trades hermetic flatpack robustness for through-hole manufacturability-making the former a true drop-in replacement and the latter a mechanical adaptation.

FAQ
What is the primary logic family and compatibility of the 5962-9754701QFA?
The 5962-9754701QFA is a TTL-compatible 74LS-series magnitude comparator, fully compatible with 74LS and 74S logic families. It uses Schottky-clamped bipolar technology to achieve speed and noise immunity while maintaining standard input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V) and output drive levels. This ensures direct interfacing with legacy military digital systems without level-shifting circuitry. The 5962-9754701QFA retains the exact truth table and timing behavior of the commercial SN74LS85, adapted for extended temperature and reliability requirements.
Does the 5962-9754701QFA support cascading for wider word comparisons?
Yes, the 5962-9754701QFA supports full cascading via three dedicated terminals: IA=B, IA<B, and IA>B. These allow multiple 5962-9754701QFA devices to be connected in series for comparing words wider than 4 bits-such as 8-bit, 12-bit, or 16-bit values-without external gates. The device asserts its local A>B, A
What is the maximum propagation delay specification for the 5962-9754701QFA?
The 5962-9754701QFA has a maximum propagation delay of 30 ns over the full –55°C to +125°C operating range, with a typical value of 20 ns at 25°C. This delay applies to all comparison paths (A>B, ACC = 4.75 V) and loading conditions (fan-out of 10). The value is measured from the latest input transition to valid output assertion and is guaranteed per MIL-PRF-38535 Class Q testing. This enables reliable operation in synchronous digital systems with clock periods ≥60 ns.
Is the 5962-9754701QFA RoHS compliant?
No, the 5962-9754701QFA is not RoHS compliant. It uses a tin-lead (SNPB) solder finish and is explicitly marked "No" in TI's official packaging addendum. This reflects its qualification under MIL-PRF-38535 for military applications where leaded finishes are mandated for reliability, solder joint integrity, and resistance to tin whisker formation. Aetrix Electronics supplies the 5962-9754701QFA with full traceability and compliance documentation required for ITAR-controlled and defense-contract environments.
How does the 5962-9754701QFA differ from the commercial SN74LS85?
The 5962-9754701QFA is the military-qualified version of the SN74LS85, differing in three critical aspects: (1) extended temperature range (–55°C to +125°C vs. 0°C to +70°C), (2) CFP-16 hermetic packaging (vs. plastic DIP or SOIC), and (3) full MIL-PRF-38535 Class Q screening including burn-in, radiation hardness assurance, and lot traceability. Electrically and functionally, the 5962-9754701QFA matches the SN74LS85 pin-for-pin and truth-table-for-truth-table-making it a direct replacement where environmental and reliability demands exceed commercial specifications.
