Product details

Overview

5962-9851601QFA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade 3-line-to-8-line decoder/demultiplexer in CFP (Ceramic Flatpack) package with 16 pins, operating from −55°C to 125°C, featuring dual active-low and single active-high enable inputs, propagation delays as low as 5.6 ns at 5 V, and ±25 mA output drive capability. It is used in high-reliability aerospace memory decoding and data-routing systems where latch-up immunity (>250 mA per JESD 17) and ESD robustness (2000-V HBM) are critical.

For engineers reviewing the 5962-9851601QFA datasheet, 5962-9851601QFA pinout, 5962-9851601QFA application, or 5962-9851601QFA equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, functional truth table behavior, thermal performance (θ_JA not specified for W package but derived from MIL-PRF-38535 compliance), and precise substitution guidance for radiation-tolerant system design.

Technical Context

The 5962-9851601QFA implements a standard binary-decoded 3-to-8 logic function with three independent enable controls (G1, G2A, G2B), allowing cascading of multiple units without external inverters - enabling 24-line decoding natively and 32-line with one external inverter. Its AHC logic family ensures CMOS-level power efficiency with TTL-compatible thresholds.

It operates across full military temperature range (−55°C to 125°C) under 2-V to 5.5-V supply, supports 15 pF/50 pF load switching, and meets MIL-PRF-38535 Class V requirements including screening for burn-in, temperature cycling, and hermeticity - confirmed by its CFP-W package and QML qualification.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 3-to-8 decoder applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
SNJ54AHC138J	Same AHC core, CDIP-16 package; θ_JA ≈ 67°C/W vs CFP-W's superior thermal resistance in conduction-cooled chassis	Preferred for through-hole prototyping and legacy board rework; lacks CFP's hermetic seal and vibration resistance	Select SNJ54AHC138J only when manual assembly or socket-based test fixtures are required
5962-9851601Q2A	LCCC-20 package with identical electrical specs but different pinout (20-pin vs 16-pin); includes NC pins and separate V_CC/GND pairs for noise isolation	Used in ultra-high-reliability systems requiring dual power/ground paths and enhanced RF immunity - e.g., missile guidance computers	Choose 5962-9851601Q2A when board layout supports 20-pin footprint and signal integrity demands exceed CFP-W capabilities

Compared with SNJ54AHC138J and 5962-9851601Q2A, the 5962-9851601QFA offers optimal balance of hermetic reliability, compact 16-pin CFP footprint, and proven field performance in airborne radar and UAV flight controllers - making it the preferred choice for new designs constrained by volume and thermal envelope.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating temperature for the 5962-9851601QFA?

The 5962-9851601QFA is rated for continuous operation from −55°C to +125°C, fully compliant with MIL-PRF-38535 Class V screening requirements. This range is validated through temperature cycling, burn-in, and parametric testing across the full interval - making the 5962-9851601QFA suitable for jet engine-mounted ECUs and satellite power conditioning units exposed to extreme thermal gradients.

Does the 5962-9851601QFA support 3.3-V operation?

Yes, the 5962-9851601QFA operates reliably at 3.3 V, with guaranteed VOH ≥ 2.58 V and VOL ≤ 0.36 V under I_OH = −4 mA / I_OL = 4 mA loads. Its AHC logic family maintains full functionality across 2 V to 5.5 V, enabling direct interfacing with 3.3-V FPGAs and microcontrollers without level-shifting circuitry - a key advantage in mixed-voltage avionics backplanes.

How many enable inputs does the 5962-9851601QFA have, and what are their logic polarities?

The 5962-9851601QFA has three enable inputs: G1 (active-high), G2A (active-low), and G2B (active-low). All three must be simultaneously asserted - i.e., G1 = HIGH, G2A = LOW, G2B = LOW - to activate any Y output. This architecture minimizes external gating in cascaded decoder trees and supports demultiplexing by using G1 as a data input while holding G2A/G2B constant.

Is the 5962-9851601QFA pin-compatible with commercial SN74AHC138 variants?

No - the 5962-9851601QFA uses a 16-pin CFP-W package with industry-standard pinout matching the SNJ54AHC138W, but differs from SOIC (D), TSSOP (PW), or TVSOP (DGV) commercial variants in mechanical dimensions, thermal profile, and lead finish. Electrical pin functions are identical, but PCB land patterns and reflow profiles are not interchangeable due to hermetic ceramic construction and gold-plated leads.

What is the propagation delay of the 5962-9851601QFA at 5 V?

At V_CC = 5 V and C_L = 15 pF, the 5962-9851601QFA exhibits typical propagation delays of 5.6 ns (t_PHL, G1→Y), 5.7 ns (t_PLH, A→Y), and 5.8 ns (t_PLH, G2A→Y), with maximum values of 9.5 ns across all paths. These values are production-tested per MIL-PRF-38535 and ensure timing predictability in synchronous systems with ≤100 MHz clock domains.
