Product details
Overview
5962-9851701QEA from Texas Instruments is a military-grade 3-line to 8-line decoder/demultiplexer in CDIP-16 package, operating over −55°C to 125°C, with TTL-compatible inputs, 7.6 ns typical propagation delay (VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF), ±8 mA output drive, and triple enable logic for cascaded memory decoding in avionics and defense systems.
For engineers reviewing the 5962-9851701QEA datasheet, 5962-9851701QEA pinout, 5962-9851701QEA application, or 5962-9851701QEA equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, validated pin mapping, confirmed military temperature and reliability specs, and real-world use context for high-reliability system integration.
Technical Context
The 5962-9851701QEA implements active-high select decoding with three independent enables: one active-high (G1) and two active-low (G2A, G2B), enabling flexible cascading without external inverters. Its logic architecture ensures only one of eight Y0–Y7 outputs goes low per valid input combination while all others remain high.
Designed per MIL-PRF-38535 Class V requirements, it features latch-up immunity >250 mA (JESD 17), ESD protection exceeding 2000-V HBM, and operates at 4.5 V–5.5 V supply with guaranteed VIH ≥2.0 V and VIL ≤0.8 V - ensuring robust interoperability with legacy TTL and mixed-voltage control buses.

Pinout & Package
5962-9851701QEA uses a 16-pin Ceramic Dual-In-Line Package (CDIP-J), hermetically sealed for harsh-environment operation. Pin spacing is 0.100″ (2.54 mm), with 0.300″ body width and 0.200″ height - compliant with MIL-STD-883 packaging standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G2A) | Active-low enable input | Must be low to activate decoding; used with G2B and G1 for hierarchical enable control |
| 2 (G2B) | Active-low enable input | Second active-low enable; both G2A and G2B must be low for function enable |
| 3 (G1) | Active-high enable input | Must be high to activate decoding; simplifies cascading with minimal external logic |
| 4 (C) | MSB address input | Binary select line C (A2); determines upper half of 8-output map |
| 5 (B) | Address input | Binary select line B (A1); combined with A and C for full 3-bit decode |
| 6 (A) | LSB address input | Binary select line A (A0); lowest bit drives Y0–Y7 output selection |
| 7 (Y0) | Active-low decoded output | Low when A=B=C=0 and all enables active; drives memory chip-select or peripheral enable |
| 8 (Y1) | Active-low decoded output | Low when A=1, B=C=0 and enables active; used for discrete device addressing |
| 9 (Y2) | Active-low decoded output | Low when B=1, A=C=0; supports modular I/O expansion in ruggedized controllers |
| 10 (Y3) | Active-low decoded output | Low when A=B=1, C=0; enables selective activation of redundant subsystems |
| 11 (Y4) | Active-low decoded output | Low when C=1, A=B=0; used in fault-tolerant bus arbitration logic |
| 12 (Y5) | Active-low decoded output | Low when A=1, C=1, B=0; supports dual-bank memory selection in flight computers |
| 13 (Y6) | Active-low decoded output | Low when B=1, C=1, A=0; routes control signals in radiation-hardened telemetry interfaces |
| 14 (Y7) | Active-low decoded output | Low when A=B=C=1; final output for highest-priority subsystem enable or watchdog trigger |
| 15 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary signal return; requires low-inductance connection to chassis ground in EMI-sensitive designs |
| 16 (VCC) | Power supply | +5 V supply input; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54AHCT138FK | LCCC-20 package; 20-pin ceramic leadless chip carrier with different pinout and thermal profile (θJA ≈ 100°C/W vs CDIP's 67°C/W) | Used where board space is constrained but thermal management via conduction is preferred; requires redesign of footprint and layout | Select when mounting on metal-core PCBs or cold plates; verify mechanical stress relief for vibration-prone mounts |
| 5962-9851701QFA | CFP-16 package; flatpack with gull-wing leads, same pin count but different lead pitch (0.050″ vs CDIP's 0.100″) and lower mass | Favored in missile fin actuator assemblies where weight reduction and aerodynamic profile are critical | Choose for SWaP-C–optimized guidance electronics; confirm reflow profile compatibility with CFP's thinner leadframe |
Compared with SNJ54AHCT138FK and 5962-9851701QFA, the 5962-9851701QEA offers superior mechanical rigidity and proven field reliability in high-vibration airframes, while maintaining identical logic function and timing - making it the default choice for retrofitting legacy CDIP-based defense platforms.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the 5962-9851701QEA?
The 5962-9851701QEA is rated for −55°C to +125°C operation, fully qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 Class V for deployment in extreme environmental conditions such as jet engine bays, satellite payloads, and artillery fire control systems. This range is validated through temperature cycling, steady-state burn-in, and parametric testing at both extremes - ensuring consistent 5962-9851701QEA performance across the full military specification envelope.
Does the 5962-9851701QEA support TTL-level inputs?
Yes, the 5962-9851701QEA features TTL-voltage compatible inputs with guaranteed VIH ≥2.0 V and VIL ≤0.8 V at VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V, enabling direct interfacing with legacy 5 V TTL logic families without level shifters. This compatibility is verified across the full −55°C to +125°C range and is a key requirement for backward integration into existing military hardware - preserving timing margins and reducing design risk for the 5962-9851701QEA.
How many enable inputs does the 5962-9851701QEA have, and what are their logic polarities?
The 5962-9851701QEA has three enable inputs: G1 (active-high), G2A (active-low), and G2B (active-low). All three must be simultaneously asserted - G1 high and both G2A/G2B low - for any Y0–Y7 output to respond to address inputs A, B, C. This configuration enables efficient cascading of multiple 5962-9851701QEA devices for larger decoding trees without external inversion logic.
What is the typical propagation delay of the 5962-9851701QEA at 5 V supply?
The 5962-9851701QEA exhibits a typical propagation delay of 7.6 ns from address inputs (A/B/C) to any Y output under test conditions of VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF, and TA = 25°C. This value is confirmed in the official TI SCLS266M datasheet and applies identically to the 5962-9851701QEA variant, supporting high-speed memory decoding in systems with sub-100 MHz clock domains.
Is the 5962-9851701QEA RoHS-compliant?
The 5962-9851701QEA is not RoHS-compliant; it is a legacy military-spec device manufactured with leaded solder and packaging materials meeting MIL-STD-883 requirements rather than EU RoHS directives. Its CDIP-J package uses SnPb finish and ceramic construction - essential for hermeticity and thermal reliability in defense applications where lead-free alternatives are not yet qualified. Customers requiring RoHS compliance should evaluate commercial SN74AHCT138 variants instead of the 5962-9851701QEA.
