Product details
Overview
5962-9962001VPA from Texas Instruments is a Class V, QMLV-qualified precision programmable shunt voltage reference with 0.4% initial voltage tolerance, 0.2 Ω typical output impedance, and operation across –55°C to 125°C. It functions as a 2.5-V adjustable reference core in regulated power supplies, crowbar circuits, and precision voltage monitors using two external resistors.
For engineers reviewing the 5962-9962001VPA datasheet, 5962-9962001VPA pinout, 5962-9962001VPA application, or 5962-9962001VPA equivalent, key selection criteria include radiation hardness (100 kRad RHA), cathode current capability (1–100 mA), thermal stability over military temperature range, and compatibility with discrete transistor-based series/shunt regulators.
Technical Context
The 5962-9962001VPA implements a bandgap-derived 2.5-V reference with active output stage enabling sharp turnon (500 ns) and low dynamic impedance. Its internal architecture supports adjustable output from VI(ref) (~2.5 V) up to 36 V via external resistor divider at the REF pin.
It operates as a three-terminal shunt regulator: ANODE serves as ground reference, CATHODE sinks current into the load or pass element, and REF senses the divided output voltage. The device requires ≥1 mA cathode current for regulation and exhibits <0.5 μA off-state leakage at 36 V cathode-to-anode potential.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Initial Voltage Tolerance | ±0.4% at 25°C - ensures ≤10 mV absolute error in 2.5-V reference setting without trimming. |
| Output Impedance | 0.2 Ω typical - enables stable regulation under fast load transients up to 100 mA cathode current. |
| Turnon Time | 500 ns - supports high-speed feedback loops in switching regulators and crowbar protection circuits. |
| Cathode Current Range | 1 mA to 100 mA - accommodates both low-power monitoring and high-current shunt regulation. |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to 125°C - qualified for full military temperature range per MIL-PRF-38535. |
| Radiation Hardness | 100 kRad RHA - certified for space-grade applications requiring total ionizing dose resilience. |
| Reference Input Current | 1.5–2.5 μA typical - minimizes resistor-divider loading error in precision voltage-setting networks. |
Pinout & Package
5962-9962001VPA is housed in an 8-pin ceramic dual-in-line package (CDIP), designated JG per MIL-STD-1835 (GDIP1-T8), with hermetic glass-seal construction and optional ceramic lid sealing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (CATHODE) | Current Sink Output | Sinks regulated current to ANODE; connects to collector of pass transistor or load return in shunt configuration. |
| 2 (NC) | No Internal Connection | Unbonded pad; must remain unconnected on PCB to avoid parasitic coupling or mechanical stress. |
| 3 (NC) | No Internal Connection | Unbonded pad; electrically and thermally isolated from die; no routing or grounding required. |
| 4 (NC) | No Internal Connection | Unbonded pad; not used in any functional mode; leave floating per TI design guidance. |
| 5 (REF) | Reference Input | High-impedance sense node for resistor-divider feedback; sets output voltage as VOUT = VI(ref)(1 + R1/R2). |
| 6 (NC) | No Internal Connection | Unbonded pad; no internal bond wire; avoid solder mask openings or trace proximity. |
| 7 (ANODE) | Ground Reference Terminal | Common return path for REF and CATHODE; establishes 0-V reference for all internal circuitry. |
| 8 (CATHODE) | Current Sink Output | Duplicate cathode terminal (pin 1 and pin 8 are internally tied); used for high-current layout symmetry and thermal relief. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| QMLV Radiation Qualification | 100 kRad RHA tolerance enables use in satellite power systems and avionics without derating. |
| Adjustable Output Range | 2.5 V to 36 V via external resistors - replaces multiple fixed Zener diodes with single BOM item. |
| Low Output Impedance | 0.2 Ω typical - maintains regulation accuracy even with 100 mA load steps and minimal external capacitance. |
| Fast Dynamic Response | 500 ns turnon - supports real-time overvoltage detection and crowbar triggering in <1 µs critical windows. |
| Minimal Reference Current | 1.5–2.5 µA - reduces power loss and resistor thermal drift impact in high-precision divider networks. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar programmable shunt reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL1431M | Same die, CDIP JG package, but non-QMLV; rated to 100 kRad(Si) not RHA; no SMD 5962R prefix. | Lacks radiation assurance for space missions; suitable for ground-based military systems with lower TID requirements. | Select TL1431M only when radiation hardness beyond 30 kRad is not required and cost sensitivity outweighs qualification rigor. |
| LM4040D25QMLV | Fixed 2.5-V shunt reference; no adjustability; 0.5% initial tolerance; 50 ppm/°C tempco vs. 22 ppm/°C for 5962-9962001VPA. | Cannot support >2.5 V outputs; lacks cathode current headroom (max 15 mA vs. 100 mA); no crowbar timing capability. | Choose LM4040D25QMLV only for simple 2.5-V biasing where adjustability, high sink current, and fast response are unnecessary. |
Compared with TL1431M and LM4040D25QMLV, the 5962-9962001VPA uniquely combines radiation-hardened construction, wide output adjustability, high cathode current drive, and sub-microsecond response-making it irreplaceable in space-grade shunt regulation and crowbar circuits.

FAQ
What is the radiation hardness specification for 5962-9962001VPA?
The 5962-9962001VPA is QMLV-qualified to 100 kRad RHA (rad-hardened by design), meeting MIL-PRF-38535 requirements for space applications. This rating is verified per test method 1019.3 and applies to total ionizing dose exposure under proton and gamma irradiation conditions. The 5962-9962001VPA maintains full functionality and parameter compliance after exposure, with no degradation in reference voltage, output impedance, or turnon time.
Can 5962-9962001VPA replace a Zener diode in high-precision applications?
Yes, the 5962-9962001VPA directly replaces Zener diodes in precision applications due to its 0.4% initial tolerance, 0.2 Ω output impedance, and 2.5-V bandgap-stable reference. Unlike Zeners, the 5962-9962001VPA provides adjustable output up to 36 V, faster turnon (500 ns vs. µs-scale Zener recovery), and superior thermal stability. Its REF pin enables accurate resistor-divider programming absent in passive Zeners, making the 5962-9962001VPA ideal for regulated supplies and voltage monitors.
What is the minimum cathode current required for regulation in 5962-9962001VPA?
The 5962-9962001VPA requires a minimum cathode current of 0.45 mA at 25°C to maintain regulation, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. At full temperature range (–55°C to 125°C), this increases to 1 mA to ensure stable operation under worst-case conditions. Below this threshold, the device enters high-impedance off-state with <2 µA leakage. Designers must size the series resistor to guarantee ≥1 mA cathode current at minimum input voltage, as confirmed in Figure 16 and Application Information section of the 5962-9962001VPA datasheet.
How does the pin configuration of 5962-9962001VPA differ from commercial TL1431 variants?
The 5962-9962001VPA uses an 8-pin CDIP JG package with pins 1 and 8 both connected to CATHODE, pins 2/3/4/6 as NC (no internal connection), pin 5 as REF, and pin 7 as ANODE. Commercial TL1431 variants (e.g., TL1431CP) use 8-pin PDIP with identical pin numbering but lack NC pins - all eight pins are functional. The 5962-9962001VPA's NC pins accommodate hermetic sealing and radiation-hardened layout; they must remain unconnected, unlike the commercial part where all pins serve circuit roles.
Is 5962-9962001VPA compatible with standard TL1431 application circuits?
Yes, the 5962-9962001VPA is functionally and electrically compatible with standard TL1431 application circuits-including shunt regulators, crowbars, voltage monitors, and series regulator controllers-as confirmed by TI's Application Information (Figures 16–28). Its electrical parameters (VI(ref), IKA range, zKA, turnon time) match or exceed commercial TL1431 specs. However, PCB layout must respect NC pins (2/3/4/6) and use JG-package footprint; thermal and radiation design rules also apply beyond standard implementations.
