5962-0051202QPA

Overview

The Texas Instruments 5962-0051202QPA is a military-grade, dual operational amplifier featuring rail-to-rail input and output capabilities. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 36 V and supports an extended temperature range from -55°C to +125°C. The device utilizes an 8-pin CDIP package with J-leads for through-hole mounting. Key electrical characteristics include a low quiescent current and high slew rate, ensuring efficient performance in demanding analog signal processing applications.

Feature Summary

• Rail-to-rail input and output operation maximizes dynamic range in low-voltage systems.
• Military-grade qualification ensures reliability across extreme environmental conditions.
• Through-hole CDIP packaging provides robust mechanical stability for harsh environments.

Applications

• Military avionics signal conditioning
• Ruggedized industrial sensor interfaces
• High-reliability medical instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix QPA confirms the 8-lead ceramic DIP package and military temperature rating. Confirm RoHS status as non-compliant due to lead content requirements for military specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing through-hole assembly processes and verify that the supplier provides traceability documentation required for defense or aerospace contracts.

Selection Notes

Select this component when rail-to-rail performance is critical in single-supply or dual-supply configurations requiring military reliability. Compare against standard commercial op-amps if extended temperature ranges are unnecessary. Consider the larger footprint of the CDIP package compared to surface-mount alternatives when designing for space-constrained boards.

Part Context

This part belongs to the SN54 series of operational amplifiers, specifically designed for military applications. It shares functional similarities with commercial counterparts but differs in rigorous testing standards, material composition, and thermal endurance. The 5962 prefix indicates it is a direct buy part manufactured under strict military quality control protocols.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the SN54 family military specifications. Verify pinout compatibility with the 8-CDIP form factor. Commercial equivalents like the LM358 lack the required temperature range and radiation hardness, making them unsuitable substitutes for this specific application context.
