5962-8606101EA

Overview

The Texas Instruments 5962-8606101EA is a military-grade quadruple 2-line to 1-line data selector/multiplexer belonging to the SN54HC157 family. It features four independent multiplexers in a single package, providing flexible data routing capabilities for high-reliability applications. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports a wide operating temperature range from -55°C to +125°C. Packaged in a 16-lead ceramic dual in-line package (CDIP), it ensures robust performance in harsh environments requiring radiation hardness and extended thermal stability.

Feature Summary

• Quadruple 2-to-1 multiplexer architecture for efficient data selection
• Military-grade reliability with extended temperature operation
• Ceramic dual in-line packaging for enhanced durability

Applications

• Military avionics data routing systems
• Spacecraft communication interfaces
• High-reliability industrial control logic

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix and revision level against the official Texas Instruments datasheet to ensure compatibility with your design requirements. Confirm radiation hardness assurance status if applicable to your mission profile. Check for any recent lifecycle notices or obsolescence warnings directly from the manufacturer before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems that require multiple independent 2-to-1 data paths in a single package. Ensure the system power supply remains within the specified 4.5 V to 5.5 V range. Consider the CDIP package constraints for PCB layout and verify that the operating environment stays within the -55°C to +125°C temperature limits defined for this military-grade part.

Part Context

This part is a militarized version of the standard SN54HC157 quad multiplexer. It shares functional similarities with commercial HC series logic but offers superior environmental tolerance and reliability standards required for defense and aerospace applications. The 5962 prefix indicates it is a direct buy part manufactured under government specifications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other SN54HC157 variants with military qualification. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics match exactly. Commercial equivalents like SN74HC157 are not suitable due to limited temperature range and lack of radiation hardness.
