5962-8755601RA

Overview

The SN54ACT373 is an octal D-type transparent latch with three-state outputs, manufactured by Texas Instruments under the military-grade 5962-8755601RA designation. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V and supports through-hole mounting in a 20-CDIP package. The device features a propagation delay of 10 ns at 5 V, with output drive capabilities of -24 mA (high) and 24 mA (low). It functions reliably across an extended temperature range from -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Octal configuration providing eight independent D-type transparent latches
• Three-state outputs for effective bus-driven line transmission
• High-speed operation with 10 ns propagation delay at 5 V
• Robust drive strength supporting 24 mA high and low output currents

Applications

• Bus-oriented memory register implementations
• Temporary storage for offset compensation in analog circuits
• Parallel-to-serial data conversion interfaces
• Digital signal processing input buffering

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's datasheet to confirm exact electrical characteristics and packaging specifications. Ensure compatibility with system voltage levels and thermal requirements before integration. Confirm availability status as military-grade variants may have restricted distribution channels or longer procurement cycles compared to commercial equivalents.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring high-density octal latching with three-state control. The ACT series offers speed comparable to AC logic while maintaining CMOS power efficiency. Consider the 20-CDIP package constraints for PCB layout and ensure the operating environment stays within the specified -55°C to +125°C temperature range for reliable performance.

Part Context

This part belongs to the SN54ACT373 family of octal latches. The 5962 prefix indicates it is a military-grade version produced under federal supply standards. It serves as a fundamental building block for digital logic designs requiring parallel data retention and controlled output enablement in harsh environments.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other SN54ACT373 variants from Texas Instruments or equivalent octal latches from manufacturers like ON Semiconductor or Microchip, provided pinouts and electrical specs match. Verify that substitute parts meet the same MIL-STD requirements if environmental ruggedness is critical.
