5962-8760401GA

Overview

The National Semiconductor 5962-8760401GA is a standard general-purpose operational amplifier housed in an 8-pin TO-99 metal can package. It contains one circuit per package and is designed for operation across a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The device supports floating mode operation independent of fixed supplies, enabling use as a remote comparator or signal conditioner.

Feature Summary

• Capable of operating in floating mode independent of fixed power supplies
• Functions effectively as a remote comparator or signal conditioner
• Suitable for SCR controller applications

Applications

• Remote comparator circuits
• Signal conditioning systems
• SCR controller designs

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin carefully, as conflicting data sources identify this part as either a memory buffer or a voltage regulator driver. Confirm the specific datasheet version matches the required operational characteristics before procurement to ensure compatibility with the intended application design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a general-purpose amplifier with high-temperature tolerance (-55°C to 125°C) is required. The TO-99-8 metal can package provides robust shielding. Ensure the design accommodates its capability for floating mode operation if used in isolated environments.

Part Context

This part belongs to the National Semiconductor analog and mixed-signal portfolio. It is classified as a standard general-purpose amplifier. The 5962 prefix indicates it is a military-grade or high-reliability variant often sourced through specialized distributors like Rochester Electronics.

Replacement Considerations
