5962-8865901XA

Overview

The Analog Devices Inc. 5962-8865901XA is a high-performance 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) designed for military and aerospace applications. It features an internal buffer and latch, housed in a 28-pin ceramic dual in-line package (CDIP). The device operates with a single supply voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V and consumes 130mW of power. Key electrical specifications include a settling time of 1 microsecond, a reference input voltage of 10V, and a full-scale output current of 20mA. It supports serial data inputs and includes a logic enable function.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a 12-bit DAC with an internal output buffer and data latch for simplified system interfacing.
• Supports serial data input architecture to reduce pin count and simplify control logic connections.
• Includes a logic enable feature to manage power consumption and output states during idle periods.
• Constructed in a hermetically sealed ceramic package suitable for harsh environmental conditions.

Applications

• Military radar signal processing systems
• Aerospace telemetry and command data links
• High-reliability industrial instrumentation
• Secure communication equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm exact performance grades and testing requirements. Ensure compatibility with existing serial interface protocols and power supply rails before integration. Confirm that the ceramic package type meets the mechanical and thermal constraints of the target enclosure design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 12-bit resolution with fast settling time is required in a ruggedized form factor. Consider the serial interface requirement versus parallel alternatives based on available control lines. Evaluate the 10V reference input constraint against available reference sources in the system architecture.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AD56xx series of high-speed DACs from Analog Devices. The 5962 prefix indicates it is a military-grade version processed under DoD contract specifications. It offers higher reliability and screening compared to commercial equivalents, targeting defense and space applications requiring long-term stability.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 12-bit resolution, CDIP-28 package, and serial interface functionality. Verify that any substitute maintains the same 10V reference input requirement and 20mA full-scale output current capability to ensure circuit compatibility without modification.
