5962-8961603VA

Overview

The 5962-8961603VA is a high-speed, precision analog comparator manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. under the 5962 military-grade series. It features a differential input configuration with an open-collector output stage, designed for applications requiring fast response times and low offset voltage. The device operates within a wide supply voltage range, supporting both single and dual power supplies up to ±15V. Key electrical characteristics include a propagation delay of typically 4ns and an input offset voltage of 1mV maximum. It is housed in a hermetic ceramic package suitable for harsh environments.

Feature Summary

• High-speed performance with typical propagation delay of 4ns
• Precision input stage with maximum offset voltage of 1mV
• Open-collector output compatible with various logic families
• Wide supply voltage operation from 5V to 30V

Applications

• High-speed data acquisition systems
• Precision window comparators
• Over-voltage/under-voltage detection circuits
• Military and aerospace instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'VA' against the official Analog Devices datasheet to confirm package type and screening level. As a 5962-series part, availability may be limited through authorized distributors. Ensure compliance with MIL-PRF-38535 requirements if applicable to your design specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high speed and precision are critical simultaneously. Compare the 4ns propagation delay against system timing requirements. Verify that the open-collector output can drive the subsequent load impedance within the specified voltage limits. Consider thermal dissipation if operating near maximum supply voltages.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Analog Devices 5962 family, which provides radiation-hardened and high-reliability components for defense and space applications. It is functionally equivalent to commercial parts but undergoes stricter manufacturing controls and testing per MIL-PRF-38535 standards.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 5962-8961603VA pinout and electrical specs. Check for equivalents like the AD860 or similar high-speed comparators from other manufacturers, ensuring package compatibility (typically CDIP or LCC) and temperature range coverage.
