5962-8967101LA

Overview

The 5962-8967101LA is a dual-channel, 12-bit CMOS Digital-to-Analog Converter manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It features buffered outputs and is housed in a 24-pin Ceramic Dual In-Line Package (CDIP). The component operates within a military temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. It utilizes a parallel interface for data input and supports an external reference configuration. The device is part of the ADI Precision series and is designed for high-performance applications requiring precise analog signal generation from digital inputs.

Feature Summary

• Dual-channel 12-bit resolution with buffered output drivers
• CMOS technology ensuring low power consumption
• Military-grade reliability across extended temperature ranges
• External reference capability for flexible voltage scaling

Applications

• High-precision industrial control systems
• Test and measurement equipment requiring accurate signal generation
• Aerospace and defense avionics subsystems
• Medical instrumentation devices

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix 'LA' corresponds to the leaded ceramic package variant required for your design. Confirm that the military temperature rating aligns with environmental specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing parallel interface logic levels. Check for any recent Product Change Notifications regarding material composition or pinout modifications before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual independent DAC channels are necessary within a single package footprint. Consider the CDIP package constraints for PCB layout and thermal management. Evaluate the need for internal versus external reference voltages based on system noise requirements. Compare performance metrics against commercial grade alternatives if military certification is not mandatory for the application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the broader 5962 family of radiation-hardened and military-specification integrated circuits offered by Analog Devices. These components are typically derived from commercial designs but undergo rigorous screening and testing to meet MIL-PRF standards. The 5962-8967101LA specifically addresses the demand for reliable, high-resolution conversion in harsh environments where standard commercial parts may fail.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 12-bit dual-channel specification and CDIP-24 package. Verify functional equivalence with other Analog Devices military-grade DACs such as those in the AD75xx series if available in compatible packages. Cross-reference pinouts carefully as minor variations exist between different manufacturers' military equivalents.
