5962-8970001EA

Overview

The Texas Instruments 5962-8970001EA is a dual retriggerable monostable multivibrator belonging to the HCT series. It utilizes high-speed CMOS logic technology and is housed in a 16-pin Ceramic Dual In-Line Package (CDIP). The device operates within an extended industrial temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. Key electrical characteristics include a propagation delay of 27 ns. It features reset functionality for precise timing control applications.

Feature Summary

• Dual-element configuration providing two independent monostable circuits in a single package
• Retriggerable operation allows pulse extension upon receipt of additional input triggers
• Integrated reset function enables immediate termination of the output pulse
• High-speed CMOS construction ensures low power consumption with fast switching speeds

Applications

• Pulse width modulation generation
• Timing delay circuits
• Debounce switches for mechanical contacts
• One-shot pulse generation in digital systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix EA indicates the ceramic package variant when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status as military-grade or commercial variants may differ. Check datasheet revision dates to ensure compatibility with current design specifications. Validate lead times due to potential limited availability of legacy CDIP packages.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual independent timing channels are required in a radiation-hardened or high-reliability environment. The CDIP package offers superior thermal and mechanical stability compared to plastic equivalents. Ensure supply voltage levels match the HCT series requirements for proper logic interface compatibility with other CMOS devices.

Part Context

This part is part of Texas Instruments' broader portfolio of high-speed logic components. It falls under the category of timers, pulsers, and oscillators. The 5962 prefix denotes a military-grade or high-reliability screening level, distinguishing it from standard commercial logic families while maintaining functional compatibility.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other dual retriggerable monostable multivibrators in the 74HCT123 family. Verify pinout compatibility before substitution. Alternative packages such as SOIC or TSSOP may require adapter considerations if board space constraints change.
