5962-9096901MCA

Overview

The Texas Instruments 5962-9096901MCA is a military-grade, low-power LinCMOS quad voltage comparator. It features four independent comparators with totem pole outputs in a 14-pin Ceramic Dual In-Line Package (CDIP). The device operates within a supply voltage range of 3V to 36V and functions across an extended temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. Key electrical characteristics include a typical input bias current of 30 pA and high common-mode rejection ratios, ensuring precise signal comparison in demanding environments.

Feature Summary

• Quad configuration providing four independent voltage comparators in a single package
• Low-power LinCMOS technology designed for reduced energy consumption
• Totem pole output structure enabling direct interfacing with digital logic circuits
• Patented electrostatic discharge protection circuitry for enhanced reliability

Applications

• Military aerospace electronic systems requiring ruggedized analog components
• High-precision voltage monitoring and threshold detection circuits
• Industrial control systems operating in extreme temperature environments
• Battery management systems utilizing low quiescent current requirements

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix MCA corresponds to the ceramic dual in-line package variant when sourcing. Confirm that the procurement channel supports military-grade parts with appropriate quality certifications. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts for the 14-pin CDIP footprint. Check for any updated revision notices regarding the LinCMOS process technology used in this component.

Selection Notes

Select this component when multiple independent comparisons are required within a space-constrained military application. The low input bias current makes it suitable for high-impedance sensor interfaces. Consider the totem pole output capability if level shifting or direct logic driving is necessary without additional pull-up resistors. Evaluate the thermal performance against the system's maximum ambient temperature constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the SN54 series of military-standard logic and linear integrated circuits manufactured by Texas Instruments. The 5962 prefix indicates a direct buy or military lot traceability designation. It is functionally related to commercial variants like the TLC3704 but meets stricter MIL-STD specifications for temperature and reliability.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible substitutes may include other military-qualified quad comparators from the same manufacturer family. Verify equivalent supply voltage ranges and output drive capabilities before substitution. Cross-reference datasheets to ensure matching input offset voltage and propagation delay specifications for critical timing applications.
