5962-9076502M2A

The Texas Instruments 5962-9076502M2A is a quad differential line driver designed to meet EIA-485 and EIA-422 standards, implemented in a DS96F172/DS96F174 family device manufactured under the MIL-PRF-38535 Qualified Manufacturers Listing (QML) process. This single-chip solution integrates four independent drivers with tri-state outputs capable of driving balanced transmission lines in high-noise environments. Operating from a nominal 5 V supply, the device delivers controlled slew rates to reduce electromagnetic interference while maintaining sufficient transition speeds for data rates typical of multidrop industrial and military networks. The component is housed in a 20-terminal ceramic leadless chip carrier (CLCC), providing a rugged, hermetic package rated for operation over the full military temperature range of -55 °C to +125 °C.

Typical deployments include mission-critical avionics data buses, battlefield communication systems, and satellite telemetry where deterministic signaling and long service life are mandatory. The drivers serve as the electrical interface in 422/485 multipoint backbones within ruggedized computers, remote sensor arrays, and guidance control units. Procurement engineers note that the 5962-9076502M2A is a Standard Microcircuit Drawing (SMD) item, meaning its configuration is controlled by the Defense Logistics Agency and remains available only through authorized sources with strict traceability. As a mature QML product, long-term availability is subject to die bank management and periodic obsolescence review; sourcing from franchised distributors that can provide full pedigree documentation and certified test reports is essential for maintaining configuration control in high-reliability programs.
