5962-9076502MFA

The Texas Instruments 5962-9076502MFA is a military-qualified quad differential line driver from the DS96F172/174 family, housed in a ceramic dual in-line package (CDIP) and designed to meet EIA-485/EIA-422 serial data transmission standards. This device integrates four independent driver channels, each capable of sourcing balanced differential outputs with controlled slew rates to minimize electromagnetic interference. It operates across the full military temperature range and features short-circuit current limiting and thermal shutdown protection. The ceramic hermetic package ensures resilience against moisture ingress and extreme thermal cycling, while compliance with Standard Microcircuit Drawing (SMD) 5962-9076502MFA guarantees electrical performance, die traceability, and testing to rigorous military specifications.

Typical applications include ruggedized data buses in aerospace flight control systems, ground vehicle vetronics, and industrial process automation nodes where noise immunity over long cable runs is critical. The quad configuration reduces board space in multi-drop sensor networks, motor encoder interfaces, and backplane communication in defense electronics. From a procurement standpoint, the SMD part number signifies a controlled, JAN-certified supply chain, reducing insertion risk for high-reliability programs. Users should verify current life-cycle status with the manufacturer, as mature defense-grade components may face extended lead times or obsolescence sourcing. Authorized distribution channels are essential to maintain custody documentation and MIL-STD-883 compliance, particularly for flight-critical or ITAR-governed system builds.
