5962-9076601MEA

The Texas Instruments 5962-9076601MEA is a quad differential line receiver for EIA-485 and EIA-422 serial data transmission, manufactured to the standardized military drawing SMD 5962-90766 and processed with full MIL-STD-883 screening. This device integrates four independent receivers in a single ceramic flat pack (CFP) package, each incorporating a failsafe feature that drives the output to a logic-high state when inputs are open, shorted, or idle, improving bus integrity in noisy environments. Designed to meet TIA/EIA-485-A and TIA/EIA-422-B electrical standards, it typically operates from a single 5 V supply and provides a wide common-mode voltage range that exceeds standard requirements, allowing reliable data reception even with substantial ground potential differences. The high receiver input impedance enables multiple unit-load connections on a shared differential bus, and the hermetic CFP construction supports operation across the military temperature range.

This component is commonly used in ruggedized data communication interfaces across defense, aerospace, and high-reliability industrial systems. Typical applications include mission computers, avionics data buses, ground support equipment, secure communication terminals, and distributed control networks where environmental extremes and long service life are critical. The /883 suffix attached to its commercial equivalent (DS96F175MJ/883) confirms compliance with rigorous screening test sequences per MIL-STD-883, including temperature cycling, burn-in, and fine/gross leak checks, while the SMD designation provides a controlled, traceable procurement path approved by the Defense Logistics Agency. As a qualified military-grade part, the 5962-9076601MEA may carry export control considerations, and sourcing should account for potential extended lead times driven by the specialized testing and documentation requirements. Engineers incorporating this receiver benefit from long-term program support and a standardized performance baseline, but must verify form, fit, and function against the latest revision of the applicable SMD.
