Hermetic sample-and-hold for harsh environments
The 5962-8954104CA is a single-channel sample-and-hold amplifier in a hermetic 14-CERDIP package, designed for through-hole mounting. With a slew rate of 10 V/µs, this part can track moderate-speed analog signals without excessive droop during the hold interval. The 55 nA input bias current sets the practical upper bound on hold capacitor value and acquisition time — a 10 nF hold cap, for example, droops at roughly 5.5 mV/ms from bias alone, so the designer sizes the cap to keep voltage error within the system's LSB budget over the hold period. Supply span is specified at 36 V maximum, which accommodates ±15 V or ±18 V rails common in legacy military and industrial analog front ends.
Package and mounting for high-reliability builds
The through-hole mounting suits socketed or soldered assembly in hybrid modules and MIL-SPEC boards.
