Hermetic 8-CERDIP op amp for military temperature environments
The 5962-9053501PA: It delivers an 80 MHz gain-bandwidth product and a 170 V/µs slew rate, drawing 6.2 mA supply current from rails spanning 10 V to 36 V. This combination of speed, wide supply range, and ceramic hermetic sealing makes it a fit for avionics, satellite, missile guidance, and downhole instrumentation where board-level reliability and sealed-environment operation are non-negotiable.
The 170 V/µs slew rate and 80 MHz gain-bandwidth product together define this part as a wideband amplifier. For a procurement decision, this means the 5962-9053501PA can handle fast pulse edges and high-frequency analog signals — think radar IF stages, video distribution, or high-speed data acquisition front-ends — without slew-rate limiting distorting the waveform. The 6.2 mA supply current is moderate for this speed class; a designer budgeting power in a multi-channel system will note that the quiescent draw is fixed per channel, not scaled by output load.
Input offset and bias — the DC accuracy picture
Input offset voltage is rated at 400 µV, and input bias current at 200 nA. These are typical numbers for a general-purpose bipolar op amp of this era and speed grade — not precision-instrumentation territory, but adequate for most signal conditioning in military subsystems where the signal levels are in the tens of millivolts or higher. The 80 mA output current per channel gives enough drive to swing into a 50 Ω or 75 Ω load, common in video and RF interface circuits.
Package and mounting: hermetic through-hole for high-reliability builds
The 8-CDIP (0.300", 7.62mm) ceramic dual-in-line package with through-hole mounting is the standard footprint for MIL-spec analog ICs. The 8-CERDIP variant uses a glass-sealed ceramic body that resists moisture and outgassing — critical for sealed avionics boxes and space payloads where conformal coating alone is insufficient. The through-hole leads allow manual inspection and rework, a practical advantage in prototype and low-volume defense production runs.
