5962-8601601QA

Overview

The Intersil 5962-8601601QA is a CMOS 8/16-bit microprocessor based on the Intel 80C88 architecture. It features a single core operating at a clock frequency of 5MHz. The device is housed in a 40-pin CERDIP package and supports 5V I/O voltage levels. Designed for robust performance, it integrates an 8-bit external data bus with a 16-bit internal data bus, facilitating efficient data processing in embedded systems requiring high reliability and radiation tolerance.

Feature Summary

• CMOS technology implementation for low power consumption
• 80C88 compatible architecture with 16-bit internal processing
• Hermetic ceramic packaging for environmental resilience
• Single-core design optimized for dedicated control tasks

Applications

• Radiation-hardened embedded computing systems
• Military aerospace data processing units
• Industrial control environments requiring high reliability
• Spacecraft onboard computer subsystems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'QA' denotes the required quality assurance level and hermetic seal type. Confirm that the 40-CERDIP package matches the board layout constraints. Ensure compatibility with existing 5V logic interfaces. Check for any specific handling requirements due to the ceramic construction and potential sensitivity to mechanical stress during installation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a radiation-tolerant, hermetically sealed microprocessor is required for critical applications. The 80C88 architecture offers a balance between processing speed and power efficiency. Consider the 5MHz operational limit and 40-pin footprint when designing the system. Verify that the 5V supply requirement aligns with the overall system power budget and interface standards.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Intersil (now Renesas) space-grade microprocessor family. It utilizes CMOS technology to achieve radiation hardness suitable for harsh environments. The 5962 prefix indicates a military-standard microcircuit number, ensuring compliance with strict defense specifications for reliability and performance under extreme conditions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 80C88-compatible microprocessors in hermetic packages. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics before substitution. Non-hermetic alternatives require careful assessment of environmental protection measures. Consult manufacturer documentation for updated equivalents within the Renesas portfolio.
