5962-8773403VA

Overview

The Altera 5962-8773403VA is a single-circuit clock generator designed for CPU timing applications. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V and supports a maximum frequency of 25MHz. The device accepts crystal input and provides a single clock output with a 1:2 ratio. It is housed in an 18-CDIP package with through-hole mounting and functions across a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C (TC). This component lacks internal PLL functionality.

Feature Summary

• Single-circuit clock generator architecture
• Crystal input interface with 1:2 output ratio
• Extended industrial temperature range (-55°C to 125°C)
• 18-pin CDIP through-hole package

Applications

• CPU clock generation
• Digital system timing distribution
• Industrial control hardware

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturing source, as the 5962 prefix indicates a military-grade or high-reliability variant often sourced from multiple qualified manufacturers under the same JEDEC specification. Confirm that the 18-CDIP package matches the target PCB footprint and that the 5V supply requirement aligns with the system design constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a simple, robust clock generator with crystal input is required for CPU timing. Ensure the design accommodates the 18-CDIP through-hole form factor. Verify that the 25MHz maximum frequency meets the system's clocking needs and that the 5V supply rail is available without level shifting.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Altera (now Intel) portfolio of application-specific timing devices. The 5962 series designation typically signifies parts manufactured to MIL-PRF-38534 or similar high-reliability standards, ensuring performance in demanding environments compared to standard commercial grade components.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible replacements from other manufacturers offering 18-CDIP clock generators with 5V operation and crystal input. Verify electrical parameter equivalence, specifically the 25MHz limit and operating temperature range, before substitution.
