5962-8996701MXA

Overview

The 5962-8996701MXA is a UV-erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM) integrated circuit manufactured by Cypress Semiconductor Corp. It provides a storage capacity of 64 kilobits, organized to support various data access configurations within its architecture. The device features a typical access time of 60 nanoseconds, ensuring reliable data retrieval speeds for embedded applications. It is housed in a 28-pin Ceramic Dual In-line Package (CDIP), which offers robust physical protection and thermal stability suitable for demanding environments. The component operates as a non-volatile memory solution, retaining stored information without continuous power supply.

Feature Summary

• UV-erasable non-volatile memory technology for permanent data retention
• High-speed data access with 60 ns typical latency
• Robust ceramic dual in-line package construction

Applications

• Embedded systems requiring persistent code storage
• Industrial control units needing reliable firmware retention
• Military or aerospace avionics utilizing radiation-hardened components

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source, as the part number prefix indicates military or high-reliability standards. Confirm RoHS compliance status, as historical records indicate it may not be compliant. Check for moisture sensitivity level requirements during handling. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documentation for the 5962 prefix designation. Validate that the 28-CDIP package matches the target board footprint specifications exactly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when long-term data retention without power is critical and UV erasure capability is required for reprogramming. The 60 ns speed suits moderate-frequency digital logic interfaces. The CDIP package necessitates through-hole mounting technology on the printed circuit board. Consider the physical size constraints of the 28-pin ceramic housing against available board space. Evaluate if the non-volatile nature aligns with the system's power management strategy.

Part Context

This component belongs to the broader family of EPROM devices designed for high-reliability applications. The 5962 prefix typically denotes parts qualified to military or aerospace standards, distinguishing them from commercial grade equivalents. Cypress Semiconductor, now part of Infineon Technologies, produced these devices for markets requiring stringent durability and data integrity over extended operational lifetimes.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 64Kbit capacity, 60 ns access time, and 28-CDIP package. Verify pin compatibility and electrical characteristics before substitution. Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering military-grade EPROMs in ceramic DIP packages.
