5962-9069203QYA

Overview

The Altera 5962-9069203QYA is a military-grade microcontroller based on the 87C196KD architecture. It features an 8-bit CPU with a maximum operating frequency of 20MHz. The device includes 32KB (32K x 8) of EPROM program storage and operates within a voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V. It is housed in a 68-pin CQFP package measuring 24.2x24.2 mm and supports an extended industrial temperature range from -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Military-grade reliability for harsh environments
• Integrated 32KB EPROM memory
• Standard 8096 CPU architecture

Applications

• Aerospace avionics systems
• Defense communication equipment
• Industrial control units requiring high temperature tolerance

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix QYA confirms the required military qualification and temperature rating. Ensure the 68-CQFP pinout matches the target PCB footprint. Confirm the 4.5V to 5.5V supply requirement aligns with the system power design. Check for any specific handling guidelines regarding the legacy EPROM technology.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a ruggedized 8-bit controller is necessary for extreme thermal conditions. It serves as a drop-in replacement for standard 87C196 parts where military certification is mandatory. Consider the 20MHz speed limit and limited memory capacity against application processing demands.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Altera embedded microcontroller family, specifically utilizing the proven 8096 core lineage. It bridges legacy Intel-compatible architectures with modern military packaging standards. The 5962 prefix indicates it is a direct-read part number often used in government and defense procurement channels.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other variants of the 87C196 series with matching military ratings. Verify pin compatibility if considering lower-density or higher-speed derivatives within the same architectural family.
