5962-9453201MXA

Overview

The Altera 5962-9453201MXA is a military-grade microprocessor IC based on the Intel 80860 architecture. It features a single core with a 64-bit data path and operates at a clock speed of 25MHz. The device is housed in a 168-contact Ceramic Pin Grid Array (CPGA) package, measuring 44.45mm by 44.45mm. This component is designed for high-reliability embedded applications requiring robust processing capabilities within strict environmental constraints.

Feature Summary

• Implements the 80860 RISC processor architecture for efficient instruction execution
• Features a 64-bit internal data bus to support high-throughput data processing
• Designed for operation in extended temperature ranges suitable for military environments

Applications

• Military avionics systems
• Radar signal processing units
• Secure communications equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix MXA corresponds to the specific military grade and temperature range requirements. Confirm the 168-CPGA package dimensions match the PCB footprint design. Ensure compatibility with existing system clocks and power supply rails before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a proven 80860-compatible processor is required for ruggedized systems. Consider the 25MHz performance limit and CPGA form factor against board space and thermal dissipation needs. Evaluate if the 64-bit architecture aligns with the target application's computational density.

Part Context

This part belongs to the broader family of Intel/Altera 80860 microprocessors. These devices were widely used in defense and aerospace sectors prior to the transition to newer FPGA-based architectures. The 5962 prefix indicates a military-standard procurement classification.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are limited due to the legacy nature of the 80860 architecture. Verify functional equivalence with other 80860 variants from Intel or authorized distributors. System re-validation is required for any architectural substitution.
