5962-9453202MYA

Overview

The Altera 5962-9453202MYA is a 64-bit RISC microprocessor designed for high-reliability applications. It operates at a maximum clock speed of 33 MHz and supports an extended industrial temperature range from -55°C to 125°C. The component utilizes a 196-pin BCQFP package with an exposed pad and tie bar, suitable for surface-mount assembly. This military-grade device integrates embedded processing capabilities within a robust ceramic or plastic quad flatpack configuration, ensuring stability in demanding environments.

Feature Summary

• Implements a 64-bit RISC architecture for efficient instruction execution
• Supports operation across the full military temperature range
• Utilizes a 196-pin BCQFP surface-mount package format

Applications

• Military avionics systems
• Spacecraft onboard computers
• Ruggedized ground-based communication equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package material variant (ceramic vs. plastic) as suffixes may denote environmental sealing differences. Confirm that the 196-BCQFP pinout matches the target PCB footprint exactly. Ensure the supplier provides traceability documentation required for defense contracts. Check for any specific handling instructions related to the exposed pad thermal design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a hardened 64-bit processor is required for extreme temperature environments. Compare against standard commercial variants if radiation tolerance is not a primary constraint. Consider the 33 MHz performance ceiling relative to system timing requirements. Evaluate the 196-pin density against available board space constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the broader family of Altera (now Intel) embedded processors utilizing Nios II or similar soft/hard core architectures adapted for MIL-STD specifications. These devices bridge the gap between general-purpose FPGAs and dedicated microcontrollers, offering programmable logic alongside fixed processing cores.

Replacement Considerations

Direct cross-reference requires matching the 64-bit RISC core and 196-BCQFP form factor. Verify compatibility with existing software toolchains before substitution.
