5962-9583701QXA

Overview

The Altera 5962-9583701QXA is a military-grade microprocessor featuring the Intel486 core architecture. It operates at a clock speed of 25 MHz and utilizes a 32-bit bus width within a single-core configuration. The component is housed in a CPGA-168 package, measuring 44.4x44.4 mm, designed for through-hole mounting. It supports an operating temperature range from -55°C to +125°C, ensuring reliability in harsh environments. The device functions as a standalone MPU without integrated graphics acceleration capabilities.

Feature Summary

• Military-grade construction with extended temperature tolerance
• Intel486 core processor architecture
• Through-hole CPGA-168 packaging

Applications

• Harsh environment computing systems
• Military avionics control units
• Industrial embedded processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin carefully, as this part number is associated with both Intel and Altera due to historical corporate acquisitions. Confirm the specific datasheet version matches the required pinout and electrical characteristics. Ensure the procurement channel provides traceability documentation suitable for military or aerospace compliance standards. Check for RoHS exemption status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a legacy 32-bit x86 compatible processor is required for radiation-hardened or extreme temperature applications. It serves as a drop-in replacement for other 486DX4 variants in CPGA-168 packages. Consider power consumption and thermal dissipation requirements given the bipolar technology often used in these military parts. Evaluate system compatibility with existing 5V logic levels typical of this era.

Part Context

This part belongs to the family of military-specification microprocessors derived from the Intel486 design. Altera acquired Intel's strategic microprocessor business, leading to shared branding on certain legacy components. These parts are distinct from Altera's primary FPGA product lines, representing a specialized niche in high-reliability computing hardware.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 5962-95837 variants with identical pinouts and speeds. Verify mechanical fit within the CPGA-168 footprint. Cross-reference with SN54/74 series logic if interface buffering is needed.
