5962-9956903QXC

Overview

The Microsemi 5962-9956903QXC is a high-performance Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) belonging to the A54SX16 class. It features approximately 24,000 system gates and is housed in a 256-BFCQFP package with an exposed pad. The device supports dual voltage supplies, operating within ranges of 3V to 3.6V and 4.75V to 5.25V. It is designed for robust industrial environments, maintaining functionality across an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C (TJ). This component serves as a military-grade alternative to standard commercial FPGA variants.

Feature Summary

• Dual voltage supply capability supporting both low-voltage and standard logic levels
• Industrial-grade thermal performance suitable for extreme temperature environments
• High-density logic architecture within a compact quad flatpack package

Applications

• Military avionics systems requiring radiation tolerance and wide temperature operation
• Defense communication equipment demanding high reliability
• Aerospace signal processing applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Microsemi discontinuance lists, as availability may be limited. Confirm that the 256-BFCQFP package matches your board design constraints. Ensure compliance with RoHS non-compliant status if required by your manufacturing standards. Cross-reference with equivalent part numbers like 5962-9956903QYC only if officially documented as interchangeable.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a ruggedized FPGA solution is required for harsh environmental conditions. The dual voltage support allows flexibility in power domain interfacing. Consider the 256-pin footprint for space-constrained designs. Verify that the gate count meets your logic density requirements without excessive resource utilization.

Part Context

This part is classified under the A54SX16 family, representing a specific military-grade variant of Microsemi's SX series FPGAs. It shares architectural similarities with commercial counterparts but undergoes stricter testing for temperature and reliability. The 5962 prefix indicates it is a direct-draw military specification component.

Replacement Considerations

Official cross-references include 5962-9956903QYC. Verify functional equivalence before substitution. Note that some sources list this part as not available or discontinued; check current manufacturer status.
