5962-9956904QYC

Overview

The Microsemi Corporation part number 5962-9956904QYC is a high-reliability Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) belonging to the Actel A54SX16 family. It features a 208-BFCQFP surface-mount package and supports operating junction temperatures ranging from -55°C to 125°C. The device operates on supply voltages of 3V to 3.6V and 4.75V to 5.25V. It includes 175 I/O lines and is classified as a commercial-grade component within the broader aerospace and defense product portfolio.

Feature Summary

• High-reliability solid-state architecture designed for demanding environments
• Configurable logic fabric supporting complex digital system integration
• Wide industrial temperature range capability for harsh conditions

Applications

• Aerospace avionics systems
• Defense electronic warfare platforms
• Satellite communication subsystems

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix QYC matches the required military or commercial grade specifications for your project. Confirm the package type is 208-BFCQFP and ensure voltage requirements align with the dual supply range. Check for RoHS non-compliance status if environmental regulations apply. Validate authenticity through authorized channels due to high-reliability classification.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a ruggedized FPGA with proven reliability in aerospace sectors is required. Compare against standard commercial FPGAs if cost is a primary driver, as high-reliability variants carry premium costs. Ensure the 175 I/O count meets interface needs. Consider thermal management solutions suitable for the -55°C to 125°C operating range during design.

Part Context

This part is derived from the Actel A54SX16 series, acquired by Microsemi and subsequently integrated into Microchip Technology. It represents a legacy high-reliability line often used in long-lifecycle defense programs. The 5962 prefix indicates a military-standard procurement channel distinct from commercial numbering.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed direct substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Due to the specialized high-reliability nature and potential discontinuation of specific suffixes, functional equivalents must be evaluated based on pinout, logic capacity, and thermal specs rather than direct cross-reference lists.
