Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin, as sources list both Altera and Intel. Confirm the specific package type and voltage requirements against your design specifications. Check for RoHS compliance status, as related models may not meet current environmental standards. Ensure availability aligns with project timelines due to potential end-of-life status.

Selection Notes

Select this component for legacy i960-based designs requiring 32-bit processing at 40MHz. Consider the 168-PGA package constraints and 5.0V I/O levels during schematic capture. Evaluate thermal performance within the specified operating temperature range. Compare against newer processors if power efficiency or pin count flexibility is required.
