Overview of 5962-9958502QXC – MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC 202 2560 256-BFCQFP with Tie Bar
The 5962-9958502QXC is a military-grade MX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology designed for demanding embedded designs. It combines a high-count logic fabric with on-chip RAM and a broad I/O complement to implement custom logic, protocol bridging, and application-specific acceleration.
With 2,438 CLBs, 54,000 gates and 2,560 total RAM bits, the device targets systems that require reliable operation across a wide voltage range (3 V to 5.5 V) and extended temperature operation (−55°C to 125°C). The 256-pin BFCQFP package with tie bar supports surface-mount assembly in compact board layouts.
Key Features
- Core Logic: 2,438 CLBs and 54,000 gates provide the programmable logic resources needed for custom hardware functions and protocol implementation.
- Logic Elements: 1,184 logic element cells enabling fine-grained logic mapping and resource partitioning for complex designs.
- On‑Chip Memory: 2,560 total RAM bits to support buffering, state machines and small data storage without external memory.
- I/O Capability: 202 available I/O pins to interface with multiple peripherals, sensors, and external devices.
- Power Range: Operates from 3 V to 5.5 V, allowing flexibility with common embedded power rails.
- Package & Mounting: 256‑BFCQFP with tie bar (supplier package: 256‑CQFP 75×75) in a surface-mount form factor for dense PCB layouts.
- Temperature & Grade: Military grade with an operating temperature range of −55°C to 125°C for use in harsh environments.
- Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliant.
