5962-9958602QYC

The 5962-9958602QYC is a military-grade SX family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Microchip Technology supplied in a 208-pin BFCQFP package with tie bar. It delivers a high I/O count and a substantial logic capacity for embedded designs that require nonvolatile, single-chip programmable logic with rugged environmental capability.

Designed for applications that demand wide voltage tolerance and extended temperature operation, this device provides flexible I/O support and secure configuration features drawn from the SX-A family architecture.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 2,880 logic elements (cells) and approximately 48,000 system gates provide programmable logic resources for complex glue logic and control functions.
• I/O Count & Flexibility — 174 user I/O pins enable broad external interfacing. Series-level I/O support includes configurable options for 3.3 V / 5 V PCI, 5 V TTL, 3.3 V LVTTL and 2.5 V LVCMOS2 signaling, and 5 V input tolerance with 5 V drive strength.
• Nonvolatile Single-Chip Architecture — SX family nonvolatile configuration avoids the need for external configuration memory, simplifying BOM and startup behavior.
• Voltage & Power — Operates from 3 V to 5.5 V, supporting mixed-voltage designs and legacy 5 V systems.
• Thermal & Grade — Military grade with an operating temperature range of −55 °C to +125 °C for deployment in harsh environments.
• Package & Mounting — Surface-mount 208-BFCQFP with tie bar; supplier device package listed as 208-CQFP (75×75).
• SRAM/Memory — Total RAM bits: 0, for deterministic, register-based logic implementation.
• System & Debug Support — Series features include boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1/JTAG) for board-level test and in-system diagnostic capabilities.
• Security & Reliability — Series-level secure programming technology (FuseLock™) protects designs against reverse engineering and unauthorized readback.
• Standards & Performance — SX family datasheet lists up to 250 MHz system performance and support for 66 MHz PCI operation as part of the architecture's performance profile.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Military and Aerospace Systems — Military-grade temperature range and packaging make this FPGA suitable for control and interface logic in ruggedized electronic assemblies.
• Legacy 5 V System Integration — Configurable 5 V-tolerant I/Os and mixed-voltage operation simplify interfacing with older TTL and PCI-based subsystems.
• High-Reliability Embedded Control — Nonvolatile single-chip configuration and JTAG boundary-scan support reliable boot and in-system test for mission-critical embedded controllers.
• Communications and Interface Logic — High I/O count supports protocol translation, bus bridging, and glue logic in communications line cards and backplane interfaces.

Unique Advantages

• Wide Operating Range: Military-grade temperature rating (−55 °C to +125 °C) and 3 V–5.5 V supply allow deployment in extreme environments and mixed-voltage systems.
• High I/O Density: 174 user I/Os enable complex external interconnects without additional multiplexing or expansion logic.
• Deterministic, Nonvolatile Configuration: Single-chip nonvolatile architecture removes the need for external configuration memory and improves system reliability at power-up.
• Security Built-In: Series FuseLock™ secure programming reduces the risk of IP exposure and design cloning.
• Testability and Diagnostics: IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) boundary-scan and series in-system diagnostic features simplify board-level test and field diagnostics.
• RoHS Compliant and Surface-Mount Ready: Meets environmental compliance requirements and ships in a 208-pin surface-mount package for standard assembly processes.
