N80960SA16

The N80960SA16 is an Intel i960 microprocessor packaged in an 84-pin PLCC for surface-mount assembly. It features a single 32-bit i960 core operating at 16 MHz and is offered as a commercial-grade embedded microprocessor.

Designed for embedded applications, the device provides a straightforward 32-bit processing option with DRAM controller support, 5 V I/O signaling, and a standard commercial operating temperature range.

Key Features

• Core  Single i960 core, 32-bit architecture providing a standardized processor core for embedded implementations.
• Performance  16 MHz operating frequency for predictable, low-frequency 32-bit processing.
• Memory Interface  Integrated DRAM controller support to interface with external DRAM devices.
• Power and I/O  5 V I/O voltage level for compatibility with 5 V embedded logic domains.
• Package and Mounting  84-LCC (J-Lead) / 84-PLCC supplier device package with a 29.31×29.31 mm footprint; surface-mount mounting type suitable for PCB assembly.
• Operational Grade  Commercial grade device with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Graphics  No graphics acceleration—focused on general-purpose embedded processing tasks.
• Environmental Compliance  RoHS compliant, meeting common lead-free manufacturing requirements.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Systems  Use as the primary 32-bit processing element in embedded designs that require a commercial-grade i960 core.
• Commercial Electronics  Suitable for commercial electronic products that operate within 0 °C to 85 °C and use 5 V I/O signaling.
• Board-Level Integrations  Fits surface-mount board assemblies where an 84-PLCC (29.31×29.31 mm) package form factor is required.

Unique Advantages

• Proven i960 Core: Provides a single 32-bit i960 processor core for consistent architecture and software targeting.
