Military-grade parallel Flash for harsh-environment firmware storage
The 5962-9323502MXA is a 2 Mbit parallel Flash memory organized as 256K x 8 bits, with a 150 ns access time and a 4.5 V supply rail. This part is designed for non-volatile code or data storage in systems that must survive extreme thermal cycling — avionics flight computers, satellite payload controllers, missile guidance electronics, and downhole instrumentation. The parallel interface provides a deterministic, glueless read path for legacy 8-bit microcontrollers and FPGAs that lack a serial Flash controller.
Package and environment — built for sealed, high-reliability builds
The 32-CDIP hermetic package keeps moisture and contaminants out — critical for conformal-coated or potted assemblies where rework is impractical. Through-hole mounting suits point-to-point wiring in backplane or wire-wrap prototypes, and the ceramic body handles the thermal expansion mismatch of military-grade PCBs. No derating needed across that span for the Flash array.
Sourcing posture and lifecycle
The manufacturer lists this part as Active (current lifecycle stage).
