P2041NSN7PNAC

Microprocessors Overview

The P2041NSN7PNAC is a discontinued communications processor from the NXP QorIQ P2041 series. It features four e500mc PowerPC cores operating at up to 1.5 GHz, each with 128 KB of L2 cache. The device integrates the Data Path Acceleration Architecture (DPAA) for hardware-accelerated packet processing, including security and compression engines. It supports DDR3/DDR3L memory interfaces and includes multiple high-speed serial interfaces via SerDes channels.

Microprocessors Feature Summary

• Heterogeneous architecture combining general-purpose CPU cores with dedicated hardware accelerators for data plane tasks
• Integrated Data Path Acceleration Architecture (DPAA) providing offloaded packet classification, queuing, and buffer management
• Support for advanced security protocols through integrated cryptographic acceleration engines

Microprocessors Applications

• Enterprise gateway systems
• LTE base station channel cards
• Unified Threat Management (UTM) devices

Microprocessors Procurement Notes

This component is officially marked as No Longer Manufactured (NLM). New design inclusions are prohibited by manufacturer guidelines. Engineers must verify end-of-life status before procurement attempts. Sourcing is restricted to secondary markets or existing inventory. Validate part authenticity carefully due to discontinuation risks.

Microprocessors Selection Notes

Select this part only for maintenance or legacy system upgrades where pin compatibility with the P2040 series is required. The P2041 offers higher clock speeds and larger L2 cache compared to the P2040. Consider newer Layerscape processors for new designs due to superior performance and availability.

Microprocessors Part Context

Part of the QorIQ P2040/P2041 family designed for high-throughput network applications. The P2041 variant specifically adds 128KB L2 cache per core and a 10GbE XAUI interface compared to the P2040. Both share a 23x23 mm package and pinout for hardware flexibility.

Microprocessors Replacement Considerations

Official substitutes include T2080 or T2081 processors, which offer upgraded cores and increased bandwidth. For direct pin-compatible upgrades within the same generation, consider P2041 variants with different suffixes if available in stock.
