T1023NXN7KQA

Overview

The T1023NXN7KQA is a dual-core microprocessor from the NXP QorIQ T1023 series, built on the Power Architecture e5500 core. It operates at a maximum clock frequency of 1.0 GHz with a 64-bit data bus width. The device features 32 KB L1 instruction and data caches per core, along with 160 KB of internal data RAM. It supports DDR3L and DDR4 SDRAM storage types and includes integrated hardware acceleration for security functions. The processor is housed in a 525-ball FCPBGA package measuring 19x19 mm and is rated for an industrial operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates two 64-bit e5500 cores based on Power Architecture technology for high-performance processing.
• Includes dedicated hardware acceleration engines for packet parsing, classification, and security operations.
• Supports mixed 32-bit mode operation to facilitate software compatibility with legacy architectures.

Applications

• Industrial networking systems requiring robust protocol handling
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Network appliances utilizing PCIe and Ethernet interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix configuration against official NXP documentation to ensure correct package dimensions and thermal characteristics. Confirm that the required export licenses are obtained prior to ordering, as this component may be subject to international trade regulations. Ensure the procurement channel provides valid traceability documents for industrial-grade components.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-core Power Architecture solution is required for cost-sensitive network applications. Compare against the T1024 series if higher pin counts or additional interface options are necessary. Verify that the 19x19 mm footprint fits the target PCB layout constraints. Ensure the design supports the specified 1V operating voltage and DDR memory requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the QorIQ T-series family of communications processors designed for industrial and networking markets. It serves as a successor to the 32-bit P10XX series, offering a 64-bit upgrade path while maintaining software compatibility. The T1023 variant focuses on optimized power consumption and interface density for embedded communication tasks.

Replacement Considerations

The T1024NXN7KQA offers similar processing capabilities but utilizes a larger 780-ball 23x23 mm package. Designers must verify pinout compatibility and PCB layout changes before substituting between these variants within the same product family.
