T1024NSE7MQPA

Overview

The T1024NSE7MQPA is a dual-core microprocessor from the NXP QorIQ T1024 series, built on the Power Architecture e5500 core. It operates at a maximum clock frequency of 1.2 GHz with a 64-bit data bus width. The device features 32 kB L1 instruction and data caches per core, alongside a 256 kB shared L2 cache and 160 kB of internal data RAM. It supports DDR3L/DDR4 SDRAM storage and includes interfaces such as Ethernet, PCIe, I2C, Serial, and USB. Operating within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +105°C, it utilizes an FCPBGA-780 package.

Feature Summary

• Dual-core e5500 architecture based on Power Technology for high-performance data processing
• Integrated Data Path Acceleration Architecture (DPAA) for packet parsing and classification
• Hardware security acceleration (SEC) and MACsec support for network interface protection
• Support for deep sleep modes to optimize power consumption in always-on applications

Applications

• Industrial networking systems requiring protocol offloading
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Network edge computing devices
• High-reliability industrial control units

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E7MQPA' against official NXP documentation to confirm the exact speed grade, temperature range, and packaging details. Ensure compliance with export regulations if applicable, as some variants may require additional authorization. Confirm that the required DDR3L/DDR4 memory components are compatible with the controller specifications before finalizing the bill of materials.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance of processing performance and power efficiency is required for industrial or telecom environments. The 1.2 GHz speed grade offers sufficient throughput for moderate network loads compared to higher-frequency variants. Verify that the 0 to 105°C operating range aligns with the target application's thermal constraints and that the FCPBGA-780 footprint fits the PCB design.

Part Context

This processor belongs to the QorIQ T1024 family, which provides scalable solutions for communication applications. It shares pin compatibility with higher-core-count processors like the T1042, allowing for flexible system design upgrades. The platform emphasizes software compatibility with previous generations while offering enhanced 64-bit capabilities and integrated hardware accelerators for network tasks.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the T1024 series, such as T1024NSN7KQPA (1.0 GHz) or T1024NXE7PQA (1.4 GHz), depending on required performance levels. Ensure any replacement maintains the same FCPBGA-780 package and software compatibility requirements.
