T1024NSN7KQPA

Overview

The T1024NSN7KQPA is a dual-core microprocessor from NXP Semiconductors, part of the QorIQ Power Architecture series. It features two e5500 cores operating at a maximum clock frequency of 1 GHz with a 64-bit data bus width. The device utilizes an FCPBGA-780 package (23x23 mm) and supports DDR3L/DDR4 SDRAM storage types. Key specifications include 32 kB L1 instruction and data caches per core, 256 kB L2 cache, and 160 kB data RAM. It operates within a temperature range of 0°C to +105°C at a working voltage of 1 V.

Feature Summary

• Integrates Data Path Acceleration Architecture (DPAA) for high-performance packet parsing, classification, and distribution in networking applications.
• Includes integrated security acceleration (SEC) and MACsec accelerators on Ethernet interfaces to ensure data integrity and secure communications.
• Features CoreNet platform cache and hierarchical interconnect structure supporting coherent and non-coherent transactions with priority-based bandwidth allocation.

Applications

• Network infrastructure equipment requiring high-throughput data processing
• Telecommunications systems utilizing 1/10GbE connectivity
• Industrial networking applications demanding extended temperature operation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix KQPA against official NXP documentation to confirm pinout, thermal characteristics, and packaging details. Ensure compliance with export regulations as indicated by distributor restrictions. Confirm that the 23x23 mm FCPBGA-780 footprint matches your PCB design requirements before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-core 64-bit solution with integrated hardware acceleration for network protocols is required. It offers software compatibility with the broader QorIQ T-series family, facilitating migration from single-core or other multi-core variants. Consider the 1 GHz performance ceiling and DDR3L/4 support for memory-intensive tasks.

Part Context

This processor belongs to the QorIQ T1024 family, designed for cost-effective yet powerful networking and industrial solutions. It provides a scalable architecture compatible with higher-core-count processors like the T1042 and T2081, allowing for flexible system design and power management across different product tiers within the same ecosystem.

Replacement Considerations

The T1023NSN7KNA is a related dual-core variant but uses a smaller 19x19 mm FC-PBGA-525 package and may have different I/O configurations. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and electrical specifications carefully, as package differences prevent direct substitution without board redesign.
