T2080NSN8T1B

Microprocessors Overview

The T2080NSN8T1B is a QorIQ T-series microprocessor based on the Power Architecture e6500 core. It features eight virtual cores operating at up to 1.2 GHz, packaged in an FCPBGA-896 format. The device supports DDR3/DDR3L SDRAM with speeds up to 1.6 GT/s and includes four 10 Gigabit Ethernet MACs. Operating within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 105°C, this revision 1.1 component has cryptographic acceleration disabled.

Microprocessors Feature Summary

• Eight-thread e6500 processor architecture for high-performance computing
• Integrated CoreNet platform for coherent interconnect management
• Support for DDR3 and DDR3L memory interfaces with ECC
• Multiple high-speed serial interface options including PCIe and USB

Microprocessors Applications

• Control plane processing in telecommunications infrastructure
• Integrated control and data plane applications
• Network equipment requiring multiple 10GbE connections

Microprocessors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SN' indicates the absence of hardware crypto acceleration compared to variants with enabled security features. Confirm the 'T1B' designation corresponds to the correct silicon revision and packaging type. Ensure compatibility with existing board designs regarding the FCPBGA-896 footprint and voltage requirements before procurement.

Microprocessors Selection Notes

Select this variant when high core count is required but cryptographic offloading is handled by external components or software. Compare against the T2081 for pin-compatibility needs or the T2080 with enabled crypto if security acceleration is mandatory. Evaluate power consumption profiles against the 1.2 GHz clock speed requirements for the target thermal environment.

Microprocessors Part Context

This component belongs to the NXP QorIQ T2080 family, designed as a mid-range communication processor. It utilizes 28 nm technology and shares architectural elements with the flagship T4240 series. The T2080 serves as an upgrade path for legacy P-series processors, offering increased throughput while maintaining similar power envelopes.

Microprocessors Replacement Considerations

The T2081NXN8T1B offers a smaller package size with seven Ethernet MACs instead of eight. For systems requiring hardware encryption, variants with enabled crypto features must be selected. Direct pin-compatible upgrades from older T1042 devices are possible using the T2081 form factor.
