T2080NXN7PTB

Overview

The T2080NXN7PTB is a QorIQ T-series communications processor manufactured by NXP. It features four dual-threaded PowerPC e6500 cores operating at up to 1.8 GHz, sharing a 2 MB L2 cache. The device integrates an eight-channel SerDes supporting speeds up to 10 GHz and provides multiple Ethernet MACs including 10 Gbps options. It includes a 64-bit DDR3L memory controller with ECC support, integrated security accelerators, and packet forwarding engines. The component is housed in a 780-FCPBGA package and operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 105°C.

Feature Summary

• Eight virtual cores based on the dual-threaded e6500 architecture for high-performance processing
• Integrated CoreNet platform cache and hierarchical interconnect structure for coherent transactions
• High-speed SerDes interfaces supporting multi-gigabit Ethernet connectivity
• Hardware acceleration for security, compression, and packet management functions

Applications

• Control plane processing for communication infrastructure
• Integrated control and data plane applications
• Mid-range communication platforms requiring low power consumption
• Migration paths from previous P-series quad-core devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N7' against official NXP documentation to confirm pinout and feature set alignment. Ensure compatibility with required DDR3L memory configurations and SerDes lane assignments. Confirm that the 780-FCPBGA package dimensions match the target PCB layout constraints. Validate thermal requirements for the specified operating temperature range during system design.

Selection Notes

Select this processor when migrating from P3041 or P2041 series devices to achieve higher core capability and bandwidth within similar power budgets. Consider this model for applications requiring eight virtual cores but needing a smaller footprint than flagship T-series devices. Evaluate the trade-off between the T2080 and T2081 variants regarding Ethernet MAC count and SerDes speed if size constraints are critical.

Part Context

The T2080NXN7PTB belongs to the NXP QorIQ T-Series family, which introduces architectural innovations from the flagship T4240 into a mid-range platform. This series targets communication processors that balance performance with reduced power and cost compared to high-end counterparts. The T2080 serves as a successor to the P2041 and P3041 mid-range series, offering improved cache and connectivity.
