Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision level (Rev1.1) and suffix codes against official NXP documentation to ensure compatibility with existing board designs. Confirm export compliance requirements, as this product may require additional documentation for international shipping. Cross-reference the part number with the latest datasheet to validate pinout and electrical specifications before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when upgrading from previous generation mid-range processors like the P3041 or P2041. It provides significantly higher core processing power and SerDes bandwidth compared to four-core devices while maintaining similar power consumption levels. Ensure the application requires eight threads and supports the specified DDR3/DDR3L memory interface speeds.

Part Context

This part belongs to the NXP QorIQ T2080 family, designed as a mid-range communication processor. It incorporates architectural innovations from the flagship T4240 series but optimized for lower power and cost. The T2080 serves as a successor to the P-series mid-range offerings, targeting applications needing enhanced throughput without the complexity of top-tier models.
