T4081NSN7PQB

Overview

The T4081NSN7PQB is a QorIQ Power Architecture microprocessor featuring eight e6500 cores operating at 1.667 GHz. It utilizes a 64-bit data bus and integrates 2 MB of L2 cache alongside 32 kB instruction and data L1 caches. The device supports DDR3 and DDR3L SDRAM memory types with a core voltage range of 975 mV to 1.025 V. Interfaces include Ethernet, I2C, PCI-e, Serial, and USB. It operates within a temperature range of 0°C to +105°C and is housed in a 1932-ball FCPBGA package.

Feature Summary

• Eight-core e6500 architecture for high-performance parallel processing
• Integrated security features including cryptographic capabilities
• Support for multiple high-speed interfaces such as PCIe and Ethernet
• Low-power design optimized for thermal efficiency

Applications

• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Industrial automation control systems
• Network routing and switching devices
• Enterprise server platforms

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PQB' against official NXP documentation to confirm the exact revision level and feature set, particularly regarding enabled or disabled cryptographic functions. Ensure compatibility with the required DDR3L memory specifications and validate that the 0-105°C industrial temperature rating meets the target application's environmental constraints before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an eight-core Power Architecture solution with integrated security is required. Compare against the T4081NSE7PQB variant if hardware encryption support is mandatory, as this model specifies crypto-disabled status in some contexts. Confirm the 1932-ball FCPBGA footprint compatibility with the PCB layout and ensure the power supply design accommodates the specified 975 mV to 1.025 V core voltage range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the NXP T4080 series of QorIQ processors, designed for demanding networking and infrastructure applications. The T4081 variant specifically offers eight cores, distinguishing it from lower-core-count siblings. It represents a generation of processors focused on balancing high throughput with energy efficiency for enterprise and carrier-grade environments.

Replacement Considerations

Consult NXP official cross-reference guides for verified substitutes. Consider the T4081NSE7PQB if cryptographic hardware acceleration is required instead of software-based implementation.
