Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision level (Rev 2.0) against design requirements before procurement. Confirm that the FCPBGA-1932 package footprint matches the PCB layout exactly. Ensure power supply designs accommodate the specified 975 mV to 1.025 V core voltage range. Validate thermal management solutions for the 0°C to +105°C operating environment. Cross-reference datasheet errata for any known silicon revisions affecting functionality.

Selection Notes

Select this component when sixteen processing threads are required for deterministic real-time tasks. Choose this model over lower-core variants if dual 10GE interfaces are mandatory. Consider the e6500 architecture compatibility with existing software ecosystems. Evaluate the 1.67 GHz frequency against performance needs versus power consumption constraints. Verify support for DDR3L memory types in the target system design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the NXP T4160 series of QorIQ processors designed for high-throughput networking. It shares the same FCPBGA-1932 package as other members in the family but differs in core count and clock speed. The series targets demanding packet processing workloads requiring robust security features. It complements lower-end models by providing increased thread capacity for complex protocol handling.

Replacement Considerations

T4160NSE7PQB offers similar specifications with a 1.5 GHz clock speed and low-power characteristics.
