T4160NXN7PQB

Overview

The T4160NXN7PQB is a QorIQ Power Architecture microprocessor featuring sixteen e6500 cores operating at 1.5 GHz. It utilizes a 64-bit data bus and integrates 2 MB of L2 cache with 32 kB L1 instruction and data caches per core. The device supports DDR3L SDRAM memory interfaces and includes integrated cryptographic acceleration capabilities. It operates within an industrial temperature range of 0°C to +105°C and employs a 1932-ball FCPBGA package.

Feature Summary

• Sixteen-core architecture based on the e6500 processor core
• Integrated hardware cryptographic engine for security processing
• Support for low-power DDR3L memory configurations
• Industrial-grade thermal performance up to 105°C

Applications

• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Enterprise networking switches and routers
• Industrial automation control systems
• Edge computing gateway devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'NXN' against official NXP documentation to confirm the absence of internal switch fabric features, as this variant differs from crypto-enabled models. Ensure compatibility with the required DDR3L memory controller settings and validate that the 0-105°C operating range meets the target application's environmental specifications before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-core-count Power Architecture solution is required without integrated switching capabilities. Compare against the T4161NSE7PQB if cryptographic features are needed instead. Evaluate the 1932-ball BGA footprint requirements and ensure the design supports the necessary I/O voltage levels for Ethernet and PCIe interfaces specified in the datasheet.

Part Context

This part belongs to the NXP T4160 series within the QorIQ family, designed for high-performance embedded applications. It shares the same core architecture and package type as other T4160 variants but is distinguished by its specific feature set, including the lack of integrated switching and the inclusion of cryptographic engines. It serves as a central processing unit for complex data handling tasks.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other T4160 series variants such as T4161NSE7PQB, provided the functional differences regarding integrated switching and specific feature sets are accounted for in the system design.
