Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision level and suffix against official NXP documentation to ensure compatibility with existing board designs. Confirm that the required thermal management solution accommodates the power dissipation characteristics of the sixteen-core configuration. Ensure that the PCB layout supports the 1932-pin FCPBGA package dimensions and pitch specifications accurately.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-throughput packet processing and deterministic latency are required. The integrated cryptographic engine reduces the need for external security coprocessors. Consider the 1.5 GHz clock speed and sixteen-core architecture for applications demanding significant computational density within a single chip footprint.

Part Context

This part belongs to the NXP T4160 series of communication processors designed for demanding network environments. It shares the same physical package and interface set as other members of the family but differs in core count and clock frequency. The T4161 variant specifically targets applications requiring higher processing capacity than lower-tier models while maintaining pin compatibility.

Replacement Considerations

Consult NXP official documentation for qualified substitute part numbers within the T4160 series. Verify functional equivalence regarding core count, clock speed, and peripheral availability before substitution.
