T4161NSE7QTB

Overview

The T4161NSE7QTB is a QorIQ Power Architecture microprocessor featuring sixteen e6500 cores operating at 1.5 GHz. It utilizes a 1932-pin FCPBGA package and supports DDR3L SDRAM with up to 1.6 GB capacity. The device integrates four 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, PCIe, USB, I2C, and serial connections. Operating voltage ranges from 975 mV to 1.025 V, with an extended temperature range of 0°C to +105°C. It includes 32 kB L1 instruction and data caches per core, 2 MB L2 cache, and hardware crypto acceleration.

Feature Summary

• Sixteen-thread processing capability using the e6500 core architecture
• Integrated hardware cryptographic acceleration for security functions
• Support for high-speed external memory via DDR3L controller
• Multiple high-bandwidth peripheral interfaces including 10GbE and PCIe

Applications

• High-performance communication infrastructure equipment
• Network routing and switching platforms
• Industrial automation control systems
• Edge computing nodes requiring low power consumption

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'QTB' against official NXP documentation to confirm it denotes the correct revision or packaging variant distinct from other T4161 models. Ensure compatibility with existing board designs regarding the 1932-pin FCPBGA footprint and thermal requirements. Confirm that the 0-105°C industrial temperature rating meets the target application environment specifications before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when deploying applications requiring sixteen concurrent processing threads within a single integrated circuit. The inclusion of built-in cryptographic engines makes it suitable for secure network gateways. Consider the 1.6 GB DDR3L limit and 10GbE port count when sizing memory and network interface controllers for the system architecture.

Part Context

This part belongs to the NXP T4160 series of QorIQ processors based on the Power Architecture. It represents a mid-range solution in the Layerscape portfolio, balancing multi-core throughput with energy efficiency. The T4161 variant specifically targets cost-sensitive yet performance-demanding embedded networking environments compared to higher-end counterparts.

Replacement Considerations

Consult NXP official substitution guides for compatible upgrades. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility if replacing older revisions within the T4160 family.
