T4161NSN7PQB

Overview

The T4161NSN7PQB 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. The device supports DDR3L SDRAM, offers four 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, and includes hardware crypto acceleration. Operating within a 0°C to +105°C range, it employs an FCPBGA-1932 package and requires a core voltage between 975 mV and 1.025 V.

Feature Summary

• Sixteen-thread processing capability based on the e6500 architecture
• Integrated hardware cryptographic engine for security operations
• Four dedicated 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
• Support for low-power DDR3L memory configurations

Applications

• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Industrial networking gateways
• High-performance embedded control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official NXP documentation to confirm the exact revision level and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with required I/O voltages (1.35 V, 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V) and power supply sequencing. Confirm that the FCPBGA-1932 package footprint matches the target PCB design constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-throughput packet processing and deterministic latency are required. The integrated crypto engine reduces CPU overhead for secure communications. Evaluate thermal management requirements due to the 1.5 GHz clock speed and multi-core density in the specified industrial temperature range.
