T4161NSN7QTB

Overview

The T4161NSN7QTB is a QorIQ Power Architecture microprocessor featuring sixteen e6500 cores operating at 1.67 GHz. It utilizes a 64-bit data bus and integrates 2 MB of L2 cache alongside 32 kB instruction and data L1 caches. The device supports DDR3L SDRAM with up to 1.87G bandwidth and includes four 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. Operating within a 0°C to +105°C temperature range, it employs an FCPBGA-1932 package and functions at core voltages between 975 mV and 1.025 V.

Feature Summary

• Sixteen-thread architecture based on the e6500 core for high-throughput processing
• Integrated hardware support for four 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections
• Compatibility with low-power DDR3L memory standards
• Support for multiple I/O voltage levels including 1.35 V, 1.5 V, 1.8 V, and 2.5 V

Applications

• High-performance communication infrastructure equipment
• Network routing and switching platforms
• Industrial automation control systems
• Telecommunications base station processing units

Procurement Notes

Verify export compliance requirements before procurement, as this product may require additional documentation for shipment from the United States. Confirm that the specific revision level matches system design specifications. Ensure thermal management solutions are adequate for the maximum operating temperature of 105°C. Validate power supply stability within the specified 975 mV to 1.025 V range to ensure reliable operation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when sixteen independent processing threads are required for network-intensive applications. Choose this model over variants with enabled cryptography if security features are handled externally or not needed. Consider the FCPBGA-1932 package constraints during PCB layout planning. Verify compatibility with existing DDR3L memory controllers and 10GE PHY interfaces before integration.

Part Context

This part belongs to the NXP T4160 series of QorIQ processors designed for communication and industrial markets. It shares the same physical package and core architecture as other T416x variants but differs in clock speed and feature configuration. The series emphasizes high-speed packet processing and deterministic performance for demanding embedded networking tasks.

Replacement Considerations

The T4161NSN7TTB serves as a direct functional substitute with identical pinout and package but operates at a higher frequency of 1.8 GHz. Designers must verify that thermal dissipation capabilities support the increased power consumption of the faster variant without modifying the board layout.
