T4161NXE7PQB

Overview

The T4161NXE7PQB is a QorIQ Power Architecture microprocessor featuring sixteen e6500 cores operating at 1.5 GHz. It utilizes a 64-bit data bus and integrates support for DDR3L SDRAM. The device includes four 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and hardware cryptographic acceleration capabilities. Operating within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +105°C, it employs an FCBGA-1932 package with core voltage requirements between 975 mV and 1.025 V.

Feature Summary

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

Applications

• High-performance networking infrastructure equipment
• Telecommunications base station processing units
• Enterprise routing and switching platforms
• Industrial automation control systems requiring high throughput

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision level against project requirements, as the component documentation indicates Rev 2 status. Confirm that the FCBGA-1932 package footprint matches the PCB design layout precisely. Ensure thermal management solutions accommodate the power dissipation characteristics associated with sixteen active cores at maximum frequency. Validate supply chain authorization directly with NXP Semiconductors or authorized distributors to guarantee authenticity.

Selection Notes

Select this processor when system designs demand significant multi-threaded computational power combined with robust network connectivity. The inclusion of hardware crypto engines reduces CPU overhead for secure communications. Consider the 1.5 GHz clock speed and sixteen-core configuration for applications requiring parallel processing of multiple high-speed data streams. Evaluate the 0-105°C operating range against environmental constraints to determine if extended temperature variants are necessary.

Part Context

This component belongs to the NXP T4160 series of QorIQ communication processors designed for demanding embedded networking tasks. It shares architectural similarities with other members of the T-Series family but offers specific core counts and interface configurations tailored for high-end infrastructure. The T4161 variant specifically targets applications requiring substantial parallel processing alongside extensive I/O bandwidth.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official NXP documentation for qualified substitutes within the T4160 series. Verify pin compatibility and software binary compatibility before considering alternative part numbers.
