T4240NSN7QTB

Overview

The T4240NSN7QTB is a QorIQ microprocessor based on the Power Architecture e6500 core. It features 24 cores operating at 1.667 GHz with dual-threading capability. The device utilizes an FCPBGA-1932 package and supports DDR3/DDR3L SDRAM storage types. I/O voltages include 1.35 V, 1.5 V, 1.8 V, and 2.5 V. Operating temperatures range from 0°C to +105°C. The processor includes 32 kB L1 instruction and data caches per core, along with a shared 2 MB L2 cache. Interfaces supported are Ethernet, I2C, PCI-e, Serial, and USB.

Feature Summary

• Integrates 24 e6500 cores for high-performance multi-threaded processing
• Supports multiple I/O voltage standards including 1.35 V and 2.5 V
• Includes hardware watchdog timer functionality
• Compatible with DDR3 and DDR3L memory technologies

Applications

• High-throughput network infrastructure equipment
• Telecommunications control plane processors
• Enterprise routing and switching platforms

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision level (Rev 2.0) against design requirements. Confirm that cryptographic acceleration features are disabled as indicated by the part suffix. Ensure compatibility with the required DDR3L memory configuration and validate thermal management solutions for the specified industrial temperature range of up to 105°C before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when 24-core processing power is required without integrated cryptographic hardware acceleration. Compare against the T4241NSE7QTB if encryption capabilities are needed. Ensure the design accommodates the large FCPBGA-1932 footprint and supports the necessary power delivery rails between 975 mV and 1.025 V for core operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the NXP QorIQ T4240 series, designed for demanding networking applications. It shares architectural similarities with other T-series processors but offers higher core counts. The specific suffix indicates the absence of crypto engines and the operational temperature range, distinguishing it from variants with different feature sets or commercial temperature ratings.

Replacement Considerations

The T4241NSE7QTB serves as a functional substitute within the same family, differing primarily in the inclusion of cryptographic acceleration features. Both parts share identical core counts, clock speeds, and package types.
