T4241NSE7PQB

Overview

The T4241NSE7PQB is a QorIQ Power Architecture microprocessor featuring 24 e6500 cores operating at 1.67 GHz. It utilizes a 64-bit data bus and includes 32 kB L1 instruction and data caches per core, alongside a 2 MB L2 cache. The device supports DDR3L SDRAM with speeds up to 1.87 GT/s and integrates four 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. Operating within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +105°C, it employs an FCPBGA-1932 package and requires a core voltage between 975 mV and 1.025 V.

Feature Summary

• Integrates 24 high-performance e6500 processor threads for parallel execution
• Includes hardware-accelerated cryptographic capabilities
• Supports multiple I/O voltages including 1.35 V, 1.5 V, 1.8 V, and 2.5 V
• Features integrated security engines and watchdog timers

Applications

• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific silicon revision level against project requirements, as the datasheet indicates Rev 2.0. Confirm that the FCPBGA-1932 package footprint matches the PCB layout exactly. Ensure thermal management solutions accommodate the power dissipation characteristics associated with 24 active cores at the specified clock frequency.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high thread count processing is required alongside native 10GbE connectivity. Compare against the T4240 series if lower clock speeds are acceptable, or consider the T4242 series for higher performance tiers. Verify compatibility with existing DDR3L memory controllers and PCIe interface configurations during system design.
