T4241NSN7QTB

Overview

The T4241NSN7QTB 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, with 2 MB of L2 cache. The device supports DDR3L SDRAM memory interfaces running at 1.87 GT/s and integrates four 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports. 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 scalable multi-threaded execution
• Includes hardware-accelerated cryptographic capabilities for secure data processing
• Provides integrated 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for high-speed network applications
• Supports low-power DDR3L memory interfaces for efficient system bandwidth

Applications

• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Enterprise networking switches and routers
• Industrial automation control systems
• Building I/O controllers requiring high processing power

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'QTB' against official NXP documentation to confirm the presence of enabled cryptographic features and the 1.67 GHz clock speed variant. Ensure compatibility with the required 1.87 GT/s DDR3L memory specifications and the FCPBGA-1932 package footprint during design integration. Confirm that the 0-105°C operating temperature range meets the environmental requirements of the target application.

Selection Notes

Select this component when 24-core throughput and hardware encryption are required for network-intensive tasks. Compare against the T4241NSN7TTB if cryptographic features are unnecessary, as the latter offers a higher 1.8 GHz clock speed. Ensure the design supports the specific I/O voltages of 1.35 V, 1.5 V, 1.8 V, and 2.5 V for proper interface compatibility.

Part Context

This part belongs to the NXP T4240 series of QorIQ processors, designed for high-performance embedded applications. It shares the same physical package and core architecture as other variants in the family, differing primarily in clock frequency and feature enablement such as cryptography. The series targets demanding workloads in networking and industrial sectors.

Replacement Considerations

The T4241NSN7TTB is a confirmed alternative within the same series, offering a 1.8 GHz clock speed but without cryptographic features. Verify software compatibility and thermal management requirements when substituting, as the performance characteristics differ slightly.
