Product details
Overview
T1023NSE7PQA from NXP Semiconductors is a dual-core 64-bit Power Architecture® communications processor featuring e5500 cores clocked up to 1.4 GHz, integrated DPAA acceleration, 256 KB L2 cache, and support for DDR3L/DDR4 memory at 1600 MT/s - deployed in wired/wireless branch routers and service provider WLAN access points.
For engineers reviewing the T1023NSE7PQA datasheet, T1023NSE7PQA pinout, T1023NSE7PQA application, or T1023NSE7PQA equivalent, key selection factors include its 23 × 23 mm FCBGA package, SerDes lane count (4× @10 Gbps), SEC 5.x crypto engine, DPAA offload for CAPWAP/DTLS, and software compatibility with QorIQ P10XX family upgrades.
Technical Context
The T1023NSE7PQA implements two e5500 CPU cores with per-core 256 KB backside L2 cache and shared 256 KB platform cache, operating under Power ISA v2.06 64-bit architecture with hybrid 32-bit mode support. It integrates CoreNet Coherency Fabric and QMAN-based packet management fabric for deterministic traffic scheduling.
Its Data Path Acceleration Architecture (DPAA) provides hardware-accelerated parsing, classification, distribution, queue management, buffer management, and SEC 5.x cryptography - enabling full L2/L3 tunneling and CAPWAP/DTLS offload without host CPU intervention.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar communications processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| T1024NSE7PQA | Dual-core with full CoreNet Coherency Fabric and Security Monitor; includes Security Fuse Processor | Targeted for higher-security deployments requiring secure boot enforcement and tamper response | Select when hardware-enforced trust architecture and full coherency are required for hypervisor or partitioned OS environments |
| T1013NSE7PQA | Single-core variant; lacks CoreNet Coherency Fabric and Security Monitor; reduced SerDes configuration | Better suited for cost-optimized, lower-throughput control-plane applications like basic routers or print servers | Choose for non-coherent, single-threaded workloads where BOM cost and power efficiency outweigh multi-core scalability needs |
Compared with T1024NSE7PQA, the T1023NSE7PQA omits CoreNet coherency and security monitor but retains DPAA, SEC 5.x, and identical I/O - making it ideal for asymmetric control/data-path designs. Versus T1013NSE7PQA, it delivers dual-core throughput and full SerDes flexibility at minimal power premium.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the T1023NSE7PQA?
The T1023NSE7PQA operates at a maximum frequency of 1.4 GHz. This clock speed is specified under validated thermal and voltage conditions per NXP's T1024FS REV 2 documentation. The dual e5500 cores sustain this frequency with active thermal management and proper PCB layout for power delivery integrity. T1023NSE7PQA performance scales linearly within this range for real-time packet processing workloads.
Does the T1023NSE7PQA support DDR4 memory?
Yes, the T1023NSE7PQA supports both DDR3L and DDR4 SDRAM at data rates up to 1600 MT/s, with ECC capability enabled across both memory types. The 64-bit wide controller allows interleaved access patterns to maximize bandwidth for control-plane and packet buffering. T1023NSE7PQA requires specific termination and calibration sequences during initialization, as defined in the QorIQ T1024 Reference Manual.
Is the T1023NSE7PQA pin-compatible with other QorIQ processors?
The T1023NSE7PQA is not pin-compatible with the T1013 or T1024 variants, though it shares the same 23 × 23 mm FCBGA package footprint as the T1024 and T1042. Pin assignments differ due to functional variations - notably absence of CoreNet Coherency Fabric signals and Security Monitor interfaces. T1023NSE7PQA requires its own dedicated layout; migration from T1024 demands netlist and constraint file revision.
What cryptographic algorithms does the SEC 5.x engine in the T1023NSE7PQA accelerate?
The SEC 5.x engine in the T1023NSE7PQA accelerates AES-128/192/256 (ECB/CBC/CTR/GCM), SHA-1/224/256/384/512, RSA-1024/2048/4096, DSA, ECDSA, and HMAC-SHA. These accelerations are used by the Linux kernel's crypto API and VortiQa security software stack. T1023NSE7PQA implements FIPS 140-2 Level 3–aligned secure boot using these primitives for signature verification and key wrapping.
Does the T1023NSE7PQA include a QUICC Engine module?
No, the T1023NSE7PQA does not include a QUICC Engine module. That feature is present only in the T1024 and T1042 variants. T1023NSE7PQA relies on software-managed UART, I²C, and GPIO peripherals for industrial protocol bridging. Legacy TDM/HDLC support must be implemented externally or via FPGA co-processor when required in multifunction printer or line card controller designs.
