Product details
Overview
T1023NSN7KQA from NXP Semiconductors is a dual-core 64-bit Power Architecture® communications processor with e5500 cores clocked up to 1.4 GHz, integrated DPAA acceleration, 256 KB L2 cache per core, 256 KB platform cache, and support for DDR3L/DDR4 memory at 1600 MT/s - deployed in wired/wireless branch routers and enterprise WLAN access points.
For engineers reviewing the T1023NSN7KQA datasheet, T1023NSN7KQA pinout, T1023NSN7KQA application, or T1023NSN7KQA equivalent, key selection considerations include DPAA-accelerated packet parsing/classification, SEC 5.x crypto offload, 4-lane 10 Gb/s SerDes, 4× Gigabit Ethernet MACs with MACsec, and FCBGA-783 package compatibility with T1024/T1042 designs.
Technical Context
The T1023NSN7KQA implements two e5500 64-bit Power ISA v2.07 cores with per-core 256 KB backside L2 cache and shared 256 KB CoreNet platform cache. It integrates the Data Path Acceleration Architecture (DPAA) with QMAN, BMAN, and SEC 5.x for hardware-accelerated packet processing, classification, and cryptography.
Its interconnect includes CoreNet Coherency Fabric, four 10 Gb/s SerDes lanes supporting SGMII/QSGMII/XFI/PCIe/SATA, three PCIe 2.0 controllers, and a QUICC Engine module for TDM/HDLC/ISDN legacy protocol handling - all within a power-optimized SoC targeting cost-sensitive edge networking control.
