Product details
Overview
T1023NXN7KQA from NXP Semiconductors is a dual-core 64-bit Power Architecture® communications processor featuring e5500 cores clocked up to 1.4 GHz, 256 KB backside L2 cache per core, DPAA acceleration, and integrated 10 GbE SerDes for edge routing and network control applications.
For engineers reviewing the T1023NXN7KQA datasheet, T1023NXN7KQA pinout, T1023NXN7KQA application, or T1023NXN7KQA equivalent, key selection factors include DDR3L/DDR4 memory controller bandwidth (1600 MT/s), SEC 5.x crypto engine support, DPAA offload for CAPWAP/DTLS, and FCBGA-783 package compatibility with T1024/T1042 designs.
Technical Context
The T1023NXN7KQA implements two e5500 64-bit Power ISA v2.06 cores with hybrid 32-bit mode support, CoreNet coherency fabric, and PAMU-based memory management. It integrates a 256 KB platform cache and supports lossless deep sleep and auto-response power states.
Networking acceleration is delivered via DPAA-including QMAN, BMAN, parse/classify/distribute engines-and a QUICC Engine supporting TDM/HDLC/ISDN. SerDes provides four lanes at up to 10 Gbit/s, configurable for SGMII, QSGMII, XFI, PCIe 2.0, and SATA 2.0.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar communications processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| T1024NXN7KQA | Dual-core e5500 at 1.4 GHz; identical package and pinout; includes CoreNet Coherency Fabric and Security Monitor not present in T1023 | Required for coherent multi-core cache sharing and enhanced secure boot enforcement in UTM and defense systems | Select when coherency, secure monitor, or fuse-based provisioning is mandatory |
| T1013NXN7KQA | Single-core e5500 at 1.4 GHz; same DPAA, SerDes, and peripheral set; lower power and cost due to one core and reduced cache footprint | Suitable for cost-sensitive branch routers and printers where single-threaded control-plane throughput suffices | Select when BOM cost and thermal envelope are primary constraints over multi-core scalability |
Compared with T1024NXN7KQA, the T1023NXN7KQA omits CoreNet coherency and security monitor but retains full DPAA, SerDes, and peripheral functionality-making it ideal for non-coherent, lower-cost edge control. Versus T1013NXN7KQA, it adds a second core and full L2 cache, enabling higher concurrent session handling in APs and gateways.

FAQ
What is the maximum DDR4 speed supported by the T1023NXN7KQA?
The T1023NXN7KQA supports DDR4 memory up to 1600 MT/s using its 64-bit interface with ECC. This speed is validated across temperature and voltage corners per the T1024FS Rev 2 datasheet. The memory controller also supports DDR3L at the same data rate and includes on-die termination calibration for signal integrity. T1023NXN7KQA achieves this performance with programmable timing parameters and adaptive read/write leveling.
Does the T1023NXN7KQA include hardware virtualization support?
Yes, the T1023NXN7KQA includes hardware-enforced virtualization support through an extra privileged level (Hypervisor mode) and partitioning enforcement features. These capabilities enable secure separation of guest OS instances in UTM gateways and network function virtualization platforms. T1023NXN7KQA leverages Power ISA v2.06 hypervisor extensions and PAMU-based memory isolation to ensure robust VM boundaries.
Is the T1023NXN7KQA pin-compatible with the T1042 processor?
No, the T1023NXN7KQA is not pin-compatible with the T1042. While both use 23 mm × 23 mm FCBGA packages, the T1023NXN7KQA has 783 balls and the T1042 uses 1296 balls. However, the T1023NXN7KQA shares scalable pin compatibility with the T1024NXN7KQA - same footprint, ball count, and I/O assignment - enabling migration within the dual-core family.
What SerDes protocols does the T1023NXN7KQA support?
The T1023NXN7KQA supports four 10 Gbit/s SerDes lanes configurable for SGMII, 2.5G SGMII, QSGMII, XFI, 10GBASE-KR, PCIe 2.0, and SATA 2.0. Each lane operates independently and can be assigned to different protocols simultaneously - for example, one lane as 10GbE KR, two as SGMII for GbE PHYs, and one as PCIe endpoint. T1023NXN7KQA does not support CPRI or OBSAI.
Does the T1023NXN7KQA include a QUICC Engine module?
Yes, the T1023NXN7KQA includes a full QUICC Engine module supporting TDM, HDLC, UART, ISDN, and industrial protocols such as M-Bus and PROFIBUS. This module operates independently of the e5500 cores and handles time-critical serial communications without CPU intervention. T1023NXN7KQA uses the same QUICC Engine revision as the T1024, ensuring software compatibility across the family.
