Product details
Overview
T1040NXN7PQB from NXP is a quad-core 64-bit Power Architecture® communications processor featuring four e5500 cores up to 1.5 GHz, integrated 8-port Gigabit Ethernet switch, DPAA hardware acceleration (FMAN/BMAN/QMAN/SEC 5.4), and 1× DDR3L/DDR4 controller supporting 1600 MT/s with ECC - deployed in fixed routers, UTM appliances, and ruggedized network edge devices.
For engineers reviewing the T1040NXN7PQB datasheet, T1040NXN7PQB pinout, T1040NXN7PQB application, or T1040NXN7PQB equivalent, key selection criteria include integrated switch port count, DPAA throughput (13 Gb/s classify/parse), SEC crypto performance (5 Gb/s AES/3DES), SerDes lane configuration (8× 5 Gb/s), and virtualization support via hypervisor-level privilege mode.
Technical Context
The T1040NXN7PQB implements a coherent CoreNet fabric interconnecting four e5500 cores, 256 KB shared L3 cache, DDR3L/4 memory controller, and DPAA subsystems including Frame Manager (FMAN) for packet parsing/classification at 13 Gb/s, Queue Manager (QMAN) supporting 224 queues, and Security Engine (SEC 5.4) delivering 5 Gb/s symmetric encryption.
It integrates an 8-port Gigabit Ethernet switch (T1040-exclusive), eight 5 Gb/s SerDes lanes supporting SGMII/QSGMII/PCIe/SATA, QUICC Engine for legacy TDM/HDLC, and hardware-assisted virtualization with hypervisor privilege level - enabling concurrent real-time control and data-plane processing in single-board network appliances.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Count & Architecture | 4× 64-bit e5500 Power Architecture cores, enabling parallel control + data-plane execution in networking stacks. |
| Max Core Frequency | 1.5 GHz - delivers up to 4.5 DMIPS/MHz × 4 cores = ~6.75k DMIPS total for deterministic packet forwarding. |
| Integrated Switch | 8-port Gigabit Ethernet switch - eliminates external switch IC, reduces BOM cost and board area in compact routers. |
| DPAA Throughput | FMAN processes 13 Gb/s of packet classification/parsing - sustains line-rate 10-GbE aggregation across multiple ports. |

Applications
| Fixed Router | Unified Threat Management Appliance |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Residential and SMB broadband gateway aggregating DSL/cable/fiber upstream with multiple LAN clients and QoS-based traffic shaping. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main system-on-chip executing Linux-based routing stack, managing NAT, DHCP, firewall rules, and integrated switch forwarding.

Use Scenario: Edge security appliance performing stateful firewall, intrusion prevention, and SSL/TLS decryption on inbound/outbound traffic. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-role processor: control plane runs Linux security services, data plane offloads packet inspection and crypto to DPAA/SEC. Use Value: FMAN's 13 Gb/s classification + SEC's 5 Gb/s AES enables real-time deep packet inspection and encrypted tunnel termination at 1 GbE line rate. |
| Ruggedized Network Appliance | Industrial Ethernet Switch |
Use Scenario: Military or industrial field-deployed router operating in extended temperature (-40°C to +105°C) with EMI-hardened enclosure and MIL-STD-810 compliance. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-integration SoC providing deterministic packet forwarding, secure boot, tamper detection, and watchdog-managed failover. Use Value: QorIQ Trust Architecture (secure boot, tamper detection) plus ECC DDR and thermal-aware throttling ensure runtime integrity in harsh environments. |
Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted managed switch for factory automation, supporting PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and time-sensitive networking (TSN) synchronization. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Real-time control processor running RTOS for protocol stack, while DPAA handles time-critical packet scheduling and timestamping. Use Value: Hardware-assisted IEEE 1588v2 timestamping in FMAN + QMAN queue management enables sub-microsecond jitter for TSN-compliant motion control networks. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar communications processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| T1042NXN7PQB | Same 4× e5500 core, 1.5 GHz, DDR3L/4, and DPAA; adds dual 1/10 GbE MACs and removes 8-port switch. | Better suited for 10GbE uplink aggregation; lacks integrated switch - requires external switch IC for multi-port LAN. | Select T1042NXN7PQB when 10GbE uplink and lower port density are prioritized over integrated switching. |
| LX2160A | 16× Arm Cortex-A72 cores, 2.0 GHz, 16-lane SerDes, DPAA2 (higher throughput), no integrated switch. | Targeted at higher-throughput SD-WAN and vCPE; lacks T1040NXN7PQB's 8-port switch and Power Architecture legacy software compatibility. | Select LX2160A for cloud-native, containerized network functions requiring >20 Gb/s DPAA2 throughput and Arm ecosystem alignment. |
Compared with T1040NXN7PQB, T1042NXN7PQB trades integrated switching for 10GbE uplinks and maintains identical core/DMA/SEC capabilities, while LX2160A shifts to Arm architecture with higher core count and DPAA2 but requires full software re-architecture and external switch integration.

FAQ
What is the maximum DDR memory speed supported by T1040NXN7PQB?
T1040NXN7PQB supports DDR3L and DDR4 memory at up to 1600 MT/s with full ECC protection. The memory controller implements a 64-bit bus width and supports up to 64 GB of addressable space. This speed enables sustained bandwidth for routing table lookups, session state storage, and DPAA buffer management in high-throughput packet processing applications using the T1040NXN7PQB.
Does T1040NXN7PQB include an integrated Ethernet switch, and how many ports does it support?
Yes, T1040NXN7PQB includes a fully integrated 8-port Gigabit Ethernet switch - a feature exclusive to the T1040 and T1020 variants within the QorIQ T1 family. It supports wire-speed switching for all standard frame sizes, with hardware-accelerated VLAN, ACL, and QoS processing. This eliminates the need for an external switch IC in compact router and UTM designs based on the T1040NXN7PQB.
What cryptographic algorithms does the Security Engine (SEC) in T1040NXN7PQB accelerate?
The SEC 5.4 engine in T1040NXN7PQB accelerates AES-128/192/256 (ECB/CBC/CTR/CCM/GCM), DES/3DES, SHA-1/224/256/384/512, MD5, and RSA up to 4096-bit. It delivers up to 5 Gb/s symmetric encryption throughput, enabling full-line-rate IPsec and TLS offload. These capabilities are confirmed in the T1 Family Reference Manual and are integral to secure boot and runtime encryption in T1040NXN7PQB-based systems.
Is hardware virtualization supported on T1040NXN7PQB, and what software is compatible?
Yes, T1040NXN7PQB supports hardware-assisted virtualization via an extra hypervisor privilege level in the e5500 core. Compatible software includes NXP's reference hypervisor, KVM on Linux, Linux OS containers, and commercial solutions from Green Hills Software and Enea. This allows secure partitioning of control plane (Linux) and data plane (DPAA-accelerated fast path) on the same T1040NXN7PQB die.
What is the SerDes configuration available on T1040NXN7PQB?
T1040NXN7PQB integrates eight 5 Gb/s SerDes lanes, configurable as SGMII (up to 8×), QSGMII (up to 2×), PCIe 2.0 (up to 3× x1/x2/x4), or SATA 2.0 (up to 2×). This flexibility supports direct attachment of PHYs, switches, SSDs, and expansion cards without retiming. The SerDes configuration is set via hardware strapping and fuse settings at boot - a fixed attribute of the T1040NXN7PQB silicon.
