Product details
Overview
T4080NSN7PQB from NXP Semiconductors is a multicore communications processor based on the Power Architecture e6500 core, delivering 4 dual-threaded physical cores (8 virtual cores) at up to 1.8 GHz, 2 MB L2 cache, dual 64-bit DDR3L memory controllers supporting 1866 MT/s, and integrated DPAA hardware accelerators for packet classification, cryptography (SEC 5.0), and pattern matching (PME 2.0). It targets control-and-data-plane convergence in networking infrastructure.
For engineers reviewing the T4080NSN7PQB datasheet, T4080NSN7PQB pinout, T4080NSN7PQB application, or T4080NSN7PQB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 24 SerDes lanes, dual 10 GbE + 13×1 GbE MAC support, PCIe 2.0/3.0 controller count, CoreNet coherency fabric bandwidth, and hardware-assisted virtualization with hypervisor privilege level and PAMUv2 I/O MMU.
Technical Context
The T4080NSN7PQB implements four clustered e6500 cores-each with 32 KB I/D cache and AltiVec SIMD-arranged in one bank sharing 2 MB L2 cache. Its CoreNet Platform Cache is configured as 1 MB (two 512 KB blocks), and it integrates dual DDR3L controllers with ECC and interleaving support.
Networking is enabled via two Frame Managers (FMANs), supporting up to 2×10 GbE and 13×1 GbE MACs over SGMII/QSGMII/XAUI/10Gbase-KR, plus three PCIe 2.0/3.0 controllers (endpoint SR-IOV capable), two RapidIO 2.0 ports, and Interlaken-LA interface. The DPAA offloads packet parsing, queue management (QMAN), buffer allocation (BMAN), and crypto acceleration (SEC 5.0 @ 40 Gbit/s).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multicore communications processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NXP T4160NSN7PQB | 8 physical / 16 virtual cores, 4 MB L2 cache, 24 SerDes lanes, same package; higher core count but identical I/O and accelerator set | Preferred for higher control-plane thread density (e.g., multi-instance SDN controllers), same data-plane throughput ceiling | Select T4160NSN7PQB when >8 virtual threads are required without increasing PCB footprint or thermal design |

Compared with T4160NSN7PQB and T4240NSN7PQB, the T4080NSN7PQB provides optimal balance of virtual thread count (8), SerDes flexibility (24 lanes), and power efficiency (21 W typical) for mid-tier edge and enterprise appliances where full T4240 bandwidth is unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the T4080NSN7PQB?
The T4080NSN7PQB operates at up to 1.8 GHz per e6500 core, with dual-threaded execution maintaining full performance scaling across all 4 physical cores. This frequency is validated under industrial temperature range (–40°C to +105°C) with appropriate thermal management. The T4080NSN7PQB's 1.8 GHz rating enables deterministic real-time response in radar imaging and telecom control applications while staying within its 21 W typical power envelope.
Does the T4080NSN7PQB support hardware virtualization?
Yes, the T4080NSN7PQB includes full hardware-assisted virtualization features: an extra hypervisor privilege level, logical-to-real address translation acceleration, PAMUv2 I/O MMU for DMA protection, and vMPIC/vDMA support. These capabilities enable certified KVM deployments and commercial hypervisors from Wind River and Green Hills Software. The T4080NSN7PQB's virtualization stack is validated for NFV use cases requiring strict guest isolation and low-latency interrupt handling.
What memory interfaces does the T4080NSN7PQB support?
The T4080NSN7PQB integrates two 64-bit DDR3L memory controllers supporting data rates up to 1866 MT/s, with on-die termination, ECC, and interleaving. It does not support DDR4 or LPDDR. The memory subsystem is optimized for low-latency access patterns typical in packet buffering and control-plane table lookups. For designs using the T4080NSN7PQB, JEDEC-compliant DDR3L-1866 modules with 1.35 V operation are required to meet timing and power specifications.
How many 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces does the T4080NSN7PQB support?
The T4080NSN7PQB supports exactly two 10 Gigabit Ethernet MACs via its dual Frame Managers, configurable over XAUI, XFI, or 10Gbase-KR PHY interfaces. This is fixed per silicon configuration and cannot be increased via software. The T4080NSN7PQB's 2×10 GbE capability aligns with mid-tier edge router and UTM appliance requirements, distinguishing it from the T4160NSN7PQB (also 2×10 GbE) and T4240NSN7PQB (4×10 GbE).
Is the T4080NSN7PQB pin-compatible with other QorIQ T4 family processors?
Yes, the T4080NSN7PQB shares the identical 783-ball FC-BGA package and pinout with the T4160NSN7PQB and T4240NSN7PQB, enabling hardware scalability across the T4 family. This allows designers to upgrade core count and I/O bandwidth without PCB redesign. However, thermal and power delivery requirements differ: the T4080NSN7PQB's lower core count reduces peak current draw and simplifies heatsink specification compared to the T4240NSN7PQB.
