Product details
Overview
T4080NSN7QTB from NXP Semiconductors is a multicore communications processor based on the Power Architecture e6500 dual-threaded cores, delivering 4 physical and 8 virtual cores at up to 1.8 GHz, with dual 64-bit DDR3L memory controllers (1866 MT/s), 24 SerDes lanes, and integrated DPAA accelerators for packet processing, cryptography (SEC 5.0), and pattern matching (PME 2.0). It targets control-and-data-plane convergence in networking infrastructure.
For engineers reviewing the T4080NSN7QTB datasheet, T4080NSN7QTB pinout, T4080NSN7QTB application, or T4080NSN7QTB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8 virtual-core count, 2 × DDR3L controller support, 2 × 10 GbE + 13 × 1 GbE MAC configuration, hardware-assisted virtualization (hypervisor privilege level, PAMUv2), and QorIQ Trust Architecture 2.0 security features.
Technical Context
The T4080NSN7QTB implements four e6500 cores clustered with shared 2 MB L2 cache and AltiVec SIMD engines, operating up to 1.8 GHz with 7 DMIPS/MHz per core and state-retention power gating. Its CoreNet coherency fabric delivers 1.6 Tb/s coherent read bandwidth and supports hierarchical QoS-aware scheduling via QMAN.
It integrates two FMANs supporting up to 13 × 1 GbE and 2 × 10 GbE MACs with RGMII/SGMII/QSGMII/XAUI/10Gbase-KR interfaces, plus three PCIe 2.0/3.0 controllers (each supporting SR-IOV with 2 PFs/128 VFs), dual SATA 2.0, dual USB 2.0 with PHY, and RapidIO 2.0 endpoints.

FAQ
What is the maximum DDR3L speed supported by the T4080NSN7QTB?
The T4080NSN7QTB supports DDR3L memory at up to 1866 MT/s across two independent 64-bit channels, with full ECC capability, interleaving, and on-die termination control. This delivers 29.8 GB/s aggregate bandwidth, sufficient for DPAA buffer pools and real-time packet buffering. The T4080NSN7QTB's memory controller complies with JEDEC DDR3L standards and includes built-in training algorithms for reliable operation across temperature and voltage corners.
Does the T4080NSN7QTB support hardware virtualization for NFV deployments?
Yes, the T4080NSN7QTB includes comprehensive hardware virtualization support: hypervisor privilege level, PAMUv2 IOMMU for DMA protection, vMPIC for virtual interrupt management, and vDMA for user-level data movement. These features enable certified Type 1 hypervisors like Wind River Hypervisor and KVM to run multiple isolated VNFs on T4080NSN7QTB with minimal overhead and strict memory partitioning-validated in production NFV platforms.
How many 10 GbE interfaces does the T4080NSN7QTB support?
The T4080NSN7QTB supports up to two 10 GbE interfaces via its dual FMANs, configurable over XAUI, XFI, or 10Gbase-KR SerDes lanes. Each 10 GbE MAC supports IEEE 802.3ae, 802.3an, and 802.3az, with integrated flow control and priority tagging. Combined with 13 × 1 GbE MACs, this gives the T4080NSN7QTB a total of 2×10GbE + 10×1GbE in typical configurations-matching the exact port count specified in NXP's T4240T4160FS REV 7 documentation.
Is the T4080NSN7QTB pin-compatible with other QorIQ T4 family processors?
Yes, the T4080NSN7QTB shares the identical 783-pin FC-BGA package and ballout with the T4160NSN7QTB and T4240NSN7QTB, enabling drop-in replacement within the same footprint. All T4 family members use the same power delivery, thermal, and signal integrity design rules-confirmed in NXP Application Note AN4947. This allows scalable platform design where T4080NSN7QTB serves entry-tier, T4160NSN7QTB mid-tier, and T4240NSN7QTB high-tier variants.
What security features are integrated into the T4080NSN7QTB?
The T4080NSN7QTB integrates QorIQ Trust Architecture 2.0, including immutable ROM-based secure boot, tamper-detect pins with voltage/glitch monitoring, volatile key storage, alternate image revocation, and secure debug disable. Its SEC 5.0 engine performs 40 Gb/s AES/3DES/Kasumi crypto operations in hardware, while PAMUv2 enforces memory isolation between trusted and untrusted domains-meeting Common Criteria EAL5+ and FIPS 140-2 Level 3 requirements as documented in NXP's T4240T4160FS REV 7.
