Product details
Overview
T4080NXN7PQB 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, 2 MB L2 cache per cluster, dual DDR3L memory controllers supporting 1866 MT/s, and integrated DPAA accelerators for packet classification, cryptography (SEC 5.0), and pattern matching (PME 2.0). It targets high-throughput control-and-data-plane processing in networking gateways and enterprise routers.
For engineers reviewing the T4080NXN7PQB datasheet, T4080NXN7PQB pinout, T4080NXN7PQB application, or T4080NXN7PQB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 24 SerDes lanes, dual 10 GbE + 13×1 GbE MAC support, PCIe 3.0 controller count, hardware-assisted virtualization (hypervisor privilege level, PAMUv2), and CoreNet coherency fabric bandwidth allocation-critical for NFV, SDN, and secure edge routing designs.
Technical Context
The T4080NXN7PQB implements two clusters of four e6500 dual-threaded cores (4 physical / 8 virtual), each with 32 KB I/D cache and AltiVec SIMD, sharing 2 MB L2 cache per cluster and backed by a 1 MB CoreNet Platform Cache. Its hierarchical interconnect uses CoreNet fabric (1.6 Tb/s coherent read bandwidth) and QMAN fabric for packet-level scheduling with quality-of-service enforcement.
It integrates dual Frame Managers (FMAN 1.1) supporting up to 2×10 GbE + 10×1 GbE MACs, SEC 5.0 crypto engine (40 Gbit/s AES/3DES), PME 2.0 (10 Gbit/s RegEx), DCE 1.0 (20 Gbit/s compression), and three PCIe 3.0 controllers with SR-IOV (2 PFs, 128 VFs), all managed under hardware virtualization support including vMPIC, vDMA, and PAMUv2 I/O MMU.
