P4080NSE7MMC

The P4080NSE7MMC is an NXP Semiconductors QorIQ P4 series multicore microprocessor featuring eight Power Architecture e500mc cores running up to 1.5 GHz in a 1295-FCPBGA (37.5×37.5 mm) package. It integrates high-performance datapath acceleration logic, networking I/O and peripheral interfaces to address compute- and I/O-intensive embedded applications.

Designed for combined control and dataplane processing, the device targets enterprise and service-provider networking, telecom infrastructure and other embedded systems that require significant packet-processing throughput and system-level integration while operating within an under-30-watt power envelope.

Key Features

• Core and Performance  Eight PowerPC e500mc cores running up to 1.5 GHz, delivering parallel processing for compute- and I/O-heavy workloads.
• Multi-level Cache  Three-tier cache hierarchy with per-core L1 (32 KB I-cache / 32 KB D-cache), dedicated backside L2 (128 KB) and a shared multi-megabyte L3/CoreNet platform cache to improve latency and throughput for multi-core workloads.
• Memory Subsystem  64-bit DDR2/DDR3 memory controller with ECC support for robust system memory operation.
• Security and Cryptography  On-chip SEC 4.0 acceleration and security features including boot security, cryptography, a random number generator and a secure fusebox for device-level protection.
• Networking and I/O  Multiple high-speed networking ports: eight 1 Gbps Ethernet interfaces and two 10 Gbps Ethernet interfaces, plus two USB 2.0 ports with PHY and DUART for serial connectivity.
• High-speed SerDes and PCIe  Integrated high-speed SerDes fabric with 18 lanes supporting up to 5 GHz and on-chip PCIe lanes for high-bandwidth peripheral connectivity.
• Integration and Acceleration  On-chip datapath acceleration logic, frame and queue managers, and peripheral management units to simplify board design and offload common networking tasks.
• Package and Assembly  1295-FCPBGA (37.5×37.5 mm) surface-mount package; package type noted as 1295-BBGA / FCBGA.
• Operating Range and Compliance  Operating temperature range 0 °C to 105 °C. RoHS compliant and qualified as Consumer.

Typical Applications

• Enterprise and Service-Provider Routing and Switching  Used for control and dataplane tasks in routers and switches where multi-core packet processing and multiple high-speed Ethernet ports are required.
• Media Gateways and Voice/Data Gateways  Provides the compute and security acceleration needed for media session handling and secure transport.
• Base Station and Radio Network Controllers  Supports layered networking functions and datapath acceleration for cellular infrastructure and access gateways.
• Embedded Networking and Telecom Systems  Suitable for embedded platforms that need integrated memory controllers, SerDes, PCIe and peripheral accelerators to reduce board-level complexity.

Unique Advantages

• High core density: Eight e500mc cores at up to 1.5 GHz enable parallel processing of control and dataplane workloads.
• Robust cache architecture: Three-tier cache (L1, backside L2, multi-megabyte L3) and CoreNet coherency reduce cache contention and improve multi-core efficiency.
• Integrated networking I/O: Multiple 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps Ethernet ports, SerDes lanes and PCIe reduce the need for discrete interfaces and simplify system design.
• Built-in security accelerators: SEC 4.0, cryptography, RNG and secure fusebox provide hardware-assisted security functions to accelerate secure boot and data protection.
• Memory reliability: 64-bit DDR2/DDR3 controller with ECC enhances system robustness for mission-critical packet processing.
• System-level integration: On-chip datapath accelerators, frame/queue managers and peripheral controllers help lower BOM count and streamline board layout.
