P4080NXE7MMC

The P4080NXE7MMC is an NXP QorIQ P4080 multicore microprocessor featuring eight Power Architecture e500mc cores operating up to 1.5 GHz. Built in 45 nm technology and positioned in the under-30‑watt power category, it combines multicore CPU performance with integrated datapath acceleration and high-performance networking I/O.

Designed for combined control and dataplane processing, this industrial‑qualified device targets high-performance networking and embedded systems—providing a compact, highly integrated platform for routers, switches, media gateways, base station controllers and other telecom, networking and industrial applications.

Key Features

• Core and Performance Eight PowerPC e500mc cores (32‑bit) running up to 1.5 GHz, providing parallel compute capability for control and dataplane tasks.
• Three‑Tier Cache & Coherency Integrated L1 per core, dedicated backside L2 caches and a multi‑megabyte L3 cache backed by the CoreNet coherency fabric to manage cache coherency and reduce contention.
• Memory Subsystem 64‑bit DDR2/DDR3 memory controller with ECC for robust system memory support and error protection.
• Networking I/O Multiple high‑speed Ethernet interfaces including eight 1 Gbps ports and two 10 Gbps ports, plus high‑speed SerDes lanes for datapath connectivity and acceleration.
• Peripherals and Interfaces USB 2.0 with PHY (2 ports) and DUART among available peripheral interfaces to support common control and management functions.
• Security Hardware security features including SEC 4.0 accelerators, boot security, cryptography, a random number generator and secure fusebox for platform protection.
• Package and Thermal 1295‑FCPBGA (37.5 × 37.5 mm) FCBGA package, surface mount, rated for industrial operation from −40 °C to 105 °C and RoHS compliant.
• Power and Integration Designed to deliver high networking performance in a low power envelope (under 30 W category), integrating datapath acceleration and system interfaces to simplify board design.

Typical Applications

• Service Provider Routers & Switches High‑throughput packet processing and L2–L7 services leveraging multicore CPU performance and multiple 1 Gbps/10 Gbps Ethernet interfaces.
• Media Gateways & Access Gateways Control and dataplane consolidation for gateways and access nodes, benefiting from integrated datapath acceleration and security features.
• Base Station & Radio Network Controllers Compute and I/O density for base station controllers and RNCs where parallel processing and deterministic I/O matter.
• Embedded Networking & Telecom Systems General‑purpose embedded computing in networking and telecom platforms requiring industrial qualification and extended temperature operation.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated multicore platform: Eight e500mc cores plus datapath accelerators and networking I/O reduce component count and simplify system design.
• Scalable cache hierarchy: L1/L2/L3 caches with CoreNet coherency minimize latency and avoid single‑point bottlenecks for concurrent on‑chip traffic.
• Rich networking connectivity: Multiple 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps Ethernet interfaces and high‑speed SerDes lanes enable demanding packet and datapath workloads.
• Hardware security suite: SEC 4.0 accelerators, boot security, cryptography, RNG and secure fusebox provide platform security primitives for protected deployments.
• Industrial readiness: Industrial qualification and −40 °C to 105 °C operating range support deployment in rugged and temperature‑sensitive environments.
• Compact system package: 1295‑FCPBGA (37.5 × 37.5 mm) surface‑mount package balances integration density with board‑level simplicity.
