The QorIQ T1 family of communications processors combines up to four 64-bit cores,
built on Power Architecture® technology, with high-performance Data Path Acceleration
Architecture (DPAA) and network peripheral bus interfaces required for networking and
telecommunications.
OVERVIEW
TARGET MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS
This scalable, pin-compatible family features the industry’s
first 64-bit embedded processor with an integrated Gigabit
Ethernet switch, the T1040 (and dual-core T1020), which
simplifies hardware design, reduces power and overall
system cost.
The T1 family is ideally suited for use in mixed control
and data plane applications such as fixed routers, switches,
Internet access devices, firewall and other packet filtering
applications, as well as general-purpose embedded
computing. Its high level of integration offers significant
performance benefits and greatly helps to simplify
board design.

The FMAN, a primary element of the
DPAA, parses headers from incoming
packets, then classifies and selects
data buffers with optional policing and
congestion management. The FMAN
passes its work to the QMAN which
assigns it to cores or accelerators with a
multilevel scheduling hierarchy.
is supported through three PCI Express® V2.0 controllers that support a variety of
lane widths. Other peripherals include SATA, SD/MMC, I2C, UART, SPI, NOR/NAND
controller, GPIO and a 1600 MT/s DDR3L/4 controller.
