Overview
1 Overview
The T4240 QorIQ integrated multicore communications processor combines 12 dual-
threaded cores built on Power Architecture® technology with high-performance data path
acceleration and network and peripheral bus interfaces required for networking, telecom/
datacom, wireless infrastructure, and military/aerospace applications.
This chip can be used for combined control, data path, and application layer processing in
routers, switches, gateways, and general-purpose embedded computing systems. Its high
level of integration offers significant performance benefits compared to multiple discrete
devices, while also simplifying board design.
This figure shows the block diagram of the chip.
