MANUFACTURER PART RECORDARA-2120AA-CA0T-T
NXP SemiconductorsARA-2120AA-CA0T-T is the commercial-grade, tray-packed orderable form of the NXP Semiconductors Ara240 discrete neural processing unit (DNPU), a dedicated AI companion accelerator delivering up to 40 equivalent TOPS (eTOPS) at a 900 MHz core frequency with support for up to 16 GB of LPDDR4 memory at a typical power consumption of 6.5 W. It offloads transformer, CNN, LLM, VLM and VLA inference from the host processor through a 4-lane PCIe Gen4 interface or USB 3.2 Gen 1, so edge systems run large models locally with low latency instead of depending on cloud compute. The business gain is measurable: local inference cuts recurring cloud cost, keeps sensitive data on device, and lets an existing host platform add generative-AI capability without a full redesign, while secure boot and a hardware root-of-trust processor harden deployment in industrial and enterprise environments. Evidence: NXP lists the Ara240 with these specifications on its official product page and publishes the commercial datasheet (Rev. 2.0, April 2026) that defines this ordering code, and the device is covered by the NXP Product Longevity program with a minimum 10-year availability. Selection and procurement advice: the DNPU is a companion accelerator, not a standalone host, so confirm host interface, lane configuration, memory size and SDK support against your platform before ordering; the trailing T denotes tray packing (B denotes bulk) and the C denotes commercial grade, so quote the full ARA-2120AA-CA0T-T code character for character, since packing and grade change the supplied part.
