Active4,251 in stock

Overview

The AT97SC3205T is a fully integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) based on an 8-bit AVR RISC core, designed to provide hardware-based security for computing and embedded systems. It is compliant with the TCG TPM Version 1.2 specification and features dedicated hardware engines for RSA, SHA-1, AES, and HMAC operations. This turnkey solution includes 2066 bytes of user-defined NV storage and an I2C interface for seamless integration into 3.3V systems.

Why Choose This Part

The device is FIPS-140-2 Module Certified, ensuring high-assurance security for critical cryptographic functions like random number generation and hashing. Its compact 4x4mm VQFN package and I2C interface simplify the physical and logical integration into space-constrained embedded designs compared to LPC-based TPMs.

Applications

Secure Boot and Integrity
Storing platform configuration registers (PCRs) to verify system integrity and ensure only authorized firmware is executed.
Cryptographic Key Management
Generating and protecting RSA keys within hardware-backed EEPROM storage for secure digital signatures and encryption.
IoT Device Identity
Providing a unique hardware-bound identity and secure credential storage for industrial IoT nodes.

Getting Started

To implement this TPM, engineers should utilize the Microchip TPM library and ensure the host controller supports I2C communication. Physical integration requires a 3.29V to 3.31V supply voltage and attention to the 0.4mm pitch 32-VQFN package requirements. Evaluation can be performed using the AT97SC3205T-SDK development kits which provide reference software for TCG-compliant drivers.
