Description ST33TPM12SPI
1 Description
The ST33TPM12SPI is a cost-effective and high performance Trusted Platform Module
(TPM) targeting embedded system applications.
This device implements the functions defined by the Trusted Computing Group
(www.trustedcomputinggroup.org) in the TCG Trusted Platform Module Specifications
version 1.2 Level 2 Revision 116 ([1][2][3]), and is also based on the TCG PC Client specific
TPM interface specifications 1.21 [5] and the PC Client implementation specification for
conventional BIOS [6] for what concerns the TPM internal register list and bit definitions.
The ST33TPM12SPI is based on a secure MCU hardware platform.
The ST33TPM12SPI is built on a 32-bit ARM® reduced instruction set computing (RISC)
processor which provides high cryptographic and general performances. A crypto-processor
NESCRYPT is also present to support efficiently all public key cryptographic algorithms.
1.1 Hardware features
The ST33TPM12SPI is based on a smartcard-class secure MCU that incorporates the most
recent generation of ARM processors for embedded secure systems. Its SecurCore®
SC300™ 32-bit RISC core is built on the Cortex™ M3 core with additional security features
to help to protect against advanced forms of attacks.
Cadenced at 30 MHz, the SC300™ core brings great performance and excellent code
density thanks to the Thumb®-2 instruction set.
The ST33TPM12SPI offers a fast slave serial peripheral interface (SPI) supported by an
embedded hardware communication engine.
The ST33TPM12SPI features hardware accelerators for advanced cryptographic functions.
The EDES peripheral provides a secure DES (Data Encryption Standard) algorithm
implementation, while the NESCRYPT crypto-processor efficiently supports the public key
algorithm.
The ST33TPM12SPI operates in the 0 to +70°C temperature and 3.3V supply voltage
ranges.
In order to meet environmental requirements, ST offers these devices in different grades of
ECOPACK® packages, depending on their level of environmental compliance. ECOPACK®
specifications, grade definitions and device status are available at: www.st.com.
ECOPACK® is an ST trademark.
