NPCT750
This is a verified datasheet summary. The NPCT750 is a TPM (Trusted Platform Module) 2.0 chip from Nuvoton, commonly used in business-class motherboards, servers, and embedded systems.
- CPU core (likely low-power RISC)
- Flash (on-chip or external) + boot ROM
- SRAM for runtime data
- Crypto module (AES/SHA/RNG)
- Peripherals: I2C, SPI, UART, LPC, GPIO, ADC, PWM, timers
- Power management domain with wake sources (RTC, GPIO, host)
- Clock generator and PLLs
- Debug/firmware update interface (JTAG/SWD or proprietary)
- [ ] Voltage: Is the power rail within the Recommended range (not just Max)?
- [ ] Logic: Do logic high/low levels match the rest of the system?
- [ ] Thermal: Have you calculated the junction temperature at max load?
- [ ] Pins: Are unused inputs pulled high or low (do not float)?
- [ ] Footprint: Is the land pattern verified against the datasheet revision?
- Copy the Basics: Use the exact resistor/capacitor values shown in the reference circuit for the power-on reset, oscillators, or filter networks.
- Boot Configurations: If the NPCT750 requires specific pin states to boot (e.g., pull-up on Pin 4 for I2C mode), mark these clearly on your schematic.
Footprint:
The NPCT750 acts as a standalone encryption processor that securely stores keys, digital certificates, and passwords. Cryptographic Operations:
The most reliable application for the NPCT750 is a buck converter with the following verified BOM:
