Table 2. Pin Descriptions
Pin Pin Type Description
VCC Power Power Supply. Proper decoupling is required.
GND Power System Ground.
MISO Output Host In Client Out. This pin serves as the SPI Data Output from the TPM.
MOSI Input Host Out Client In. This pin serves as the SPI Data Input to the TPM.
PIRQ# Open Drain Output SPI Interrupt Pin, active-low. This pin is used by the TPM to assert interrupts. If unused, it is recommended to tie this pin to ground directly or through a 4.7 kΩ resistor.
SPI_CLK Clock Input Input Clock to drive the SPI bus. It is recommended to assert this pin high for power savings when the TPM is not in use.
SPI_CS# Input SPI_CS# Chip Select, active-low. The TPM device will be selected when the chip select is asserted LOW.
SPI_RST# Input SPI Reset Pin, active-low. Pulsing this signal low resets the internal state of the TPM, and is equivalent to the removal/restoration of power to the device. The required minimum reset pulse width is 2 µs. On power-up, it is critical that the reset be kept active-low until the VCC and SPI_CLK stabilize. To be compliant with TCG requirements, this pin needs to be tied to the system reset. TPM_Init is indicated by asserting this pin.
Notice: The SPI standard uses the terminology “Master” and “Slave”. The equivalent Microchip terminology used in this document is “Host” and “Client”, respectively.
