eSPI-to-LPC bridge

26 June 2019 Computer/Embedded Technology

Microchip Technology’s new ECE1200 bridge allows developers to implement the eSPI standard in boards with legacy LPC connectors and peripherals.

Product longevity is critical in industrial computing equipment applications because of the significant upfront investment required. The ECE1200 allows developers to maintain long lifecycles while supporting the eSPI bus technology that is required for new computing applications using the next generation of chipsets and CPUs. To reduce risk for developers, the eSPI bus technology has been through intensive validation for industrial computing applications and has been validated with leading processor companies.

Designed for today’s eSPI requirements, the ECE1200 detects and supports ‘Modern Standby’ mode with low standby current. This helps industrial computing developers to manage operating costs and efficiencies, while maintaining the features end users expect from modern devices.

The chip is simple to implement and does not require any software. To streamline development, it comes with a BIOS porting guide, schematics and a layout guide. The ECE1200-I/LD is available in a 40-pin VQFN package.
