LPC connector

The Low Pin Count Interface was defined by Intel

®

Corporation to facilitate the industry’s tran-

sition towards legacy free systems. It allows the integration of low-bandwidth legacy I/O com-

ponents within the system, which are typically provided by a Super I/O controller. Furthermore,

it can be used to interface firmware hubs, Trusted Platform Module (TPM) devices and embed-

ded controller solutions. Data transfer on the LPC bus is implemented over a 4 bit serialized

data interface, which uses a 33MHz LPC bus clock. For more information about LPC bus refer

to the Intel
