Tiny RISC-V chip for the digital product passport (DPP)

By January 29, 2025No Comments

The RISC-V microcontroller NXP EdgeLock A30 is an “authenticator” that stores digital information and protects it from unauthorized modification. Among other things, the A30 is intended for use as a Digital Product Passport (DPP), as required by the EU for many electronic products in the future, such as batteries, toys and smartphones.

To enable manufacturers to install the DPP in very small devices, NXP also offers it in a particularly tiny WLCSP package with edge lengths of 1.47 and 1.645 millimeters. WLCSP stands for Wafer Level Chip Scale Packaging; the A30 is also available in other packages such as HVQFN20.
