IC AUTH SHA256 256-BIT KEY SOT23-3


Bypass caps, pull-ups, strapping resistors, custom silkscreen & more
Design a Custom BoardMicrochip CryptoAuthentication IC providing secure symmetric authentication via SHA-256 hashing and HMAC with protected hardware key storage. Features 256-bit key length, 4.5KB EEPROM, unique 72-bit serial number, and I2C/single-wire interface. Operates at 2.0-5.5V with <150nA sleep current, ideal for anti-cloning, secure boot, and message authentication applications.
SOT-23's tiny 0.95mm pin pitch and compact form factor make hand-soldering tedious and prone to bridging errors. A breakout board breaks out the three pins to standard 0.1" spacing for breadboard prototyping, eliminating the need for specialized soldering equipment and enabling fast circuit iteration with transistors, diodes, and small-signal components.
