Design a Custom BoardMicrochip CryptoAuthentication IC with hardware-based 256-bit key storage and SHA-256/HMAC capabilities. Features 4.5 kB EEPROM for up to 16 keys, unique 72-bit serial number, and integrated RNG. Supports I2C (1 MHz) and single-wire UART interfaces, operating from 2.0V to 5.5V. Ideal for secure boot, anti-cloning, and message authentication applications.
An 8-pin SOIC with 1.27mm pitch is too fine for breadboards and hand-soldering without a microscope. A breakout board routes these pins to standard 0.1" headers, enabling rapid prototyping and reliable connections for op-amps, transceivers, and small power MOSFETs without requiring reflow equipment.
