Overview

The DS28E15P+T is a 512-bit DeepCover Secure Memory device that combines 1-Wire communication with a SHA-256 based hardware crypto-engine. It allows for secure authentication and nonvolatile storage over a single-contact interface, significantly reducing pin count requirements for host microcontrollers.

Why Choose This Part

It features a hardware-implemented SHA-256 Secure Hash Algorithm which provides a high degree of protection against cloning. The 1-Wire interface simplifies system design by using only one data line and a ground return for both power and bidirectional communication.

Applications

Peripheral Authentication
Verifying the authenticity of medical sensors, printer cartridges, or cable assemblies to prevent counterfeit usage.
Secure Storage
Protecting sensitive configuration data or calibration constants from unauthorized tampering.
License Management
Implementing usage-based billing or feature-enablement schemes in embedded systems.

Getting Started

Evaluation can be performed using the DS2465 as a master-side coprocessor to handle the SHA-256 computations. Use the DS9481R-300# USB-to-1-Wire adapter for PC-based development and rapid prototyping with the DS28E15 evaluation software.
