Hot-selling and scarce MAX66242ETB-A+T Authentication Chip 10-TDFN spot stock

Product Descriptions

DeepCover® embedded security solutions cloak sensitive data under multiple layers of advanced physical security to provide the most secure key storage possible. 

The DeepCover Secure Authenticator (MAX66242) is a transponder IC that combines an ISO/IEC 15693 and ISO18000-3 Mode 1-compatible RF front-end, an I2 C frontend, a FIPS 180-based SHA-256 engine and 4096 bits of user EEPROM in a single chip.A bidirectional security model enforces two-way authentication between a host system and the MAX66242 . Each device has its own guaranteed unique 64-bit ROM ID that is factory programmed into the chip.This ROM ID is used as a fundamental input parameter for cryptographic operations and serves as an electronic serial number within the application.

In addition to the RF interface, the MAX66242 also has anI2 C interface,which can operate as a slave or master port. When acting as a master,the MAX66242 can gather information from a connected sensor or peripheral device and relay its data via the RF port. When acting as a slave, the device can serve as an intermediary between a connected host and an RF reader. The MAX66242 can harvest energy from an active RF field. The configurable supply output can deliver up to 5mA given adequate field strength.
