Product details
Microchip ATSHA204A-MAHDA-T - CryptoAuthentication Secure Element
The {mpn} is a Microchip CryptoAuthentication secure element: a dedicated SHA-256 authentication IC with 4.5 kb of EEPROM arranged in 16 slots, a hardware SHA-256 accelerator and a challenge-response protocol engine. Offloading key storage and authentication maths into tamper-resistant silicon lets an MCU verify consumables, accessories and board-to-board identity without ever exposing the secret in firmware. Package/interface: I2C interface, 8-pad UDFN (2 × 3 mm).
Key Features
- Hardware SHA-256 with challenge-response authentication protocol
- 4.5 kb EEPROM: 16 configurable key/storage slots with individual usage policies
- Interface per variant: I2C (up to 1 MHz) or single-wire SWI
- 2.0–5.5 V supply; < 150 nA sleep current for battery devices
- Die-level tamper protections: active metal shield, glitch and temperature sensors
- Host-side support via Microchip CryptoAuthLib for major MCUs

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: SHA204A vs ECC-based ATECC608B?
A: SHA204A does symmetric SHA-256 challenge-response - simplest and cheapest for authenticating paired items. ATECC608B adds asymmetric ECDSA/ECDH with a private key that never leaves the chip; choose it for public-key PKI or TLS.
Q: Does the host need crypto code?
A: No - Microchip supplies host-side libraries (CryptoAuthLib); the host stores a shared secret and issues challenges over the bus.
Q: Which interface does my package have?
A: I2C and single-wire variants carry different package suffixes; the ordering-code matrix is in the ATSHA204A data sheet, and the variant is listed above.
