AT88SC118-SH-CN-T from Microchip Technology is an 8-SOIC CryptoCompanion host-side security IC for CryptoMemory and CryptoRF products. The CN-T ordering option is supplied on tape and reel with the manufacturer-defined 10 (Unlocked/Confidential) memory-locking configuration.
Technical details and the exact CN-T ordering option are checked against Microchip's AT88SC118 complete and summary data sheets.
The AT88SC118 CryptoCompanion device helps a host implement authentication and key-management functions for Atmel/Microchip CryptoMemory and CryptoRF systems. It securely stores host secrets, performs host-side cryptographic operations, and can verify host firmware digests. The host communicates with the IC over a two-wire serial interface.
Stores diversified host keys and passwords in nonvolatile protected memory.
Implements challenge generation, response verification and message authentication functions.
Includes a random-number generator, voltage and frequency monitors, and delay penalties.
The manufacturer's CN-T tape-and-reel ordering code specifies memory-locking code 10 (Unlocked/Confidential).
CryptoMemory/CryptoRF F2, SHA-1 and licensed 64-bit mutual-authentication functions as described by the data sheet.
Two-wire serial interface, with 5 V compatible interface pins under specified conditions.
Up to 16 diversified 64-bit host-key sets and eight sets of two 24-bit passwords.
8-lead 0.150-inch JEDEC SOIC; AT88SC118-SH-CN-T is the tape-and-reel order option.
Microchip identifies the AT88SC118-SH-CN-T ordering code as an 8S1, 8-lead, 0.150-inch-wide plastic gull-wing SOIC. The LCDChip canonical package label is 8-SOIC. Use the manufacturer's controlled 8S1 package drawing for land-pattern dimensions.

Security properties and endurance apply under the manufacturer's operating and provisioning conditions.
AT88SC118-SH-CM and AT88SC118-SH-CN are related ordering options, but CM uses a different memory-locking code and CN uses bulk delivery media. A change requires review of provisioning, key state, 8S1 package, two-wire timing, firmware commands and lifecycle status. No unconditional drop-in replacement is asserted.
AT88SC118 originated with Atmel and is documented by Microchip Technology. Microchip currently labels the product not recommended for new designs; verify lifecycle plans before using it in a new platform.
Host-side authentication of paired CryptoMemory or CryptoRF devices.
Control access to host credentials and application configuration.
Use supported digest verification within a larger secure-startup design.
Maintain products already designed around the AT88SC118 provisioning flow.
Confirm the exact CN code, factory locking state, date/lot traceability and package marking before secure personalization. Protect host secrets and production programming procedures; the IC alone does not establish system-level security.
The Microchip ordering table identifies CN as memory-locking code 10 (Unlocked/Confidential), versus code 00 (Unlocked) for CM.
No. It is a host-side CryptoCompanion device used with supported CryptoMemory and CryptoRF products.
SDA is pin 5 and SCL is pin 6 in the 8-lead SOIC package.
The complete manufacturer data sheet instructs connecting pins 3 and 7 to PCB ground.
Use the latest Microchip complete data sheet, summary ordering table and package drawing for design approval. Confirm CN personalization state and long-term supply strategy; Microchip lists AT88SC118 as not recommended for new designs.
