Product Details

ATECC608A-SSHDA-T - ECC CryptoAuthentication Secure Element

ATECC608A-SSHDA-T from Microchip Technology is an I2C secure element with protected key storage, NIST P-256 elliptic-curve cryptography, SHA-256/HMAC and AES-128 functions in an 8-lead SOIC package.

ATECC608A is marked not recommended for new designs. Technical values were checked against Microchip's product page, data sheet and migration guidance.

Overview

ATECC608A provides hardware-isolated credentials and cryptographic operations for connected products. It supports ECDSA signing and verification, ECDH key agreement, SHA-256/HMAC, AES-128 including GCM, secure-boot workflows, counters and random-number generation.

Lifecycle note: This A revision is NRND. Microchip recommends newer ATECC608 revisions for new designs; migration must include configuration, provisioning and command-timing review.

Key Advantages

Hardware key isolation

Private keys can be generated and used without leaving protected storage.

Public-key acceleration

P-256 ECDSA and ECDH operations support authentication and session establishment.

Secure boot support

Cryptographic commands and protected storage help validate host firmware.

Broad supply range

The device operates from 2.0 V to 5.5 V with low sleep current.

Feature Summary

ECC

NIST P-256 ECDSA signing/verification and ECDH key agreement.

Symmetric crypto

SHA-256, HMAC and AES-128 including GCM operations.

Protected storage

Up to 16 slots for keys, certificates or application data.

Device services

Hardware RNG, monotonic counters and a factory unique 72-bit serial number.

Package & Footprint

The SSHDA-T option is an 8-lead SOIC with I2C interface and tape-and-reel supply. Microchip lists 4,000 units for this reel option.

Layout checks
  • Place supply decoupling close to VCC and GND.
  • Select I2C pull-ups for the actual bus voltage and capacitance.
  • Keep the serial bus away from high-current switching loops.
  • Verify SOIC orientation and pin 1 during assembly.

The package record and JPG are present in the LCDChip package library.

Pin Functions

Pin 4: GND

Replacement Considerations

ATECC608B-SSHDA-T is the documented form/fit/function migration path, but firmware timing and configuration differences must be reviewed. ATECC608C-SSHDA-T is the current revision to evaluate for new designs.

A programmed secure element is not replaced by part number alone. Preserve certificate chains, slot policies, lock bytes, I2C addressing, host libraries and provisioning custody.

Manufacturer Information

Microchip Technology supplies embedded control and hardware-security products. The ATECC608A remains documented but is NRND; follow Microchip migration guidance when selecting a successor.

Applications

IoT identity

Protects device private keys and client authentication credentials.

Secure boot

Supports validation of firmware before protected execution.

Accessory authentication

Authenticates peripherals, modules and replaceable components.

Session security

ECDH and AES capabilities support protected communication designs.

Quality & Authenticity

Verify the full SSHDA-T ordering code, revision marking and reel traceability. Confirm whether purchased devices are blank or pre-provisioned; certificate and key contents are part of the usable configuration.

FAQ

Is ATECC608A recommended for a new design?

No. Microchip marks it NRND; evaluate the latest compatible revision.

Does it expose private keys to the MCU?

Private keys can remain internal while the device performs signing or key-agreement commands.

Can ATECC608B be substituted without testing?

No. Review configuration compatibility, command timing, host software and provisioning.

What interface is used?

The HDA suffix identifies the I2C option, specified up to 1 MHz.

Engineering Notice

Complete migration and provisioning trials before locking zones or releasing production firmware. Validate wake timing, I2C electrical limits, certificate formats, secure-boot policy and backup custody against the exact device revision.
