Microchip Technology ATSHA204-TH-DA-T is a SHA-256-based hardware authentication device with protected key storage. This exact ordering option uses I2C and an 8-lead TSSOP package with a nominal 4.40 mm body width, supplied on tape and reel.
The manufacturer marks the original ATSHA204 not recommended for new designs and identifies ATSHA204A as its successor. Verify lifecycle and provisioning requirements before design-in.
ATSHA204-TH-DA-T supports host and client authentication using SHA-256 message authentication functions and protected on-chip keys. It can help a system validate accessories, firmware, or network nodes without exposing a secret key directly on the host interface. The TH-DA-T ordering suffix denotes the 8-lead TSSOP I2C tape-and-reel option; the TH-CZ-T ordering option uses single-wire signaling instead.
On-chip key storage and configurable access policies help reduce exposure of authentication keys.
MAC and HMAC functions support challenge-response designs for validating connected devices.
The exact DA ordering variant uses SDA and SCL and supports an I2C interface specified up to 1 MHz.
The manufacturer lists sleep current below 150 nA for the device family.
4.5 Kb EEPROM accommodates keys and data, with storage for up to 16 keys.
A unique 72-bit serial number can be used within authenticated identity protocols.
512 OTP bits are provided for fixed information, subject to the configured access rules.
An internal random-number generator supports cryptographic challenge workflows.
The manufacturer's exact ordering table lists ATSHA204-TH-DA-T as an 8-lead TSSOP. Its TSSOP drawing specifies a 4.40 mm nominal body width, matching the original catalog description 8-TSSOP (0.173", 4.40mm Width). The normalized package-register name is 8-TSSOP.

Operating conditions must not be confused with absolute-maximum ratings. Check the latest controlled datasheet and errata for final limits.
The manufacturer names ATSHA204A as the successor family. Select its exact 8-lead TSSOP I2C ordering option only after confirming the current manufacturer order code, key personalization, configuration, firmware commands, electrical limits, package drawing, and availability. Do not treat the family relationship as unconditional pin- or software-level interchangeability.
ATSHA204-TH-CZ-T is a single-wire option and is not an interface-equivalent replacement for the I2C DA variant. No LCDChip internal product link is asserted without an exact production-API match.
ATSHA204 originated in Atmel's CryptoAuthentication family and is documented by Microchip Technology. The original manufacturer datasheet marks ATSHA204 not recommended for new designs and points to ATSHA204A. Check current lifecycle information when planning a new product.
Challenge-response checks can help identify authorized replaceable modules or consumables.
Use hardware-backed authentication as one element of a secure-boot design.
Store device credentials in the IC rather than exposing them in general-purpose host memory.
Verify a device identity before permitting sensitive control operations.
Verify the exact order code through procurement and traceability records. The manufacturer's datasheet notes that the order code is not printed on the package, so lot markings alone should not be used to identify this variant. System authenticity depends on correct device provisioning and host-side verification.
Yes. The manufacturer's ordering table assigns I2C to ATSHA204-TH-DA-T; the TH-CZ-T option uses single-wire signaling.
In the 8-lead TSSOP top-view pinout, SDA is pin 5 and SCL is pin 6.
No. Review the exact ordering code, personalization, host firmware, electrical limits, and package before substitution.
Confirm the manufacturer datasheet and errata, especially I/O voltage limits, before PCB and security-configuration release. The production package illustration is currently unavailable. This page does not state real-time inventory or pricing.
