The DS28C36Q+T is a highly secure DeepCover® Secure Authenticator developed by Analog Devices. Featuring integrated ECC-P256, ECDSA, and SHA-256 cryptographic engines, the device provides robust hardware-based authentication, secure key storage, and anti-counterfeiting protection. Designed in a compact 6-TDFN (3mm × 3mm) package, the DS28C36Q+T is ideal for peripheral authentication, secure boot implementation, and embedded systems requiring a hardware root-of-trust.
The DS28C36Q+T combines asymmetric and symmetric cryptographic functions into a single authentication IC. The device integrates an ECC-P256 compute engine, SHA-256 accelerator, true random number generator (TRNG), secure EEPROM, configurable GPIO pins, and a factory-programmed 64-bit unique ROM ID. These security resources help designers establish trusted authentication mechanisms while reducing host MCU processing requirements.
