Maxim Integrated DS2401AZ-001-272+T Silicon Serial Number

The DS2401AZ-001-272+T from Maxim Integrated is a compact, high-quality silicon serial number IC that provides a unique identity to your hardware. This device is part of the renowned Maxim 1-Wire® family and is designed to provide a cost-effective method for secure identification and authentication of components in a system.

Each DS2401AZ-001-272+T chip contains a globally unique 64-bit serial number, which is factory-lasered into the chip during its manufacturing process. This ensures that no two chips share the same number, providing a reliable and unclonable identity for each piece of hardware it is attached to. The uniqueness of each serial number is a key feature for applications that require strict access control, asset management, and supply chain integrity.

The device operates over a wide voltage range of 2.8V to 6.0V and is encapsulated in a compact TO-92 package, making it suitable for various applications, including embedded systems, consumer electronics, and industrial equipment. The TO-92 package is known for its ease of handling and soldering, which simplifies the integration process for manufacturers.

With its 1-Wire interface, the DS2401AZ-001-272+T allows for simple and low-cost communication. Only a single data line, plus ground, is required for communication with the host controller, minimizing the wiring complexity and allowing for easy integration into existing designs. This interface also enables the device to derive power directly from the data line ("parasite power"), eliminating the need for an external power supply and further reducing the overall system cost.

In summary, Maxim Integrated's DS2401AZ-001-272+T is a versatile and secure solution for providing a unique identity to electronic devices. Its robust construction, global uniqueness, and easy-to-use 1-Wire interface make it an excellent choice for a wide range of applications in need of hardware identification and authentication.
