Maxim Integrated DS28CM00R-A00+T Silicon Serial Number IC

The DS28CM00R-A00+T from Maxim Integrated is a reliable and secure silicon-based serial number IC that provides a unique identity to hardware devices. This compact, high-quality integrated circuit is designed to offer a cost-effective solution for electronic equipment identification, which is essential for inventory control, warranty tracking, and protection against counterfeiting.

Featuring a factory-programmed 64-bit ROM ID that is unique to each chip, the DS28CM00R-A00+T ensures that no two devices are identical, thereby enabling a robust level of security for networked devices. The unique ID can be used as a key element in device authentication and can serve as a non-replicable identifier for system components within a larger network.

The DS28CM00R-A00+T operates over a wide voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V and is characterized for operation over the full industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for a diverse array of applications. Its small form factor, available in a 6-pin TSOC package, allows for easy integration into various hardware designs without taking up significant board space.

Communication with the DS28CM00R-A00+T is achieved through the I²C/SMBus serial interface, which is widely used and well-supported in most microcontrollers and processors. This feature simplifies the process of reading the unique ID during device initialization or for system-level security checks.

The DS28CM00R-A00+T is also designed with a high level of reliability in mind. It includes an internal error-checking feature that ensures the integrity of the stored 64-bit ID, giving system designers peace of mind that the identification process is both secure and error-free.

Overall, the DS28CM00R-A00+T from Maxim Integrated is an excellent choice for manufacturers and designers looking to incorporate a secure, unique identifier into their products. Whether it is for asset management, anti-counterfeiting measures, or device authentication, this silicon serial number IC delivers a simple, cost-effective solution.
