™
Maxim’s patented ChipDNA feature, a physically unclon-
able technology (PUF) to provide a cost-effective solution
with the ultimate protection against security attacks. The
ChipDNA implementation utilizes the random variation of
semiconductor device characteristics that naturally occur
during wafer fabrication. The ChipDNA circuit generates a
unique output value that is repeatable over time, tempera-
ture, and operating voltage. Attempts to probe or observe
ChipDNA operation modifies the underlying circuit char-
acteristics thus preventing discovery of the unique value
used by the chip cryptographic functions. The DS2477 uti-
lizes the ChipDNA output as key content to cryptograph-
ically secure all device-stored data. With ChipDNA ca-
pability, the device provides a core set of cryptographic
tools derived from integrated blocks including a SHA-3 en-
gine, a FIPS/NIST compliant true random number gen-
erator (TRNG), 2Kb of secured EEPROM, and a unique
64-bit ROM identification number (ROM ID). The unique
ROM ID is used as a fundamental input parameter for
cryptographic operations and serves as an electronic se-
rial number within the application. The DS2477 provides
the SHA-3 and memory functionality required by a host
system to communicate with and operate a 1-Wire SHA-3
slave. In addition, it performs protocol conversion between

• I C Communication, up to 1MHz
For 1-Wire line driving, internal user-adjustable timers re-
lieve the system host processor from generating time-criti-
cal 1-Wire waveforms, supporting both standard and over-
drive 1-Wire communication speeds. The 1-Wire line can
be powered down under software control. Strong pullup
features support 1-Wire power delivery for commands that
require higher current consumption.
• Operating Range: 3.3V ±10%, -40°C to +85°C
