Introduction

The Atmel AT88CK9000 secure personalization kit has been developed to securely personalize the Atmel

personalize 8-lead SOIC, 8-lead TSSOP, 8-pad UDFN, and 3-lead SOT23 package types. The 8-lead

SOIC kit has sockets that can accommodate two devices per socket making it capable of personalizing up

to 10 devices at a time. Safety and security has been added to ensure secure high-reliability programming.

The AT88CK9000 kit interfaces to the Atmel Crypto Evaluation Studio (ACES) software suite to provide

communication to a PC via a USB interface. This allows trusted users to program the board outside of the

manufacturing environment. Once programmed, the board becomes a standalone board. As a standalone

board, it only requires power, after which, will allow the programming of the ATSHA204 devices. In

addition, this board has an internal counter to keep track of how many devices were programmed, both in

total, as well as by session.
