Product details
Overview
AT88SC0808CRF-MVB1G from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a contactless 13.56MHz CryptoRF EEPROM memory IC with 8 kilobits of user memory, ISO/IEC 14443-2 & -3 Type B compliance, integrated 82pF tuning capacitor, and hardware-based 64-bit mutual authentication under ELVA license. It serves as a secure, battery-free smart card IC for RF identification and encrypted data storage in access control systems.
For engineers reviewing the AT88SC0808CRF-MVB1G datasheet, AT88SC0808CRF-MVB1G pinout, AT88SC0808CRF-MVB1G application, or AT88SC0808CRF-MVB1G equivalent, key selection criteria include RF interface compliance (Type B only), zone-level password/key access control, anti-tearing recovery, tamper sensing, and 100,000 write cycle endurance - all verified in the official Atmel-5027GS summary datasheet.
Technical Context
The AT88SC0808CRF-MVB1G implements a dedicated RF interface compliant exclusively with ISO/IEC 14443-2:2001 and -3:2001 Type B signaling, including Slot-MARKER anticollision protocol and 106 Kbit/s half-duplex communication with 2-byte CRC_B error detection. It requires no external power source, drawing energy from the reader's RF field via integrated rectifier and regulator circuitry.
Security operations are enforced through four independent key sets, eight 24-bit password sets, per-zone access rights, and three programmable security fuses (module manufacturer/card manufacturer/card issuer). Authentication and encryption modes are stateful and persist until power loss, DESELECT, or IDLE command - not automatically reset after each transaction.

Pinout & Package
AT88SC0808CRF-MVB1G is supplied in an epoxy-glass RFID tag package measuring 8.6 mm × 18.1 mm (MVA1 form factor), with two terminals: AC1 and AC2. These terminals connect directly to the external coil antenna and serve as the sole electrical interface - no VDD, VSS, or digital I/O pins are present. The device draws power and communicates entirely through the RF field.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AC1 | Antenna Coil Terminal 1 | Connects to one end of external planar coil; forms resonant LC tank with internal 82pF capacitor. |
| AC2 | Antenna Coil Terminal 2 | Connects to opposite end of external coil; completes RF coupling path for power harvesting and bidirectional data exchange. |
