Product details
Overview
AT88SC6416CRF-MR2 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a contactless 13.56 MHz secure EEPROM IC compliant with ISO/IEC 14443-2 and -3 Type B standards, featuring 64 kilobits (8 KB) of user memory organized as sixteen 512-byte zones, integrated 82 pF tuning capacitor, and 256-byte configuration memory for cryptographic key and access control management. It serves as a tamper-resistant, self-powered RF smart card IC in secure identification systems.
For engineers reviewing the AT88SC6416CRF-MR2 datasheet, AT88SC6416CRF-MR2 pinout, AT88SC6416CRF-MR2 application, or AT88SC6416CRF-MR2 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact memory architecture, authenticated communication security options, anti-tearing behavior, and real-world deployment constraints - all grounded in the official CryptoRF datasheet revision 012014.
Technical Context
The AT88SC6416CRF-MR2 implements a dedicated ISO/IEC 14443-3 Type B anticollision protocol with Slot-MARKER support and tolerates Type A signaling for multi-protocol interoperability. Its RF interface extracts clock and power directly from the reader field, eliminating onboard power sources.
Security execution relies on four 64-bit key sets, eight 24-bit password sets, and zone-level access registers stored in 2-Kbit configuration memory. Authentication uses a licensed 64-bit Mutual Authentication Protocol (ELVA), while stream encryption applies 64-bit keys per zone with integrated MAC support in active state commands.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| User Memory Size | 64 kilobits (8 KB), configured as sixteen independent 512-byte zones for segmented secure data storage. |
| RF Interface | 13.56 MHz contactless interface fully compliant with ISO/IEC 14443-2:2001 and -3:2001 Type B standards. |
| Configuration Memory | 256 bytes (2 Kbits) EEPROM storing passwords, keys, AFI, anticollision response, and zone access control registers. |
| Write Endurance | 100,000 write cycles per memory zone - critical for high-frequency credential update applications. |
| Data Retention | 10 years at +25°C - ensures long-term validity of stored credentials without refresh. |
| Security Features | 64-bit mutual authentication, stream encryption, encrypted checksums, anti-tearing function, and tamper sensors. |
| Tuning Capacitor | Integrated 82 pF capacitor - reduces external component count and simplifies antenna matching design. |
Pinout & Package
This device has no physical pins: it is a bare-die RF IC designed for direct bonding to an antenna substrate (e.g., ISO/IEC 7816-1 ID-1 card format). Power and communication occur entirely via inductive coupling at 13.56 MHz; no external supply or signal connections are required.
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zone-based Access Control | Independent read/write permissions per 512-byte user zone enforced by configuration memory registers - enables granular credential partitioning (e.g., biometric template vs. access log). |
| Mutual Authentication Protocol | Licensed 64-bit ELVA protocol ensures bidirectional identity verification before memory access - prevents cloning and man-in-the-middle attacks. |
| Anti-Tearing Protection | Hardware-enforced atomic write sequence guarantees data integrity during unexpected field loss - eliminates partial writes in transit. |
| Type A Signal Tolerance | Operates reliably in mixed-reader environments where both ISO/IEC 14443 Type A and Type B readers coexist - avoids protocol collision in legacy infrastructure. |
| Self-Timed Write Cycle | No external timing control needed: internal logic manages EEPROM programming duration - simplifies host firmware integration. |
Applications
| Government ID Cards | Secure Transit Passes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar contactless secure memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NXP NTAG 424 DNA | 13.56 MHz Type A only; 2 KB user memory; AES-128 crypto engine; no integrated tuning capacitor. | Optimized for NFC smartphone interaction and cloud-linked authentication; lacks Type B compatibility and larger memory zones. | Select when smartphone tap-to-authenticate UX is primary and ISO/IEC 14443-3 Type B infrastructure is absent. |
| Infineon SLE 78 CLP | 13.56 MHz Type B compliant; 64 KB user memory; supports Java Card OS; requires external tuning components. | Targeted at full smart card OS deployments with applet loading; higher cost and complexity than CryptoRF's fixed-function security model. | Select when programmable applet execution (e.g., PKI signing) is required beyond static secure storage. |
Compared with NXP NTAG 424 DNA and Infineon SLE 78 CLP, the AT88SC6416CRF-MR2 uniquely balances ISO/IEC 14443-3 Type B compliance, 64 KB segmented memory, integrated tuning capacitance, and hardware-enforced anti-tearing - making it optimal for high-volume, infrastructure-based secure credential systems where deterministic performance and reader interoperability are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the memory organization of the AT88SC6416CRF-MR2?
The AT88SC6416CRF-MR2 contains 64 kilobits (8 KB) of user EEPROM memory, divided into sixteen fixed-size zones of 512 bytes each. Each zone supports independent access control via configuration memory registers. Additionally, it includes 256 bytes (2 Kbits) of configuration memory for storing passwords, cryptographic keys, Application Family Identifier (AFI), and zone-specific security policies - all essential for implementing layered credential security in the AT88SC6416CRF-MR2.
Does the AT88SC6416CRF-MR2 require an external tuning capacitor?
No, the AT88SC6416CRF-MR2 integrates an 82 pF tuning capacitor internally. This eliminates the need for external capacitors in most antenna designs, reducing bill-of-materials cost and PCB footprint. Antenna matching is simplified to coil inductance adjustment only, and the device remains fully compliant with ISO/IEC 14443-2 Type B RF power transfer requirements - a key design advantage of the AT88SC6416CRF-MR2.
How does anti-tearing work in the AT88SC6416CRF-MR2?
The AT88SC6416CRF-MR2 implements hardware-enforced anti-tearing using dual-page buffering and atomic commit logic. During a write operation, data is staged in a shadow page; only upon successful CRC validation and power stability confirmation is it committed to main memory. If RF field loss occurs mid-write, the shadow page is discarded and main memory remains unaltered - guaranteeing data consistency without software intervention in the AT88SC6416CRF-MR2.
Is the AT88SC6416CRF-MR2 compatible with ISO/IEC 14443-3 Type A readers?
The AT88SC6416CRF-MR2 is fully compliant with ISO/IEC 14443-3 Type B only. However, its RF front-end is tolerant of Type A signaling waveforms, enabling reliable operation in mixed-reader environments where Type A and Type B readers coexist - though native Type A command sets are not supported. This tolerance is explicitly documented for interoperability in legacy infrastructure deployments of the AT88SC6416CRF-MR2.
What authentication protocols does the AT88SC6416CRF-MR2 support?
The AT88SC6416CRF-MR2 supports a licensed 64-bit Mutual Authentication Protocol (under ELVA), four configurable key sets for encryption and authentication, and eight 24-bit password sets with attempt counters. Authentication is enforced per zone and triggered by the Verify Crypto ($c8) and Check Password ($cC) commands - all implemented in hardware to prevent side-channel leakage in the AT88SC6416CRF-MR2.
