Product details
Overview
AT88SC6416CRF-MVB1G from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a contactless 13.56 MHz CryptoRF EEPROM memory IC with 64 kilobits user memory, ISO/IEC 14443-2 & -3 Type B compliance, integrated 82 pF tuning capacitor, and hardware-based 64-bit mutual authentication. It serves as a secure, battery-free smart card IC in RFID-enabled access control systems.
For engineers reviewing the AT88SC6416CRF-MVB1G datasheet, AT88SC6416CRF-MVB1G pinout, AT88SC6416CRF-MVB1G application, or AT88SC6416CRF-MVB1G equivalent, key selection considerations include RF interface compliance (Type B only), zone-level access control, anti-tearing support, cryptographic checksum mode, and industrial temperature range (−25°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The AT88SC6416CRF-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 kbps half-duplex data exchange with 2-byte CRC_B error detection. It requires no external power source - energy is harvested from the reader's RF field.
Security operations are enforced via four key sets, eight 24-bit password sets, per-zone access rights, tamper sensors, and optional anti-tearing logic that writes first to a buffer zone before committing to final address. Authentication and encryption modes are stateful and persist until DESELECT, IDLE, or power loss.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RF Frequency | 13.56 MHz - Enables interoperability with standard ISO/IEC 14443-2 Type B readers and infrastructure. |
| User Memory | 64 kbit (16 × 512-byte zones) - Supports multi-application partitioning with independent security policies per zone. |
| Configuration Memory | 2 kbit - Stores AFI, anticollision response, keys, passwords, and zone access registers; secured by three OTP fuses. |
| Authentication | 64-bit Mutual Auth (ELVA licensed) - Provides strong session establishment with challenge-response handshake and replay protection. |

Pinout & Package
AT88SC6416CRF-MVB1G is supplied in an epoxy-glass RFID tag package (MVA1 variant: 8.6 mm × 18.1 mm, 0.38 mm thick), with two RF terminals (AC1 and AC2) for connection to an external coil antenna. No VDD/VSS pins - power is harvested wirelessly from the RF field.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AC1 | RF Antenna Terminal 1 | Connects to one end of external loop antenna; forms resonant LC tank with internal 82 pF capacitor. |
| AC2 | RF Antenna Terminal 2 | Connects to other end of external loop antenna; completes RF coupling path for power harvesting and bidirectional communication. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ISO/IEC 14443-2 & -3 Type B Compliance | Guarantees interoperability with certified Type B readers and enables seamless integration into existing contactless infrastructure. |
| Zone-Level Security Configuration | Allows independent read/write passwords, crypto keys, and access rights per 512-byte user zone - essential for multi-tenant credential systems. |
| Hardware Anti-Tearing Logic | Prevents data corruption during unexpected RF field dropout by buffering writes and auto-recovering on next power-up. |
| Transport Password Protection | Secure code $70 BA 2E required to access configuration memory - prevents unauthorized personalization or security reconfiguration. |
| Type A Signal Tolerance | Remains functional and non-latching when exposed to Type A modulation - supports coexistence in mixed-protocol RF environments. |

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 Kbyte memory; AES-128 crypto; no built-in tuning capacitor. | Optimized for NFC smartphone interaction; lacks Type B interoperability and larger memory capacity. | Select when NFC peer-to-peer or smartphone-initiated transactions dominate; avoid for legacy Type B reader ecosystems. |
| Infineon SLE 78 CLY 60P | 13.56 MHz Type A/B dual-mode; 64 KB EEPROM; CC EAL5+ certified; requires external tuning cap. | Targeted at high-assurance government IDs; higher certification level but greater design complexity. | Select when Common Criteria EAL5+ validation is mandatory; accept added BOM and layout effort for external capacitor. |
Compared with NTAG 424 DNA and SLE 78 CLY 60P, AT88SC6416CRF-MVB1G delivers native Type B compatibility, integrated 82 pF capacitor, and streamlined personalization workflow - making it optimal for industrial access systems where reader infrastructure is fixed and antenna design simplicity is critical.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for AT88SC6416CRF-MVB1G?
The AT88SC6416CRF-MVB1G is rated for −25°C to +85°C operation, qualifying it for industrial environments such as outdoor access gates, transit validators, and uncontrolled indoor facilities. This range is confirmed in the official Atmel-5006GS datasheet summary and applies specifically to the MVB1G variant (MVA1 package). Performance remains stable across this full span without derating.
Does AT88SC6416CRF-MVB1G support ISO/IEC 14443 Type A readers?
No - AT88SC6416CRF-MVB1G is compliant only with ISO/IEC 14443-2 and -3 Type B. It tolerates exposure to Type A signals without latching or damage but does not respond to or communicate with Type A readers. Its RF interface is designed exclusively for Type B modulation and anticollision protocols.
How is power supplied to AT88SC6416CRF-MVB1G?
AT88SC6416CRF-MVB1G is powered entirely by energy harvested from the 13.56 MHz RF field of a compatible reader - no battery or external power source is required. The internal rectifier, regulator, and voltage clamp circuitry convert induced AC from the antenna (connected to AC1/AC2) into stable DC for internal logic and EEPROM operations.
What security features differentiate AT88SC6416CRF-MVB1G from basic RFID tags?
AT88SC6416CRF-MVB1G includes hardware-enforced 64-bit mutual authentication (under ELVA license), four crypto key sets, eight 24-bit password sets, per-zone access rights, anti-tearing logic, tamper sensors, and cryptographic checksum (MAC) verification - far exceeding the read-only or simple password protection found in standard RFID tags.
Is an external tuning capacitor required for AT88SC6416CRF-MVB1G?
No - AT88SC6416CRF-MVB1G integrates an 82 pF ±10% tuning capacitor between AC1 and AC2. This eliminates the need for an external capacitor, simplifying antenna matching and reducing bill-of-materials count. External components are limited to the coil antenna itself.
