Product details
Overview
MF1PH4200DA4/00J from NXP Semiconductors is a 4 kB MIFARE Plus EV2 contactless smart card IC with Common Criteria EAL5+ security certification, AES-128 cryptographic authentication, ISO/IEC 14443-4 compliance, and 70 pF input capacitance for compact form factors such as wristbands and key fobs. It operates at 13.56 MHz and supports sector-wise security upgrades from SL1 to SL3.
For engineers reviewing the MF1PH4200DA4/00J datasheet, MF1PH4200DA4/00J pinout, MF1PH4200DA4/00J application, or MF1PH4200DA4/00J equivalent, key selection considerations include SL3 AES-only mode support, 7-byte UID, Transaction MAC capability, Random ID compliance for GDPR-aligned privacy, and MOA4 SOT500-2 package compatibility with antenna designs requiring 70 pF input capacitance.
Technical Context
The MF1PH4200DA4/00J implements a dual-layer security architecture supporting SL0 (personalization), SL1 (CRYPTO1 + optional AES), and SL3 (AES-128 mandatory) modes, with sector-by-sector Security Level switching and SL1SL3Mix mode enabling mixed-mode operation. Its memory comprises 40 sectors (32 × 4-block + 8 × 16-block), totaling 4 kB non-volatile storage organized in 16-byte blocks.
It integrates an on-chip TRNG, AES-128 engine, CRC-16/32, voltage/rail/light/glitch sensors, and active shielding. Communication uses ISO/IEC 14443-3 anti-collision and ISO/IEC 14443-4 T=CL protocol layers, with optional ISO/IEC 7816-4 APDU wrapping for virtual card selection via ISOSelect (INS A4h) and ISOExternalAuthenticate (INS 82h).
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar contactless secure authentication applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MF1PH4200DA8/00 | SOT500-4 package (MOA8); identical 4 kB memory, 70 pF, 7-byte UID, and SL3 capabilities. | Designed for larger-area antenna layouts requiring different mechanical footprint and tape pitch. | Select when board space or carrier tape specifications require MOA8 instead of MOA4. |
| MF1P4200DA4/00 | Same MOA4/SOT500-2 package but 17 pF input capacitance; otherwise identical memory, UID, and security features. | Optimized for standard smart card PCB antennas rather than compact wearables or fobs. | Choose for traditional ISO/IEC 7816-1/2 card formats where 17 pF matches reference antenna design. |
Compared with MF1PH4200DA4/00J, MF1PH4200DA8/00 offers identical electrical and security specs in a physically distinct MOA8 package, while MF1P4200DA4/00 delivers the same functionality with lower input capacitance-making it suitable for conventional card antennas but unsuitable for miniaturized form factors requiring 70 pF resonance tuning.

FAQ
What security certifications does MF1PH4200DA4/00J hold?
MF1PH4200DA4/00J is Common Criteria EAL5+ certified (AVA_VAN.5), confirming resistance against high-potential attackers - the same assurance level required for banking ICs and electronic passports. This certification covers its AES-128 implementation, memory protection mechanisms, and side-channel attack resilience, all verified under formal evaluation. The MF1PH4200DA4/00J meets ISO/IEC 14443-4 and ISO/IEC 7816-4 SL3 requirements for secure messaging and virtual card selection.
How does MF1PH4200DA4/00J support migration from MIFARE Classic systems?
MF1PH4200DA4/00J supports full backward compatibility with MIFARE Classic EV1 in SL1 mode, allowing existing readers to authenticate using CRYPTO1 while optionally enabling AES for enhanced security. Its sector-wise Security Level upgrade path lets operators incrementally switch individual sectors to SL3 without replacing infrastructure. The MF1PH4200DA4/00J also retains MIFARE Classic's memory map and command structure in SL1, minimizing middleware changes during transition.
What is the significance of the 70 pF input capacitance in MF1PH4200DA4/00J?
The 70 pF input capacitance of MF1PH4200DA4/00J is specifically tuned for compact antenna geometries used in wristbands, key fobs, and thin cards - unlike the 17 pF variant intended for standard ISO/IEC 7816-1/2 cards. This higher capacitance lowers the resonant frequency shift caused by proximity effects and mechanical bending, ensuring consistent 10 cm read range and reliable power harvesting in constrained form factors. It eliminates need for external matching components in miniaturized designs.
Can MF1PH4200DA4/00J generate cryptographically verifiable transaction records?
Yes, MF1PH4200DA4/00J supports Transaction Message Authentication (TMAC), which computes a cryptographic checksum over the complete transaction data - including value, block address, and command context - enabling third-party verification by clearing entities. Combined with the Transaction Timer, this ensures temporal integrity and prevents replay or man-in-the-middle manipulation. The MF1PH4200DA4/00J implements TMAC in both SL1 and SL3 modes using AES-derived keys, with hardware-accelerated computation to avoid software-side vulnerabilities.
Does MF1PH4200DA4/00J support privacy-enhancing features like Random ID?
Yes, MF1PH4200DA4/00J fully supports ISO/IEC 14443-3 Random ID for all UID types, allowing dynamic UID generation per transaction to prevent user tracking across readers. This feature complies with GDPR and other data protection regulations. When Random ID is enabled, the real 7-byte UID remains accessible only after ISOSelect and ISOExternalAuthenticate - ensuring privacy by default while preserving backend identity resolution when authorized. The MF1PH4200DA4/00J implements this at protocol layer without firmware overhead.
