Product details
Overview
MF1S5030DA3,118 from NXP Semiconductors is a contactless smart card IC compliant with ISO/IEC 14443 Type A, featuring 1 kB EEPROM organized in 16 sectors, 13.56 MHz operating frequency, and mutual three-pass authentication using CRYPTO1. It delivers typical ticketing transactions in under 100 ms and supports public transport fare collection systems.
For engineers reviewing the MF1S5030DA3,118 datasheet, MF1S5030DA3,118 pinout, MF1S5030DA3,118 application, or MF1S5030DA3,118 equivalent, key selection considerations include sector-based key hierarchy, 16-bit CRC data integrity, NUID-based anti-collision, value block support for electronic purse functions, and MOA2 module packaging for embedded card manufacturing.
Technical Context
The MF1S5030DA3,118 integrates an RF interface compliant with ISO/IEC 14443A Type A, including modulator/demodulator, rectifier, clock regenerator, and voltage regulator - enabling passive operation powered solely by reader field. Its digital control unit implements anti-collision via UID-based sequential selection and executes CRYPTO1-based mutual authentication before memory access.
Memory operations are strictly gated by sector-level access conditions stored in trailer blocks, supporting read/write, increment/decrement, restore, and transfer on value-formatted blocks. All communication uses 106 kbit/s data rate with parity bits, bit coding, and 16-bit CRC per block to ensure link reliability without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Interface Standard | ISO/IEC 14443 Type A - defines frame structure, anti-collision, and activation sequence for interoperability with certified readers |
| Operating Frequency | 13.56 MHz - enables global HF RFID compatibility and antenna design per ISO/IEC 10373-6 |
| Memory Capacity | 1 kB EEPROM (1024 × 8 bits) - organized as 16 sectors × 4 blocks × 16 bytes, with sector trailers holding keys and access bits |
| Data Rate | 106 kbit/s - fixed subcarrier-modulated rate for deterministic transaction timing and reader coexistence |
| Authentication | Mutual three-pass CRYPTO1 - prevents replay and man-in-the-middle attacks during sector access |
| Write Endurance | 100,000 cycles - ensures longevity in high-frequency transit tap-in/tap-out applications |
| Data Retention | 10 years - guarantees stored fare balances and access credentials remain valid over product lifetime |
Pinout & Package

| LB | Antenna coil terminal B | Direct connection point for opposite end of antenna coil; completes RF energy harvesting and bidirectional data coupling path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Non-Unique ID (NUID) | Factory-programmed 4-byte identifier enabling rapid anti-collision in multi-card fields without requiring unique serialization infrastructure |
| Value Block Format | Triple-stored signed 4-byte value + 1-byte address - enables tamper-resilient electronic purse operations with built-in backup management |
| Sector-Level Key Hierarchy | Two independent keys (A/B) per sector with configurable access bits - supports multi-application personalization (e.g., transit + access + loyalty on same card) |
| Transaction Speed | <100 ms full ticketing cycle - includes anti-collision, select, authentication, and balance update - meets urban transit throughput requirements |
| Passive Power Harvesting | No battery or external power required - energy and clock derived entirely from 13.56 MHz reader field via LA/LB terminals |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar contactless smart card IC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MF1S5030DA4,118 | MOA4 module (SOT500-2); identical electrical specs and memory map but larger footprint and different tape carrier | Requires PCB layout revision due to 4-terminal antenna pad spacing and tape width change | Select when higher mechanical robustness or alternate antenna geometry is needed; not drop-in compatible with MF1S5030DA3,118 |
| MF1S5030DA6,118 | MOB6 module (SOT500-3); same RF performance but uses different leadframe construction and thermal profile | Valid for industrial-grade card lamination processes requiring enhanced thermal cycling resistance | Choose for extended temperature operation or harsh environment deployment; pinout matches but mechanical mounting differs |
Compared with MF1S5030DA3,118, the DA4 variant offers greater antenna pad separation for improved impedance tuning, while the DA6 variant provides superior thermal stability for high-volume card personalization - both retain identical security architecture and command set but require mechanical redesign for substitution.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the MF1S5030DA3,118 in a contactless smart card system?
The MF1S5030DA3,118 serves as the secure contactless smart card IC in ISO/IEC 14443A-compliant systems, providing 1 kB of protected EEPROM memory, CRYPTO1-based mutual authentication, and value-block arithmetic for applications like transit ticketing. Its core function is to store and cryptographically protect credentials and balances while enabling sub-100 ms transactions without external power.
Does the MF1S5030DA3,118 require external components for RF operation?
No, the MF1S5030DA3,118 requires no external components for RF operation. It integrates a complete ISO/IEC 14443A Type A RF interface - including rectifier, voltage regulator, clock regenerator, and modulator/demodulator - and connects directly to an antenna coil via LA and LB terminals. Antenna design must comply with ISO/IEC 10373-6, but no discrete capacitors, resistors, or ICs are needed.
How does the anti-collision feature work on the MF1S5030DA3,118?
The MF1S5030DA3,118 implements ISO/IEC 14443A anti-collision using its factory-programmed 4-byte Non-Unique IDentifier (NUID). When multiple cards are in the reader field, the reader executes a bitwise selection procedure to isolate and address each card individually. The MF1S5030DA3,118 responds only when its NUID matches the current selection mask, preventing data collisions during initialization.
What memory organization does the MF1S5030DA3,118 use, and how is security enforced?
The MF1S5030DA3,118 organizes its 1 kB EEPROM into 16 sectors, each containing four 16-byte blocks. Security is enforced per sector via a trailer block storing two secret keys (A/B) and access bits that define read/write/increment permissions for each block. Access requires prior CRYPTO1 mutual authentication with the correct key, and all memory operations are encrypted after successful authentication.
Is the MF1S5030DA3,118 pin-compatible with other MIFARE Classic 1K module variants like MF1S5030DA4,118?
No, the MF1S5030DA3,118 is not pin-compatible with MF1S5030DA4,118. While both share identical LA/LB RF terminal functionality and electrical behavior, they differ in physical package: MF1S5030DA3,118 uses MOA2 (SOT500-1) with specific pad pitch and tape width, whereas MF1S5030DA4,118 uses MOA4 (SOT500-2) with altered mechanical dimensions. Substitution requires PCB layout revision and antenna re-tuning.
