Product details
Overview
MF2DLH1000DA8/02J from NXP Semiconductors is a contactless application IC implementing the MIFARE DESFire Light platform for secure authentication in single-entity managed systems. It delivers 640 bytes of ISO/IEC 7816-4 compliant file-based memory, AES-128 security with five customer-defined keys, and 50 pF input capacitance optimized for small-form-factor devices such as wristbands and key fobs. It supports up to 10 cm read range and is deployed in transport ticketing and access management.
For engineers reviewing the MF2DLH1000DA8/02J datasheet, MF2DLH1000DA8/02J pinout, MF2DLH1000DA8/02J application, or MF2DLH1000DA8/02J equivalent, key selection considerations include its 50 pF antenna interface for compact designs, TMAC-enabled transaction integrity, LRP-wrapped AES for side-channel resistance, and functional compatibility with MIFARE DESFire EV2 for multi-application integration.
Technical Context
The MF2DLH1000DA8/02J implements a fully ISO/IEC 14443-2/3/4 Type A compliant RF interface with support for 106–848 kbit/s data rates and double-size (7-byte) UID or optional Random ID (4-byte). Its analog front-end includes a rectifier, band-gap reference, and resonance capacitor interface tuned for 13.56 MHz operation with 50 pF input capacitance.
Digital architecture integrates an 8-bit CPU, AES-128 co-processor, CRC engine, TRNG, and memory management unit (MMU), enabling secure messaging modes-Plain, CMAC-protected, or Full Enciphered-and transaction-atomic operations across six pre-configured files including Value, Cyclic Record, and Transaction MAC files.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar contactless secure authentication applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MF2DL1000DA8/02 | Same die, but 17 pF input capacitance - requires larger antenna area or higher Q-factor tuning. | Better suited for standard smart card formats (ID-1) where antenna size is not constrained. | Select MF2DL1000DA8/02 when designing for ISO/IEC 7816-1/2-compliant card bodies with conventional antenna layouts. |
| MF2DLH1001DUD/02 | Same 50 pF input capacitance, but delivered on 8-inch wafer (sawn, 120 μm thickness) - no module carrier; requires custom flip-chip assembly. | Targeted at ultra-thin embedded modules (e.g., wearables, IoT tags) where MOA8 footprint is prohibitive. | Choose MF2DLH1001DUD/02 only for high-volume, wafer-level packaging with in-house antenna integration capability. |
Compared with MF2DLH1000DA8/02J, MF2DL1000DA8/02 offers identical functionality but demands antenna redesign for 17 pF matching, while MF2DLH1001DUD/02 removes the MOA8 carrier to reduce thickness at the cost of assembly complexity - making MF2DLH1000DA8/02J optimal for rapid prototyping and small-form-factor OEM modules.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the MF2DLH1000DA8/02J in a contactless system?
The MF2DLH1000DA8/02J serves as a secure contactless application IC implementing the MIFARE DESFire Light platform. It performs mutual authentication, manages encrypted file-based data storage (640 bytes), and executes atomic transactions for value and record operations. Its role is to act as a trusted credential and data vault in systems like transit cards and access badges - all while operating passively via 13.56 MHz RF coupling without an internal power source.
How does the 50 pF input capacitance of the MF2DLH1000DA8/02J affect antenna design?
The 50 pF input capacitance of the MF2DLH1000DA8/02J allows direct integration into compact antennas used in wristbands, key fobs, and thin cards without requiring external matching capacitors. This reduces PCB or substrate area and simplifies tuning versus 17 pF variants like MF2DL1000DA8/02, which demand larger loop inductance or added capacitance to achieve resonance - making MF2DLH1000DA8/02J ideal for space-constrained designs.
Does the MF2DLH1000DA8/02J support NFC Forum Type 4 Tag operation?
Yes, the MF2DLH1000DA8/02J supports NFC Forum Type 4 Tag operation through ISO/IEC 7816-4 compliance, configurable AID/FID, and ATS parameters aligned with NFC Digital Protocol. Users can personalize the DF name and file identifiers to match existing Type 4 Tag data models, enabling features like business card sharing or peer-to-peer pairing - provided the host reader supports ISO/IEC 7816-4 wrapped commands.
What security certifications apply to the MF2DLH1000DA8/02J?
The MF2DLH1000DA8/02J holds Common Criteria EAL4 certification for both hardware and software components. It implements AES-128 encryption with five customer-defined keys, optional LRP-wrapped AES for side-channel resistance, 3-pass mutual authentication, and configurable secure messaging modes (Plain, CMAC, Full Enciphered). These features are validated under NIST SP 800-38A/B and meet requirements for secure credentialing in regulated environments.
Can the MF2DLH1000DA8/02J be used alongside MIFARE DESFire EV2 in the same system?
Yes, the MF2DLH1000DA8/02J is functionally compatible with MIFARE DESFire EV2. Applications developed for MF2DLH1000DA8/02J can be integrated into multi-application EV2 platforms with minimal system impact - leveraging shared command sets, file system structure, and secure messaging protocols. This enables phased migration paths and hybrid deployments where legacy single-application MF2DLH1000DA8/02J cards coexist with newer EV2-based multi-tenant solutions.
