NXP Semiconductors MF3D2200DA4/00J

Overview

MF3D2200DA4/00J from NXP Semiconductors is a contactless multi-application smart card IC compliant with ISO/IEC 14443A, featuring 2 KB EEPROM, 17 pF input capacitance, Common Criteria EAL5+ security certification, and support for AES-128 and 3DES cryptographic engines. It serves as the secure core in transit ticketing cards, student IDs, and micro-payment systems where tamper-resistant file management and transaction integrity are critical.

For engineers reviewing the MF3D2200DA4/00J datasheet, MF3D2200DA4/00J pinout, MF3D2200DA4/00J application, or MF3D2200DA4/00J equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact memory and RF interface specifications, confirmed backward compatibility with MIFARE DESFire EV1/D40, real-world application mappings, and two validated alternative part numbers with documented functional differences.

Technical Context

The MF3D2200DA4/00J implements a dedicated ISO/IEC 14443-4 contactless interface with configurable FSCI supporting up to 128-byte frame size, operates at 13.56 MHz, and uses mutual three-pass authentication with hardware-accelerated AES-128 or 3DES. Its on-chip memory management unit (MMU) enforces strict application isolation and supports six file types including Transaction MAC files.

It integrates TRNG, voltage/rail/light/glitch sensors, and active shielding for side-channel attack resistance. The device supports optional Random ID generation and includes Proximity Check and Originality Check features to prevent relay attacks and verify genuine NXP silicon - all validated under Common Criteria EAL5+ for both hardware and software.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

MF3D2200DA4/00J is supplied in MOA4 plastic leadless module carrier package (SOT500-2), designed for embedding into smart cards or contactless modules. This surface-mount package contains no external pins - the IC interfaces exclusively via its integrated antenna coil connection points and requires no discrete pin assignment for end-user circuit design.

FAQ

What security certifications does MF3D2200DA4/00J hold?

The MF3D2200DA4/00J is certified to Common Criteria EAL5+ for both hardware and software components - the same assurance level required for banking cards and electronic passports. This certification validates its resistance to physical, fault injection, and side-channel attacks, and confirms secure boot, key management, and cryptographic operation integrity. All security claims for MF3D2200DA4/00J are derived directly from NXP's official Product Short Data Sheet Rev. 3.2.

Does MF3D2200DA4/00J support ISO/IEC 7816-4 commands?

Yes, MF3D2200DA4/00J fully supports ISO/IEC 7816-4 APDU structure and file system commands including SELECT FILE (INS A4), READ BINARY (B0), UPDATE BINARY (D6), READ RECORDS (B2), APPEND RECORD (E2), GET CHALLENGE (84), INTERNAL AUTHENTICATE (88), and EXTERNAL AUTHENTICATE (82). These enable interoperability with existing smart card infrastructure and simplify migration from legacy contact-based systems.

How does MF3D2200DA4/00J handle memory corruption during power loss?

MF3D2200DA4/00J implements a transaction-oriented automatic anti-tear mechanism that guarantees atomic updates across multiple files. When a power interruption occurs mid-transaction, either all related file changes commit successfully or none apply - preserving data consistency. This behavior is hardware-enforced and applies to all file types supporting backup, including Value, Linear Record, and Cyclic Record files.

Is MF3D2200DA4/00J backward compatible with older MIFARE DESFire generations?

Yes, MF3D2200DA4/00J operates in default delivery configuration as a MIFARE DESFire EV1 device, ensuring full functional backward compatibility with MF3ICD40 and MIFARE DESFire EV1 systems. New EV2 features like Transaction MAC and MIsmartApp require explicit activation via dedicated commands and do not interfere with legacy infrastructure operation.

What is the difference between MF3D2200DA4/00J and MF3D2200DA4/01?

The MF3D2200DA4/00J and MF3D2200DA4/01 share identical electrical, functional, and security specifications - including 2 KB EEPROM, 17 pF input capacitance, MOA4 package, and EAL5+ certification. The suffix "/00J" denotes a specific wafer lot or internal revision code used by NXP for traceability; it does not indicate a functional or parametric deviation from the /01 variant referenced in the official ordering table.
