Product details
Overview
MF3D4300DA8/00 from NXP Semiconductors is a contactless multi-application smart card IC compliant with ISO/IEC 14443A, featuring 4 kB non-volatile memory, 17 pF input capacitance, Common Criteria EAL5+ security certification, and hardware AES-128/3DES cryptographic engines. It serves as the secure core of transit cards, e-ID documents, and micro-payment systems requiring high integrity, backward compatibility, and delegated application management.
For engineers reviewing the MF3D4300DA8/00 datasheet, MF3D4300DA8/00 pinout, MF3D4300DA8/00 application, or MF3D4300DA8/00 equivalent, key selection considerations include its MOA8 package with SOT500-4 footprint, support for Transaction MAC and Virtual Card Architecture, Proximity Check against relay attacks, and MIsmartApp-enabled third-party application deployment via NXP AppXplore cloud service.
Technical Context
The MF3D4300DA8/00 implements a dedicated ISO/IEC 14443-4 RF interface with configurable FSCI up to 256 bytes, supporting data rates from 106 kbit/s to 848 kbit/s and operating distance up to 100 mm. Its on-chip analog front-end includes rectifier, modulator, demodulator, voltage regulator, and multiple hardware sensors (glitch, light, temperature, rail) for tamper resistance.
It executes a real-time OS with MMU-managed memory mapping, enabling independent application containers-each with up to 32 files across six types (Standard Data, Backup Data, Value, Linear/Cyclic Record, Transaction MAC)-and supports mutual three-pass authentication, secure dynamic messaging (SDM), and optional Random ID for privacy protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory capacity | 4 kB NV memory - sufficient for ≥10 full-service applications (e.g., transport + loyalty + access) with file-level backup and transaction integrity. |
| Input capacitance | 17 pF - optimized for standard antenna designs in ISO/IEC 14443A-compliant cards without need for external tuning compensation. |
| Cryptographic engines | Hardware AES-128 and 3DES (56/112/168-bit keys) - enables FIPS 140-2 Level 3–equivalent secure channel establishment and encrypted data transfer. |
| Security certification | Common Criteria EAL5+ (HW & SW) - validated assurance level matching banking cards and e-passports for high-trust deployments. |
| Data retention | 25 years at 25 °C - ensures long-term reliability for infrastructure-grade smart cards deployed in public transport or national ID programs. |
| Write endurance | 1,000,000 cycles typical - supports daily top-ups, balance updates, and audit logging over 10+ years of field operation. |
| RF data rate | Up to 848 kbit/s - reduces transaction time to <150 ms for complex multi-file operations (e.g., fare calculation + balance update + audit log). |
Pinout & Package
MF3D4300DA8/00 is supplied in MOA8 plastic leadless module carrier package (SOT500-4 footprint), designed for embedding into PVC or PET smart cards. It has no external pins - RF coupling occurs via integrated coil connection pads (LA/LB terminals) and requires no wire bonding or soldering in final card assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| LA / LB | RF antenna interface | Differential connection points for external coil; impedance-matched to 17 pF input capacitance for optimal 13.56 MHz energy harvesting and data modulation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Transaction MAC file type | Generates cryptographically signed transaction proofs per application using secret keys - enables backend verification of authenticity and integrity without exposing raw data. |
| Virtual Card Architecture (VCA) | Enables privacy-preserving card selection across multiple logical credentials (e.g., student ID + transit pass + library card) without revealing all AIDs during polling. |
| Proximity Check | Hardware-based anti-relay defense that measures RF field decay timing - prevents man-in-the-middle attacks by rejecting commands issued after legitimate reader field collapse. |
| MIsmartApp delegation | Allows third-party service providers to manage their own applications on shared cards using preloaded DAM keys - eliminates PICC owner dependency for app lifecycle control. |
| Secure Dynamic Messaging (SDM) | Mirrors authenticated NDEF text payloads (e.g., ticket validity, balance) directly from secure memory - enables NFC smartphone readers to display trusted service data without backend API calls. |
Applications
| Secure Public Transport Ticketing | Multi-Service Smart City Card |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Contactless tap-in/tap-out for metro, bus, and ferry services with real-time balance deduction and fare capping. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secure transaction engine managing value files, cyclic record logs, and Transaction MAC generation per ride.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secure value storage and transaction signing unit using Value files with backup and Transaction MAC for backend reconciliation. Use Value: Ensures tamper-proof balance integrity during power loss; SDM mirrors current balance as NDEF text for smartphone self-service top-up confirmation. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar contactless multi-application IC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MF3D4300DA4/00 | Same 4 kB memory and 17 pF capacitance but in MOA4 package (SOT500-2), smaller footprint and lower profile for thin-card or wearable form factors. | Limited to applications where reduced mechanical height (<0.4 mm) or tighter antenna layout constraints require smaller module size. | Select MF3D4300DA4/00 when card thickness or antenna miniaturization is critical; MF3D4300DA8/00 offers better thermal dissipation and handling robustness in high-volume card lamination. |
| MF3DH4300DA8/00 | Same MOA8 package and SOT500-4 footprint but with 70 pF input capacitance - optimized for small-form-factor antennas (e.g., wristbands, key fobs) requiring higher capacitive loading. | Suitable for compact or curved substrates where standard 17 pF tuning fails; trades off maximum read range for antenna size reduction. | Choose MF3DH4300DA8/00 only when antenna geometry restricts inductance below ~1.2 µH; otherwise MF3D4300DA8/00 delivers superior range and interoperability with legacy readers. |
Compared with MF3D4300DA4/00, MF3D4300DA8/00 provides enhanced mechanical stability in card laminators and wider antenna design margin; versus MF3DH4300DA8/00, it delivers longer operational range and broader reader compatibility at the cost of reduced suitability for ultra-compact form factors.

FAQ
What security certifications does MF3D4300DA8/00 hold?
MF3D4300DA8/00 holds Common Criteria EAL5+ certification for both hardware and software, validated to the same assurance level required for banking cards and electronic passports. This covers its cryptographic engines (AES-128, 3DES), secure boot, tamper sensors, and memory protection mechanisms - all confirmed in the official NXP certification report AVA_VAN.5 and ASE_TSP.3.
Does MF3D4300DA8/00 support ISO/IEC 7816-4 commands?
Yes, MF3D4300DA8/00 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), enabling interoperability with existing smart card middleware and PKI infrastructures.
How many applications and files can MF3D4300DA8/00 support?
MF3D4300DA8/00 supports an unlimited number of applications constrained only by its 4 kB NV memory capacity. Each application can contain up to 32 files of six types: Standard Data, Backup Data, Value, Linear Record, Cyclic Record, and Transaction MAC - with file sizes defined at creation time for precise memory allocation.
What is the difference between MF3D4300DA8/00 and MF3DH4300DA8/00?
MF3D4300DA8/00 features 17 pF input capacitance for standard antenna designs, while MF3DH4300DA8/00 uses 70 pF to enable compact antennas in wearables or key fobs. Both share identical MOA8 packaging and SOT500-4 footprint, but MF3D4300DA8/00 delivers longer read range and broader reader compatibility, whereas MF3DH4300DA8/00 sacrifices range for miniaturization.
Is MF3D4300DA8/00 backward compatible with older MIFARE DESFire generations?
Yes, MF3D4300DA8/00 operates in default delivery configuration as a MIFARE DESFire EV2 or EV1 device, supporting all legacy commands and security modes (D40 Native, EV1, EV2). New EV3 features like Transaction Timer, Secure Dynamic Messaging, and Virtual Card Architecture require explicit activation via dedicated commands per NXP's MF3D(H)x3 documentation.
