Product details
Overview
MF3D8201DUD/00V from NXP Semiconductors is a contactless multi-application IC compliant with ISO/IEC 14443A, featuring 8 KB EEPROM, 17 pF input capacitance, Common Criteria EAL5+ security certification, and support for AES-128 and 3DES cryptographic engines. It enables secure public transport ticketing, micro-payment, and access management in smart city infrastructure.
For engineers reviewing the MF3D8201DUD/00V datasheet, MF3D8201DUD/00V pinout, MF3D8201DUD/00V application, or MF3D8201DUD/00V equivalent, key selection considerations include its 8 KB NV memory capacity, EAL5+ hardware/software security certification, Transaction MAC file support, MIsmartApp delegated application management, and backward compatibility with MIFARE DESFire EV1 and D40 systems.
Technical Context
The MF3D8201DUD/00V implements a dedicated ISO/IEC 14443-4 RF interface supporting data rates up to 848 kbit/s and configurable frame size (FSCI) up to 128 bytes. Its on-chip cryptographic engine supports AES-128, 3TDEA, and single DES with hardware-accelerated CMAC generation and mutual three-pass authentication.
Memory organization uses a flexible file system with no hard limit on application count, up to 32 files per application across six file types-including Standard Data, Value, Linear/Cyclic Record, Backup Data, and Transaction MAC files-each sized at creation time and protected by transaction-oriented anti-tear mechanisms.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MF3D4201DUD/01 | 4 KB EEPROM, same 17 pF input capacitance, identical FFC package and RF interface | Lower memory capacity limits number of concurrent applications and file depth | Select when application footprint and cost sensitivity outweigh need for extended storage headroom |
| MF3DH8201DUD/01 | 8 KB EEPROM with 70 pF input capacitance - optimized for compact antenna geometries | Requires antenna redesign for optimal coupling; not interchangeable without RF validation | Choose for space-constrained inlays or thin-form-factor cards where higher input capacitance improves read range stability |
Compared with MF3D4201DUD/01, MF3D8201DUD/00V provides double NV memory for deeper application nesting and larger transaction logs; compared with MF3DH8201DUD/01, it avoids high-capacitance antenna tuning requirements while retaining full feature parity and security certification.

FAQ
What security certifications does MF3D8201DUD/00V hold?
MF3D8201DUD/00V holds Common Criteria EAL5+ certification for both hardware and software components - the same assurance level required for banking cards and electronic passports. This covers its cryptographic engines (AES-128, 3TDEA), memory protection, anti-tear mechanisms, and secure messaging protocols. The certification validates resistance to side-channel, fault injection, and logical attacks under defined threat models.
Does MF3D8201DUD/00V support ISO/IEC 7816-4 commands?
Yes, MF3D8201DUD/00V 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 operate alongside native MIFARE DESFire commands and enable interoperability with legacy smart card infrastructure.
How many applications and files can MF3D8201DUD/00V support?
MF3D8201DUD/00V supports an unlimited number of applications limited only by available 8 KB EEPROM space. Each application can contain up to 32 files across six types: Standard Data, Backup Data, Value, Linear Record, Cyclic Record, and Transaction MAC. File sizes are user-defined at creation time, and automatic anti-tear ensures atomic updates across related records.
Is MF3D8201DUD/00V backward compatible with older MIFARE DESFire generations?
Yes, MF3D8201DUD/00V operates in default delivery configuration as a MIFARE DESFire EV1 device, ensuring functional backward compatibility with MF3ICD40 and MIFARE DESFire EV1 systems. All EV2-specific features - such as Transaction MAC, MIsmartApp, and Proximity Check - require explicit activation via new commands and do not interfere with legacy deployments.
What distinguishes MF3D8201DUD/00V from MF3DH8201DUD/01?
MF3D8201DUD/00V has 17 pF input capacitance and targets standard antenna designs, while MF3DH8201DUD/01 uses 70 pF input capacitance for compact or low-profile inlays. Both share identical 8 KB EEPROM, EAL5+ certification, and feature set. They are not pin-compatible substitutes - antenna matching and RF performance validation are required when switching between them.
