Product details
Overview
MF3D9300DA8/01J from NXP Semiconductors is a contactless multi-application smart card IC compliant with ISO/IEC 14443A, featuring 16 kB non-volatile memory, Common Criteria EAL5+ hardware and software certification, 7-byte UID, and support for AES-128 and 3DES cryptographic engines. It serves as the secure core of transit cards, e-ID documents, and micro-payment systems requiring high assurance and field-upgradable application logic.
For engineers reviewing the MF3D9300DA8/01J datasheet, MF3D9300DA8/01J pinout, MF3D9300DA8/01J application, or MF3D9300DA8/01J equivalent, key selection considerations include its 16 kB NV memory capacity, 17 pF input capacitance, SOT500-4 MOA8 package, EV3-specific Transaction MAC and Proximity Check features, and backward compatibility with DESFire EV2/EV1 infrastructure.
Technical Context
The MF3D9300DA8/01J implements a dedicated 32-bit CPU with ROM-based firmware, hardware-accelerated AES-128 and 3-key TDEA cryptographic engines, and integrated TRNG for key derivation. Its memory management unit (MMU) enforces strict isolation between applications-each with up to 32 files across six types-including Transaction MAC files for backend-verified transaction integrity.
It supports ISO/IEC 14443-4 protocol at data rates up to 848 kbit/s, configurable ATS for personalization, and dual-mode secure messaging (EV1/EV2/EV3). The chip integrates analog front-end sensors (voltage, temperature, light, glitch) and active shielding to counter physical attacks, while Virtual Card Architecture enables privacy-preserving multi-VC card selection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| NV Memory | 16 kB - supports ≥10 full-service applications (e.g., transport + payment + access) with file-level backup and dynamic allocation |
| Security Certification | Common Criteria EAL5+ (HW & SW) - meets banking and e-passport assurance requirements for tamper resistance and secure boot |

Pinout & Package
MF3D9300DA8/01J is housed in a plastic leadless module carrier package (MOA8) per SOT500-4 standard. This surface-mountable IC has no external pins; it interfaces exclusively via an embedded coil antenna using inductive coupling. Terminal functionality is defined by internal RF interface circuitry-not discrete I/O pins-and requires no PCB-level signal routing.
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

| Transaction MAC file type | Generates cryptographically signed transaction logs per application, enabling backend verification of data integrity without exposing keys |
| Proximity Check | Detects relay attacks by measuring RF field decay time-prevents unauthorized remote access to card functions |
| MIsmartApp delegated management | Allows third-party service providers to create and manage applications on shared cards without PICC owner intervention |
| Virtual Card Architecture (VCA) | Enables multiple logical cards on one physical device with selective, privacy-preserving application discovery and selection |
| Secure Dynamic Messaging (SDM) | Mirrors authenticated NDEF text payloads for NFC-enabled mobile devices-supports SUN-compliant mobile ticketing |
Applications
| Public Transport Ticketing | Smart City Mobility Card |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Contactless fare collection across buses, trams, and metro lines with offline balance updates and audit trails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secure storage and cryptographic execution environment for encrypted value files, transaction counters, and audit logs.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secure value file handler with built-in anti-tear mechanism and CMAC-protected transaction logging. Use Value: Guarantees consistent balance state across all terminals without real-time network dependency or backend reconciliation. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MF3D9301DUD/01 | Same 16 kB memory and EV3 feature set, but in FFC wafer form (120 μm thickness) instead of MOA8 module package | Targeted for inlay embedding into PVC cards or laminates-not surface-mount PCB integration | Select when integrating into smart card bodies rather than module-based reader designs or embedded modules |
| MF3DH9300DA8/01 | Identical MOA8/SOT500-4 package and 16 kB memory, but with 70 pF input capacitance for small-antenna or compact-form-factor designs | Optimized for wearables, wristbands, or thin cards where standard 17 pF impedance matching is impractical | Select when antenna size constraints require higher capacitive loading to maintain coupling efficiency at 13.56 MHz |
Compared with MF3D9300DA8/01J, MF3D9301DUD/01 offers identical security and memory but requires wafer-level assembly, while MF3DH9300DA8/01 trades lower RF sensitivity for mechanical miniaturization-making MF3D9300DA8/01J optimal for standard-size cards with robust read range.

FAQ
What security certifications does MF3D9300DA8/01J hold?
MF3D9300DA8/01J holds Common Criteria EAL5+ certification for both hardware and software, validated against the full MIFARE DESFire EV3 specification. This certification covers cryptographic implementation, secure boot, memory protection, and physical attack resistance-including voltage, temperature, and glitch sensors. It meets the assurance level required for banking cards and electronic passports, and is documented in the official NXP Product Short Data Sheet Rev. 3.1.
How much non-volatile memory does MF3D9300DA8/01J provide, and how is it structured?
MF3D9300DA8/01J provides 16 kB of non-volatile memory organized as a flexible, application-isolated file system. Each application can contain up to 32 files across six types-including Standard Data, Value, Linear/Cyclic Record, Backup Data, and Transaction MAC files. File sizes are user-defined at creation (except Transaction MAC), and memory reuse is supported via Format Application commands-enabling dynamic service provisioning on deployed cards.
Is MF3D9300DA8/01J compatible with existing MIFARE DESFire infrastructure?
Yes, MF3D9300DA8/01J is functionally backward compatible with MIFARE DESFire EV2, EV1, and D40 (MF3ICD40) in its default delivery configuration. It supports all legacy secure messaging modes (D40 Native, EV1, EV2) and ISO/IEC 7816-4 APDU commands. New EV3 features-including Transaction MAC, Proximity Check, and MIsmartApp-require explicit activation via dedicated commands and do not interfere with legacy operation.
What distinguishes MF3D9300DA8/01J from MF3DH9300DA8/01?
MF3D9300DA8/01J and MF3DH9300DA8/01 share identical 16 kB memory, MOA8/SOT500-4 packaging, and EV3 feature set-but differ in input capacitance: MF3D9300DA8/01J uses 17 pF for standard antenna tuning, while MF3DH9300DA8/01 uses 70 pF to support compact or low-inductance antennas in wearables and thin cards. Both are drop-in replacements in layout, but RF matching must be re-validated for the target antenna geometry.
Does MF3D9300DA8/01J support NFC Forum Type 4 Tag functionality?
Yes, MF3D9300DA8/01J is NFC Forum Type 4 Tag certified (Certificate ID 58652). It supports NDEF message mirroring via Secure Dynamic Messaging (SDM), enabling seamless interaction with NFC-enabled smartphones. SDM payloads are cryptographically signed and appear as plain-text NDEF records-facilitating mobile ticketing, loyalty redemption, and cloud-based service enrollment without requiring proprietary apps.
