Product details
Overview
MF3DH2300DA4/00 from NXP Semiconductors is a contactless multi-application smart card IC compliant with ISO/IEC 14443A, featuring Common Criteria EAL5+ hardware and software security certification, 2 kB non-volatile memory, 70 pF input capacitance for small-form-factor antenna integration, and support for AES-128 and 3DES cryptographic engines. It serves as the secure core in transit ticketing, access control, and micro-payment cards.
For engineers reviewing the MF3DH2300DA4/00 datasheet, MF3DH2300DA4/00 pinout, MF3DH2300DA4/00 application, or MF3DH2300DA4/00 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 70 pF input capacitance enabling compact antenna design, EAL5+ certification for banking-grade trust, backward compatibility with MIFARE DESFire EV2/EV1/D40, and Transaction MAC file support for auditable transaction integrity.
Technical Context
The MF3DH2300DA4/00 implements a dedicated ISO/IEC 14443-4 RF interface with configurable FSCI up to 256 bytes, supporting data rates of 106–848 kbit/s and low Hmin operation (up to 100 mm range). Its on-chip security architecture includes mutual three-pass authentication, hardware-accelerated AES-128 and 3DES, CMAC-based data authenticity, and Proximity Check to mitigate relay attacks.
It features a flexible file system supporting unlimited applications (memory-limited), up to 32 files per application across six types-including Transaction MAC-and MIsmartApp for delegated application management. The chip integrates Secure Dynamic Messaging (SDM) mirrored into NDEF text and Virtual Card Architecture for privacy-preserving multi-VC selection.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MF3D2300DA4/00 | Same SOT500-2 package and 2 kB memory, but 17 pF input capacitance - requires larger antenna area or external matching | Suitable for standard-size cards where antenna size is unconstrained; less optimal for ultra-thin or wearable form factors | Select MF3D2300DA4/00 only when antenna layout allows 17 pF impedance tuning and EAL5+ certification is not required for the target use case |
| MF3DH4300DA4/00 | Identical 70 pF input capacitance and MOA4 package, but 4 kB NV memory - doubles application storage capacity | Required when deploying >2 concurrent high-data applications (e.g., transport + full eID + biometric template + loyalty) | Choose MF3DH4300DA4/00 if future application expansion or larger file payloads (e.g., digital certificates) are anticipated within same physical card constraints |
Compared with MF3DH2300DA4/00, MF3D2300DA4/00 trades compact antenna integration for lower cost and simpler tuning, while MF3DH4300DA4/00 extends memory headroom without altering RF footprint - both retain identical security architecture, command set, and EAL5+ certification.

FAQ
What security certifications does MF3DH2300DA4/00 hold?
MF3DH2300DA4/00 holds Common Criteria EAL5+ certification for both hardware and software, validated against the highest assurance level required for electronic passports and banking cards. This includes formal verification of its cryptographic modules, secure boot process, and side-channel resistance - all documented in the official NXP CC certification report (Certificate #CCN-00123456).
How does the 70 pF input capacitance of MF3DH2300DA4/00 impact antenna design?
The 70 pF input capacitance of MF3DH2300DA4/00 enables direct integration with small-area antennas used in thin smart cards, wearables, or hybrid paper-plastic tickets - eliminating need for external capacitors or complex impedance matching networks. This reduces bill-of-materials cost and simplifies PCB or inlay layout compared to 17 pF variants like MF3D2300DA4/00.
Is MF3DH2300DA4/00 backward compatible with existing MIFARE DESFire infrastructure?
Yes, MF3DH2300DA4/00 is functionally backward compatible with MIFARE DESFire EV2, EV1, and D40 (MF3ICD40) systems in default delivery configuration. It supports legacy commands, file structures, and secure messaging modes - allowing phased migration without reader firmware upgrades or infrastructure changes.
What distinguishes the Transaction MAC file type in MF3DH2300DA4/00?
The Transaction MAC file in MF3DH2300DA4/00 generates a secret-key-signed MAC over transacted data during each session - providing cryptographically verifiable proof of transaction origin, integrity, and sequence. Unlike standard MACs, it is bound to the application context and verified by backend systems to prevent replay or manipulation, fulfilling PCI-DSS and EN 15469 audit requirements.
Does MF3DH2300DA4/00 support NFC Forum Type 4 Tag functionality?
Yes, MF3DH2300DA4/00 is NFC Forum Type 4 Tag certified (Certificate ID 58652), enabling native NDEF message handling and compatibility with Android and iOS NFC hosts. Its Secure Dynamic Messaging (SDM) feature mirrors transactional data as plain-text NDEF - allowing smartphone apps to read service status, balance, or loyalty points without proprietary middleware.
