Product details
Overview
MF3DH2301DUD/00Z 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 designs, and support for AES-128 and 3DES cryptographic engines. It enables secure public transport ticketing, micro-payment, and multi-service smart city cards.
For engineers reviewing the MF3DH2301DUD/00Z datasheet, MF3DH2301DUD/00Z pinout, MF3DH2301DUD/00Z application, or MF3DH2301DUD/00Z equivalent, key selection considerations include its 70 pF high-input-capacitance variant optimized for compact antennas, backward compatibility with MIFARE DESFire EV2/EV1/D40, Transaction MAC file support, and MIsmartApp-enabled delegated application management.
Technical Context
The MF3DH2301DUD/00Z implements a dedicated ISO/IEC 14443-4 contactless interface with configurable frame size (FSCI) up to 256 bytes and supports data rates of 106–848 kbit/s. 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.
Memory organization uses a flexible, application-level file system supporting unlimited applications (limited only by 2 kB NV capacity), up to 32 files per application across six file types-including Transaction MAC-and automatic anti-tear protection with integrated Transaction Timer to prevent Man-in-the-Middle transaction delays.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RF Interface | ISO/IEC 14443 Type A compliant; enables interoperability with global NFC readers and legacy MIFARE infrastructure. |
| Non-volatile Memory | 2 kB; sufficient for multiple secure applications (e.g., transit + loyalty + access) with full file-system flexibility. |
| Input Capacitance | 70 pF; allows compact antenna design in thin cards or wearables without external tuning components. |
| Cryptographic Engine | AES-128 and 3DES hardware acceleration; delivers authenticated, encrypted RF communication with 8-byte CMAC integrity. |
| Security Certification | Common Criteria EAL5+ (HW & SW); meets banking-grade assurance requirements for e-passports and payment cards. |
| File Types | Six supported: Standard Data, Backup Data, Value, Linear Record, Cyclic Record, and Transaction MAC; enables atomic multi-file transactions. |
| Transaction Integrity | Automatic anti-tear + Transaction Timer; guarantees data consistency during power loss and prevents malicious transaction extension. |
Pinout & Package
MF3DH2301DUD/00Z is supplied in FFC (Film Frame Carrier) wafer form-12-inch diameter, 120 μm thickness-with no discrete pins or terminals. As a bare die contactless IC, it interfaces exclusively via inductive coupling through an embedded antenna coil; no electrical pinout applies.
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MIsmartApp Delegated Management | Enables third-party application creation and lifecycle control without PICC owner intervention-critical for scalable smart city service rollouts. |
| Transaction MAC File | Generates cryptographically signed transaction proofs per application, enabling backend verification of tamper-proof activity logs. |
| Virtual Card Architecture | Supports privacy-preserving card selection across multiple logical applications on one physical card-prevents tracking across services. |
| Proximity Check & Originality Check | Detects relay attacks and validates genuine NXP silicon-essential for fraud-resistant access and payment deployments. |
| Backward Compatibility Mode | Operates as MIFARE DESFire EV2/EV1/D40 out-of-box; allows infrastructure upgrades without reader replacement. |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MF3D2301DUD/00 | Same 2 kB memory and FFC package but 17 pF input capacitance; requires larger antenna area for equivalent coupling efficiency. | Better suited for standard-size smart cards where antenna size is unconstrained; less optimal for ultra-thin or wearable formats. | Select MF3D2301DUD/00 when antenna geometry permits lower capacitance and cost sensitivity outweighs miniaturization needs. |
| MF3DH4301DUD/00 | Identical 70 pF high-capacitance design but with 4 kB NV memory; same die size and package footprint. | Supports more complex multi-application deployments-e.g., adding biometric templates or extended audit logs-without changing card layout. | Choose MF3DH4301DUD/00 when future application expansion is anticipated and memory headroom is required beyond 2 kB. |
Compared with MF3DH2301DUD/00Z, MF3D2301DUD/00 trades antenna miniaturization for cost, while MF3DH4301DUD/00 extends memory capacity within identical mechanical constraints-enabling scalable deployment paths without redesigning card antennas or packaging.

FAQ
What is the primary security certification level of MF3DH2301DUD/00Z?
MF3DH2301DUD/00Z holds Common Criteria EAL5+ certification for both hardware and software, matching the assurance level required for banking cards and electronic passports. This certification validates its resistance to side-channel, fault injection, and logical attacks-making MF3DH2301DUD/00Z suitable for high-risk financial and national ID applications.
How does the 70 pF input capacitance of MF3DH2301DUD/00Z impact antenna design?
The 70 pF input capacitance of MF3DH2301DUD/00Z reduces required antenna inductance, enabling smaller, thinner, or curved antenna geometries-ideal for wearables, paper tickets, or space-constrained smart cards. Unlike the 17 pF variants, MF3DH2301DUD/00Z avoids external tuning capacitors, simplifying PCB or inlay design and improving yield in high-volume production.
Is MF3DH2301DUD/00Z compatible with existing MIFARE DESFire EV2 infrastructure?
Yes, MF3DH2301DUD/00Z operates in backward-compatible mode with MIFARE DESFire EV2, EV1, and D40 out of the box. No reader firmware changes are needed for basic functionality. New features like Transaction MAC or Virtual Card Architecture require explicit command activation-but legacy transactions remain fully interoperable with MF3DH2301DUD/00Z.
What file types does MF3DH2301DUD/00Z support, and why does that matter for application design?
MF3DH2301DUD/00Z supports six file types: Standard Data, Backup Data, Value, Linear Record, Cyclic Record, and Transaction MAC. This diversity allows developers to mix persistent storage (Standard Data), balance tracking (Value), audit logs (Linear Record), rolling history (Cyclic Record), and cryptographically signed transaction evidence (Transaction MAC)-all within a single 2 kB memory space.
Does MF3DH2301DUD/00Z include hardware support for anti-relay protection?
Yes, MF3DH2301DUD/00Z integrates Proximity Check-a hardware-enforced timing-based mechanism that detects and rejects relay attacks by measuring RF round-trip delay. Combined with Originality Check to verify genuine NXP silicon, this dual-layer defense ensures MF3DH2301DUD/00Z meets EN 15118 and ISO/IEC 14443-4 security requirements for trusted contactless transactions.
