Product details
Overview
MF3DH8300DA8/00J from NXP Semiconductors is a contactless multi-application smart card IC compliant with ISO/IEC 14443A, featuring 8 kB non-volatile memory, 70 pF input capacitance, Common Criteria EAL5+ security certification, 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 integrity and privacy protection.
For engineers reviewing the MF3DH8300DA8/00J datasheet, MF3DH8300DA8/00J pinout, MF3DH8300DA8/00J application, or MF3DH8300DA8/00J equivalent, key selection considerations include its 70 pF high-input-capacitance variant optimized for small-form-factor antennas, EV3-specific features like Transaction Timer and Proximity Check, and backward compatibility with MIFARE DESFire EV2/EV1 infrastructure.
Technical Context
The MF3DH8300DA8/00J implements a dual-layer security architecture: hardware-accelerated AES-128 and 3DES crypto engines plus on-chip sensors (voltage, temperature, light, glitch) for tamper detection. Its file system supports up to 32 files per application across unlimited applications, with six file types including Transaction MAC and automatic anti-tear protection.
It operates at 13.56 MHz with configurable frame size (up to 256 bytes), supports ISO/IEC 7816-4 APDU commands, and enables secure messaging via EV2/EV3 protocols - including Secure Dynamic Messaging (SDM) mirrored into NDEF for NFC Forum Type 4 Tag compliance (Cert. ID 58652).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory capacity | 8 kB NV memory - sufficient for multiple complex applications such as transport + loyalty + access control on one card |

Pinout & Package
MF3DH8300DA8/00J is supplied in MOA8 plastic leadless module carrier package (SOT500-4), designed for embedding into smart cards or inlays. It has no external pins - RF coupling occurs via integrated antenna interface terminals (LA/LB) compatible with standard ISO/IEC 14443A coil layouts.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MF3DH8300DA4/00 | Same 8 kB memory and 70 pF capacitance, but MOA4 (SOT500-2) package - smaller footprint, lower profile | Better suited for ultra-thin cards or embedded modules where height is constrained | Select when mechanical envelope limits thickness more than lateral space |
| MF3D8300DA8/00 | Same MOA8 (SOT500-4) package and 8 kB memory, but 17 pF input capacitance instead of 70 pF | Requires larger antenna geometry; less tolerant of miniaturized or flexible inlay designs | Select only when legacy antenna design is fixed and high-capacitance tuning is unnecessary |
Compared with MF3DH8300DA4/00 and MF3D8300DA8/00, the MF3DH8300DA8/00J uniquely balances high-input-capacitance RF performance with the MOA8 package's robust mounting and thermal characteristics - making it optimal for durable, field-deployed smart cards where both miniaturization and reliability are critical.

FAQ
What security certifications does the MF3DH8300DA8/00J hold?
The MF3DH8300DA8/00J holds Common Criteria EAL5+ certification for both hardware and software, meeting the same security assurance level required for banking cards and electronic passports. This certification covers its cryptographic engines (AES-128, 3DES), secure messaging protocols, anti-tamper sensors, and file system integrity mechanisms - all validated under CC evaluation scope for MIFARE DESFire EV3.
How does the 70 pF input capacitance of MF3DH8300DA8/00J affect antenna design?
The 70 pF input capacitance of MF3DH8300DA8/00J allows direct matching with smaller, lower-inductance antennas - reducing required coil area by up to 40% compared to 17 pF variants. This enables thinner smart cards, wearable form factors, and flexible inlays without sacrificing read range or reliability, especially in metal-adjacent or space-constrained deployments.
Is MF3DH8300DA8/00J backward compatible with existing MIFARE DESFire EV2 infrastructure?
Yes, MF3DH8300DA8/00J operates in default delivery configuration as a MIFARE DESFire EV2 device, supporting all EV2 commands, file structures, and secure messaging modes. New EV3 features like Transaction Timer or Proximity Check require explicit activation via dedicated commands - ensuring seamless integration into legacy systems without reader firmware changes.
What file types does MF3DH8300DA8/00J support, and how are they used in practice?
MF3DH8300DA8/00J supports six file types: Standard Data, Backup Data, Value, Linear Record, Cyclic Record, and Transaction MAC. In practice, Value files store reloadable balances with built-in overflow protection; Linear Record files log trip history; Transaction MAC files cryptographically sign each transaction for backend verification - all protected by atomic anti-tear logic to prevent data corruption during power loss.
Does MF3DH8300DA8/00J support NFC Forum Type 4 Tag functionality?
Yes, MF3DH8300DA8/00J is NFC Forum Type 4 Tag certified (Certificate ID 58652). It supports NDEF message mirroring via Secure Dynamic Messaging (SDM), enabling dynamic NDEF text generation that reflects real-time transaction data - allowing mobile phones and NFC readers to interpret card state without proprietary drivers or cloud dependencies.
