Pinout & Package
MF3DH9200DA4/02J is supplied in MOB4 plastic leadless module carrier package (SOT500-2), designed for direct embedding into laminated smart cards or embedded modules. It has no external pins - RF coupling occurs via internal antenna connection pads (typically bonded to printed antenna traces).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ANT1 / ANT2 | RF antenna interface | Differential connection points for external loop antenna; matched to 70 pF input impedance for optimal power transfer at 13.56 MHz. |
| VSS | Ground reference | Common return path for analog/digital circuitry; requires low-inductance connection to antenna ground plane. |
| VDD (internal) | Power supply | No external VDD pin - powered entirely by RF field; internal voltage regulator delivers stable core voltage from harvested RF energy. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Transaction MAC file type | Generates cryptographically signed transaction logs on-card - provides tamper-evident proof for backend reconciliation without exposing raw data. |
| MIsmartApp (Delegated Application Management) | Enables third-party app providers to create, manage, and update applications independently - eliminates PICC owner dependency for service rollout. |
| Proximity Check | Detects relay attacks in real time using signal propagation timing - prevents unauthorized remote card emulation in access or payment scenarios. |
| Originality Check | Verifies genuine NXP silicon via on-chip challenge-response protocol - blocks counterfeit ICs in high-security deployments like national ID or transit authority systems. |
| Virtual Card Architecture | Supports multiple logical card instances with independent AIDs and privacy-preserving selection - essential for citizen services consolidating health, transport, and tax credentials. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MF3D9200DA4/02 | Same MOB4/SOT500-2 package and 16 KB memory, but 17 pF input capacitance - optimized for larger antenna designs with higher coupling efficiency. | Limited to medium-to-large form factor cards; less suitable for ultra-thin or wearable implementations requiring 70 pF impedance matching. | Select MF3D9200DA4/02 when antenna geometry permits lower capacitance and cost sensitivity outweighs compactness requirements. |
| MF3DH4200DA4/02 | Identical 70 pF input capacitance and MOB4 package, but only 4 KB EEPROM - reduces memory headroom for complex multi-service deployments. | Suitable for single-purpose credentials (e.g., campus ID only) but insufficient for concurrent transit + payment + access workflows. | Choose MF3DH4200DA4/02 only for cost-constrained, low-complexity applications where memory expansion is not anticipated. |
Compared with MF3DH9200DA4/02J, MF3D9200DA4/02 trades compact antenna compatibility for broader reader interoperability, while MF3DH4200DA4/02 sacrifices memory scalability to reduce unit cost - making MF3DH9200DA4/02J the balanced choice for future-proofed smart city credential platforms.

FAQ
What is the primary security certification level of the MF3DH9200DA4/02J?
The MF3DH9200DA4/02J holds Common Criteria EAL5+ certification for both hardware and software - the same assurance level required for electronic passports and banking smart cards. This certification validates its resistance to side-channel, fault injection, and logical attacks, and confirms that all cryptographic operations (AES-128, 3DES, CMAC) execute within a tamper-resistant environment. MF3DH9200DA4/02J achieves this through on-die sensors, active shielding, and secure boot mechanisms.
Does the MF3DH9200DA4/02J support ISO/IEC 7816-4 commands?
Yes, the MF3DH9200DA4/02J 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 commands operate natively over the ISO/IEC 14443-4 transport layer, enabling integration with existing PKI-based backend systems and middleware designed for smart card standards. MF3DH9200DA4/02J also supports ISO/IEC 7816-4 file selection by DF name.
How does the Transaction MAC feature work in the MF3DH9200DA4/02J?
The MF3DH9200DA4/02J implements Transaction MAC as a dedicated file type that cryptographically signs transaction data using a secret key stored in secure memory. Each time a value update or record append occurs, the IC computes a CMAC over the payload and stores it alongside the data - providing verifiable, tamper-evident proof for backend reconciliation. Unlike generic MACs, this is bound to the application context and enforced at the OS level, preventing replay or manipulation. MF3DH9200DA4/02J supports Transaction MAC at the application level, not just per-file.
Is the MF3DH9200DA4/02J backward compatible with earlier MIFARE DESFire generations?
Yes, the MF3DH9200DA4/02J is functionally backward compatible with MIFARE DESFire EV1 and MF3ICD40 (D40) in default delivery configuration. It supports D40-native and EV1 secure messaging modes via Authenticate and AuthenticateISO commands, allowing phased migration from legacy infrastructure. However, new features like Transaction MAC, MIsmartApp, and Proximity Check require explicit activation using EV2-specific commands and are not accessible in backward-compatible mode.
What is the significance of the 'H' in MF3DH9200DA4/02J?
The 'H' in MF3DH9200DA4/02J denotes high-input-capacitance silicon - specifically 70 pF (typ), versus 17 pF for non-H variants. This design enables robust RF coupling in space-constrained applications such as ultra-thin smart cards, wearable tokens, or embedded modules with small or inefficient antennas. The 70 pF variant maintains full functional equivalence with standard MF3Dx2 devices but shifts the impedance matching point to favor compact antenna geometries without sacrificing read range or reliability. MF3DH9200DA4/02J retains identical memory, security, and command-set capabilities.
