Product details
Overview
MF3MODH4101DA8/05 from NXP Semiconductors is a contactless multi-application IC based on MIFARE DESFire EV1 architecture, featuring 4 kB EEPROM, 70 pF input capacitance, ISO/IEC 14443A compliance, and hardware AES-128/3DES cryptographic acceleration. It serves as the secure transaction engine in smart card modules for public transport ticketing, access control, and closed-loop e-payment systems.
For engineers reviewing the MF3MODH4101DA8/05 datasheet, MF3MODH4101DA8/05 pinout, MF3MODH4101DA8/05 application, or MF3MODH4101DA8/05 equivalent, key selection criteria include its EAL4+ Common Criteria certification, 848 kbit/s RF data rate, deterministic anti-collision support, flexible file system (28 apps × 32 files), and high-input-capacitance variant optimized for compact antenna designs.
Technical Context
The MF3MODH4101DA8/05 implements a dedicated 32-bit CPU with ROM-based firmware, co-processor-assisted cryptographic operations (AES-128, 3DES, CMAC), and true random number generation. Its RF interface fully complies with ISO/IEC 14443-3 (anti-collision) and ISO/IEC 14443-4 (block transmission), supporting RATS/PPS/WTX protocols and optional ISO/IEC 7816-4 APDU command mapping.
Memory management uses a self-securing file system with transaction-oriented automatic anti-tear protection across all five file types (Standard, Backup, Value, Linear Record, Cyclic Record). Each application supports up to 14 keys, with master key and per-application key versioning, and authentication occurs at both PICC and application levels using mutual three-pass challenge-response.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RF Interface | ISO/IEC 14443 Type A compliant; enables interoperability with global reader infrastructure without protocol translation. |
| Memory Size | 4 kB EEPROM; supports up to 28 applications and 32 files per application with user-defined file sizing at creation time. |
| Data Rate | Up to 848 kbit/s; reduces transaction latency in high-throughput environments like transit gates and vending terminals. |
| Cryptographic Engine | Hardware AES-128 and 3DES; delivers authenticated encryption (CMAC) and session key derivation without host CPU overhead. |
| Input Capacitance | 70 pF (typical); allows integration into small-form-factor cards and fobs with reduced antenna size and lower field sensitivity. |
| Security Certification | Common Criteria EAL4+ (hardware + software); validated assurance level for government and transport authority deployments. |
| UID Length | 7-byte unique identifier; fixed at production, write-protected, and usable for diversified key derivation to prevent cloning. |
| Operating Frequency | 13.56 MHz; ensures compatibility with NFC Forum–compliant readers and mobile devices. |
Pinout & Package
MF3MODH4101DA8/05 is supplied in a plastic leadless module carrier (PLLMC) package, also known as MOA8, with SOT500-4 footprint. The module integrates the die, antenna coupling structure, and matching components - no external pins or terminals are exposed for direct electrical connection. It is designed for embedding into laminated smart cards or hybrid form factors where RF coupling occurs via integrated coil geometry.
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Transaction-Oriented Anti-Tear | Guarantees atomicity of multi-record writes across Value, Linear, and Cyclic Record files - critical for fare deduction or access logging integrity. |
| Flexible File System | Supports mixed file types (Standard, Backup, Value, Linear/Cyclic Record) within one application - enables unified credential storage for transit + payment + access. |
| Random ID Option | Configurable privacy mode replacing fixed UID with 3-byte random value per RF reset - mitigates tracking in surveillance-sensitive deployments. |
| Backward Compatibility | Maintains functional overlap with MF3ICD40 including 4-byte MAC and CRC-16 - simplifies migration from legacy MIFARE DESFire systems. |
| ATS Configuration | User-definable Answer-to-Select string during personalization - enables reader-side protocol negotiation and card-type identification in heterogeneous fleets. |
| Secure Key Management | Per-application key versioning and master key isolation - prevents cross-application privilege escalation and supports phased key rollover. |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the MF3MODH4101DA8/05 in a smart card system?
The MF3MODH4101DA8/05 serves as the secure contactless transaction IC in embedded smart card modules. It executes cryptographic authentication, manages multi-application file structures, and handles high-speed RF data exchange per ISO/IEC 14443A. Its role is to securely store and process credentials, balances, and access rights - all within the MF3MODH4101DA8/05's certified hardware environment.
Does the MF3MODH4101DA8/05 require an external power source or battery?
No, the MF3MODH4101DA8/05 operates entirely from energy harvested via its integrated RF coil during proximity to a reader's electromagnetic field. It contains no battery or external power interface - power-on-reset and voltage regulation are handled internally, consistent with ISO/IEC 14443-2 requirements.
How does the 70 pF input capacitance of the MF3MODH4101DA8/05 affect antenna design?
The 70 pF input capacitance of the MF3MODH4101DA8/05 lowers the resonant frequency of the coupled antenna circuit, enabling smaller coil geometries and thinner card profiles. This allows designers to reduce antenna size by ~25% compared to 17 pF variants like MF3MOD4101DA8/05 - making the MF3MODH4101DA8/05 ideal for fobs, wristbands, and slim ID cards.
Can the MF3MODH4101DA8/05 be used in systems requiring Common Criteria certification?
Yes, the MF3MODH4101DA8/05 inherits the Common Criteria EAL4+ certification of the underlying MIFARE DESFire EV1 silicon. This certification covers both hardware and firmware, validating resistance to physical, fault injection, and side-channel attacks - fulfilling mandatory assurance requirements for government, transit, and banking deployments where the MF3MODH4101DA8/05 is deployed.
What file types does the MF3MODH4101DA8/05 support, and how are they applied in practice?
The MF3MODH4101DA8/05 supports five file types: Standard Data, Backup Data, Value, Linear Record, and Cyclic Record. In practice, Value files store prepaid balances (e.g., transit credit), Linear Record files log entry/exit events, and Cyclic Record files maintain rolling audit trails. All benefit from the MF3MODH4101DA8/05's transaction-oriented anti-tear mechanism to ensure data consistency during power loss.
