Product details
Overview
MFRC63002HN,557 from NXP Semiconductors is a high-performance NFC frontend IC for ISO/IEC 14443A and MIFARE Classic read/write systems, supporting up to 848 kbit/s bidirectional transfer speed, integrated 512-byte FIFO buffer, and hardware-accelerated MIFARE Classic encryption. It operates from 3.0 V to 5.5 V supply and delivers typical read/write range up to 12 cm with optimized antenna tuning - deployed in access control terminals and industrial credential readers.
For engineers reviewing the MFRC63002HN,557 datasheet, MFRC63002HN,557 pinout, MFRC63002HN,557 application, or MFRC63002HN,557 equivalent, key selection considerations include its HVQFN32 (SOT617-1) package, dual-transmitter RF architecture (TX1/TX2), dedicated SAM I²C interface, low-power card detection (LPCD) capability, and support for SPI (up to 10 Mbit/s), UART (RS232-level), and I²C host interfaces.
Technical Context
The MFRC63002HN,557 implements a fully integrated analog front-end with two independent 13.56 MHz transmitter outputs (TX1/TX2), differential receiver inputs (RXP/RXN), and internal PLL deriving system clock from a 27.12 MHz crystal. Its digital baseband handles full ISO/IEC 14443A framing, CRC-16 (per Part 3), parity generation, and Manchester/BPSK decoding without host intervention.
It features five programmable timers (Timer0–Timer4), including Timer4 as a wakeup timer driven by an internal LFO for low-power card detection, plus interrupt-driven event handling via IRQ pin with configurable sources (TxIRQ, RxIRQ, LPCDIRQ, HiAlertIRQ, etc.) and dual 8-bit IRQ registers (IRQ0/IRQ1) with maskable enables.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 3.0 V to 5.5 V - supports direct integration into 3.3 V or 5 V industrial power rails without level-shifting. |
| RF Transfer Speed | Up to 848 kbit/s - enables fast MIFARE Classic 4K authentication and sector read/write in <100 ms. |
| FIFO Buffer Size | 512 bytes - reduces host CPU overhead during burst NFC transactions and improves throughput stability. |
| Operating Temperature | −25 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded reader modules operating in uncontrolled environments. |
| Power-Down Current | 8 nA typical - enables battery-powered devices to maintain multi-week standby while retaining card-detection readiness. |
| Host Interfaces | SPI (10 Mbit/s), UART (RS232-level), I²C (Fast mode+, up to 1000 kBd), and dedicated SAM I²C - provides flexible MCU coexistence and secure key management. |
| Transmit Outputs | Dual 13.56 MHz carriers (TX1/TX2) - supports antenna diversity, field shaping, or redundant path design for improved coupling reliability. |
Pinout & Package
HVQFN32 (SOT617-1) package: plastic thermal enhanced very thin quad flat package, no leads, 32 terminals + 1 central ground pad, body 5 × 5 × 0.85 mm, MSL1 rating.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NFC frontend applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MFRC63003HN/T/R | Wider supply range (2.5 V–5.5 V), enhanced LPCD register (LPCD_OPTIONS), optimized Load Protocol settings for small antennas. | Better suited for portable, battery-constrained designs and compact form factors where antenna area is limited. | Select MFRC63003HN/T/R for new designs requiring extended voltage flexibility or miniaturized antenna layouts. |
| PN5180A0HN/C1 | Higher RF output power (+23 dBm), integrated NFC controller with ISO/IEC 18092 active mode, supports peer-to-peer and card emulation. | Enables dual-role operation (reader + initiator) and longer-range (>15 cm) use cases but consumes more power in active mode. | Choose PN5180A0HN/C1 when system requires active communication mode or interoperability with Android Beam–compatible devices. |
Compared with MFRC63002HN,557, the MFRC63003HN/T/R offers lower-voltage operation and refined low-power detection logic, while PN5180A0HN/C1 adds active-mode capability and higher RF output - neither is pin-compatible, and both require PCB layout revision and firmware adaptation.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported data transfer speed of the MFRC63002HN,557?
The MFRC63002HN,557 supports bidirectional data transfer speeds up to 848 kbit/s in ISO/IEC 14443A and MIFARE Classic read/write modes. This speed is achieved using modified Miller encoding (reader-to-card) and Manchester/BPSK (card-to-reader), with hardware CRC and parity handling ensuring error-free frame transmission. The MFRC63002HN,557 achieves this performance without host CPU involvement in physical layer processing.
Does the MFRC63002HN,557 support MIFARE DESFire EV2 cards?
Yes, the MFRC63002HN,557 explicitly supports MIFARE DESFire EV1 and MIFARE DESFire EV2 ICs, as confirmed in Section 1 General Description and Table 4 of the datasheet. It handles their command set, AES-128 authentication, and encrypted data exchange through its contactless UART and integrated framing logic - provided the host MCU implements the upper-layer application protocol.
What host interfaces does the MFRC63002HN,557 support, and how are they selected?
The MFRC63002HN,557 supports SPI (up to 10 Mbit/s), RS232-level UART, standard I²C, and I²C-L (low-voltage variant). Interface selection occurs automatically at power-up based on logic levels applied to IFSEL0, IFSEL1, and multifunction pins IF0–IF3 - no firmware configuration is required. Pin configurations for each mode are defined in Table 7 of the datasheet.
Can the MFRC63002HN,557 operate with a 2.5 V supply?
No, the MFRC63002HN,557 requires a minimum supply voltage of 3.0 V, as specified in Table 1 (Quick reference data MFRC63002HN). Its sibling variant MFRC63003HN supports 2.5 V–5.5 V operation. Using 2.5 V on MFRC63002HN,557 will result in undefined behavior or failure to initialize - always verify VDD against the correct variant's datasheet table.
How is low-power card detection implemented in the MFRC63002HN,557?
The MFRC63002HN,557 implements low-power card detection (LPCD) using Timer4 driven by the internal low-frequency oscillator (LFO), periodically waking the analog frontend to sample antenna resonance shift. When a card is detected, LPCDIRQ asserts on the IRQ pin. This mode draws typical current below 10 µA - significantly lower than continuous polling - and is configured via registers documented in Section 8.2.1.2 of the datasheet.
