Product details
Overview
NHS3100TEMODBUL from NXP Semiconductors is an NFC-enabled, ultra-low-power Arm Cortex-M0+ temperature monitoring IC with integrated ±0.3 °C (0–45 °C) sensor, 32 kB flash, 8 kB SRAM, and dual power capability (1.72–3.6 V battery or NFC field). It supports cold-chain validation, battery-free NFC readout, and firmware programmability for custom sensor logging applications.
For engineers reviewing the NHS3100TEMODBUL datasheet, NHS3100TEMODBUL pinout, NHS3100TEMODBUL application, or NHS3100TEMODBUL equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (HVQFN24), confirmed I²C/NFC/temperature sensor operation, validated deep power-down modes (<50 nA), and real-world cold-chain and NFC tag design considerations.
Technical Context
The NHS3100TEMODBUL integrates an Arm Cortex-M0+ core running at up to 8 MHz (configurable down to 62.5 kHz), a dedicated 32 kHz timer oscillator for RTC, and a dual-oscillator clock system (8 MHz SFRO + 32 kHz TFRO) with independent power gating. Its PMU enables five distinct power states - including battery-off mode - with automatic VDDBAT/VNFC source selection and <50 nA quiescent current.
It features software-configurable GPIO (12 pins), hardware-accelerated I²C (400 kbit/s), NFC/RFID ISO 14443 Type A interface (NFC Forum Type 2 certified), and on-die temperature sensing with ±0.3 °C accuracy across 0–45 °C. All analog peripherals - including the temperature sensor - receive fixed-clock timing independent of system clock dividers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | Arm Cortex-M0+ @ up to 8 MHz; supports SWD debug and nested vectored interrupt controller (NVIC) for deterministic low-latency response |
| Temperature Accuracy | ±0.3 °C (0–45 °C); enables high-fidelity cold-chain validation without external calibration |
| Memory | 32 kB flash (programmable), 4 kB EEPROM (320 B write-protected), 8 kB SRAM - sufficient for embedded logging firmware and data retention |
| Power Modes | Five states: Active, Sleep, Deep-sleep, Deep power-down, Battery-off; <50 nA in battery-off mode extends shelf life |
| NFC Interface | ISO 14443 Type A, NFC Forum Type 2 certified (ID 58516); enables passive readout without battery connection |
| Supply Range | 1.72–3.6 V battery (VDDBAT) or NFC-field powered; automatic source selection with priority to VDDBAT when both present |
| I/O Capability | 12 configurable GPIO pins; four support 20 mA sink drive; I²C pins also support 20 mA sink; open-drain SCL/SDA |
Pinout & Package
HVQFN24 package (SOT616-3), 4 × 4 × 0.85 mm, thermally enhanced, leadless. Pin functions are software-assigned via IOCON registers; physical pads include dedicated NFC antenna terminals (LA/LB), wake-up input (PIO0_0/WAKEUP), reset (RESETN), and dual-power supply (VDDBAT/VSS).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| LA / LB | NFC antenna interface | Direct connection points for external NFC coil; enable passive operation and NFC-triggered wake-up |
| VDDBAT | Battery supply input | Accepts 1.72–3.6 V; powers internal LDOs and digital/analog domains when active |
| RESETN | Active-low reset input | Asynchronous reset with weak pull-up to VDDBAT or NFC voltage; initiates full power-up sequence |
| PIO0_0 / WAKEUP | Deep power-down wake source | Configurable edge/level-sensitive input; must be pulled LOW ≥100 μs to exit deep power-down |
| PIO0_4 / SCL PIO0_5 / SDA |
I²C bus interface | Open-drain, no internal pull-up/pull-down; supports 400 kbit/s fast-mode communication with external sensors or hosts |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NFC-powered operation | Enables zero-battery deployment in disposable tags; full functionality (sensor read, memory access, NFC command processing) without external power |
| Ultra-low-power temperature logging | Combines ±0.3 °C sensor accuracy with <50 nA battery-off current - ideal for multi-year unattended cold-chain monitoring |
| Software-configurable GPIO | All 12 PIO0 pins support runtime reassignment (GPIO/peripheral), pull-up/down, repeater mode, and hysteresis control via IOCON registers |
| Dual-clock domain isolation | 32 kHz TFRO powers RTC and PMU independently; 8 MHz SFRO drives CPU/peripherals - ensures timing integrity during dynamic clock scaling |
| Secure device identity | Factory-programmed unique serial number enables tamper-resistant asset tracking and firmware binding in deployed units |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar temperature-monitoring NFC tag applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ST25DV04K | EEPROM-based NFC tag IC with integrated temperature sensor (±2 °C accuracy); no MCU, no programmable firmware, no RTC or logging capability | Suitable only for single-point temperature snapshot on NFC read; cannot perform autonomous logging or complex decision logic | Select when cost and simplicity outweigh accuracy and programmability needs; not suitable for cold-chain validation requiring traceable history. |
| ATSHA204A + ATtiny412 | Discrete security IC + ultra-low-power MCU; requires external temperature sensor (e.g., TMP117), PCB layout, and power management design | Offers higher flexibility and precision but increases BOM count, size, and qualification effort versus integrated NHS3100TEMODBUL | Choose when cryptographic authentication or custom analog front-end integration is mandatory; accept added design complexity and test overhead. |
Compared with ST25DV04K and ATSHA204A+ATtiny412, NHS3100TEMODBUL uniquely integrates MCU, sensor, NFC, and ultra-low-power management in one die - enabling certified, self-contained, firmware-upgradable temperature logging without external components or layout dependencies.

FAQ
What power sources does the NHS3100TEMODBUL support?
The NHS3100TEMODBUL operates from either a 1.72–3.6 V battery connected to VDDBAT or passively from an NFC reader field via LA/LB terminals. Its PMU automatically selects the source, prioritizing VDDBAT when both are present. In NFC-only mode, it delivers full functionality - sensor read, memory access, and command processing - without any battery.
How accurate is the integrated temperature sensor in NHS3100TEMODBUL?
The NHS3100TEMODBUL's on-die temperature sensor achieves ±0.3 °C absolute accuracy between 0 °C and +45 °C, ±0.5 °C from −40 °C to 0 °C, and ±0.5 °C from +45 °C to +85 °C. This specification is factory-tested and guaranteed - no external calibration is needed for cold-chain validation within the 2–8 °C pharmaceutical range.
Can NHS3100TEMODBUL perform autonomous temperature logging without NFC interaction?
Yes. NHS3100TEMODBUL supports fully autonomous logging using its internal RTC and programmable firmware. It can sample temperature at user-defined intervals (e.g., every 2 minutes), store readings in EEPROM, and retain data across power cycles - all while consuming <50 nA in battery-off mode until awakened by RTC alarm, NFC field, or WAKEUP pin assertion.
Is NHS3100TEMODBUL NFC Forum certified?
Yes. The NHS3100TEMODBUL is NFC Forum Type 2 certified with certification ID 58516, issued September 22, 2017. This ensures interoperability with all standard NFC readers and smartphones, and guarantees conformance to NFC Data Exchange Format (NDEF) messaging, anti-collision, and RF performance requirements.
What development tools support firmware programming of NHS3100TEMODBUL?
NHS3100TEMODBUL is programmed using industry-standard Arm Cortex-M0+ toolchains, including Keil MDK, ARM GCC, and IAR Embedded Workbench. Debugging is supported via Serial Wire Debug (SWD) using standard probes (e.g., Segger J-Link). NXP provides SDKs, example projects, and configuration utilities targeting the NHS3100 family specifically.
