NXP Semiconductors NT2H1001G0DUDV

Overview

NT2H1001G0DUDV from NXP Semiconductors is an NFC Forum Type 2 Tag compliant contactless IC designed for mass-market smart tagging applications. It operates at 13.56 MHz, delivers 106 kbit/s data transfer, provides 48 bytes of user EEPROM memory, and features a pre-programmed 7-byte UID with ECC-based originality signature for authentication. It is deployed in NFC shelf labels, product authentication tags, and mobile companion tags.

For engineers reviewing the NT2H1001G0DUDV datasheet, NT2H1001G0DUDV pinout, NT2H1001G0DUDV application, or NT2H1001G0DUDV equivalent, key selection considerations include its 50 pF input capacitance variant, 75 µm die thickness for ultrathin inlay integration, field-programmable page locking, anti-tearing support for capability container, and ISO/IEC 14443 Type A compliance.

Technical Context

The NT2H1001G0DUDV implements a fully integrated RF interface per ISO/IEC 14443 Type A, including rectifier, clock regenerator, POR, and voltage regulator - requiring no external components beyond an antenna coil. Its Digital Control Unit executes anticollision (cascade level 1 and 2), command interpretation (READ, WRITE, GET_VERSION, READ_SIG), and EEPROM interface control.

Memory organization comprises 64 bytes of EEPROM in 16 pages (4 bytes/page): 10 bytes reserved for UID and configuration, 4 bytes for capability container (CC), 16 bits for static lock bytes, and 48 bytes user memory (pages 04h–0Fh). All memory operations occur in the ACTIVE state, entered via SELECT or direct READ from address 0.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

NT2H1001G0DUDV is supplied as a bare die in FFC Bump packaging with 75 µm thickness on film frame carrier. It features two antenna terminals only - no conventional package pins - and requires direct wire bonding or flip-chip attachment to an external coil.

FAQ

What is the primary function of the NT2H1001G0DUDV in an NFC system?

The NT2H1001G0DUDV serves as a passive NFC Forum Type 2 Tag IC that receives power and exchanges data wirelessly via magnetic induction at 13.56 MHz. It stores up to 48 bytes of user data, authenticates origin via ECC signature, and supports field-programmable memory locking - enabling secure, maintenance-free tagging in retail, authentication, and interactive media applications. The NT2H1001G0DUDV requires no battery or external power source.

How does the 50 pF input capacitance of NT2H1001G0DUDV affect antenna design?

The 50 pF input capacitance of NT2H1001G0DUDV sets the resonant tuning point when paired with an external antenna coil, allowing greater flexibility in antenna geometry and substrate choice - especially for thicker or lossier materials like corrugated cardboard or laminated plastic. This value reduces sensitivity to parasitic capacitance variations compared to the 17 pF NT2L1001G0DUDV variant, improving yield in high-volume inlay production. NT2H1001G0DUDV must be matched to an antenna with corresponding inductance to achieve 13.56 MHz resonance.

Can the originality signature of NT2H1001G0DUDV be customized, and how is it verified?

Yes, the NT2H1001G0DUDV ships with a factory-programmed NXP ECC-based originality signature (32 bytes, secp128r1 curve), which can be unlocked using LOCK_SIG, replaced with a custom signature via WRITE_SIG, and permanently re-locked. Verification occurs offline in the NFC host device using NXP's published public key and standard ECDSA validation - no cloud dependency. The READ_SIG command retrieves the signature, and the process is supported by OpenSSL and other open crypto libraries per NXP Application Note AN11756.

What memory protection mechanisms does NT2H1001G0DUDV provide?

NT2H1001G0DUDV implements three hardware-enforced memory protections: (1) per-page read-only locking via static lock bytes (pages 03h–0Fh), (2) anti-tearing for capability container and lock bit writes to prevent corruption during power loss, and (3) factory-programmed UID and ECC signature stored in write-protected memory regions. These features allow selective data hardening - for example, locking product ID pages while leaving coupon redemption fields writable - without compromising overall memory usability.

Is NT2H1001G0DUDV compatible with standard NFC smartphones and readers?

Yes, NT2H1001G0DUDV is fully compliant with NFC Forum Type 2 Tag specification and ISO/IEC 14443 Type A, ensuring interoperability with all Android devices supporting Host Card Emulation (HCE), iOS devices with NFC reading capability (iPhone 7+), and commercial NFC readers like ACS ACR122U or Feitian SCL3711. It responds to standard commands (READ, WRITE, GET_VERSION, READ_SIG) and uses standard framing, CRC, and anticollision protocols - no proprietary drivers or firmware required for basic operation.
