Product details
Overview
P60D144PA4/9A24AFJ from NXP Semiconductors is a secure high-performance dual-interface smart card controller featuring 144 KB EEPROM, 384 KB ROM, and 8.125 KB RAM. It integrates SmartMX2 CPU, Fame2 RSA/ECC coprocessor, and symmetric block cipher (AES/Triple-DES) hardware acceleration. Designed for e-passports, ID cards, and contactless banking, it supports concurrent ISO/IEC 7816 (T=0/T=1) and ISO/IEC 14443A (106–848 kbit/s) operation across 1.62–5.5 V supply.
For engineers reviewing the P60D144PA4/9A24AFJ datasheet, P60D144PA4/9A24AFJ pinout, P60D144PA4/9A24AFJ application, or P60D144PA4/9A24AFJ equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-interface concurrency, Common Criteria–certified security architecture, 25-year EEPROM data retention, AIS-31–compliant TRNG, and support for MIFARE Plus/DESFire EV1 optional firmware.
Technical Context
The P60D144PA4/9A24AFJ implements a modular SmartMX2 architecture with orthogonal 8-/16-/24-/32-bit CPU instructions optimized for low-power secured smart card execution. Its Fame2 coprocessor delivers accelerated RSA/ECC operations, while the SBC interface supports parallel AES and Triple-DES key/data register loading.
Hardware security includes active/dynamic shielding, multi-sensor fault detection (voltage, temperature, clock, light), electronic fuses, and memory protection via MMU with System/User mode separation. The device enables true concurrent contact and contactless communication without resource contention, backed by CRC-16/32 coprocessors and watchdog timer for secure code execution.

Its security architecture includes active/dynamic shielding, multi-sensor fault detection (voltage, temperature, clock, light), electronic fuses, and memory protection via MMU with System/User mode separation-all verified per the SmartMX2 platform certification. These features are integral to the P60D144PA4/9A24AFJ silicon design and documented in NXP's official CC certification reports.
Does the P60D144PA4/9A24AFJ support both contact and contactless interfaces simultaneously?
Yes, the P60D144PA4/9A24AFJ supports fully concurrent ISO/IEC 7816 (T=0/T=1) and ISO/IEC 14443A (106–848 kbit/s) operation without resource contention. This is enabled by dedicated hardware blocks-including separate UART and CIU controllers-and Copy Machine DMA engines that offload data movement from the CPU. The P60D144PA4/9A24AFJ achieves true parallelism, allowing simultaneous contact-based personalization and contactless transaction processing.
What is the usable EEPROM capacity of the P60D144PA4/9A24AFJ for customer applications?
The P60D144PA4/9A24AFJ provides 146,944 bytes of usable EEPROM for customer OS and applications, excluding reserved areas for MIFARE Plus and DESFire EV1 implementations. This figure includes 78 bytes within protected security areas (14 B write-protected, 32 B write-once, 32 B read-only). Data retention is guaranteed for 25 years with 500,000 write cycles-verified per JEDEC JESD22-A117 standard and specified in the P60D144PA4/9A24AFJ datasheet.
Can the P60D144PA4/9A24AFJ execute MIFARE Plus or DESFire EV1 firmware?
Yes, the P60D144PA4/9A24AFJ supports optional implementation of MIFARE Plus and MIFARE DESFire EV1 functionality via firmware loaded into its EEPROM. This capability is explicitly confirmed in the SmartMX2 P60 family documentation and enables application convergence-allowing a single P60D144PA4/9A24AFJ platform to serve transit, access control, and loyalty use cases without hardware modification.
What package type is used for the P60D144PA4/9A24AFJ?
The P60D144PA4/9A24AFJ is supplied in MOB4 package: a contactless chip card module in super 35 mm tape format with 320 μm thickness and SOT500-2 footprint. This package omits contact pads and is optimized for thin, flexible contactless cards-distinct from dual-interface variants like P60D144PX1 (PDM1.1, 8-contact). The MOB4 form factor is defined in NXP's official ordering information table for P60D144PA4/9A24AFJ.
