Product details
Overview
SLE 55R04 MCC2 from Infineon Technologies is an ISO/IEC 14443 Type A contactless smart card IC with 770-byte EEPROM, integrated security logic, 13.56 MHz RF interface, 106 kbit/s data rate, and support for up to 14 key pairs - deployed in secure transit fare cards and e-government ID systems.
For engineers reviewing the SLE 55R04 datasheet, SLE 55R04 pinout, SLE 55R04 application, or SLE 55R04 equivalent, key selection criteria include sector-based hierarchical authentication, anti-tearing value counters, unchangeable access conditions in user mode, CRC/MAC data integrity, and configurable 1–15 sector memory layout.
Technical Context
The SLE 55R04 integrates a dedicated analog contactless interface (rectifier, voltage regulator, clock extractor, ASK demodulator) and a crypto unit supporting mutual 64-bit challenge/response authentication with SAM-side MAC calculation. Its control unit implements ISO/IEC 14443-3 bit-oriented anticollision for 4- or 7-byte UID cascade levels.
Memory is partitioned into Service Area (4 pages), Key Area (configurable up to 14 key pairs), and User Area (up to 15 sectors, each configurable 1–77 pages). Only one sector may be opened per session, and page-level access rights are enforced per key.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: MCC2-2-1 module form factor for embedding in plastic contactless cards; no leadframe or solder pads - antenna terminals LA and LB are bond pads on die or internal coil connections in module.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| LA | Antenna terminal A | Primary connection point for external LC tank circuit; forms resonant loop with LB |
| LB | Antenna terminal B | Secondary connection point completing antenna coil path; enables 13.56 MHz energy harvesting |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hierarchical key management | Two independent keys per sector enable multi-tier access control (e.g., issuer vs. application keys) |
| Configurable sector architecture | 1–15 sectors with programmable size (1–77 pages) supports mixed-use applications like transit + loyalty |
| Immutable access conditions | User-mode access rules locked after programming - prevents runtime privilege escalation |
| Unique chip serial number | Factory-programmed, non-rewritable UID ensures device-level traceability and anti-cloning |
| Anti-tearing counter operation | Atomic increment/decrement prevents partial updates during power loss in fare deduction |
Applications
| Public Transport Fare Card | Government E-ID Card |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Contactless tap-in/tap-out at metro gates with offline balance validation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secure storage of encrypted purse balance, transaction logs, and issuer certificates; performs mutual authentication with gate reader. Use Value: Anti-tearing counters prevent fare deduction corruption during RF field dropout; sector isolation separates transport and loyalty data. | Use Scenario: National ID issuance with biometric template storage and digital signature capability. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Stores protected citizen identity attributes, PKI keys, and revocation status; enforces strict read/write permissions per government policy. Use Value: Immutable access conditions and SAM-mediated MAC ensure tamper-proof credential integrity across lifecycle. |
| Secure Access Badge | Electronic Ticketing System |
Use Scenario: Physical access control for corporate facilities using multi-factor authentication. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Holds encrypted employee profile, time-based access windows, and audit trail; authenticates against on-site SAM. Use Value: Configurable key pairs allow department-level key hierarchies without reissuing cards. | Use Scenario: Event admission with dynamic ticket validation and seat assignment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Stores encrypted ticket metadata, usage flags, and redemption timestamps; validates authenticity via reader-SAM handshake. Use Value: 10 cm operating distance enables fast throughput at venue entrances; CRC/MAC prevents replay or modification attacks. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar contactless secure memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SLI52R04 (Infineon) | Same architecture but 1 kB EEPROM; enhanced SAM interface timing; identical pinout and protocol | Better suited for multi-application cards requiring larger certificate stores or extended audit logs | Select when >770 bytes persistent secure storage is required without changing system RF stack |
| Mifare DESFire EV1 (NXP) | Supports AES-128 instead of proprietary 64-bit crypto; native file system; higher data rate (848 kbit/s) | Designed for complex multi-application ecosystems (banking, transit, campus) with dynamic file creation | Choose for interoperability with existing MIFARE infrastructure or AES compliance mandates |
Compared with SLI52R04, SLE 55R04 offers lower memory cost and simpler key management for single-purpose cards; versus MIFARE DESFire EV1, it provides deterministic low-latency authentication ideal for high-throughput transit gates but lacks file abstraction and AES.

FAQ
What is the maximum number of sectors supported by SLE 55R04?
SLE 55R04 supports 1 to 15 configurable sectors in its User Area. Each sector can be sized from 1 to 77 pages (10 bytes/page), with total EEPROM capacity fixed at 770 bytes. The Service Area occupies 4 fixed pages and is not user-configurable.
Does SLE 55R04 require an external power source?
No. SLE 55R04 is a passive contactless IC that derives all operating power from the 13.56 MHz RF field generated by the reader antenna. Its integrated rectifier and voltage regulator convert induced AC into stable DC supply for internal circuitry.
How is authentication performed between SLE 55R04 and the reader?
Authentication requires a Security Access Module (SAM) at the reader side. The SAM and SLE 55R04 perform mutual 64-bit challenge/response using a shared secret key. Data integrity is verified via 32-bit MAC calculated post-authentication, with CRC-16 used for command/response framing.
Can the unique serial number be rewritten or cloned?
No. The 4- or 7-byte UID is factory-programmed, physically fused, and permanently unchangeable. It is used as a non-repudiable input to the authentication algorithm and cannot be altered, duplicated, or emulated by software or hardware means.
