Product details
Overview
ST25DV04KC-IE6T3 from STMicroelectronics is a dynamic NFC/RFID tag IC with 4-Kbit EEPROM, dual I²C and ISO/IEC 15693 contactless interfaces, 1.8–5.5 V supply, 256-byte fast-transfer buffer, and energy harvesting output (VEH). It operates as a secure, field-powered memory node in smart labels, industrial asset tags, and IoT sensor nodes requiring battery-free configuration.
For engineers reviewing the ST25DV04KC-IE6T3 datasheet, ST25DV04KC-IE6T3 pinout, ST25DV04KC-IE6T3 application, or ST25DV04KC-IE6T3 equivalent, key selection criteria include RF/I²C dual-interface coherency, 4-Kbit user EEPROM organization (128 blocks × 4 bytes / 512 bytes), configurable GPO interrupt behavior, and support for NFC Forum Type 5 certification and ISO/IEC 15693 subcarrier modes.
Technical Context
The device implements a dual-domain architecture: an I²C interface (up to 1 MHz) accesses memory byte-wise, while the RF interface (ISO/IEC 15693 compliant) accesses memory in 4-byte blocks. Internal 28.5 pF tuning capacitance enables direct antenna coil connection without external matching components.
It features a 256-byte volatile mailbox buffer enabling fast transfer mode between RF and I²C domains, and supports three 64-bit RF passwords plus one 64-bit I²C password for granular area-level read/write protection across four user memory areas - all managed via system configuration registers protected by a dedicated 64-bit configuration password.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory capacity | 4-Kbit EEPROM = 512 bytes (I²C) / 128 blocks × 4 bytes (RF) |
| I²C interface speed | Up to 1 MHz - enables high-speed wired configuration without bus contention |
| RF protocol compliance | ISO/IEC 15693 & NFC Forum Type 5 certified - ensures interoperability with standard NFC readers |
| Fast transfer buffer | 256-byte volatile mailbox - eliminates latency when synchronizing RF-initiated updates with host MCU |
| Energy harvesting output | VEH analog pin - delivers unregulated RF-derived voltage to power external sensors or logic (e.g., wake-up circuitry) |
| Data retention | 40 years at 25 °C - guarantees long-term firmware or calibration data persistence in maintenance-free deployments |
| Write endurance | 1 million cycles at 25 °C - supports frequent reprogramming in field-upgradable devices |
Pinout & Package
ST25DV04KC-IE6T3 is supplied in UFDFPN8 package (ECOPACK2, RoHS-compliant), 2 × 3 mm, 0.5 mm pitch, with exposed pad (EP) left floating. Pin functions are validated per DS13519 Rev 8 Figure 4.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VEH | Energy harvesting analog output | Delivers unregulated RF-derived voltage; high-Z when field weak or EH disabled - usable for passive wake-up of companion ICs |
| AC0 / AC1 | RF antenna coil terminals | Differential inputs for 13.56 MHz LC tank; internal 28.5 pF tuning capacitance reduces external component count |
| VSS | Ground reference | Common return for VCC, VDCG, and VEH; must be low-impedance for stable RF demodulation and I²C signaling |
| VCC | DC supply input | 1.8–5.5 V wired power source; internal regulator isolates VCC from rectified RF supply - prevents backfeed |
| GPO | Configurable interrupt output | Open-drain output (pull-up ≥4.7 kΩ required); signals RF field change, memory write completion, or mailbox activity |
| SCL | I²C serial clock input | Strobes I²C data; requires external pull-up; supports clock stretching during internal write cycles |
| SDA | I²C bidirectional data line | Open-drain I/O; wire-OR capable; pull-up required; acknowledges address and data phases per I²C spec |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ISO/IEC 15693 dual-interface coherence | Same user memory mapped as 512 bytes (I²C) and 128 blocks (RF) - enables seamless cross-interface data consistency |
| Four-area memory protection | Independent 64-bit RF passwords per area + 1× I²C password - allows differentiated access control for firmware, config, logs, and calibration data |
| Configurable GPO interrupt | Single pin reports RF field presence, memory write completion, or fast-transfer mailbox status - reduces GPIO usage on host MCU |
| Fast transfer mode | 256-byte volatile buffer enables atomic RF-to-I²C data handoff - avoids race conditions during concurrent interface access |
| Energy harvesting capability | VEH pin provides usable analog voltage under RF field - powers low-quiescent circuits without battery or wired supply |
Applications
| Smart Asset Tagging | Industrial Sensor Calibration |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dynamic NFC tag applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NXP NT3H2111W0FHKH | 1-Kbyte EEPROM, no energy harvesting output, fixed 7-bit I²C address (0x57), no LPD pin | Lacks VEH and fast transfer buffer; limited to simpler NFC-only use cases without wired coordination | Select when only basic NFC tag functionality is needed and I²C host coordination is unnecessary |
| ON Semiconductor N24RF04 | 4-Kbit EEPROM, I²C-only interface (no RF), no GPO or energy harvesting, SOIC-8 package | Requires separate NFC transceiver IC for contactless access; no integrated RF front-end or antenna tuning | Select when full control over timing and security is required via wired-only interface and external RF solution |
Compared with NT3H2111W0FHKH and N24RF04, ST25DV04KC-IE6T3 uniquely integrates ISO/IEC 15693 RF + I²C dual access, energy harvesting, and 256-byte mailbox - enabling true battery-free, self-synchronizing smart tags where RF initiates and I²C validates.

FAQ
What is the function of the VEH pin, and what load can it drive?
The VEH pin delivers unregulated analog voltage derived from the RF field strength. It operates in high-Z state when the RF field is absent or insufficient. Per DS13519 Rev 8 Section 2.5, it is not current-limited or regulated - typical output is ~1.2–3.3 V depending on field strength and antenna coupling. It can drive ultra-low-power comparators or reset supervisors drawing ≤10 µA; external regulation is required for higher loads.
How does memory addressing differ between I²C and RF interfaces?
I²C accesses user memory as 512 contiguous bytes (0x0000–0x01FF), supporting sequential reads without rollover. RF accesses the same memory as 128 blocks of 4 bytes each (0x0000–0x007F), where each block maps to 4 consecutive I²C bytes. For example, RF Block 0x00 contains I²C bytes 0x0000–0x0003. Extended RF commands allow full memory access; standard commands are limited to first 256 blocks.
Can the GPO pin be used to wake up an external microcontroller?
Yes. The GPO pin can be configured to assert on RF field detection, memory write completion, or fast-transfer mailbox events. In open-drain configuration (as on UFDFPN8), it requires an external pull-up resistor (≥4.7 kΩ). When asserted, it can serve as a wake-up interrupt for an MCU in deep-sleep mode - confirmed in DS13519 Section 2.4.2 and Figure 4 pinout.
What is the purpose of the LPD pin, and is it present on ST25DV04KC-IE6T3?
The LPD (Low Power Down) pin disables the internal 1.8 V regulator to reduce standby current below 1 µA. However, ST25DV04KC-IE6T3 in UFDFPN8 package does not include LPD - this pin is exclusive to WLCSP10 and UFDFPN12 packages per Table 1 and Table 3 of DS13519 Rev 8. The IE6T3 variant uses open-drain GPO and lacks LPD functionality.
