Product details
Overview
ST25DV04KC-JF6D3 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, asset tags, and industrial IoT sensors where wired configuration and wireless read/write coexist.
For engineers reviewing the ST25DV04KC-JF6D3 datasheet, ST25DV04KC-JF6D3 pinout, ST25DV04KC-JF6D3 application, or ST25DV04KC-JF6D3 equivalent, key selection criteria include I²C-to-RF mailbox latency, RF write endurance at 105 °C, configurable password-protected memory areas, and GPO event triggering for host wake-up - all validated in DS13519 Rev 8.
Technical Context
This device implements a dual-interface architecture: the I²C interface accesses 512 bytes of EEPROM as byte-addressable memory, while the RF interface accesses the same storage as 128 blocks of 4 bytes each, compliant with ISO/IEC 15693 and NFC Forum Type 5. Internal tuning capacitance is fixed at 28.5 pF for antenna matching.
It features a dedicated 256-byte volatile buffer enabling fast transfer mode between interfaces, with GPO interrupt support for RF field change, memory write completion, and mailbox activity. The LPD pin enables sub-1 μA standby in 10-ball and 12-pin packages - not present in the 8-pin SO8/TSSOP8/UFDFPN8 variants like JF6D3.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory capacity | 4-Kbit (512 bytes) EEPROM, organized as 128 RF blocks × 4 bytes or 512 I²C byte addresses |
| I²C interface speed | Up to 1 MHz - supports high-speed configuration without bus arbitration delays |
| RF data rate | Up to 53 Kbit/s fast read - enables rapid tag interrogation in logistics scanning |
| Write endurance | 1 million cycles at 25 °C; 600k at 85 °C - validated for repeated firmware patching in field-deployed devices |
| Data retention | 40 years at 25 °C - ensures long-term calibration or serial number storage in medical devices |
| Supply voltage range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - interoperable with 3.3 V microcontrollers and legacy 5 V systems |
| Energy harvesting output | VEH analog pin delivers unregulated RF-derived voltage - powers low-current external comparators or wake-up circuits |
Pinout & Package
ST25DV04KC-JF6D3 is supplied in an 8-pin SO8N package (ECOPACK2, RoHS-compliant), featuring open-drain GPO output and no LPD or VDCG pins. Pin functions are electrically defined and mechanically fixed per DS13519 Figure 2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VEH | Energy harvesting analog output | Unregulated voltage source powered by RF field - requires external RC filter for stable biasing of ultra-low-power peripherals |
| AC0 / AC1 | RF antenna coil terminals | Differential inputs for 13.56 MHz LC tank - must be matched to 28.5 pF internal capacitance for optimal power transfer |
| VSS | Ground reference | Common return for VCC, VEH, and RF analog circuitry - requires low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling |
| VCC | DC supply input | 1.8–5.5 V wired power source - powers I²C logic and internal regulator; isolates RF rectified supply from VCC pin |
| GPO | Configurable open-drain interrupt output | Signals RF field presence, memory write completion, or mailbox status - requires external pull-up ≥4.7 kΩ |
| SCL | I²C clock input | Master-generated clock strobe - open-drain compatible; pull-up required to VCC |
| SDA | I²C bidirectional data line | Open-drain I/O shared across multiple devices - pull-up required to VCC; supports multi-master arbitration |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ISO/IEC 15693 & NFC Forum Type 5 compliance | Fully certified interoperability with standard NFC readers - eliminates protocol validation effort in consumer electronics integration |
| Four configurable password-protected memory areas | Enables segmented access control: e.g., Area 1 for calibration data (read-only RF), Area 2 for logs (I²C-write-only), Area 3 for user config (dual-interface R/W) |
| 256-byte fast-transfer buffer (mailbox) | Eliminates I²C-RF handshaking overhead - allows burst transfers of sensor metadata from MCU to NFC reader in <10 ms |
| RF-triggered GPO events | Wakes host MCU on field detection or memory write - reduces system-level polling power by >90% in battery-powered trackers |
| Internal 28.5 pF tuning capacitance | Reduces external BOM count - only antenna coil and optional trim capacitor needed for full ISO 15693 compliance |
Applications
| Smart Industrial Labels | Medical Device Calibration Tags |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Reusable metal-mount label on CNC tooling stores calibration offsets, usage counters, and maintenance history. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-interface EEPROM node: I²C updates calibration via PLC during setup; NFC reads data during tool change. Use Value: Eliminates manual data entry errors and enables traceable, tamper-evident calibration records with password-protected write zones. |
Use Scenario: Sterilizable tag on surgical instrument housing stores sterilization cycle count, last calibration date, and firmware version. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secure memory hub: I²C writes after calibration; NFC reads during pre-op check without opening sealed packaging. Use Value: Supports UDI compliance with 40-year data retention and RF write endurance up to 105 °C - survives repeated autoclaving. |
| Asset Tracking Beacons | IoT Sensor Node Configuration |
|
Use Scenario: Tamper-resistant tag on shipping container logs GPS coordinates, temperature excursions, and door-open events via connected MCU. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Field-powered data sink: RF writes event timestamps from MCU's GPO-triggered interrupts; I²C reads full log during depot download. Use Value: Enables offline logging with zero-battery design - energy harvesting powers MCU wake-up and timestamp writes during RF interrogation. |
Use Scenario: Configurable sensor node in HVAC duct monitors airflow, humidity, and particulate levels; settings updated via NFC during commissioning. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Configuration bridge: I²C loads sensor thresholds from MCU; NFC reads/writes parameters without disassembly or wiring. Use Value: Reduces field service time by 70% - technicians adjust setpoints using smartphones instead of laptop + USB adapter. |
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 | 2-Kbit EEPROM, no energy harvesting output, integrated 13.56 MHz oscillator for active mode | Lacks VEH pin and fast-transfer buffer - unsuitable for MCU wake-up or burst sensor data transfer | Select when compact size and lower cost outweigh need for energy harvesting or high-speed I²C-RF sync |
| ON Semiconductor N24RF04 | 4-Kbit EEPROM, I²C-only interface, no RF capability, 1.7–5.5 V supply | No contactless functionality - cannot serve as NFC-readable tag or field-powered node | Select only for pure wired EEPROM replacement where NFC is unnecessary |
Compared with NT3H2111W0FHKH and N24RF04, ST25DV04KC-JF6D3 uniquely combines 4-Kbit dual-interface memory, energy harvesting, and 256-byte mailbox - making it the sole choice for battery-free, high-throughput NFC-configurable edge nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum RF data rate supported by ST25DV04KC-JF6D3?
The device supports a custom fast read access mode up to 53 Kbit/s, verified per DS13519 Rev 8 Section 1.1. This exceeds standard ISO/IEC 15693 high-data-rate mode (26.48 Kbit/s) and enables rapid inventory scans in high-throughput logistics environments.
Does ST25DV04KC-JF6D3 support password protection for individual memory areas?
Yes - it provides three 64-bit RF passwords and one 64-bit I²C password, allowing independent read/write protection for up to four user memory areas. Area boundaries are configured via ENDA registers in the system configuration area, with granularity of 8 RF blocks (32 bytes).
Can the GPO pin be used to wake up an external microcontroller?
Yes - the GPO pin is configurable to assert on RF field detection, memory write completion, or fast-transfer buffer activity. In SO8N package (JF6D3), it is open-drain and requires an external pull-up; it drives a logic-high signal to wake a host MCU's external interrupt pin.
Is energy harvesting output regulated, and what load can it drive?
No - VEH is an unregulated analog output derived from the RF field. Per DS13519 Section 2.5, it enters high-Z state when RF field strength is insufficient. It can drive ultra-low-power circuits (e.g., comparators, reset ICs) drawing ≤10 µA; external regulation is required for higher loads.
