Product details
Overview
ST25DV04KC-JF6L3 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 battery-free operation and host-controlled RF access are required.
For engineers reviewing the ST25DV04KC-JF6L3 datasheet, ST25DV04KC-JF6L3 pinout, ST25DV04KC-JF6L3 application, or ST25DV04KC-JF6L3 equivalent, key selection criteria include I²C/RF dual-interface coordination, configurable GPO event triggering (field change, write completion), 4-byte block vs. byte addressing mapping, and LPD-enabled low-power mode support in WLCSP10/UFDFPN12 packages.
Technical Context
The device implements a dual-domain architecture: an I²C interface (up to 1 MHz) accesses EEPROM as byte-addressable memory (512 bytes), while the RF interface complies fully with ISO/IEC 15693 and NFC Forum Type 5, accessing the same memory as 128 blocks of 4 bytes each. Internal tuning capacitance is fixed at 28.5 pF for antenna matching.
It integrates a 256-byte volatile mailbox buffer enabling fast transfer mode between interfaces, plus configurable protection using three 64-bit RF passwords and one 64-bit I²C password. The GPO pin supports open-drain (SO8/TSSOP8/UFDFPN8) or CMOS (WLCSP10/UFDFPN12) output with LPD-triggered low-power mode in 10- and 12-pin variants.
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 host-side configuration without bus contention |
| RF interface standard | ISO/IEC 15693 & NFC Forum Type 5 certified - ensures interoperability with commercial NFC readers |

Pinout & Package
ST25DV04KC-JF6L3 is packaged in UFDFPN8 (8-pin, 2 × 2 mm, ECOPACK2), with open-drain GPO and no LPD/VDCG pins. This variant supports I²C and RF operation without low-power-down mode but includes all core functionality: VCC, VSS, SDA, SCL, AC0/AC1 antenna connections, VEH, and GPO.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | DC supply input | 1.8–5.5 V DC source; powers internal regulator and I²C logic; isolated from RF rectified supply |
| VSS | Ground reference | Common return for VCC, VEH, and analog front-end; must be low-impedance |
| SDA | I²C bidirectional data | Open-drain I/O requiring external pull-up; supports multi-master arbitration and clock stretching |
| SCL | I²C clock input | Input-only; synchronous timing reference for all I²C transactions including EEPROM writes |
| AC0 / AC1 | RF antenna interface | Differential inputs for external LC tank; internal 28.5 pF tuning capacitance simplifies matching network design |
| VEH | Energy harvesting output | Analog voltage output during RF field presence; high-Z when inactive - usable to wake auxiliary circuitry |
| GPO | Configurable interrupt output | Open-drain output; default triggers on RF field change; programmable for memory write completion or fast-transfer events |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-interface memory coherency | Single EEPROM array mapped identically to I²C byte addresses (0x0000–0x01FF) and RF block addresses (0x0000–0x007F), eliminating translation overhead |
| Configurable memory protection | Four user-defined memory areas, each independently protected by 64-bit RF passwords (three) and one 64-bit I²C password - enables tiered access control for OEM vs. end-user data |
| Fast transfer mode | 256-byte volatile buffer allows atomic read/write transfers between I²C and RF domains - critical for real-time sensor log synchronization |
| NFC Forum Type 5 certification | Guarantees compatibility with Android/iOS NFC readers and enterprise middleware without custom driver development |
| Field-powered operation | Operates with zero external power when RF field is active - enables maintenance-free smart labels on metal assets or rotating machinery |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dynamic NFC tag applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ST25DV16KC-JF6L3 | 16-Kbit EEPROM (2048 bytes / 512 RF blocks); identical pinout and feature set | Required when >512 bytes of field-updatable configuration or logging data is needed | Select when future firmware expansion or multi-sensor data storage justifies higher density and cost |
| NXH3670UK/N1E | NXP HF RFID tag with 2-Kbyte EEPROM, ISO15693, no I²C interface, no energy harvesting | Lacks wired interface and VEH output - unsuitable for host-coordinated or energy-harvesting use cases | Choose only for pure passive NFC tag applications where I²C control and auxiliary power are unnecessary |
Compared with ST25DV16KC-JF6L3, this part offers lower memory cost and footprint for minimal configuration storage; versus NXH3670UK/N1E, it adds essential I²C host control and energy harvesting-enabling hybrid wired/wireless system architectures.

FAQ
What is the maximum RF data rate supported by ST25DV04KC-JF6L3?
The device supports custom fast read access up to 53 Kbit/s over ISO/IEC 15693, achieved using extended commands and optimized subcarrier modulation. Standard read rates are 26.48 Kbit/s (high data rate) and 6.62 Kbit/s (low data rate), both compliant with NFC Forum Type 5 requirements and interoperable with common Android NFC readers.
Can the GPO pin be used to wake a microcontroller from deep sleep?
Yes - the GPO pin can be configured to assert on RF field detection or memory write completion. In UFDFPN8 packages, it operates as an open-drain output requiring an external pull-up resistor (>4.7 kΩ). When tied to a GPIO interrupt pin on a low-power MCU, it provides reliable wake-up signaling without additional level-shifting circuitry.
How does the 256-byte fast transfer buffer improve system responsiveness?
The buffer acts as a mailbox: I²C writes data into it, then triggers an RF-side notification; the NFC reader fetches the entire 256-byte payload in one fast-read transaction. This avoids sequential 4-byte block reads, reducing RF session time by >80% compared to direct block access - critical for handheld reader battery life and throughput in logistics scanning.
Is antenna tuning required when using the internal 28.5 pF capacitance?
Yes - the internal 28.5 pF capacitor is fixed and serves as a baseline; final tuning requires external parallel/series capacitors to achieve resonance at 13.56 MHz with the selected antenna coil's inductance and parasitic capacitance. ST provides recommended matching networks and layout guidelines in AN4919 to achieve >40% coupling efficiency and 50-mm read range.
