Product details
Overview
ST25DV04K-IER8S3 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 configurable GPO interrupt output. It serves as a secure, dual-interface memory bridge in smart labels, asset tags, and industrial IoT nodes requiring field-updatable configuration data.
For engineers reviewing the ST25DV04K-IER8S3 datasheet, ST25DV04K-IER8S3 pinout, ST25DV04K-IER8S3 application, or ST25DV04K-IER8S3 equivalent, key selection criteria include RF/I²C coexistence timing, 4-byte block vs. byte addressing alignment, GPO open-drain drive capability, energy harvesting analog output (VEH), and multi-password memory protection architecture.
Technical Context
The device implements a dual-world memory controller: I²C accesses 512 bytes of user EEPROM as linear byte-addressed space, while RF operates on 128 blocks of 4 bytes each per ISO/IEC 15693. A dedicated 256-byte volatile mailbox enables atomic fast-transfer mode between interfaces without host intervention.
Its RF front end integrates 28.5 pF internal tuning capacitance and supports all ISO/IEC 15693 modulation/coding modes up to 53 Kbit/s read rate. The GPO pin-configured as open-drain in this variant-signals RF field change, memory write completion, or mailbox activity via programmable event masking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| I²C Interface | Up to 1 MHz clock rate; enables direct microcontroller access to EEPROM without RF field dependency. |
| RF Interface | ISO/IEC 15693 compliant; supports all sub-carrier modes and data rates; certified NFC Forum Type 5 tag. |
| User Memory | 4-Kbit (512 bytes) EEPROM; organized as 128 × 4-byte blocks for RF, byte-addressable for I²C. |
| Write Endurance | 1 million cycles at 25 °C; 600 k at 85 °C; ensures long-term reliability in field-programmable applications. |
| Data Retention | 40 years at 25 °C; critical for archival tagging and maintenance-log storage in unpowered environments. |
| Supply Voltage | 1.8–5.5 V DC; accommodates wide-range industrial power rails and battery-backed systems. |
| Energy Harvesting | VEH analog output delivers unregulated RF-derived voltage to power external sensors or logic when field strength permits. |
Pinout & Package
ST25DV04K-IER8S3 is supplied in an 8-pin UFDFPN package (2.0 × 2.0 mm, 0.4 mm pitch) with ECOPACK2 RoHS compliance. Pin 1 is marked by a dot; exposed pad (EP) is present and must be left floating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AC0 / AC1 | RF antenna interface | Differential inputs for external LC tank; no DC path allowed; internal 28.5 pF tuning capacitance reduces external component count. |
| VCC | DC supply input | 1.8–5.5 V wired power source; powers I²C interface and internal regulator; isolated from RF rectified supply. |
| VSS | Ground reference | Common return for VCC, VDCG, and VEH; defines analog zero for energy harvesting output. |
| SDA | I²C bidirectional data | Open-drain I/O; requires external pull-up; supports multi-master arbitration and byte-level EEPROM reads/writes. |
| SCL | I²C clock input | Input-only clock line; synchronizes I²C transactions; rise time governed by pull-up resistor and bus capacitance. |
| GPO | Configurable interrupt output | Open-drain output; signals RF events (field detect, write complete, mailbox ready); requires ≥4.7 kΩ external pull-up. |
| VEH | Energy harvesting analog output | Unregulated analog voltage derived from RF field; high-Z when inactive; powers auxiliary circuitry without separate supply. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast Transfer Mode | 256-byte volatile mailbox enables synchronous, low-latency data exchange between I²C host and RF reader without polling overhead. |
| Multi-Area Memory Protection | Four user-configurable memory areas, each independently protected by up to three 64-bit RF passwords and one 64-bit I²C password. |
| NFC Forum Type 5 Certification | Guarantees interoperability with certified readers and mobile devices; eliminates protocol compatibility validation effort. |
| Dynamic Register Access | Real-time status registers (e.g., RF activity, mailbox full flag) readable via both I²C and RF-enables responsive system-level event handling. |
| Low-Power RF Boot | RF interface achieves operational readiness within tBootRF (typ. <1 ms); supports rapid wake-on-field scenarios in battery-constrained designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-interface NFC tag applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ST25DV16K-IER8S3 | 16-Kbit EEPROM (2048 bytes), same pinout and feature set; higher memory density with identical timing and protection architecture. | Required where >512 bytes of field-updatable data is needed-e.g., multi-parameter calibration tables or extended audit logs. | Select when memory scalability is prioritized over cost-sensitive, minimal-data use cases. |
| NXH3670UK/V1 | Integrated NFC controller + 2-Kbit EEPROM; lacks I²C interface; supports only RF access and proprietary energy harvesting management. | Targeted at ultra-low-cost, single-interface NFC tags without wired update capability or complex memory partitioning. | Choose only if I²C connectivity and multi-area password protection are unnecessary and BOM simplification is critical. |
Compared with ST25DV16K-IER8S3, this part offers lower memory cost and footprint for simple 4-Kbit needs; versus NXH3670UK/V1, it provides essential I²C configurability and robust RF/I²C coexistence-critical for industrial-grade dual-access systems.

FAQ
What is the function of the VEH pin, and how is it used in practice?
The VEH pin delivers an unregulated analog voltage harvested from the RF field, usable to power external low-current circuitry like sensors or comparators. It enters high-Z state when RF field strength is insufficient or energy harvesting is disabled. Designers must size external loads to match expected VEH range (typically 1.2–3.3 V under nominal field conditions) and include local decoupling.
How does memory protection work across I²C and RF interfaces?
User memory is divided into up to four configurable areas, each protected independently: RF access uses three 64-bit passwords (per area), while I²C uses one 64-bit password. System configuration-including ENDA registers and UID-is secured by a separate 64-bit RF and I²C password. Passwords are stored in dedicated EEPROM blocks and validated before any protected access.
Can ST25DV04K-IER8S3 operate without a wired VCC supply?
Yes-the device functions fully in contactless mode using only RF power. VCC is optional and used only when I²C access is required. In RF-only operation, internal rectification powers the digital core, EEPROM, and GPO. The VCC pin remains isolated and does not source current during RF operation.
What distinguishes the "IER8S3" suffix in the part number?
The "IER8S3" suffix denotes the 8-pin UFDFPN package (S3), open-drain GPO (E), industrial temperature range (I: –40 to +85 °C), and RoHS-compliant ECOPACK2 finish (R). It confirms the device uses the standard I²C address (50h–57h) and supports all base ST25DV04K features without LPD or VDCG pins-differentiating it from JF (CMOS GPO) or WLCSP variants.
