Product details
Overview
ST25DV64KC-IE6T3 from STMicroelectronics is a dynamic NFC/RFID tag IC with dual I²C and ISO/IEC 15693 contactless interfaces, 64 Kbit EEPROM, 256-byte fast-transfer buffer, and energy harvesting output (VEH). It operates from 1.8–5.5 V, supports 1 MHz I²C, and delivers up to 53 Kbit/s RF read speed - deployed in smart labels, industrial asset tags, and NFC-enabled sensor nodes requiring secure, battery-free memory access.
For engineers reviewing the ST25DV64KC-IE6T3 datasheet, ST25DV64KC-IE6T3 pinout, ST25DV64KC-IE6T3 application, or ST25DV64KC-IE6T3 equivalent, key selection criteria include RF/I²C dual-interface coordination, configurable password-protected memory areas, GPO event signaling (field change, write completion), and package-specific LPD/VDCG support for low-power operation.
Technical Context
This IC implements a hybrid architecture: the I²C interface accesses memory byte-wise (8192 bytes), while the RF interface accesses it block-wise (2048 × 4-byte blocks), both referencing the same physical EEPROM array. The 256-byte volatile mailbox enables deterministic fast transfer between interfaces without host intervention.
It integrates an analog front-end with 28.5 pF internal tuning capacitance, supports all ISO/IEC 15693 modulation/coding modes (1.66/26.48/52.97 kbit/s), and features dual-password protection - three 64-bit RF passwords (per memory area) plus one 64-bit I²C password - enforced at register level during access attempts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory capacity | 64 Kbit EEPROM = 8192 bytes (I²C) / 2048 blocks × 4 bytes (RF); enables firmware metadata storage or multi-sensor calibration tables. |
| I²C interface | 1 MHz two-wire protocol with open-drain SDA/SCL; supports multi-byte writes up to 256 bytes per transaction for efficient configuration loading. |
| RF interface | ISO/IEC 15693 & NFC Forum Type 5 certified; full subcarrier/modulation/data rate compatibility ensures interoperability with standard NFC readers. |
| Write endurance | 1 million cycles at 25 °C; de-rates to 400k at 125 °C - validated for high-temp industrial tagging applications with frequent reprogramming. |
| Data retention | 40 years at 85 °C; guarantees long-term integrity of calibration data or device identity stored in EEPROM without refresh. |
| Energy harvesting | VEH analog output delivers unregulated RF-derived voltage to power external sensors or logic - eliminates need for local battery in passive nodes. |
| GPO functionality | Configurable interrupt pin signals RF field presence, memory write completion, or fast-transfer events; open-drain (SO8/TSSOP8/UFDFPN8) or CMOS (WLCSP10/UFDFPN12). |
Pinout & Package
ST25DV64KC-IE6T3 is supplied in UFDFPN8 package (8-pin, 2 mm × 2 mm, 0.5 mm pitch, ECOPACK2 RoHS-compliant), featuring open-drain GPO and no LPD/VDCG pins - optimized for compact NFC tag designs where low standby current is managed externally.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VEH | Energy harvesting analog output | Delivers unregulated RF-derived voltage to power external circuitry; high-Z when RF field is absent or insufficient. |
| AC0 / AC1 | RF antenna coil connections | Differential inputs for external LC tank; require precise impedance matching to 28.5 pF internal capacitance for optimal 13.56 MHz coupling. |
| VSS | Ground reference | Common return for VCC, VEH, and RF analog front-end; must be low-impedance to minimize noise on RF and I²C paths. |
| VCC | DC supply input | 1.8–5.5 V wired power source; powers I²C interface and internal logic; internal regulator isolates VCC from RF rectified supply. |
| GPO | General-purpose open-drain output | Signals RF field detection, memory write completion, or fast-transfer status; requires external pull-up ≥4.7 kΩ to function. |
| SCL | I²C serial clock input | Master-generated clock; open-drain structure mandates external pull-up; synchronizes all I²C data transfers. |
| SDA | I²C serial data bidirectional | Open-drain bidirectional line; supports multi-master arbitration and clock stretching during EEPROM write cycles. |
| VCC (pin 8) | Supply voltage (redundant connection) | Second VCC pad in UFDFPN8 improves thermal dissipation and reduces DC resistance in high-volume PCB layouts. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast transfer mode | 256-byte volatile buffer enables zero-latency handoff of data between I²C host and RF reader - critical for real-time sensor log synchronization. |
| Four configurable memory areas | Each area independently protected by RF/I²C passwords; allows segmented access control - e.g., public UID + private calibration + encrypted firmware + read-only config. |
| NFC Forum Type 5 certification | Guarantees interoperability with Android/iOS NFC stacks and enterprise-grade readers without proprietary driver development. |
| Temperature range | –40 °C to 105 °C (RF interface limited to 105 °C); qualified for under-hood automotive tagging and factory-floor industrial environments. |
| Low-power RF management | I²C can disable RF command interpreter or force immediate RF switch-off - prevents unintended reads during host firmware updates. |

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-IE6T3 | 16 Kbit EEPROM (2048 bytes), identical pinout and feature set except reduced memory size and lower write endurance (600k @ 85 °C). | Suitable for simpler tagging needs like basic UID + firmware version; insufficient for multi-sensor log storage or large calibration datasets. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs memory scalability; retains full software compatibility and footprint interchangeability. |
| NXP NT3H2211W0FHKH | 1 Kbyte EEPROM, NFC Forum Type 2 compliant (not ISO/IEC 15693), no I²C interface, no energy harvesting, no fast transfer buffer. | Limited to simple read/write NFC use cases (e.g., marketing tags); lacks dual-interface coordination and secure multi-area protection. | Choose only for ultra-low-cost, single-interface consumer applications where RF-only access and minimal memory suffice. |
Compared with ST25DV16KC-IE6T3, the ST25DV64KC-IE6T3 provides 4× more EEPROM and extended high-temp endurance - essential for industrial logging. Versus NT3H2211, it adds I²C control, energy harvesting, and ISO/IEC 15693 robustness - making it viable for mission-critical embedded NFC systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum RF data rate supported by ST25DV64KC-IE6T3?
The device supports ISO/IEC 15693-defined data rates up to 52.97 kbit/s in high-speed mode, with custom fast read achieving 53 Kbit/s. This is measured under standard 13.56 MHz carrier conditions with compliant reader field strength and antenna tuning - no firmware or host-side acceleration required.
Can the GPO pin wake up an external microcontroller?
Yes - the GPO pin can be configured to output a positive pulse upon RF field detection or memory write completion. When connected to a microcontroller's external interrupt pin with appropriate pull-up, this pulse reliably triggers wake-up from deep sleep, enabling ultra-low-power sensor tag architectures.
How does the 256-byte fast transfer buffer operate between I²C and RF interfaces?
The buffer functions as a shared mailbox: I²C writes data into it, then triggers an RF-side "fast read" command; conversely, RF writes populate it for subsequent I²C read. No host CPU involvement is needed - the hardware automates handoff, reducing latency to <100 µs for 256-byte transfers.
Is energy harvesting output (VEH) regulated or current-limited?
No - VEH is an unregulated analog output derived directly from the RF rectifier. Its voltage scales with field strength and antenna coupling efficiency, and it sources no defined current limit. External regulation (e.g., LDO) and current limiting must be implemented in the load circuit to prevent damage.
