Product details
Overview
ST25DV-DISCOVERY from STMicroelectronics is a ready-to-use demonstration kit for evaluating the ST25DV04K dynamic NFC/RFID tag IC, featuring dual-interface operation (I²C + 13.56 MHz RF), 4-Kbit EEPROM, ISO/IEC 15693 and NFC Forum Type 5 compliance, and energy harvesting output (VOUT). It includes two PCBs: an STM32F405VGT6-based motherboard with color LCD, touch driver, LEDs, joystick, and on-board ST-LINK, plus a daughter card with etched Class 5 antenna and the ST25DV04K tag.
For engineers reviewing the ST25DV-DISCOVERY datasheet, ST25DV-DISCOVERY pinout, ST25DV-DISCOVERY application, or ST25DV-DISCOVERY equivalent, this kit supports rapid validation of NFC-enabled data logging, secure configuration transfer, contactless firmware update, and energy-harvesting sensor node prototyping using real-world RF coupling and I²C host control.
Technical Context
The kit implements a complete NFC tag evaluation platform where the ST25DV04K operates as both an I²C slave (address 0x53) and a contactless Type 5 tag, enabling simultaneous wired and wireless access to its 4-Kbit EEPROM. The RF interface supports fast read/write (up to 53 kbit/s), RF busy indication via GPO, and energy harvesting delivering up to 3 V at 1 mA under typical field conditions.
Host interaction is managed by the STM32F405VGT6 microcontroller running preloaded demonstration firmware that drives the LCD, processes joystick input, controls LED status, and orchestrates use cases including NFC-triggered BLE/Wi-Fi configuration handoff - available in the optional demonstration edition with integrated Bluetooth Low Energy and Wi-Fi® modules.

FAQ
What is the role of the ST25DV04K IC on the ANT_C5 board?
The ST25DV04K serves as a dual-interface dynamic NFC tag: it stores configuration or sensor data accessible via I²C from the STM32 host, and simultaneously exposes the same memory to NFC phones or RFID readers over 13.56 MHz RF. Its GPO pin signals RF activity, and its VOUT pin supplies harvested energy to external circuitry during field presence.
Does the ST25DV-DISCOVERY require external power to operate the NFC tag function?
No - the ST25DV04K on the ANT_C5 board operates in passive mode powered solely by the RF field from an NFC reader or smartphone. The motherboard is powered via USB, but the tag itself draws no current from USB; its VOUT pin delivers harvested energy only when an RF field is present and sufficient.
Can the demonstration firmware be modified or reprogrammed?
Yes - the ST25DV_Discovery_Mboard uses an STM32F405VGT6 with on-board ST-LINK v2-1 debugger. Firmware source code, drivers, schematics, and BOM are publicly available on st.com, enabling full customization of the LCD interface, NFC command sequencing, BLE/Wi-Fi handoff logic, and I²C tag interaction routines.
Is the Class 5 antenna replaceable with other antenna types?
Yes - the kit supports antenna interchangeability. ST offers dedicated antenna bundles (Class 1 and Class 6) designed for different read ranges and form factors. The ANT_C5 board provides standardized connectors and layout provisions to swap antennas while maintaining impedance matching and RF performance alignment with the ST25DV04K's RF frontend.
