Application Specific Microcontrollers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'V' against official documentation to confirm if it denotes a unique package variant or marking specification, as standard datasheets list 'MF3D4201DUF/01'. Confirm wafer thickness (75 μm) and input capacitance (17 pF) match design requirements.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high security (EAL5+) and flexible multi-application management. Ensure the reader supports ISO/IEC 14443-4 and AES secure messaging for optimal performance. Consider the 17 pF input capacitance for antenna design in standard form factors.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Part Context

This part belongs to the MF3D(H)x2 family, representing the third generation of MIFARE DESFire products. It succeeds the DESFire EV1 and D40, offering enhanced security features like Transaction MAC and Virtual Card Architecture while maintaining backward compatibility with existing infrastructure.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Replacement Considerations

Functionally backward compatible with MF3ICD40 and MF3Dxxxxx1 series devices. Verify software command set compatibility when migrating from older generations.
