Application Specific Microcontrollers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'V' against official NXP documentation, as standard datasheets list 'MF3DH8201DUD/01'. Confirm wafer specifications, including thickness and carrier type, directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors to ensure compliance with production requirements.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Selection Notes

Select this variant when a higher input capacitance (70 pF) is required to accommodate smaller antenna geometries compared to the standard 17 pF versions. Ensure the design supports the FFC wafer format if direct die attachment is planned. Verify that the 8 kB capacity meets the storage needs for all intended applications and file structures.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Part Context

This component belongs to the MF3D(H)x2 family, representing the third generation of MIFARE DESFire products. It succeeds the DESFire EV1 and D40 models, offering backward compatibility while introducing advanced features like Virtual Card Architecture and Transaction MAC. The 'H' designation specifically indicates the high capacitance variant within the series.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Replacement Considerations

Direct functional replacements include other MF3DH8201DUD variants with different packaging or wafer thicknesses. For lower capacitance requirements, consider the MF3D8201DUD series. Ensure any substitute maintains the same 8 kB EEPROM size and 70 pF capacitance specification if physical constraints are critical.
