Memory and protocol values describe the IC. Actual read performance depends on the finished antenna, enclosure, reader and operating environment.

NXP does not recommend MIFARE Classic EV1 for new designs. Evaluate DESFire or Plus where a new security architecture is required.

For replacements, match UID format, sector data, keys and reader behavior to the installed system.

Integration and qualification

Confirm the reader protocol, supported commands, identifier format and application memory layout. If the application requires authentication, align the reader and issuing system with the selected IC and security configuration.

Agree the card construction, thickness, surface finish and printing process. Confirm that any slot, hole or magnetic stripe positioning is compatible with the antenna and personalization equipment.

Approve an encoded sample in the finished application before volume production. Define acceptance criteria for identification, memory access, printed data and repeated operation.

Define your production requirement.
