MIFARE implementations on SmartMX
The NXP SmartMX family meets the highest performance standards and forthcoming security requirements yet reducing overall cost. It is a proven, reliable solution for smart transactions - with almost one billion ICs shipped - that delivers leading-edge performance in contactless operation along with reduced personalization time.
The proven SmartMX series fully support multi application requirements and very high performance needs and will be further enhanced with the new SmartMX2 family. In addition, MIFARE Classic implementation supports a wide variety of automated fare collection (AFC) schemes for public transport.
Excellent security measures
The product family is certified Common Criteria EAL 5+, so it protects against light attacks, invasive fault attacks, and side-channel attacks, and comes with a CRI license for improved DPA/SPA attack resistance features.
Key applications

SmartMX2
Developing secure multi-applications presents a new set of challenges in terms of security, convenience, and design productivity. Ensuring data integrity is harder, since each application has its own security requirements, and each application has to remain separate from the others. Performance needs to be higher, because today's end users expect the convenience of fast transactions. And, because multi-application systems are highly complex, they can impact time-to-market and delivery schedules.
With SmartMX2, you can deliver systems that seamlessly combine multiple functions, without worrying about security, performance and convenience, or design productivity. Combination of high performance and security and with all integrated MIFARE implementations (MIFARE Classic, MIFARE Plus or MIFARE DESFire) make SmartMX2 a very powerful and flexible platform.
Key applications
Convergence of public transport applications together with:
• eGovernment (passports, electronic IDs and credentials, health and social-security cards, driver’s licenses)
• Banking (debit, credit, loyalty, ePurse, ATM)
• Access management (access to buildings, logical access to PCs)
• Mobile transactions (payment, couponing, transport, access management)
• Device authentication (counterfeit protection of hardware and software, secure access to content and online services, secure machine-to-machine authentication)
Key features
• Contactless transaction speed up to 848 kbit/s in combination with an internal clock frequency of up to 150 MHz** in contact and contactless operation, even down to low field strength of 1.5 A/m.
• Support of simultaneous operation of both ISO/IEC 7816 and ISO/IEC 14443 interface for multi-applications, including mobile payment.
• Industry-standard I2C (400 kbit/s) and SPI (2 Mbit/s) interfaces.
• Easy interface with NFC ICs.
• Dedicated hardware support for safe and fast execution of recurring software routines. For example, use of the copy machine between memories and registers, along with implemented support for UART protocols, saves significant lines of code and increases the copy execution speed.
• Enhanced 8-, 16-, 24- and 32-bit application instruction set minimizes the number of CPU cycles, for faster execution time and lower power consumption with maximum computing performance.
• Family concept with enhanced memory options: 264 to 384 KB ROM, 4 to 8.125 KB RAM, 24 to 144 KB EEPROM and 256 to 400 KB Page Flash on the same architecture and interface options.
• SmartMX2 supports all versions of MIFARE, the world’s leading platform for automatic fare collection, and the format used in more than 650 cities and 50 countries worldwide.
• Available in industry-leading MOB6 package with 250 μm thickness, improving card robustness and allowing for additional physical security features in the card.
