The MIFARE Classic EV1 marks the most recent update in the MIFARE Classic series, improving upon all prior versions. It comes with either 1K or 4K of memory to cater to a variety of needs.

This version offers outstanding Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) resilience, facilitating easier handling during the manufacturing of cards and inlays. It also delivers excellent radio frequency (RF) performance, ensuring smoother transactions and allowing for more versatile antenna designs.

For those concerned about security, NXP suggests upgrading from existing MIFARE Classic systems to the newer, more secure MIFARE® DESFire® or MIFARE Plus® products. These options offer the best security features available and are Common Criteria certified.

Choosing NXP’s proven MIFARE DESFire and MIFARE Plus ICs not only enhances security but also supports multiple applications and mobile functionalities.
