The Manufacturer’s Code, transmitter keys, and syn-
chronization information are stored in protected on-
chip EEPROM. The HCS512 uses the DATA and CLK
inputs to load the Manufacturer’s Code which cannot
be read out of the device.
DESCRIPTION
The Microchip Technology Inc. HCS512 is a code hop-
ping decoder designed for secure Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) systems. The HCS512 utilizes the pat-
ented KEELOQ code hopping system and high security
learning mechanisms to make this a canned solution
when used with the HCS encoders to implement a uni-
directional remote keyless entry system.
The HCS512 operates over a wide voltage range of
3.0 volts to 6.0 volts. The decoder employs automatic
baud rate detection which allows it to compensate for
wide variations in transmitter data rate. The decoder
contains sophisticated error checking algorithms to
ensure only valid codes are accepted.
