DESCRIPTION
The HCS300 from Microchip Technology Inc. is a code
hopping encoder designed for secure Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) systems. The HCS300 utilizes the
K
EELOQ
®
code hopping technology, incorporating high
security, a small package outline and low cost. The
HCS300 is a perfect solution for unidirectional remote
keyless entry systems and access control systems.
PACKAGE TYPES
HCS300 BLOCK DIAGRAM
The HCS300 combines a 32-bit hopping code,
generated by a nonlinear encryption algorithm, with a
28-bit serial number and 6 information bits to create a
66-bit code word. The code word length eliminates the
threat of code scanning and the code hopping mecha-
nism makes each transmission unique, thus rendering
code capture and resend schemes useless.
