The rfHCS362G/362F is a code hopping encoder plus
UHF transmitter designed for secure wireless com-
mand and control systems. The rfHCS362G/362F uti-
lizes the K
incorporates high security in a small package outline at
a low cost to make this device well suited for unidirec-
tional remote keyless entry systems and access control
systems.
The rfHCS362G/362F combines a 32-bit hopping code
generated by a nonlinear encryption algorithm with a
28/32-bit serial number and 9/5 status bits to create a
69-bit transmission stream. The length of the transmis-
sion strongly resists the threat of code scanning. The
code hopping mechanism makes each transmission
unique, thus rendering code capture and resend (code
grabbing) schemes virtually useless.
The encryption key, serial number and configuration
data are stored in an EEPROM array which is not
accessible via any external connection. The EEPROM
data is programmable but read protected. The data can
be verified only after an automatic erase and program-
ming operation. This protects against attempts to gain
access to keys or manipulate synchronization values.
The rfHCS362G/362F provides an easy to use serial
interface for programming the necessary keys, system
parameters and configuration data.
The transmitter is a fully integrated UHF ASK/FSK
transmitter consisting of crystal oscillator, Phase-
Locked Loop (PLL), open-collector differential-output
Power Amplifier (PA), and mode control logic. External
components consist of bypass capacitors, crystal, and
PLL loop filter. There are no internal electrical connec-
tions between the encoder and the transmitter. The
encoder oscillator is independent from the transmitter
crystal oscillator.
The rfHCS362G is capable of Amplitude Shift Keying
(ASK) modulation by turning the PA on and off. The
rfHCS362F is capable of ASK or Frequency Shift Key-
ing (FSK) modulation by employing an internal FSK
switch to pull the transmitter crystal via a second load
capacitor.
The rfHCS362G/362F is a single channel device. The
transmit frequency is fixed and set by an external refer-
ence crystal. Transmit frequencies in the range of 310
to 440 MHz can be selected. Output drive is an open-
collector differential amplifier. The differential output is
well suited for loop antennas. Output power is adjust-
able from +2 dBm to -12 dBm in six discrete steps.
The rfHCS362G/362F are radio frequency (RF) emit-
ting devices. Wireless RF devices are governed by a
country’s regulating agency. For example, in the United
States it is the Federal Communications Committee
(FCC) and in Europe it is the European Conference of
Postal
