Key Features

  • KEELOQ code hopping encryption generates a new 32-bit code with every transmission, providing strong protection against replay and code-grabbing attacks
  • Single-function encoder architecture simplifies firmware integration for remote keyless entry, garage door, and access control transmitter designs
  • RoHS-compliant 8-pin SOIC package enables compact transmitter PCB layouts with straightforward automated assembly
  • Low-power operation extends battery life in portable RF transmitter applications such as car key fobs and wireless security remotes

Applications

The HCS201-I/SN is primarily used in automotive remote keyless entry (RKE) systems and garage door opener transmitters where secure rolling code authentication is essential to prevent unauthorized access. It is also employed in industrial wireless access control systems, security alarm transmitters, and home automation remotes requiring encrypted one-way RF communication. The device's KEELOQ technology makes it a standard choice for OEM security transmitter designs requiring proven code hopping encryption.

Frequently Asked Questions

What encryption method does the HCS201-I/SN use?

The HCS201-I/SN uses Microchip's proprietary KEELOQ code hopping algorithm, which generates a unique 32-bit encrypted rolling code with each button press. This prevents replay attacks by ensuring that captured transmissions cannot be reused to gain unauthorized access to secured systems.

What package does the HCS201-I/SN come in?

The HCS201-I/SN is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline IC) package with a 0.150-inch body width, identified by JESD-30 code R-PDSO-G8. This compact surface-mount package is well-suited for small RF transmitter PCBs used in key fobs, security remotes, and wireless access control devices.

What are typical applications for the HCS201-I/SN?

Typical applications include automotive remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitters, garage door openers, security alarm remotes, and industrial wireless access control systems. The KEELOQ rolling code encryption built into the HCS201 makes it a standard encoder IC for any transmitter design requiring robust protection against code-grabbing and replay attacks.

Is the HCS201-I/SN RoHS compliant?

Yes, the HCS201-I/SN is RoHS compliant and lead-free as indicated by its Pbfree Code designation and JESD-609 e3 classification. This ensures the device meets modern environmental regulations for hazardous substance restrictions, making it suitable for use in consumer and automotive electronics products sold globally.

What is the lead time and availability for the HCS201-I/SN?

The HCS201-I/SN typically has a factory lead time of 6 weeks when ordered directly from Microchip Technology. Stock availability may vary by distributor, and buyers are encouraged to check with authorized distributors for immediate inventory levels and pricing to meet project timelines.
