Key Features
- KEELOQ 66-bit rolling code encryption algorithm providing billions of unique codes per transmitter, making replay attacks virtually impossible in automotive remote keyless entry systems
- Integrated 8-pin SOIC package with single-function encoder architecture, enabling simple low-component-count transmitter designs operating from 2.0 V to 6.3 V supply rails
- RoHS-compliant (Pb-free, JESD-609 e3) plastic SOIC-8 package rated to 260 °C peak reflow temperature for compatibility with lead-free SMT assembly processes
Applications
The Microchip HCS300/SN is widely used in automotive remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitters, garage door openers, and home alarm system keyfobs requiring secure rolling-code authentication. Its KEELOQ algorithm generates a unique 66-bit encrypted code with each button press, preventing code-grabbing attacks that defeat fixed-code systems. The SOIC-8 form factor suits compact battery-powered RF transmitter modules operating at 315 MHz or 433.92 MHz.

Frequently Asked Questions
How secure is the KEELOQ rolling code in the HCS300/SN against replay attacks?
The HCS300/SN uses the KEELOQ algorithm to generate a 66-bit hopping code that changes with every transmission, creating over 18 billion unique code combinations per device. A recorded transmission cannot be replayed successfully because the receiver expects the next valid code in the rolling sequence, making the HCS300/SN resistant to electronic replay attacks in automotive and home security applications.
What supply voltage range does the HCS300/SN support and which battery types are suitable?
The HCS300/SN operates from a supply voltage range of approximately 2.0 V to 6.3 V, making it compatible with single CR2032 lithium coin cells (3 V nominal), two AA alkaline cells (3 V), and 12 V systems with a voltage regulator. This wide input range ensures the encoder continues operating as the battery discharges from 3 V down toward 2 V in a typical keyfob application.
Can the HCS300/SN replace fixed-code encoders in existing garage door opener designs?
Yes, the HCS300/SN can upgrade legacy fixed-code systems to rolling-code security. However, the receiver must be replaced or updated with a HCS300-compatible KEELOQ decoder such as the Microchip HCS515 or HCS200 receiver IC, as rolling codes are incompatible with fixed-code decoders. The transmitter redesign replaces the fixed encoder with the 8-pin HCS300/SN and its supporting resistors and capacitors.
For a compact keyfob PCB, how small is the HCS300/SN SOIC-8 package footprint?
The HCS300/SN SOIC-8 package (JESD-30 code R-PDSO-G8) measures approximately 5.0 mm x 4.0 mm with 1.27 mm pin pitch, occupying a very small PCB footprint. This compact 8-pin outline allows complete keyfob transmitter circuits with fewer than 10 additional passive components, fitting in enclosures smaller than 30 mm x 20 mm for automotive key fob form factors.
