Applications
The HCS301-I/P is used in wireless remote control transmitters for residential and commercial access systems, including garage door openers, barrier gates, and building entry fobs, where the KeeLoq rolling code prevents code-grabbing attacks. Its 8-pin DIP package and simple interface to an RF transmitter module make it straightforward to prototype and integrate into custom remote-control PCBs with minimal external components. The wide 2.0 V to 6.3 V operating range ensures compatibility with coin cells, AA batteries, and small lithium cells used in compact handheld transmitters.

Frequently Asked Questions
What encryption method does the HCS301-I/P use to prevent code replay attacks in remote access systems?
The HCS301-I/P uses Microchip's proprietary KeeLoq algorithm, generating a new 64-bit encrypted rolling code for each button press. Because each transmission uses a unique code derived from the 64-bit serial number and a synchronization counter stored in on-chip EEPROM, a recorded transmission cannot be replayed successfully, providing strong protection against code-grabbing attacks used to compromise garage doors and vehicle entry systems.
What supply voltage range does the HCS301-I/P support, and is it suitable for coin-cell battery operation?
The HCS301-I/P operates over a supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 6.3 V, making it directly compatible with coin-cell batteries such as CR2032 (3 V nominal) and AA alkaline cells (1.5 V × 2 = 3 V). Its low-power standby mode keeps current draw in the nanoamp range between button presses, enabling years of operation from a single CR2032 cell in a typical garage door remote that is activated only a few times per day.
How many transmit button inputs does the HCS301-I/P support, and how does it encode multiple functions?
The HCS301-I/P supports up to 4 individual button inputs on its key input pins, allowing a single transmitter PCB to provide 4 distinct functions such as open, close, stop, and light control for a garage door system. Each button press triggers a new rolling-code transmission that includes a 2-bit button identifier, so the receiver can decode which of the 4 buttons was pressed along with verifying the 64-bit encrypted code.
How does the HCS301-I/P synchronize with the receiver after extended periods without use or after battery replacement?
The HCS301-I/P stores its 16-bit synchronization counter in on-chip EEPROM, which retains the count through power loss. The receiver is designed to accept codes within a resync window of typically 256 counts ahead of the last received value, so normal intermittent use does not lose synchronization. If the transmitter counter advances beyond the window—for example, after accidental repeated presses without the receiver nearby—most systems provide a re-learn procedure where the button is pressed twice in sequence to re-establish the synchronization baseline.
