Key Features
- KEELOQ rolling-code encryption with 64-bit key prevents replay attacks in remote keyless entry systems
- On-chip EEPROM stores the encryption key and serial number without external memory
- Low operating voltage and sleep-mode current optimise battery life in handheld remote transmitters
- 8-pin SOIC package simplifies PCB integration with industry-standard footprint
Applications
The HCS301-I/SN is primarily designed for automotive remote keyless entry (RKE) and garage door opener transmitters that require strong cryptographic security against code-grabbing and replay attacks. It is also used in building access control systems, industrial wireless controls, and any application demanding authenticated one-way RF transmission. Its compact SOIC-8 footprint and low power consumption make it a natural fit for battery-operated handheld transmitter fobs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What encryption method does the HCS301-I/SN use?
The HCS301-I/SN uses Microchip's proprietary KEELOQ code-hopping algorithm with a 64-bit encryption key, generating a new rolling code with every button press to protect against replay and code-grabbing attacks in remote keyless entry applications.
What package does the HCS301-I/SN come in?
It is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package with a 0.25-inch body width, fully compatible with standard SMT assembly processes and widely available PCB footprints for remote transmitter module designs.
What are the typical applications of the HCS301-I/SN?
Typical applications include automotive remote keyless entry fobs, garage and gate door openers, building access control transmitters, alarm system arming remotes, and any battery-operated RF transmitter requiring encrypted authentication with up to 64-bit KEELOQ security.
Is the HCS301-I/SN RoHS compliant?
Yes, the HCS301-I/SN carries a Pb-free designation (JESD-609 Code e3) and is RoHS compliant, making it suitable for use in consumer electronics, automotive systems, and other products subject to lead-free manufacturing requirements in the EU and other regions.
Does the HCS301-I/SN require external EEPROM?
No, the HCS301-I/SN integrates on-chip EEPROM to store the 64-bit encryption key, the 28-bit serial number, and other configuration data, which eliminates the need for external memory components and simplifies the overall transmitter circuit design.
