What are the key features of HCS360-I/SN?
- KEELOQ code hopping algorithm generates a new 66-bit encrypted code with every button press, defeating replay attacks
- Unique factory-programmed 64-bit serial number ensures each encoder is cryptographically distinct for secure key pairing
- RoHS-compliant 8-pin SOIC package with matte tin finish rated for 260°C peak reflow, simplifying SMT assembly
- Low quiescent current suits battery-powered keyfob transmitters with years of standby life between 3V coin cell replacements
What is HCS360-I/SN used for?
The HCS360-I/SN is the core security IC for remote keyless entry systems in automotive, garage door openers, and building access control where rolling-code encryption prevents code-grabbing attacks. Its KEELOQ algorithm ensures that each 66-bit transmitted code is valid only once, providing robust security for consumer and commercial keyless systems. The 8-pin SOIC package simplifies integration into compact RF transmitter modules that pair with Microchip HCS decoder ICs on the receiver side.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the KEELOQ algorithm in HCS360-I/SN protect against code-grabbing replay attacks?
The HCS360-I/SN uses the KEELOQ code hopping algorithm to generate a unique 66-bit encrypted transmission code for every button press, making each code valid only once. Even if an attacker captures the transmitted 66-bit code, replaying it is ineffective because the decoder has already incremented its synchronization counter, rejecting the repeated code and maintaining system security for garage door, vehicle, and building access applications.
What is the serial number length in HCS360-I/SN and how is it used during receiver programming?
Each HCS360-I/SN contains a factory-programmed unique 64-bit serial number transmitted as part of the 66-bit fixed code portion. During receiver learning mode, the HCS decoder stores this 64-bit serial number alongside the current synchronization counter, binding the specific encoder to the receiver. This ensures that only the authenticated HCS360 transmitter with matching serial number can activate the access system.
What peak reflow temperature does HCS360-I/SN support and how does this affect SMT assembly planning?
The HCS360-I/SN is rated for a 260°C peak reflow temperature with a JESD-609 e3 moisture sensitivity classification and matte tin terminal finish. This 260°C rating is compatible with standard lead-free SAC305 solder reflow profiles used in modern SMT lines, allowing the 8-pin SOIC to be processed without special low-temperature paste or nitrogen atmosphere requirements.
In which applications is HCS360-I/SN a better encoder choice than fixed-code RF transmitter ICs?
HCS360-I/SN is superior to fixed-code RF transmitter ICs in any application where replay attack vulnerability is unacceptable, such as automotive keyless entry, residential garage door systems, and commercial building access control with 315 MHz or 433 MHz transmitter modules. Fixed-code ICs transmit the same code every press, allowing a scanner to capture and replay the signal, while the KEELOQ 64-bit hopping code in the HCS360 makes captured codes cryptographically useless after a single use.
