Frequently Asked Questions
What security mechanism does HCS500T/SM use to prevent replay attacks in remote keyless entry systems?
HCS500T/SM uses the KEELOQ rolling-code algorithm to generate a unique 66-bit encoded word for every button press. The 32-bit hopping code portion changes with each transmission, making replay attacks ineffective because a captured code cannot be reused to unlock the system.
What supply voltage range supports HCS500T/SM in a coin-cell-powered remote fob design?
The device operates across a 2.0 V to 6.3 V supply range, which is directly compatible with common CR2032 coin cells (3 V nominal) and standard AA alkaline cells (1.5 V × 2 = 3 V). This wide range accommodates battery discharge from full charge down to near-depletion without a regulator.
How does the SOIC-8 footprint of HCS500T/SM compare to a DIP-8 alternative for space-constrained transmitter PCBs?
The SOIC-8 body measures approximately 5 mm × 4 mm versus a DIP-8 footprint of about 10 mm × 7.5 mm, giving roughly a 70% area reduction. This makes HCS500T/SM in the SM (SOIC) package the preferred choice when the PCB must fit inside a thin key-fob housing under 4 mm thick.
Which Microchip decoder ICs are compatible with HCS500T/SM for a matched transmitter-receiver pair?
HCS500T/SM is designed to pair with Microchip HCS3xx and HCS5xx series KEELOQ decoder ICs, such as the HCS512 and HCS362, which implement the same rolling-code synchronization window of up to 16 out-of-sync presses before resynchronization is required.
