Camarillo, Calif. and Chandler, Ariz.—Semtech Corp. and Microchip Technology Inc. have teamed up to develop a reference design that provides a turnkey platform for highly secure, low-power, multi-band wireless remote keyless entry (RKE) systems.

The reference design integrates Semtech’s transmitter and transceiver ICs with Microchip’s KEELOQ code-hopping technology running on PIC microcontrollers (MCUs). The RKE reference-design hardware includes transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) boards running Microchip’s KEELOQ code-hopping encryption software and Microchip MCUs. The Tx board pairs Semtech’s SX1230 industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) band transmitter with Microchip’s PIC16F631 or PIC16F677 8-bit MCUs. The Rx board employs Semtech’s SX1211 or SX1212 ISM transceivers, again with Microchip’s PIC16F631 or PIC16F677 MCUs.

Key highlights:

  • Integrated RF ICs, multi-band PCB antenna, MCU
  • KEELOQ code-hopping technology software
  • Encrypts all RF packets before sending, no plain text sent over air
  • Code-hopping encryption produces unique RF transmission each time
  • Same design supports multi-band (315, 434, 868, 915 MHz) and multiple modulation formats (FSK, OOK, ASK)
  • No tuning for lower production costs
  • Long range: programmable POUT up to +17 dBm

Putting such ad as a comment to the article is objectionable. Is it some malware that has done this kind of trick?
