DESCRIPTION
The HCS300 from Microchip Technology Inc., is a code
hopping encoder designed for secure Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) systems. The HCS300 utilizes the
®
code
hopping technology, which incorporates high security, a
small package outline and low cost to make this device
a perfect solution for unidirectional remote keyless
entry systems and access control systems.
