Manufacturers of remote keyless entry and other short-range wireless systems can develop products faster, with less effort and at lower cost, thanks to a new reference design announced by Motorola's semiconductor products sector.
According to the company, the remote keyless entry reference design, the fourth in a series of application-specific reference designs based on 68HC908RF2 Flash microcontroller, helps software and hardware engineers develop applications based on RF technology in less time. The reference design provides a variety of features including support for multiple frequency bands - 433 MHz and 868 MHz - the latest receiver and transmitter technology and built-in encryption codes.
The design also includes software, application notes, hardware schematics, development tools and training materials. By giving engineers the building blocks they need for applications incorporating RF capabilities, Motorola says it is helping OEMs use their engineering resources to develop market-differentiating technology and deliver better products in less time.
The RKE reference design includes: motherboard; two eight-button remote transmitters (868 MHz and 433 MHz); rolling code encryption algorithm; dipole antenna; two receiver boards to be mounted on the motherboard; and Metrowerks CodeWarrior Development Studio for HCO8, Special Edition.
