Encoders/decoders For Remote Control Applications

MS Series units can be used for remote control and command, security, keyless entry, status monitoring, and other similar applications. They allow the status of up to eight buttons or contacts to be securely transferred via a RF or infrared link. Features of the series include the ability to define user groups and relationships, latched or momentary outputs, and secure address assignment without DIP switches. The user can define which outputs each encoder has the authority to activate. This makes setting access control as simple as pushing a button. The decoder also identifies and outputs the originating encoder ID so that the transmitter can be easily identified. Housed in a 20-pin SSOP package, MS Series parts feature low supply voltage and current consumption. The components are priced at $2.15 for the encoder and $2.45 for the decoder in volume production quantities.
