3.1.4.9 SEED Button Code (SDBT)
SDBT selects which switch input(s) activate a seed
transmission. Seed transmissions are disabled by
clearing all 4 bits. If a button combination is pressed
that matches the 4-bit SDBT value, a seed code word
is transmitted as configured by the SDTM, SDLM and
SDMD options (see following sections).
The binary bit order is S3-S2-S1-S0. For example, if
you want the combination of S2 and S0 to activate a
seed transmission, use SDBT=01012.
SDBT options:
• Seed is transmitted when SDBT flags match the
button input flags
• SDBT = 00002 disables seed capability.
Note:
Configuring S3/RFEN as RFEN (see
Section 3.1.4.8) prevents the use of S3 to
trigger a seed transmission.
3.1.4.10 Time Before Seed (SDTM)
The time before seed option selects the delay from
device activation until the seed code words are trans-
mitted. If the delay is not zero, the HCS473 transmits
hopping code words until the selected time, then trans-
mits seed code words.
As code words are always completed, the seed code
word begins the first code word after the specified time.
SDTM options:
• 0s - seed code words begin immediately
• 0.8s
• 1.6s
• 3.2s
3.1.4.11 Limited Seed (SDLM)
The limited seed option may be used to disable seed
transmission capability after a configurable number of
transmitter activations; limiting a transmitter’s ability to
be learned into a receiver. Specifically, seed transmis-
sions are disabled when the synchronization counter’s
LSB increments from 7Fh to 80h.
SDLM options:
• unlimited seed capability
• limited seed capability - counter value dependent
3.1.4.12 SEED Mode (SDMD)
The Seed mode option selects between User and Pro-
duction seed modes. Production mode functions as a
special time before seed case (SDTM).
With Production mode enabled, a seed button code
activation triggers MTX hopping code words followed
by MTX seed code words. Production mode functional-
ity is disabled when the synchronization counter’s LSB
increments from 7Fh to 80h.
SDMD options:
• User
• Production
3.1.4.13 RF Baud Rate Select (RFBSL)
The timing of code word data modulated on the DATA
pin is referred to in multiples of a basic Timing Element
RFTE. ‘RF’ TE because the DATA pin output is typically
sent through a RF transmitter to the decoder or tran-
sponder reader.
RFTE may be selected using the RF Baud Rate Select
(RFBSL) configuration option. RFTE accuracy is sub-
ject to the oscillator variation over temperature and
voltage.
RFBSL options:
• 100 µs RFTE
• 200 µs RFTE
• 400 µs RFTE
• 800 µs RFTE
