8.0 DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT
The KEELOQ^® family of devices are supported with a
full range of hardware and software development tools:
• Integrated Development Environment
- MPLAB^® IDE Software
- KEELOQ Toolkit Software
• Device Programmers
- PRO MATE^® II Universal Device Program-
mer
• Low Cost Demonstration Boards
- KEELOQ Evaluation Kit II
- KEELOQ Transponder Evaluation Kit
8.1 MPLAB Integrated Development
Environment Software
The same MPLAB IDE software available at
www.microchip.com that is used for microcontroller
software development also supports the KEELOQ family
of devices. With this Windows^®-based application you
can configure the device options in a graphical environ-
ment. The manufacturer’s code is protected by two
custodian keys so that the secret is split and neither
employee can reveal the code alone. Once both custo-
dian keys have been entered and the options selected,
MPLAB IDE software is ready to produce parts in one
of two ways.
• The PRO MATE II Programmer, which is sold sep-
arately, can program individual parts. MPLAB IDE
software can automatically increment the serial
number and recalculate the unique encryption
key, discrimination value and seed for each part.
• Creating an SQTP^sm file that contains all the indi-
vidual device configurations to submit to Micro-
chip for a production run without revealing your
manufacturer’s code. Please contact Microchip
sales office etc., minimum order quantities apply.
8.2 KEELOQ^® Toolkit Software
The KEELOQ^® Secure Solution CD-ROM is available
free and can be ordered with part number DS40038.
After accepting the KEELOQ license agreement, it will
let you install application notes with complete decoder
algorithms as well as the KEELOQ toolkit. The toolkit is
a handy application that generates encryption keys
from the manufacturer’s code and serial number or
seed. It can also decrypt KEELOQ transmitter’s hopping
code to help debug and test your decoder software.

8.3 PRO MATE II Universal Device
Programmer
The PRO MATE II universal device programmer is a
full-featured programmer, capable of operating in
stand-alone mode, as well as PC-hosted mode. The
PRO MATE II device programmer is CE compliant.
The PRO MATE II device programmer has programma-
ble VDD and VPP supplies, which allow it to verify pro-
grammed memory at VDD min and VDD max for
maximum reliability. It has an LCD display for instruc-
tions and error messages, keys to enter commands
and a modular detachable socket assembly to support
various package types.
Microchip has various socket adapter modules avail-
able for PDIP, SOIC and SSOP devices. An In-Circuit
Serial Programming™ (ICSP™) module is also avail-
able for programming devices after circuit assembly.
8.4 KEELOQ Evaluation Kit II
The KEELOQ Evaluation Kit II contains all the necessary
hardware to evaluate a code hopping system, including
two transmitters and a multi-function receiver board
that supports all HCS5XX stand-alone decoders. Addi-
tionally, it allows the users to develop their own soft-
ware to receive, decode and interpret the KEELOQ
transmission. The included PC software can configure
and program the KEELOQ parts for evaluation
(DM303006).
8.5 KEELOQ Transponder Evaluation
Kit
The KEELOQ Transponder Evaluation Kit consists of a
base station, a transmitter/transponder, a battery-less
transponder and various HCS4XX samples. It also
includes the PC software to configure and program the
KEELOQ parts for evaluation (DM303005).
