Infra Red Input Circuit.
The Infra Red (IR) input stage consists solely of the IS436 IR detector device. This part is constructed in a
3 pin package with integral lens and acts as a detector and demodulator with Schmitt trigger data slicer. If
an IR encoder is activated and pointed at the detector then the output waveform will be of +ve mark and
can be coupled to the RF600D subsystem by setting the input selector OPT1, to IR and the mark selector
OPT3, to FM.
Serial Data Output Circuit.
The RF600D subsystem produces a serial data output at logic level which can be fed into another
microcontroller or alternately it may be desirable to pass the data into a device which will accept RS232
level data. The serial data output circuit area consists of a MAX232A TTL – RS232 level converter (U4)
which converts the logic level serial data output from the RF600D into an RS232 level data stream. The
data is output on the 9 way ‘D’ connector (J1) with data on pin 2 and ground reference on pin 5. Note that
the DSR line (pin 6 on J1) is held at RS232 high level and may be used to enable the receiving device.
HiRK Decoder Circuit.
The HiRK decoder system offers the designer a ‘single component’ solution to AM data reception and
decoding. In many ways the features and operation of the decoder system are almost identical to those
offered by the radio-module-plus-RF600D system described above. Indeed, operation of the learn switch
(LEARN-2) and associated LED7 are identical to those of the RF600D subsystem.. The 3 data outputs on
the HiRK module are connected to LED 8, 9 and 10 and these show the states of data inputs S0 – S2 on
the encoder RF600E chip. For a full description of the function and application of this module please see
datasheet DS097.
Power Supply Circuit.
The power supply for the board allows the use of an on-board PP3 battery plugged into connector J10.
Alternately an 8 – 12 volt dc power source may be connected to J1 or a standard R. F. Solutions power
supply (as used with ‘ICEPIC’ product) may be plugged into socket J5. Note that only one power source
should be connected at any one time.
The dc input supply is regulated by the 78L08, 5 volt regulator (U5) and a power on indicator (LED11) is
provided to show the presence of the 5 volt supply.
KeeLoq Parameters.
The RF600D and RF600E devices utilise The Microchip KeeLoq coding system to guarantee secure
transfer of the data between the encoder and the decoder. The coding parameters which are applied to
the KeeLoq structure is as follows:
Modulation format: Manchester coded
Baud rate:
400 us, short time out
Manufacturers code: R. F. Solutions.
Long Guard Time: Enabled.
Auto Shut Off Timer: Enabled.
