DESCRIPTION

The HCS361 is a code hopping encoder designed for
secure Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) systems. The
HCS361 utilizes the K

EE

L

OQ

code hopping technology,
which incorporates high security, a small package
outline and low cost, to make this device a perfect
solution for unidirectional remote keyless entry systems
and access control systems.

The HCS361 combines a 32-bit hopping code
generated by a nonlinear encryption algorithm, with a
28/32-bit serial number and 7/3 status bits to create a
67-bit transmission stream. The length of the
transmission eliminates the threat of code scanning
and the code hopping mechanism makes each
transmission unique, thus rendering code capture and
resend (code grabbing) schemes useless.

The encryption key, serial number, and configuration
data are stored in EEPROM which is not accessible via
any external connection. This makes the HCS361 a
very secure unit. The HCS361 provides an easy to use
serial interface for programming the necessary security
keys, system parameters, and configuration data.

The encryption keys and code combinations are pro­grammable but read-protected. The keys can only be
verified after an automatic erase and programming
operation. This protects against attempts to gain
access to keys and manipulate synchronization values .

The HCS361 operates over a wide voltage range of

2.0V to 6.6V and has four button inputs in an 8-pin
configuration. This allows the system designer the
freedom to utilize up to 15 functions. The only
components required for device operation are the but­tons and RF circuitry, allowing a very low system cost.

1.0 SYSTEM OVERVIEW

1.1 K

ey Terms

• Manufacturer’s Code – a 64-bit word, unique to
each manufacturer, used to produce a unique
encryption key in each transmitter (encoder).

• Encr

yption Key – a unique 64-bit key generated
and programmed into the encoder during the
manufacturing process. The encryption key
controls the encryption algorithm and is stored in
EEPROM on the encoder device.

• Lear

n – The HCS product family facilitates se ver al
learning strategies to be implemented on the
decoder. The following are examples of what can
be done.

Normal Learning
The receiver uses the same information that is

transmitted during normal operation to derive the
transmitter’s secret k ey, decrypt the discrimination
value and the synchronization counter.

Secure Learn*
The transmitter is activated through a special but-

ton combination to transmit a stored 48-bit value
(random seed) that can be used for key genera­tion or be part of the key. Transmission of the ran­dom seed can be disabled after learning is
completed.

The HCS361 is a code hopping encoder device that is
designed specifically for keyless entry systems,
primarily for vehicles and home garage door openers. It
is meant to be a cost-effective, yet secure solution to
such systems. The encoder portion of a keyless entry
system is meant to be held by the user and operated to
gain access to a vehicle or restricted area. The
HCS361 requires very few external components
(Figure 2-1).

Most keyless entry systems transmit the same code
from a transmitter every time a button is pushed. The
relative number of code combinations for a lo w end sys-

tem is also a relatively small number. These
shortcomings provide the means for a sophisticated
thief to create a device that ‘grabs’ a transmission and
retransmits it later or a device that scans all possible
combinations until the correct one is found.

The HCS361 employs the K

EE

L

OQ

code hopping tech­nology and an encryption algorithm to achieve a high
level of security. Code hopping is a method by which
the code transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver
is different every time a button is pushed. This method,
coupled with a transmission length of 67 bits, virtually
eliminates the use of code ‘grabbing’ or code
‘scanning’.

As indicated in the block diagram on page one, the
HCS361 has a small EEPROM array which must be
loaded with several parameters before use. The most
important of these values are:

• A 28/32-bit serial number which is meant to be

unique for every encoder

• An encryption key that is generated at the time of

production

• A 16-bit synchronization value
The serial number for each transmitter is programmed

by the manufacturer at the time of production. The
generation of the encryption key is done using a key
generation algorithm (Figure 1-1). Typically, inputs to
the key generation algorithm are the serial number of
the transmitter or seed value, and a 64-bit manufac­turer’s code. The manufacturer’s code is chosen by the
system manufacturer and must be carefully controlled.
The manufacturer’s code is a pivotal part of the overall
system security.

The 16-bit synchronization value is the basis for the
transmitted code changing for each transmission, and
is updated each time a button is pressed. Because of
the complexity of the code hopping encryption algo­rithm, a change in one bit of the synchronization value
will result in a large change in the actual transmitted
code. There is a relationship (Figure 1-2) between the
key values in EEPROM and how they are used in the
encoder. Once the encoder detects that a button has
been pressed, the encoder reads the button and
updates the synchronization counter. The synchroniza­tion value is then combined with the encryption key in
the encryption algor ithm and the output is 32 bits of
encrypted information. This data will change with every
button press, hence, it is referred to as the hopping
portion of the code word. The 32-bit hopping code is
combined with the button information and the serial
number to form the code word transmitted to the
receiver. The code word format is explained in detail
in Section 4.2.

Any type of controller may be used as a receiver, but it
is typically a microcontroller with compatible firmware
that allows the receiver to operate in conjunction with a
transmitter, based on the HCS361. Section 7.0
provides more detail on integrating the HCS361 into a
total system.

Before a transmitter can be used with a particular
receiver, the transmitter must be ‘learned’ by the
receiver. Upon learning a transmitter, information is
stored by the receiver so that it may track the
transmitter, including the serial number of the
transmitter, the current synchronization value for that
transmitter and the same encryption key that is used on
the transmitter. If a receiv er receives a message of v alid

format, the serial number is checked and, if it is from a
learned transmitter, the message is decrypted and the
decrypted synchronization counter is checked against
what is stored. If the synchronization value is verified,
then the button status is checked to see what operation
is needed. Figure 1-3 shows the relationship between
some of the values stored by the receiver and the val­ues received from the transmitter.

2.0 DEVICE OPERATION

As shown in the typical application circuits (Figure 2-1),
the HCS361 is a simple device to use. It requires only
the addition of buttons and RF circuitry for use as the
transmitter in your security application. A description of
each pin is described in Table 2-1.

FIGURE 2-1: TYPICAL CIRCUITS

TABLE 2-1 PIN DESCRIPTIONS

The high security level of the HCS361 is based on the
patented K

EE

L

OQ

technology. A block cipher type of
encryption algorithm based on a block length of 32 bits
and a key length of 64 bits is used. The algorithm
obscures the information in such a way that even if the
transmission information (before coding) differs by only
one bit from the information in the previous transmis­sion, the next coded transmission will be totally differ­ent. Statistically, if only one bit in the 32-bit str ing of
information changes, approximately 50 percent of the
coded transmission will change. The HCS361 will wake
up upon detecting a switch closure and then delay
approximately 6.5 ms for s witch debounce (Figure 2-2).
The synchronization information, fixed information, and
switch information will be encrypted to form the hopping
code. The encrypted or hopping code portion of the
transmission will change every time a button is
pressed, even if the same button is pushed again.
Keeping a button pressed for a long time will result in
the same code word being transmitted until the button
is released or time-out occurs. A code that has been
transmitted will not occur again for more than 64K
transmissions. This will provide more than 18 years of
typical use before a code is repeated based on 10 oper­ations per day. Overflow information programmed into
the encoder can be used by the decoder to extend the
number of unique transmissions to more than 128K.

If in the transmit process it is detected that a new but­ton(s) has been pressed, a reset will immediately be
forced and the code word will not

be completed. Please
note that buttons removed will not have any effect on
the code word unless no buttons remain pressed in
which case the current code word will be completed
and the power down will occur.

3.0 EEPROM MEMORY
ORGANIZATION

The HCS361 contains 192 bits (12 x 16-bit words) of
EEPROM memory (Table 3-1). This EEPROM array is
used to store the encryption key information,
synchronization value, etc. Further descriptions of the
memory array is given in the following sections.

TABLE 3-1 EEPROM MEMORY MAP

3.1 K

ey_0 - Key_3 (64-Bit Encryption Ke y)

The 64-bit encryption key is used by the transmitter to
create the encrypted message transmitted to the
receiver. This key is created and programmed at the
time of production using a key generation algorithm.
Inputs to the key generation algorithm are the serial
number for the particular transmitter being used and a
secret manufacturer’s code. While the key generation
algorithm supplied from Microchip is the typical method
used, a user may elect to create their own method of
key generation. This may be done providing that the
decoder is programmed with the same means of creat­ing the key for decryption purposes. If a seed is used,
the seed will also form part of the input to the key gen­eration algorithm.

3.2 SYNC_A,

SYNC_B

(Synchronization Counter)

This is the 16-bit synchronization value that is used to
create the hopping code for transmission. This value
will be changed after every transmission. A second syn­chronization value can be used to stay synchronized
with a second receiver.

3.3 SEED_0,

SEED_1, and SEED_2

(Seed Word)

This is the three word (48 bits) seed code that will be
transmitted when seed transmission is selected. This
allows the system designer to implement the secure
learn feature or use this fixed code word as part of a dif­ferent key generation/tracking process or purely as a
fixed code transmission.

3.4 SER_0,

SER_1 (Encoder Serial

Number)

SER_0 and SER_1 are the lower and upper words of
the device serial number, respectiv ely. There are 32 bits
allocated for the serial number and a selectable config­uration bit determines whether 32 or 28 bits will be
transmitted. The serial number is meant to be unique
for every transmitter.

3.5 CONFIG (Confi

guration Word)

The configuration word is a 16-bit word stored in
EEPROM array that is used by the device to store
information used during the encryption process, as well
as the status of option configurations. Further
explanations of each of the bits are described in the
following sections.

TABLE 3-2 CONFIGURATION WORD

3.5.1 BACW: BLANK ALTERNATE CODE WORD
BACW = 1 selects the encoder to transmit every sec-

ond code word. This can be used to reduce the a ver age
power transmitted over a 100ms window and thereby
transmit a higher peak power.

3.5.2 FAST: SELECT FAST TRANSMISSION
FAST selects the baud rate. If FAST = 1, the baud rate

is nominally 1667 bits per second and with FAST = 0,
833 bits per second.

3.5.3 TXWAK: BIT FORMAT SELECT OR
WAKEUP

In PWM mode, this bit selects the bit format. If TXWAK
= 1, the PWM pulse is 1/6;2/6 and for TXWAK = 0, 1/
3;2/3 (Figure 4-1, VPWM = 0).

In VPWM mode, this bit enables the wake-up signal.
With TXWAK = 1, transmission of the wake-up and
dead time sequence is enabled (Figure 4-2, VPWM =

1). Wakeup is transmitted before the first code word of

each transmission only. For TXWAK = 0, the transmis­sion will skip wake-up and start transmitting the pream­ble portion of the code word (Figure 4-2, VPWM = 1).

3.5.4 SPM: SYNC PULSE MODULATION

Select modulation mode of Sync Pulse. If SPM = 1, the
sync pulse is modulated (Figure 4-1 and Figure 4-2).

3.5.5 SEED: ENABLE SEED TRANSMISSION
If SEED = 0, seed transmission is disabled. The inde-

pendent counter mode can only be used with seed
transmission disabled since SEED_2 is shared with the
second synchronization counter.

With SEED = 1, seed transmission is enabled. The
appropriate button code(s) must be activated to trans­mit the seed information. In this mode, the seed infor-

mation (SEED_0, SEED_1, and SEED_2) and the
upper 12- or 16-bits of the serial number (SER_1)are
transmitted instead of the hop code.

Seed transmission is available for function codes
(Table 3-7) S[3:0] = 1001 and S[3:0] = 0011 (delayed).
This takes place regardless of the setting of the IND bit.
The two seed transmissions are shown in Figure 3-1.

3.5.6 DELM: DELAY MODE
If DELM = 1, delay transmission is enabled. A delayed

transmission is indicated by inverting the lower nibb le of
the discrimination value. The delay mode is primarily for
compatibility with previous K

EE

L

OQ

devices. If

DELM = 0, delay transmission is disabled (Table 3-3).

TABLE 3-3 TYPICAL DELAY TIMES

3.5.7 TIMO: TIME-OUT
If TIMO = 1, the time-out is enabled. Time-out can be

used to terminate accidental continuous transmissions.
When time-out occurs, the PWM output is set low and
the LED is turned off. Current consumption will be
higher than in standby mode since current will flow
through the activated input resistors. This state can be
exited only after all inputs are taken low. TIMO = 0, will
enable continuous transmission (Table 3-4).

TABLE 3-4 TYPICAL TIME-OUT TIMES

3.5.8 IND: INDEPENDENT MODE
The independent mode can be used where one

encoder is used to control two receivers. Two counters
(SYNC_A and SYNC_B) are used in independent
mode. As indicated in Table 3-7, function codes 1 to 7
use SYNC_A and 8 to 15 SYNC_B. The independent
mode also selects IR mode. In IR mode function codes
12 to 15 will use counter B. The PWM output signal is
modulated with a 40 kHz carrier. It must be pointed out
the 40 kHz is derived from the internal clock and will
therefore vary with the same percentage as the baud
rate. If IND = 0, SYNC_A is used for all function codes.
If IND = 1, independent mode is enabled and counters
for functions are used according to Table 3-7.

For IND = 1 and S[3:0] ≡ 0xC, 0xD, 0xE, 0xF, Basic
Pulse Width modulation becomes:

TABLE 3-5 IR MODULATION

3.5.9 USRA,B: USER BITS
User bits form part of the discrimination value. The user

bits together with the IND bit can be used to identify the
counter that is used in independent mode.

3.5.10 XSER: EXTENDED SERIAL NUMBER
If XSER = 1, the full 32-bit serial number [SER_1,

SER_0] is transmitted. If XSER = 0, the four most sig­nificant bits of the serial number are substituted by
S[3:0] and is compatible with the HCS200/300/301.

3.5.11 TMPSD: TEMPORARY SEED
TRANSMISSION

The temporary seed transmission can be used to dis­able learning after the transmitter has been used for a
programmable number of operations. This feature can
be used to implement very secure systems. After learn­ing is disabled, the seed information cannot be
accessed even if physical access to the transmitter is
possible. If TMPSD = 1 the seed transmission will be
disabled after a number of code hopping transmissions.
The number of transmissions before seed transmission
is disabled, can be programmed by setting the synchro­nization counter (SYNC_A or SYNC_B) to a value as
shown in Table 3-6.

TABLE 3-7 FUNCTION CODES

3.5.12 VPWM: VARIABLE PULSE WIDTH
MODULATION

VPWM selects between VPWM modulation and PWM
modulation. If VPWM = 1, VPWM modulation is
selected as well as the following:

1. Enables the TXWAK bit to select the WAKEUP

transmission.

2. Extends the Guard Time.

If VPWM = 0, PWM modulation is selected.

3.5.13 OVR: OVERFLOW

The overflow bit is used to extend the number of possi­ble synchronization values. The synchronization
counter is 16 bits in length, yielding 65,536 values
before the cycle repeats. Under typical use of
10 operations a day, this will provide nearly 18 years of
use before a repeated value will be used. Should the
system designer conclude that is not adequate, then
the overflow bit can be utilized to extend the number of
unique values. This can be done by programming OVR
to 1 at the time of production. The encoder will automat­ically clear OVR the first time that the transmitted syn­chronization value wraps from 0xFFFF to 0x0000.
Once cleared, OVR cannot be set again, thereby creat­ing a permanent record of the counter overflow. This
prevents f ast cycling of 64K counter . If the decoder sys­tem is programmed to track the overflow bits, then the
effective number of unique synchronization values can
be extended to 128K. If programmed to zero, the sys­tem will be compatible with the NTQ104/5/6 devices
(i.e., no overflow with discrimination bits set to zero).

4.0 TRANSMITTED WORD

4.1 Transmission Format (PWM)

The HCS361 transmission is made up of several parts
(Figure 4-1 and Figure 4-2). Each transmission is
begun with a preamble and a header, followed by the
encrypted and then the fixed data. The actual data is
67 bits which consists of 32 bits of encrypted data and
35 bits of fixed data. Each transmission is followed by
a guard period before another transmission can begin.
Refer to Table and Table for transmission timing spec­ifications. The encrypted portion provides up to four bil­lion changing code combinations and includes the
function bits (based on which buttons were activated)
along with the synchronization counter value and dis­crimination value. The non-encrypted por tion is com­prised of the CRC bits, V

LOW bits, the function bits and

the 28/32-bit serial number. The encrypted and non­encrypted sections combined increase the number of
combinations to 1.47 x 10

20

.

4.2 Code Word Organization

The HCS361 transmits a 67-bit code word when a but­ton is pressed. The 67-bit word is constructed from a
Fixed Code portion and an Encrypted Code portion
(Figure 4-3).

The Encrypted Data is generated from 4 function bits,
2 user bits, overflow bit, independent mode bit, and 8
serial number bits, and the 16-bit synchronization value
(Figure 8-4).

5.0 SPECIAL FEATURES

5.1 Code Word Completion

Code word completion is an automatic feature that
ensures that the entire code word is transmitted, even
if the button is released before the transmission is com­plete and that a minimum of two words are completed.
The HCS361 encoder powers itself up when a b utton is
pushed and powers itself down after the current trans­mission is finished, if the user has already released the
button. If the button is held down beyond the time for
two transmissions, then multiple transmissions will
result. The HCS361 transmits at least two transmis­sions before powering down. If another button is acti­vated during a transmission, the active transmission will
be aborted and the new code will be generated using
the new button information.

5.2 Blank Alternate Code Word

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) part 15
rules specify the limits on fundamental power and
harmonics that can be transmitted. Power is calculated
on the worst case average power transmitted in a
100ms window. It is therefore advantageous to
minimize the duty cycle of the transmitted word. This
can be achieved by minimizing the duty cycle of the
individual bits and by blanking out consecutive words.
Blank Alternate Code Word (BACW) is used for
reducing the average power of a transmission
(Figure 5-1). This is a selectable feature. Using the
BACW allows the user to transmit a higher amplitude
transmission if the transmission length is shorter. The
FCC puts constraints on the average po wer that can be
transmitted by a device , and BACW eff ectiv ely prev ents
continuous transmission by only allowing the transmis­sion of every second word. This reduces the average
power transmitted and hence, assists in FCC approval
of a transmitter device.

5.3 CRC (Cycle Redundancy Check) Bits

The CRC bits are calculated on the 65 previously trans­mitted bits. The CRC bits can be used by the receiver
to check the data integrity before processing starts. The
CRC can detect all single bit and 66% of double bit
errors. The CRC is computed as follows:

EQUATION 0-1: CRC CALCULATION

and

with

and
Di

n

the nth transmission bit 0 ≤ n ≤ 64

5.4 Secure Learning

In order to increase the level of security in a system, it
is possible for the receiver to implement what is known
as a secure learning function. This can be done by uti­lizing the seed value on the HCS361 which is stored in
EEPROM. Instead of the normal key generation
method being used to create the encryption key, this
seed value is used and there should not be any mathe­matical relationship between serial numbers and seeds
for the best security.

5.5 Auto-shutoff

The Auto-shutoff function automatically stops the
device from transmitting if a button inadvertently gets
pressed for a long period of time. This will prevent the
device from draining the battery if a button gets pressed
while the transmitter is in a pocket or purse. This func­tion can be enabled or disabled and is selected by set­ting or clearing the time-out bit (Section 3.5.7). Setting
this bit will enable the function (turn Auto-shutoff func­tion on) and clearing the bit will disable the function.
Time-out period is approximately 25 seconds.

5.6 VLOW: Voltage LOW Indicator

The VLOW bit is transmitted with every transmission
(Figure 4-2) and will be transmitted as a one if the
operating voltage has dropped below the low voltage
trip point, typically 3.8V at 25°C. This V

LOW signal is

transmitted so the receiver can give an indication to the
user that the transmitter battery is low.

5.7 LED Output Operation

During normal transmission the LED output is LOW. If
the supply voltage drops below the low voltage trip
point, the LED

output will be toggled at approximately

1Hz during the transmission.

6.0 PROGRAMMING THE HCS361

When using the HCS361 in a system, the user will have
to program some parameters into the device including
the serial number and the secret key before it can be
used. The programming cycle allows the user to input
all 192 bits in a serial data stream, which are then
stored internally in EEPROM. Programming will be
initiated by forcing the PWM line high, after the S3 line
has been held high for the appropriate length of time.
S0 and S1 should be held low during the entire program
cycle (Table 6-1 and Figure 6-1). The device can then
be programmed by clocking in 16 bits at a time , followed
by the word’s complement using S3 or S2 as the clock
line and PWM as the data in line. After each 16-bit w ord

is loaded, a programming delay is required for the
internal program cycle to complete. An ac knowledge bit
can be read back after the programming delay (T

WC).

After the first word and its complement have been
downloaded, an automatic bulk write is performed. This
delay can take up to Twc. At the end of the program­ming cycle, the device can be verified (Figure 6-2) by
reading back the EEPROM. Reading is done by clock­ing the S3 line and reading the data bits on PWM. For
security reasons, it is not possible to execute a verify
function without first programming the EEPROM. A

verify operation can only be done once, immedi­ately following the program cycle.

7.0 INTEGRATING THE HCS361
INTO A SYSTEM

Use of the HCS361 in a system requires a compatible
decoder. This decoder is typically a microcontroller with
compatible firmware. Firmware routines that accept
transmissions from the HCS361 and decrypt the
hopping code portion of the data stream are available.
These routines provide system designers the means to
develop their own decoding system.

7.1 Learning a Transmitter to a Receiver

In order for a transmitter to be used with a decoder , the
transmitter must first be ‘learned’. Several learning
strategies can be followed in the decoder implementa­tion. When a transmitter is learned to a decoder, it is
suggested that the decoder stores the serial number
and current synchronization value in EEPROM. The
decoder must keep track of these values for every
transmitter that is learned (Figure 7-1). The maximum
number of transmitters that can be learned is only a
function of how much EEPROM memory storage is
available. The decoder must also store the manufac­turer’s code in order to learn a transmission transmitter ,
although this value will not change in a typical system
so it is usually stored as part of the microcontroller
ROM code. Storing the manufacturer’s code as part of
the ROM code is also better for security reasons.

It must be stated that some learning strategies have
been patented and care must be taken not to infringe.

7.2 Decoder Operation

In a typical decoder operation (Figure 7-2), the key gen­eration on the decoder side is done by taking the serial
number from a transmission and combining that with
the manufacturer’s code to create the same secret key
that was used by the transmitter . Once the secret key is
obtained, the rest of the transmission can be decrypted.
The decoder waits for a transmission and immediately
can check the serial number to determine if it is a
learned transmitter. If it is, it tak es the encrypted portion
of the transmission and decrypts it using the stored key
It uses the discrimination bits to determine if the
decryption was valid. If everything up to this point is
valid, the synchronization value is evaluated.

FIGURE 7-2: TYPICAL DECODER

OPERATION

7.3 Synchronization with Decoder

The KEELOQ technology features a sophisticated
synchronization technique (Figure 7-3) which does not
require the calculation and storage of future codes. If
the stored counter value for that particular transmitter
and the counter value that was just decrypted are within
a formatted window of say 16, the counter is stored and
the command is executed. If the counter value was not
within the single operation window, but is within the
double operation window of say 32K window, the trans­mitted synchronization value is stored in temporary
location and it goes back to waiting for another trans­mission. When the next valid transmission is received,
it will check the new value with the one in temporary
storage. If the two values are sequential, it is assumed
that the counter had just gotten out of the single opera­tion ‘window’, but is now back in sync, so the new syn­chronization value is stored and the command
executed. If a transmitter has somehow gotten out of
the double operation window, the transmitter will not
work and must be relearned. Since the entire window
rotates after each valid transmission, codes that have
been used are part of the ‘block ed’ (32K) codes and are
no longer valid. This eliminates the possibility of grab­bing a previous code and retransmitting to gain entry.
