DESCRIPTION

The Microchip Technology Inc. HCS515 is a code hop­ping decoder designed for secure Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) systems. The HCS515 utilizes the pat­ented K

EE

L

OQ

code hopping system and high security
learning mechanisms to make this a canned solution
when used with the HCS encoders to implement a uni­directional remote and access control systems. The
HCS515 can be used as a stand-alone decoder or in
conjunction with a microcontroller.

The manufacturer’s code, encoder decryption keys,
and synchronization information are stored in
encrypted form in internal EEPROM. The HCS515
uses the S_DAT and S_CLK inputs to communicate
with a host controller device.

The HCS515 operates over a wide voltage range of

3.0 volts to 5.5 volts. The decoder employs automatic
bit-rate detection, which allows it to compensate for
wide variations in transmitter data rate. The decoder
contains sophisticated error checking algorithms to
ensure only valid codes are accepted.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

1.1 Key Terms

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

• Encoder Decryption Key – A 64-bit key, unique for
each transmitter. The encoder decryption key
controls the K

EE

L

OQ

decryption algorithm and is

stored in EEPROM on the decoder device.

• Learn – The receiver uses information that is
transmitted to derive the transmitter’s encoder
decryption key, decrypt the discrimination value,
and the synchronization counter in learning mode.
The encoder decryption key is a function of the
manufacturer’ s code and the device serial number
and/or seed value.

The HCS encoders and decoders employ the K

EE

L

OQ

code hopping technology and a K

EE

L

OQ

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 ever y
time a button is pushed. This method, coupled with a
transmission length of 66 bits, virtually eliminates the
use of code ‘grabbing’ or code ‘scanning’.

1.2 HCS Encoder Overview

The HCS encoders have a small EEPROM arra y which
must be loaded with several parameters before use.
The most important of these values are:

• An encoder decryption key that is generated at
the time of production

• A 16-bit synchronization counter value

• A 28-bit serial number which is meant to be
unique for every encoder

The manufacturer programs the serial number f or each
encoder at the time of production, while the ‘Key Gen­eration Algorithm’ generates the encoder decryption
key (Figure 1-1). Inputs to the k e y generation algorithm
typically consist of the encoder’s serial number and a
64-bit manufacturer’s code, which the manufacturer
creates.

The 16-bit synchronization counter 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 K

EE

L

OQ

encryption algorithm, a
change in one bit of the synchronization counter value
will result in a large change in the actual transmitted
code. There is a relationship (Figure 1-2) between the
encoder decryption 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 encoder decryption key in the K

EE

L

OQ

encryption algorithm, and the output is 32 bits of
encrypted information. This data will change with e v ery
button press, hence, it is referred to as the code hop­ping portion of the code word. The 32-bit code hopping
portion is combined with the button information and the
serial number to form the code word transmitted to the
receiver.

1.3 HCS Decoder Overview

Before a transmitter and receiver can work together,
the receiver must first ‘learn’ and store certain informa­tion from the transmitter. This information includes a
‘check value’ of the serial number, the encoder decryp­tion key, and current synchronization counter value.

When a valid formatted message is detected, the
receiver first compares the serial number. If the serial
number check value is from a learned transmitter, the
message is decrypted. Next, the receiver checks the
decrypted synchronization counter value against what
is stored in memory. If the synchronization counter
value is verified, then a valid transmission message is
sent. Figure 1-3 shows the relationship between some
of the values stored by the receiver and the values
received from the transmitter.

3.0 DECODER OPERATION

3.1 Learning a Transmitter to a Receiver
(Normal or Secure Learn)

Before the transmitter and receiver can work together,
the receiver must first ‘lear n’ and store the following
information from the transmitter in EEPROM:

• A check value of the serial number

• The encoder decryption key

• The current synchronization counter value

The decoder must also store the manufacturer’s code
(Section 1.2) in protected memory. This code will
typically be the same for all of the decoders in a sys­tem.

The HCS515 has seven memory slots, and, conse­quently, can store up to seven transmitters. During the
learn procedure, the decoder searches for an empty
memory slot for storing the transmitter’s information.
When all of the memory slots are full, the decoder will
overwrite the last transmitter’s information. To erase all
of the memory slots at once, use the ERASE_ALL
command (C3H).

3.1.1 LEARNING PROCEDURE

Learning is initiated by sending the ACTIV ATE_LEARN
(D2H) command to the decoder. The decoder acknowl­edges reception of the command by pulling the data
line high.

For the HCS515 decoder to learn a new transmitter , the
following sequence is required:

1. Activate the transmitter once.

2. Activate the transmitter a second time. (In

secure learning mode, the seed transmission
must be transmitted during the second stage of
learn by activating the appropriate buttons on
the transmitter.)

The HCS515 will transmit a learn-status string,
indicating that the learn was successful.

3. The decoder has now learned the transmitter.

4. Repeat steps 1-3 to learn up to seven

transmitters

Note 1: Learning will be terminated if two

nonsequential codes were received or if two
acceptable codes were not decoded within
30 seconds.

2:

If more than seven transmitters are learned,
the new transmitter will replace the last
transmitter learned. It is, therefore, not pos­sible to erase lost transmitters by
repeatedly learning new transmitters. To
remove lost or stolen transmitters,
ERASE_ALL transmitters and relearn all
available transmitters.

3:

Learning a transmitter with an encoder
decryption key that is identical to a transmit­ter already in memory replaces the existing
transmitter. In practice, this means that all
transmitters should have unique encoder
decryption keys. Learning a previously
learned transmitter does not use any addi­tional memory slots.

The following checks are perfor med by the decoder to
determine if the transmission is valid during learn:

• The first code word is checked for bit integrity.

• The second code word is checked for bit integrity.

• The encoder decryption key is generated accord­ing to the selected algorithm.

• The hopping code is decrypted.

• The discrimination value is checked.

• If all the checks pass, the key, serial number
check value, and synchronization counter values
are stored in EEPROM memory.

Figure 3-1 shows a flow chart of the learn sequence.

3.2 Validation of Codes

The decoder waits for a transmission and checks the
serial number to determine if it is a learned transmitter.
If it is, it takes the code hopping portion of the transmis­sion and decrypts it, using the encoder decryption key .
It uses the discrimination value to determine if the
decryption was valid. If everything up to this point is
valid, the synchronization counter value is evaluated.

3.3 Validation Steps

Validation consists of the following steps:

1. Search EEPROM to find the Serial Number
Check V alue Match

2. Decrypt the Hopping Code

3. Compare the 10 bits of the discrimination value
with the lower 10 bits of serial number

4. Check if the synchronization counter value falls
within the first synchronization window.

5. Check if the synchronization counter value falls
within the second synchronization window.

6. If a valid transmission is found, update the
synchronization counter, else use the next
transmitter block, and repeat the tests.

FIGURE 3-2: DECODER OPERATION

3.4 Synchronization with Decoder

The K

EE

L

OQ

technology features a sophisticated
synchronization technique (Figure 3-3) which does not
require the calculation and storage of future codes. If
the stored synchronization counter value for that
particular transmitter and the synchronization counter
value that was just decrypted are within a formatted
window of 16, the counter is stored, and the command
is executed. If the synchronization counter value was
not within the single operation window , b ut is within the
double operation window of the 16K window, the
transmitted synchronization counter value is stored in a
temporary location, and the decoder goes back to wait­ing for another transmission. When the next valid
transmission is received, it will check the new
synchronization counter 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 ‘windo w’, but is now bac k in synchroni­zation, so the new synchronization counter value is
stored, and the command is 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 hav e been used become
part of the ‘blocked’ (48K) codes and are no longer
valid. This eliminates the possibility of g rabbing a pre vi­ous code and retransmitting to gain entry.

4.0 INTERFACING TO A
MICROCONTROLLER

The HCS515 interfaces to a microcontroller via a syn­chronous serial interface. A clock and data line are
used to communicate with the HCS515. The microcon­troller controls the clock line. There are two groups of
data transfer messages. The first is from the decoder
whenever the decoder receives a valid transmission.
The decoder signals reception of a valid code by taking
the data line high (maximum of 500 ms) The microcon­troller then services the request by clocking out a data
string from the decoder. The data string contains the
function code, the status bit, and block indicators. The
second is from the controlling microcontroller to the
decoder in the form of a defined command set.

Figure 4-1 shows the HCS515 decoder and the I/O
interface lines necessary to interface to a microcontrol­ler.

4.1 Valid Transmission Message

The decoder informs the microcontroller of a valid
transmission by taking the data line high for up to
500 ms. The controlling microcontroller must acknowl­edge by taking the clock line high. The decoder then
takes the data line low. The microcontroller can then
begin clocking a data stream out of the HCS515. The
data stream consists of:

• Start bit ‘0’.

• 2 status bits [REPEAT, VLOW].

• 4-bit function code [S3 S2 S1 S0].

• Stop bit ‘1’.

• 4 bits indicating the number of transmitters
learned into the decoder [CNT3…CNT0].

• 4 bits indicating which block was used
[TX3…TX0].

• 64 bits of the received transmission with the hop­ping code decrypted.

The decoder will terminate the transmission of the data
stream at any point where the clock is kept low for
longer than 1 ms.Therefore, the microcontroller can
only clock out the required bits. A maximum of 80 bits
can be clocked out of the decoder.

4.2 Command Mode

4.2.1 MICROCONTROLLER COMMAND MODE
ACTIVATION

The microcontroller command consists of four parts.
The first part activates the command mode, the second
part is the actual command, the third is the address
accessed, and the last part is the data. The microcon­troller starts the command by taking the clock line high
for up to 500 ms. The decoder acknowledges the start­up sequence by taking the data line high. The micro­controller takes the clock line low, after which the
decoder will take the data line low , tri-state the data line
and wait for the command to be clock in. The data must
be set up on the rising edge and will be sampled on the
falling edge of the clock line.

4.2.2 COLLISION DETECTION
The HCS515 uses collision detection to prevent

clashes between the decoder and microcontroller.
Whenever the decoder receives a valid transmission
the following sequence is followed:

• The decoder first checks to see if the clock line is
high. If the clock line is high, the valid transmis­sion notification is aborted, and the microcontrol­ler command mode request is serviced.

• The decoder takes the data line high and checks
that the clock line doesn’t go high within 50 µ s. If
the clock line goes high, the valid transmission
notification is aborted and the command mode
request is serviced.

• If the clock line goes high after 50 µ s but before
500 ms, the decoder will acknowledge by taking
the data line low.

• The microcontroller can then start to clock out the
80-bit data stream of the received transmission.

4.2.3 COMMAND ACTIVATION TIMES
The command activation time (Table 4-1) is defined as

the maximum time the microcontroller has to wait for a
response from the decoder. The decoder will abort and
service the command request. The response time
depends on the state of the decoder when the com­mand mode is requested.

4.2.4 DECODER COMMANDS
The command byte specifies the operation required by

the controlling microcontroller. Table 4-2 lists the com­mands.

4.2.5 READ BYTE/S FROM USER EEPROM
The read command (Figure 4-4) is used to read bytes

from the user EEPROM. The offset in the user
EEPROM is specified by the address byte which is
truncated to seven bits (C to D). After the address, a
dummy byte must be clock ed in (D to E). The EEPR OM
data byte is clocked out on the next rising edge of the
clock line with the least significant bit first (E to F).
Sequential reads are possible by repeating sequence E
to F within 1 ms after the falling edge of the previous
byte’s Most Significant Bit (MSB) bit. During the
sequential read, the address value will wrap after 128
bytes. The decoder will terminate the read command if
no clock pulses are received for a period longer than

1.2 ms.

4.2.6 WRITE BYTE/S TO USER EEPROM
The write command (Figure 4-5) is used to write a loca-

tion in the user EEPROM. The address byte is trun­cated to seven bits (C to D). The data is clocked in least
significant bit first. The clock line must be asserted to
initiate the write. Sequential writes of bytes are possib le
by clocking in the byte and then asserting the clock line
(D – F). The decoder will terminate the write command
if no clock pulses are received for a period longer than

1.2 ms After a successful write sequence the decoder
will acknowledge by taking the data line high and keep­ing it high until the clock line goes low.

4.2.7 ERASE ALL
The erase all command (Figure 4-6) erases all the

transmitters in the decoder. After the command and two
dummy bytes are clocked in, the clock line must be
asserted to activate the command. After a successful
completion of an erase all command, the data line is
asserted until the clock line goes low.

4.2.8 ACTIVATE LEARN
The activate learn command (Figure 4-7) is used to

activate a transmitter learning sequence on the
decoder. The command consists of a command mode
activation sequence, a command byte, and tw o dummy
bytes. The decoder will respond by taking the data line
high to acknowledge that the command was valid and
that learn is active.

Upon reception of the first transmission, the decoder
will respond with a learn status message (Figure 4-8).

During learn, the decoder will acknowledge the recep­tion of the first transmission by taking the data line high
for 60 ms. The controlling microcontroller can clock out
at most eight bits, which will all be zeros. All of the bits
of the status byte are zero, and this is used to distin­guish between a learn time-out status string and the
first transmission received string. The controlling micro­controller must ensure that the clock line does not go
high 60 ms after the falling edge of the data line, for this
will terminate learn.

Upon reception of the second transmission, the
decoder will respond with a learn status message
(Figure 4-9).

The learn status message after the second transmis­sion consists of the following:

• 1 start bit.

• The function code [S3:S0] of the message is zero,
indicating that this is a status string.

• The RESULT bit indicates the result of the learn
sequence. The RESULT bit is set if successful
and cleared otherwise.

• The OVR bit will indicate whether an exiting trans­mitter is over written. The OVR bit will be set if an
existing transmitter is learned over.

• The [CNT3…CNT0] bits will indicate the number
of transmitters learned on the decoder.

• The [TX3…TX0] bits indicate the block number
used during the learning of the transmitter.

4.3 Stand-alone Mode

The HCS515 decoder can also be used in stand-alone
applications. The HCS515 will activate the data line for
up to 500 ms if a valid transmission was received, and
this output can be used to drive a relay circuit. To acti­vate learn or erase all commands, a button must be
connected to the CLK input. User f eedbac k is indicated
on an LED connected to the DATA output line. If the
CLK line is pulled high, using the learn button, the LED
will switch on. After the CLK line is kept high for longer
than 2 seconds, the decoder will switch the LED line off,
indicating that learn will be entered if the button is
released. If the CLK line is kept high for another 6 sec­onds, the decoder will activate an ERASE_ALL Com­mand.

Learn mode can be aborted by taking the clock line
high until the data line goes high (LED switches on).
During learn, the data line will give feedback to the user
and, therefore, must not be connected to the rela y drive
circuitry.

After taking the clock low and before a transmitter is
learn, any low-to-high change on the clock line may ter­minate learn. This has learn implications when a switch
with contact bounce is used.

4.4 Erase All Command and Erase
Command

The Table 4-3 describes two versions of the Erase All
command.

Subcommand 01 can be used where a transmitter with
permanent status is implemented in the microcontroller
software. Use of subcommand 01 ensures that the per­manent transmitter remains in memory even when all
other transmitters are erased. The first transmitter
learned after any of the following events is the first
transmitter in memory and becomes the permanent
transmitter:

1. Programming of the manufacturer’s code.

2. Erasing of all transmitters

(subcommand 00 only).

4.5 Test Mode

A special test mode is activated after:

1. Programming of the manufacturer’s code.

2. Erasing of all transmitters.

Test mode can be used to test a decoder before any
transmitters are learned on it. Test mode enables test­ing of decoders without spending the time to learn a
transmitter. Test mode is terminated after the first suc­cessful learning of an ordinary transmitter. In test
mode, the decoder responds to a test transmitter. The
test transmitter has the following properties:

1. Encoder decryption key = manufacturer’s code.

2. Serial number = any value.

3. Discrimination bits = lower 10 bits of the serial

number.

4. Synchronization counter value = any value

(synchronization information is ignored).

Because the synchronization counter value is ignored
in test mode, any number of test transmitters can be
used, even if their synchronization counter values are
different.

Note: The REPS bit must be cleared in the con-

figuration byte in stand-alone mode.

4.6 Power Supply Supervisor

Reliable operation of the HCS515 requires that the
contents of the EEPROM memory be protected against
erroneous writes. To ensure that erroneous writes do

not occur after supply voltage “brown-out” conditions,
the use of a proper power supply supervisor device is
imperative (Figure 4-11 and Figure 8-4).

5.0 DECODER PROGRAMMING

The memory is divided between system memory that stores the transmitter information (read protected) and user mem­ory (read/write). Commands to access the user memory are described in Sections 4.2.5 and 4.2.6.

The following information stored in system memory needs to be programmed before the decoder can be used:

• 64-bit manufacturer’s code

• Decoder configuration byte

5.1 Configuration Byte

The decoder is configured during initialization by setting the appropriate bits in the configuration byte. The following tab le
list the options:

5.1.1 LRN_MODE
LRN_MODE selects between two learning modes. With LRN_MODE = 0, the nor mal (serial number der ived) mode is

selected; with LRN_MODE=1, the secure (seed derived) mode is selected. See Section 6.0 for more detail on learning
modes.

5.1.2 REPEAT
The HCS515 can be configured to indicate repeated transmissions. In a stand-alone configuration, repeated transmis-

sions must be disabled.

Note 1: These memory locations are read protected and can only be written to using the program command with

the device powered up.

2: The contents of the system memory is encrypted by a unique 64-bit key that is stored in the HCS515. To

initialize the system memory, the HCS515’s program command must be used.

5.2 Programming Waveform

The programming command consists of the following:

• Command Request Sequence (A to B)

• Command Byte (B to C)

• Configuration Byte (C to D)

• Manufacturer’s Code Eight Data Bytes (D to G)

• Activation and Acknowledge Sequence (G to H)

5.3 Programming Data String

A total of 80 bits are clocked into the decoder . The 8-bit
command byte is clocked in first, followed by the 8-bit
configuration byte and the 64-bit manufacturer’s code.
The data must be clocked in Least Significant Bit (LSB)
first. The decoder will then encr ypt the manufacturer’s
code using the decoder’s unique 64-bit EEPROM
encoder decryption key. After completion of the pro­gramming EEPROM, the decoder will acknowledge by
taking the data line high (G to H). If the data line goes
high within 30 ms after the clock goes high, program­ming also fails.

6.0 KEY GENERATION

The HCS515 supports two learning schemes which are selected during the initialization of the system EEPROM. The
learning schemes are:

• Normal learn using the K

EELOQ decryption algorithm

• Secure learn using the K

EELOQ decryption algorithm

6.1 Normal (Serial Number derived) Learn using the KEELOQ Decryption Algorithm

This learning scheme uses the KEELOQ decryption algorithm and the 28-bit ser ial number of the transmitter to derive
the encoder decryption key. The 28-bit serial number is patched with predefined values as indicated below to form two
32-bit seeds.

SourceH = 60000000 00000000H + Serial Number |

28 Bits

SourceL = 20000000 00000000H + Serial Number |

28 Bits

Then, using the KEELOQ decryption algorithm and the manufacturer’s code the encoder decryption key is
derived as follows:

KeyH

Upper 32 bits

= F

KEELOQ Decryption

(SourceH) |

64-Bit Manufacturer’s Code

KeyL

Lower 32 bits

= F

KEELOQ Decryption

(SourceL) |

64-Bit Manufacturer’s Code

6.2 Secure (Seed Derived) Learn using the KEELOQ Decryption Algorithm

This scheme uses the secure seed transmitted by the encoder to derive the two input seeds. The decoder always uses
the lower 64 bits of the transmission to form a 60-bit seed. The upper 4 bits are always forced to zero.

For 32-bit seed encoders (HCS200/HCS300/HCS301):

SourceH = Serial Number

Lower 28 bits

SourceL = Seed

32 bits

For 48-bit seed encoders (HCS360/HCS361):

SourceH = Seed

Upper 16 bits

+ Serial Number

with upper 4 bits set to zero

SourceL = Seed

Lower 32 bits

For 60-bit seed encoders (HCS410):

SourceL = Seed

Lower 32 bits

The KEELOQ decryption algorithm and the manufacturer’s code is used to derive the encoder decryption key as
follows:

7.0 KEELOQ ENCODERS

7.1 Transmission Format (PWM)

The KEELOQ encoder transmission is made up of sev­eral parts (Figure 7-1). Each transmission begins with
a preamble and a header, followed by the encrypted
and then the fixed data. The actual data is 66/67 bits
which consists of 32 bits of encrypted data and 34/35
bits of non-encrypted data. Each transmission is fol­lowed by a guard period before another transmission
can begin. The code hopping por tion provides up to
four billion changing code combinations and includes
the button status bits (based on which buttons were
activated), along with the synchronization counter
value and some discrimination bits. The non-code hop­ping portion is comprised of the status bits, the function
bits, and the 28-bit serial number. The encrypted and
non-encrypted combined sections increase the num­ber of combinations to 7.38 x 10

19

.

7.2 Code Word Organization

The HCS encoder transmits a 66/67-bit code word
when a button is pressed. The 66/67-bit word is con­structed from a code hopping portion and a non-code
hopping portion (Figure 7-2).

The Encrypted Data is generated from f our button bits,
two overflow counter bits, ten discrimination bits, and
the 16-bit synchronization counter value.

The Non-encrypted Data is made up from 2 status
bits, 4 function bits, and the 28/32-bit serial number.
