| Microchip Announces PIC Microcontroller for Passive Keyless Entry | | | |
CHANDLER, Ariz. — Microchip Technology Inc. announced a Flash, 8-bit PIC® microcontroller
with a 3-channel, transponder analog front end and an integrated KEELOQ® cryptographic peripheral. The combination
of this new transponder analog front end, KEELOQ peripheral and low power consumption via nanoWatt Technology
provides a total solution for passive-keyless-entry (PKE) and other wireless authentication applications.
Designers of wireless security systems and authentication products require an integrated solution for communication,
security, and reliable low-power operation. The new PIC16F639 microcontroller meets these needs by providing
engineers with the three-channel low-frequency (LF) transponder analog front end, the KEELOQ cryptographic
peripheral, nanoWatt Technology, and the power of a PIC microcontroller -- all in a small 20-pin SSOP package.
“Microchip is building on its technology leadership in microcontrollers, analog and
secure-data ICs by combining our PIC microcontroller core with an analog front end and the proven KEELOQ security
technology,” said Steve Drehobl, vice president of Microchip’s Security, Microcontroller and Technology Development
Division. “This new microcontroller provides a complete solution for PKE and authentication systems.”
Applications for the PIC16F639 include: Automotive (PKE, tire-pressure monitoring systems);
Authentication (intelligent RFID, property and identity, hospital systems, computer access); Security Systems (door
locks, gate openers, doggie doors, remote sensors and their intercommunication); and other General Purpose
applications.
The three-channel transponder analog front end provides bi-directional LF
communication, commonly used in PKE and RFID applications. KEELOQ technology is based on a proprietary, non-linear
encryption algorithm that creates a unique transmission on every use, rendering code capture and resend schemes
useless. Additional key features of the PIC16F639 microcontroller include:
• Precision 8
MHz internal oscillator with software clock switching
• Up to 3.5 Kbytes of Flash program
memory
• 128 bytes of RAM
• 256 bytes of EEPROM
• Two analog comparators
• One 8-bit Timer, one 16-bit Timer
nanoWatt low-power and reliability features Include:
• Ultra Low Power Wakeup
(ULPW)
• Software-selectable Brownout Reset (BOR)
• Programmable
Low Voltage Detect (PLVD)
• Wakeup Reset (WUR) feature
• Enhanced
Watchdog Timer (EWDT)
LF analog front end features include:
•
Three channels for omni-directional 125 kHz wireless communications
• 3 mV input
sensitivity
• Programmable antenna tuning
• Supports batteryless
