As shown in the application circuit below, it requires only the addition of input switches and RF circuitry for use as the transmitter in the end application. Transmission is automatic without user intervention. On detecting a switch closure The RF803E will wake up transmit a secure data packet on the TX output. The RF803E uses a fully balanced Manchester encoded data protocol designed for optimum use of the radio transmission path. Each RF803E is programmed at the time of manufacture with a unique 16-bit serial number, which provides a secure way of addressing RF800 series devices. This provides up to 65,536 possible addresses. Compatibility with RF Solutions Receivers The RF803 series are compatible with the FireFly/FireBlade series and 210-433/525/458 series of ready to operate receiver decoder units. This enables a designer to easily integrate a remote control function into an application using a ready made receiver DS803-7 April 04 ©2008 RF Solutions Ltd, www.rfsolutions.co.uk Tel 01273 898000 Fax 01273 480661 Page 2 Encoder / Decoder IC’s RF803 Pin Descriptions RF803E See Page 8 for typical application circuit SOT23 Pin Number 1 3 6 2 4 5 PDIP Pin Number 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 N/C 1 VCC 2 RF803E PDIP DFN 8 IP 3 7 GND TX 3 6 N/C IP 2 4 5 IP1 Name Input / Output Description IP 1 IP 2 IP 3 GND TX Vcc IP IP IP IP OP IP Switch input 1 (active low) Switch input 2 (active low) Switch input 3 (active low) Supply GND Data output Supply Voltage Name Vcc TX IP 2 IP1 GDN IP3 Input / Output IP OP IP IP OP IP Description Not Connected Supply Voltage Data output Switch input 2 (active low) Switch Input 1 (active low) Not Connected Ground Connection Switch Input 3 (active low) IP 1-3 These are the switch inputs which when operated wake up the RF803E and cause transmission. They may be switched directly to Ground. Transmission occurs for the duration of the switch operation. Vcc The power supply needs to be a stable regulated voltage between 2.5 and 5.5V with <10mV ripple. Note that in idle mode the transmitter current drain is typically only 100nA. GND Ground connection TX Data Output, this is a standard CMOS / TTL output that may be connected directly to the data input pin of the RF Module. In the event that this represents a load to Vcc then a buffer stage between the data output and the RF module will be required.

As shown in the typical application circuits, in the stand alone operation the RF803D has the capability to learn up to 15 unique RF803E transmitters. Vcc O/P 1 STATUS LED O/P 2 LEARN RF806D O/P 3 SERIAL DATA MOM/LATCH DATA IN GND The RF803D is connected directly to the data output of a radio receiver module and upon detection of a valid data packet it will decode the data stream. The RF803D will then assert its digital outputs which will match the state of the RF803E encoders’ learnt at the time of transmission. The digital outputs may be configured as latching or momentary action. Latch = the output will change state on each successive transmit of the encoder. Momentary = the output will only operate for as long as the RF803E encoder is transmitting. The RF803D requires only the addition of the following components 1. A ‘Learn’ switch which is used in the process of learning a transmitter/encoder to the decoder and also to initiate erasure of encoder information. 2. An LED which indicates the status of the learn process, the erase process and also data reception status. 3. An Option link which configures the action of the digital outputs. This input may simply be tied to Vcc or GND. Compatibility with RF Solutions Transmitters: The RF803 series are compatible with the FireFly/FireBlade series and 205 series of ready to operate transmitter encoders (when using FM) This enables a designer to integrate a remote control function into an application easily, by using a ready made transmitter.

Each time a switch is pressed, the transmitter emits a highly secure RF signal. The Receiver can learn this signal and allocate to an output. Any transmitter switch may be paired to one or many of the receiver’s outputs, or a transmitter single switch may be paired to any number of receiver’s outputs to enable a powerful and flexible remote control system. The only limitation is that each receiver has a maximum capacity of 15 pairings, these can be from the same or any number of transmitters. Hint: the same transmitter may be taught to any number of receivers to create ‘master keys’. Learn Mode: Learn input activation is achieved by pulling this input to GND briefly To learn a new transmitter switch follow this procedure (as application circuit) Any Encoder input can be learnt to one or many of the receiver outputs. Each input must be learnt to each output individually by following this procedure: 1. Select the receiver output to learn: a. Briefly operate the receiver Learn switch (SW1) once b. The Learn LED will flash once to indicate that output 1 is selected c. After the LED stops flashing, press the Learn switch again to select the next output channel d. Repeat step c until the required output is selected. 2. Operate whichever input on the encoder you want to learn to the selected decoder output. 3. The Learn LED will then illuminate, within 10secs, operate the same encoder input again. 4. The Learn LED will then flash to indicate learning is complete. Erase Mode (As application circuit): is achieved by pulling this input to GND for >8 seconds. This causes the internal EEPROM to be erased of all pre-learnt RF803E encoders. During Erase the Learn LED will activate, it will extinguish when erase is complete. Mom / Latch This high impedance input is used to set the digital outputs to momentary or latched actions LKIN Status Open Closed Digital Outputs Function Latching Momentary Serial Data Output The RF803D has a serial data output. This outputs the serial number, button and battery status of the transmitter encoder (RF803E). This data may be fed directly to a microcontroller or RS232 type driver circuit which may then be fed directly to a PC serial port. Serial data is output initially and again every ½ second whilst data is being received from the RF803E transmitter. i.e. this output is valid regardless of whether the RF803E encoder has been learnt to the RF803D decoder or not. The serial data packet contains a learn bit to show if an encoder input is learnt.
