General Description
12
The 2 decoders are a series of CMOS LSIs for
remote control system applications. They are
12
paired with Holtek¢s 2 series of encoders (re-
fer to the encoder/decoder cross reference ta-
b l e ) . F or p r op er op er a t i on, a p a i r o f
encoder/decoder with the same number of ad-
dresses and data format should be chosen.
The decoders receive serial addresses and data
12
from a programmed 2 series of encoders that
are transmitted by a carrier using an RF or an
IR transmission medium. They compare the se-
rial input data three times continuously with

codes are found, the input data codes are de-
coded and then transferred to the output pins.
The VT pin also goes high to indicate a valid

The 2 series of decoders are capable of decod-
ing informations that consist of N bits of ad-
dress and 12-N bits of data. Of this series, the
HT12D is arranged to provide 8 address bits
and 4 data bits, and HT12F is used to decode 12
bits of address information.

Functional Description

Operation
12
The 2 series of decoders provides various com-
binations of addresses and data pins in differ-
12
ent packages so as to pair with the 2 series of
encoders.
The decoders receive data that are transmitted
by an encoder and interpret the first N bits of
Flowchart
The oscillator is disabled in the standby state
and activated when a logic ²high² signal applies
to the DIN pin. That is to say, the DIN should be
kept low if there is no signal input.
P o w e r o n

code period as addresses and the last 12-N bits

as data, where N is the address code number. A
signal on the DIN pin activates the oscillator S ta n d b y m o d e

which in turn decodes the incoming address

and data. The decoders will then check the re- N o D is a b le V T &
ceived address three times continuously. If the C o d e in ? ig n o r e th e r e s t o f
th is w o r d
received address codes all match the contents of
Y e s
the decoder¢s local address, the 12-N bits of
data are decoded to activate the output pins
A d d r e s s b its N o
and the VT pin is set high to indicate a valid m a tc h e d ?
transmission. This will last unless the address
code is incorrect or no signal is received. Y e s
The output of the VT pin is high only when the S to re d a ta
transmission is valid. Otherwise it is always
low.

Of the 2 series of decoders, the HT12F has no Y e s
data output pin but its VT pin can be used as a
momentary data output. The HT12D, on the N o 3 tim e s
