DATA
VT
The KH Series receiver module is designed to receive transmissions from a
matching KH Series transmitter module or other compatible Linx transmitter
product. When transmitted data is received, the data is presented to the on-
board decoder. If the incoming address data matches the local address settings,
the decoder's outputs are set to replicate the states of the transmitter’s data
lines.
The RF section of the KH module utilizes an advanced single-conversion
superhet design that incorporates a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) device, high
IF frequency and multi-layer ceramic filters. The SAW device provides a highly
accurate Local Oscillator (LO) frequency source with excellent immunity to
frequency shift due to age or temperature. The use of SAW devices in both the
KH transmitter and receiver modules allows the receiver’s pass opening to be
quite narrow, thus increasing sensitivity and reducing susceptibility to near-band
interference.

DECODER OPERATION
The KH Series receiver internally utilizes the
HT658 decoder from Holtek. The decoders
receive data transmitted by the encoders and
interpret the first 10 bits of the code period as
address and the last 8 bits as data. A signal
on the DATA line then activates the oscillator,
which in turns decodes the incoming address
and data. The decoders will check the
received address twice continuously. If the
received address code matches the
decoder’s local address, the 8 bits of data are
replicated on the output lines, and the VT line
is set high to indicate the reception of a valid
transmission. That will last until the address
code is incorrect or no signal has been
received. The VT line is high only when the
transmission is valid, otherwise it is low
always. The output type is momentary. The
data outputs follow the encoder during a valid
transmission and then reset.
Power On
THE DATA OUTPUTS
When data is received and the incoming address data matches with the local
address settings, the module’s eight data output lines are set to replicate the
state of the transmitter’s data lines. In addition, the valid transmission line (VT,
pin 11) will go high to indicate reception and decoding of the data. The data lines
have a low sink and source capability so external buffering is generally required
if loads are to be driven directly.
In addition to the decoded data outputs, raw data is also available via a CMOS-
compatible data output (DATA, pin 10). The output of this pad is the actual
received data stream from the receiver and is always active regardless of
address line status. It is made available for troubleshooting or monitoring internal
data flow. It can also be used in mixed mode systems where data may come
from another source in addition to a KH Series transmitter module. This data can
then be channeled to an external processor for decoding.

RECEIVING DATA
Although the internal decoder handles all of the decoding and output for
transmissions from a KH Series transmitter or an OEM transmitter, the KH series
receiver will output the raw received data on the DATA line. This allows the
designer to create a mixed system of KH transmitters and OEM transmitters for
encoded data as well as LC Series or LR Series transmitters for custom data.
When using the KH for custom data transmissions, it is important to realize that
there is no encoding or decoding done internally. It is up to the designer to
implement a noise tolerant protocol to ensure the integrity of the data. The
section titled Protocol Guidelines in this manual will give some suggestions as
well as application note #AN00160.
The KH Receiver uses the LC Series receiver, which has a CMOS compatible
output capable of directly driving a microprocessor, RS232 level converter, or a
Linx QS Series USB module. The LC Series receiver manual can be consulted
for more details on the operation of the receiver itself.

POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
The module does not have an internal voltage
Vcc TO
regulator; therefore it requires a clean, well-regulated
MODULE
power source. While it is preferable to power the unit
10Ω
from a battery, the unit can also be operated from a
Vcc IN
power supply as long as noise and ‘hash’ are less than
10µF
20mV. Power supply noise will manifest itself as noise
and can significantly affect the receiver sensitivity,
therefore, providing a clean power supply for the
module should be a high design priority.
Figure 11: Supply Filter
A 10Ω resistor in series with the supply followed by a 10µF tantalum capacitor
from Vcc to ground will help in cases where the quality of supply power is poor.
Note that operation from 4.3 to 5.2 volts requires the use of an external 330Ω
resistor placed in-line with the supply to prevent Vcc from exceeding 3.6 volts,
so the dropping resistor can take the place of the 10Ω resistor in the supply filter.
These values may need to be adjusted depending on the noise present on the
supply line.

SETTING THE RECEIVER ADDRESS
The module provides ten tri-state address lines. This allows for the formation of
up to 3
10
or 59,049 unique receiver-transmitter relationships. Tri-state means
that the address lines have three distinct states: high, low, and floating. These
lines may be hardwired or configured via a microprocessor, DIP switch or
jumpers.
The receiver's address line states must match the transmitter’s exactly for a
transmission to be recognized. If the transmitted address does not match the
receiver’s local address, then the receiver will take no action.
Page 6
Page 7
PROTOCOL GUIDELINES
While many RF solutions impose data formatting and balancing requirements,
Linx RF modules do not encode or packetize the signal content in any manner.
Naturally the received signal will be affected by such factors as noise, edge jitter,
and interference but it is not purposefully manipulated or altered by the modules.
This gives the designer tremendous flexibility for protocol design and interface.
Despite this transparency and ease of use it must be recognized that there are
distinct differences between a wired and a wireless environment. Issues such as
interference and contention must be understood and allowed for in the design
process. To learn more about protocol considerations we suggest you read Linx
application note #00160.
Errors from interference or changing signal conditions can cause corruption of
the data packet, so it is generally wise to structure the data being sent into small
packets. This allows errors to be managed without affecting large amounts of
data. A simple checksum or CRC could be used for basic error detection Once
an error is detected the protocol designer may wish to simply discard the corrupt
data or implement a more sophisticated scheme to correct it.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
The figure below shows an example of a basic remote control receiver utilizing
the KH Series receiver. When a key is pressed on the transmitter, a
corresponding line on the receiver goes high. A schematic for the transmitter /
encoder circuit may be found in the KH Series transmitter data guide. These
circuits are implemented in the KH Series Basic Evaluation kit. These circuits
can be easily modified for a custom application and clearly demonstrate the ease
of using the Linx KH Series modules for remote control applications.

INTERFERENCE CONSIDERATIONS
The RF spectrum is crowded and the potential for conflict with other unwanted
sources of RF is very real. While all RF products are at risk from interference, its
effects can be minimized by better understanding its characteristics.
Interference may come from internal or external sources. The designer’s first
responsibility is to eliminate interference from sources under their control. This
means paying careful attention to layout, grounding, filtering and bypassing in
order to eliminate all radiated and conducted interference paths. For many
products this is straightforward, however, products containing components such
as switching power supplies, motors, crystals, and other potential sources of
noise must be approached with care. Comparing your own design with a Linx
evaluation board can help to determine if and at what level design-specific
interference is present.
External interference can manifest itself in a variety of ways. Low-level
interference will produce noise and hashing on the output and reduce the link’s
overall range.
High-level interference is caused by products sharing the same frequency in
proximity or from near-band high-power devices. It can even come from your
own products if more than one transmitter is active in the same area. It is always
important to remember that only one transmitter at a time can occupy a
frequency regardless of the coding of the transmitted signal. In most instances,
this type of interference is less common than those mentioned previously, but in
severe cases it can prevent all useful function of the affected device.
Although technically it is not interference, multipath is also a factor to be
understood. Multipath is a term used to refer to the signal cancellation effects
that occur when RF waves arrive at the receiver in different phase relationships.
This effect is a particularly significant factor in interior environments where
objects provide many different signal reflection paths. Multipath cancellation
results in lowered signal levels at the receiver and, thus, shorter useful distances
for the link.
Page 8
Figure 12: Basic Remote Control Receiver
The ten-position DIP switch is used to set the address to either ground or
floating. Since the floating state is a valid state, no pull-up resistors are needed.
The data line outputs can only source about 1mA of current so transistor buffers
are used to drive the buzzer and LED. 1mA is sufficient to activate most
microcontrollers, but the manufacturer’s data guides should be consulted to
make sure.
The KH Series receiver / decoder module is also suitable for use with the Linx
OEM handheld transmitters. These transmitters are FCC certified making
product introduction extremely quick. Information on these transmitters can be
found on the Linx website at www.linxtechnologies.com.
