NXP remote keyless entry
transponder combo IC
NCF2960
Compact, single-chip solution
for remote keyless entry
Delivering`rugged`performance`in`a`very`small`(4`x`4`mm)`footprint,`this`highly`integrated`solution`
maximizes`design`freedom`and`is`ideal`for`advanced`Combo-Key`applications.`Special`features`of`
the`integrated`RF`transmitter`support`frequency`hopping`and`ensure`reliable`operation`even`in`
RF-jammed`environments.

` Combo-Key`applications`that`combine`remote`keyless`entry`

The`NXP`NCF2960`is`a`second-generation`Combo-key`solution`
that`combines`a`transponder,`a`microcontroller,`and`a`radio`
transmitter`in`a`tiny`(4`x`4`mm)`footprint.`
The`basic`transponder`operation`is`compatible`with`NXP’s`
security`transponder`families,`including`HT3,`HT-AES,`and``
HT-Pro2.`Custom`transponder`functions`can`be`implemented`
using`the`ROM`library`of`the`device`by`the`application.
The`transponder`circuitry`is`powered`from`the`LF`field`and`
does`not`require`a`device`battery`supply.`As`a`result,`full`
operation`is`possible`even`when`the`battery`is`low.`
The`RISC`controller`uses`NXP’s`third-generation`Micro`RISC`
Kernel`(MRK`III),`a`low-power`implementation`that`features`
a`16-bit`architecture`and`executes`instructions`in`a`single`
machine`clock`cycle.
The`on-chip`UHF`transmitter`requires`only`a`single`27.6 `MHz`
reference`crystal`and`loop`antenna`matching`circuitry`to`operate`
in`one`of`the`following`bandwidths:``315`/`434`/`868`/`915`MHz`
bands.`The`RF`multi-channel`capability`enables`frequency`
hopping`and`ensures`reliable`operation`in`RF-jammed`environments.
There`are`up`to`eight`I/O`ports,`with`one`designed`for`use`with`a`
dedicated`LED`driver`port,`and`up`to`eight`inputs`for`command`
buttons.`There`is`a`temperature`sensor`for`battery`management`
and`an`on-chip`pseudo-random`number`(PRN)`generator`for`use`
with`security`protocols.`
A`fractional-N`PLL`allows`compensation`for`initial`XTL`tolerance.`
The`device`includes`2`KB`of`ultra-low-power`serial`EEPROM`
NCF2960 application diagram
memory`(with`access`control`defined`by`the`application),`1`KB``
of`RAM,`and`up`to`16`KB`of`Flash-like`EROM`for`the`application`
code.`The`keyless`entry`code`can`be`generated`by`the`built-in,`
hardwired`calculation`unit`or`by`a`software-based`algorithm.`
The`device`is`housed`in`a`tiny`24-pin`HVQVN`package`that`
consumes`only`16`mm
2
`of`board`space,`so`it`enables`ultra-
compact`designs`with`maximum`freedom`for`key`styling.`
Wettable`package`flanks`allow`optical`soldering`inspection`
without`an`x-ray.
The`Flash-like`EROM`of`the`device`supports`in-circuitry`
programming`and`debugging`of`the`application`code.
