Linx Intros DS Series Encoder/Decoder Replaces Holtek® Products with a Robust Serial
Protocol
|

February 13, 2013
— The new
DS Series Encoder/Decoder IC from Linx makes it simple to add a robust serial protocol with
the ease of DIP switch addressing. The DS lets users set up to 1,022 unique addresses for reliable
communication between devices, similar to older Holtek® products, but with a stable serial protocol.
Testing shows greater than 2X range increase in reliable, stable communication over the Holtek®
protocol, with the DS Series device in serial protocol mode.
The
market exit by Holtek® from the DIP switch device market has left many customers in a lurch
– Linx is here to help you out. In addition to its robust serial protocol the DS Encoder/Decoder
IC includes support for the older Holtek® protocol, providing a migration path for the many
applications using Holtek® devices, such as the HT640 and HT658. Compatibility with other Holtek®
devices is possible, contact Linx for further information.
To aid rapid development,
the DS Series Encoder/Decoder is available as part of a basic evaluation system. The system
comes with two evaluation boards for benchmarking and prototyping, one with a Linx LR Transmitter
and DS Encoder and another with a Linx LR Receiver and DS Decoder.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
