General Description
The 212 encoders are a series of CMOS LSIs for remote
control system applications. They are capable of encod-
ing information which consists of N address bits and
12-N data bits. Each address/data input can be set to
one of the two logic states. The programmed ad-
dresses/data are transmitted together with the header
bits via an RF or an infrared transmission medium upon
receipt of a trigger signal. The capability to select a TE
trigger on the HT12E or a DATA trigger on the HT12A
further enhances the application flexibility of the 212 se-
ries of encoders. The HT12A additionally provides a
38kHz carrier for infrared systems.

HT12A/HT12E
Rev. 1.10 4 January 24, 2003
Functional Description
Operation
The 212 series of encoders begin a 4-word transmission cycle upon receipt of a transmission enable (TE for the HT12E
or D8~D11 for the HT12A, active low). This cycle will repeat itself as long as the transmission enable (TE or D8~D11) is
held low. Once the transmission enable returns high the encoder output completes its final cycle and then stops as
shown below.
Information Word
If L/M=1 the device is in the latch mode (for use with the latch type of data decoders). When the transmission enable is re-
moved during a transmission, the DOUT pin outputs a complete word and then stops. On the other hand, if L/M=0 the de-
vice is in the momentary mode (for use with the momentary type of data decoders). When the transmission enable is
removed during a transmission, the DOUT outputs a complete word and then adds 7 words all with the ²1²data code.
An information word consists of 4 periods as illustrated below.

Composition of information
Address/Data Waveform
Each programmable address/data pin can be externally set to one of the following two logic states as shown below.
The address/data bits of the HT12A are transmitted with a 38kHz carrier for infrared remote controller flexibility.
Address/Data Programming (Preset)
The status of each address/data pin can be individually pre-set to logic ²high²or ²low². If a transmission-enable signal
is applied, the encoder scans and transmits the status of the 12 bits of address/data serially in the order A0 to AD11 for
the HT12E encoder and A0 to D11 for the HT12A encoder.
During information transmission these bits are transmitted with a preceding synchronization bit. If the trigger signal is
not applied, the chip enters the standby mode and consumes a reduced current of less than 1mA for a supply voltage of
5V.
Usual applications preset the address pins with individual security codes using DIP switches or PCB wiring, while the
data is selected by push buttons or electronic switches.
The following figure shows an application using the HT12E:

Transmission Enable
For the HT12E encoders, transmission is enabled by applying a low signal to the TE pin. For the HT12A encoders,
transmission is enabled by applying a low signal to one of the data pins D8~D11.
Two Erroneous HT12E Application Circuits
The HT12E must follow closely the application circuits provided by Holtek (see the ²Application circuits²).
