HT12E Encoder IC

Overview

The HT12E is a 212 series of encoder ICs designed for remote control systems, specifically for RF and infrared applications. It is a 12-bit encoder that converts decimal addresses and data into a serial format for transmission over a wireless medium.

Functionality

The HT12E encoder IC takes in 12-bit parallel data and address inputs and converts them into a serial output. The IC generates a series of clock pulses along with the data output, making it suitable for remote control systems that require encoding and decoding of data.

The HT12E can operate in two modes

VT (Transmission Mode) and VP (Standby Mode). In VT mode, the IC generates a serial output based on the input data and address. In VP mode, the IC goes into standby, reducing power consumption.

Key Features

12-bit Parallel Input: The HT12E has 12 parallel input pins, allowing for 2^12 (4096) possible address and data combinations.
Serial Output: The IC generates a serial output that consists of a series of clock pulses and data bits.
Operating Frequency: The HT12E operates at a frequency range of 1-20 kHz, making it suitable for various remote control applications.
Low Power Consumption: The IC has a low power consumption of 1.5mA (typical) in VT mode and 0.5mA (typical) in VP mode, making it suitable for battery-powered devices.
High Noise Immunity: The HT12E has a high noise immunity due to its internal oscillator, which helps reject noise and interference.
Temperature Range: The IC operates over a temperature range of -20C to 75C, making it suitable for use in various environmental conditions.
Package Options: The HT12E is available in 18-pin DIP (Dual In-Line Package) and 20-pin SOP (Small Outline Package) packages.

Pin Configuration

HT12E Encoder IC Documentation
The HT12E is a 2^12 encoder IC, a popular component in IoT and wireless communication systems. This device is used to encode 12-bit parallel data into a serial format for transmission over wireless mediums. Here's a detailed explanation of the HT12E's pins and their connections:
Pinout:
The HT12E has 18 pins, arranged in two rows of 9 pins each. The pin configuration is as follows:
Row 1 ( Pins 1-9):
1. VCC (Pin 1): Supply Voltage (Positive)
Connect to a power source (typically +5V) to power the IC.
2. A0-A11 (Pins 2-13): Data Input Pins
These pins accept 12-bit parallel data to be encoded.
Connect the data lines from a microcontroller or other devices to these pins.
3. TE (Pin 14): Transmission Enable
Active-low input. When low, the encoder is enabled, and data is transmitted.
Connect to a logic low (GND) to enable transmission.
Row 2 (Pins 15-18):
15. OSC1 (Pin 15): Oscillator Pin 1
Connect a resistor (R1) between OSC1 and VCC to determine the oscillator frequency.
16. OSC2 (Pin 16): Oscillator Pin 2
Connect a capacitor (C1) between OSC2 and GND to determine the oscillator frequency.
17. DOUT (Pin 17): Data Output
Serial data output pin. Connect to a transmission medium (e.g., RF module, antenna, or another IC).
18. VSS (Pin 18): Ground
Connect to the power source's ground (GND) to complete the circuit.
Connection Structure:
1. Power Supply:
Connect VCC (Pin 1) to a +5V power source.
Connect VSS (Pin 18) to the power source's ground (GND).
2. Data Input:
Connect the 12-bit parallel data lines from a microcontroller or other devices to the A0-A11 pins (Pins 2-13).
3. Oscillator Circuit:
Connect a resistor (R1) between OSC1 (Pin 15) and VCC (Pin 1).
Connect a capacitor (C1) between OSC2 (Pin 16) and VSS (Pin 18).
4. Transmission Enable:
Connect TE (Pin 14) to a logic low (GND) to enable transmission.
5. Data Output:
Connect DOUT (Pin 17) to a transmission medium (e.g., RF module, antenna, or another IC).
Note:
The HT12E requires an external oscillator circuit (R1 and C1) to generate the clock signal for encoding.
The transmission frequency depends on the values of R1 and C1. Consult the datasheet for specific values and calculation guidelines.
Ensure proper connection and isolation of the pins to prevent damage or incorrect operation.

    pinMode(dataPins[i], OUTPUT);
  }
  pinMode(tePin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(doutPin, OUTPUT);
}

  // Send serial data
  for (int i = 0; i < 12; i++) {
    digitalWrite(doutPin, data[i]);
    delayMicroseconds(500); // 500 us delay between bits
  }
  
  // Set TE low to disable transmission
