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.
Key features The NXP NCF2960 is a second-generation Combo-key solution

`` Single-chip security transponder and keyless entry solution that combines a transponder, a microcontroller, and a radio
`` 16-bit Harvard architecture transmitter in a tiny (4 x 4 mm) footprint.
`` On-chip UHF transmitter (315 / 434 / 868 / 915 MHz band)
`` Transponder emulation based on HT3, HT-AES, or HT-Pro 2 The basic transponder operation is compatible with NXP’s
`` Calculation unit supporting HT3 (96-bit) and AES (128-bit) security transponder families, including HT3, HT-AES, and `
`` 16 KB user EROM for application HT-Pro2. Custom transponder functions can be implemented
`` 2 KB ultra-low-power EEPROM using the ROM library of the device by the application.
`` 1 KB RAM
`` Up to eight command buttons with wake-up function The transponder circuitry is powered from the LF field and
`` I/O with current source for direct LED drive does not require a device battery supply. As a result, full
`` Stabilized RF output power operation is possible even when the battery is low.
`` Temperature sensor
`` Single lithium cell operation (2.1 to 3.6 V) The RISC controller uses NXP’s third-generation Micro RISC
`` C-compiler supported software development Kernel (MRK III), a low-power implementation that features
`` HVQFN24 (4 x 4 mm) with wettable flanks a 16-bit architecture and executes instructions in a single
machine clock cycle.
Applications
`` Combo-Key applications that combine remote keyless entry
with vehicle immobilization
The on-chip UHF transmitter requires only a single 27.6 MHz memory (with access control defined by the application), 1 KB `
reference crystal and loop antenna matching circuitry to operate of RAM, and up to 16 KB of Flash-like EROM for the application
in one of the following bandwidths: 315 / 434 / 868 / 915 MHz code. The keyless entry code can be generated by the built-in,
