Description
MT Series transcoders are designed for 
bidirectional remote control applications. Eight 
status lines can be set up in any combination 
of inputs and outputs for the transfer of button 
or contact states. An automatic confirmation 
indicates that the transmission was successfully 
received. The large, twenty-four bit address size 
makes transmissions highly unique, minimizing 
the possibility of conflict between multiple 
devices. The MT also outputs the ID of the 
originating transcoder for logging or identification. 
Recognition of the individual outputs can be easily 
defined for each device by the manufacturer or 
end user. This allows the creation of user groups and relationships. A Serial 
Interface Engine (SIE) is provided, which allows configuration and editing of 
the device and control of the transcoder by an external microprocessor or 
PC. Housed in a tiny 20-pin SSOP package, MT Series parts feature low 
supply voltage, current consumption and selectable baud rates.
