Typical Applications
The outstanding sensitivity of the LR Series receiver offers the best range
when used with the Handheld transmitter. When using the LR Series 
receiver, the DS Series decoder chip should be used to decode the 
received signal. This decoder has ten address lines that must match the 
transmitter address lines. A DIP switch is commonly used to set these, 
but they can also be hardwired. As long as the address lines match, when 
a button on the transmitter is pressed, a corresponding data line on the 
decoder (D0–D7) goes high. These data lines can then be connected 
to external circuitry to perform whatever function is required by the 
application.
Figure 11 shows a typical schematic using the LR Series receiver and the 
DS Series decoder.

Receivers
There are four options for receivers within the Linx 
product line. The first option is to use one of the OEM 
Function Modules, such as the Relay Module. These 
items are also pre-certified and can be immediately 
included in a product.
The other options are to use one of the Linx receiver 
modules. The signal sent by the Keyfob transmitter 
can be received by the LR Series receiver module or 
the LT Series transceiver module. These modules can 
be connected to the DS Series decoder to decode the 
signal, or a custom microcontroller can be programmed 
to decode it and take specific action.
The KH2 or KH3 Series offers a slightly simpler solution 
by combining the LR Series receiver and the Holtek 
or DS Series decoder in a single package. The KH2 
Series receiver only supports the Holtek protocol, not the 
serial protocol. The KH3 Series receiver supports both protocols.
When a button is pressed on the transmitter, a corresponding line on the 
decoder goes high (as long as the addresses match). This can then be 
connected to whatever circuitry is required by the application.
Application Note AN-00300 discusses in detail how to set the addresses 
on all of the units. Data guides for all of the receivers, the Holtek HT640 
encoder, HT658 decoder and the DS Series decoder can be found on the 
Linx website, www.linxtechnologies.com.
