MPLAB Integrated Development
Environment Software
The same MPLAB IDE software available at
www.microchip.com that is used for microcontroller
software development also supports the K
EE
L
OQ
family
of devices. With this Windows
-based application you
can configure the device options in a graphical environ-
ment. The manufacturer’s code is protected by two
custodian keys so that the secret is split and neither
employee can reveal the code alone. Once both custo-
dian keys have been entered and the options selected,
MPLAB IDE software is ready to produce parts in one
of two ways.
The PRO MATE II Programmer, which is sold sep-
arately, can program individual parts. MPLAB IDE
software can automatically increment the serial
number and recalculate the unique encryption
key, discrimination value and seed for each part.
Creating an SQTP
sm
file that contains all the indi-
vidual device configurations to submit to Micro-
chip for a production run without revealing your
manufacturer’s code. Please contact Microchip
sales office etc., minimum order quantities apply.

Toolkit Software
The K
EE
L
OQ
Secure Solution CD-ROM is available
free and can be ordered with part number DS40038.
After accepting the K
EE
L
OQ
license agreement, it will
let you install application notes with complete decoder
algorithms as well as the K
EE
L
OQ
toolkit. The toolkit is
a handy application that generates encryption keys
from the manufacturer’s code and serial number or
seed. It can also decrypt K
EE
L
OQ
transmitter’s hopping
code to help debug and test your decoder software.
8.3
PRO MATE II Universal Device
Programmer
The PRO MATE II universal device programmer is a
full-featured programmer, capable of operating in
stand-alone mode, as well as PC-hosted mode. The
PRO MATE II device programmer is CE compliant.
The PRO MATE II device programmer has programma-
ble V
DD
and V
PP
supplies, which allow it to verify pro-
grammed memory at V
DD
min and V
DD
max for
maximum reliability. It has an LCD display for instruc-
tions and error messages, keys to enter commands
and a modular detachable socket assembly to support
various package types.
Microchip has various socket adapter modules avail-
able for PDIP, SOIC and SSOP devices. An In-Circuit
Serial Programming (ICSP) module is also avail-
able for programming devices after circuit assembly.

Evaluation Kit II
The K
EE
L
OQ
Evaluation Kit II contains all the necessary
hardware to evaluate a code hopping system, including
two transmitters and a multi-function receiver board
that supports all HCS5XX stand-alone decoders. Addi-
tionally, it allows the users to develop their own soft-
ware to receive, decode and interpret the K
EE
L
OQ
transmission. The included PC software can configure
and program the K
EE
L
OQ
parts for evaluation
(DM303006).

Transponder Evaluation
Kit
The K

Transponder Evaluation Kit consists of a
base station, a transmitter/transponder, a battery-less
transponder and various HCS4XX samples. It also
includes the PC software to configure and program the
K
EE
L
OQ
parts for evaluation (DM303005).
