The Code Word Blanking Enable (CWBE) option may
be used to reduce the average power of a transmission
by transmitting only every second or every fourth code
word
(Figure 3-7).
This
determined in conjunction with the baud rate selection
bit RFBSL (Table 3-7).

is
Enabling the CWBE option may similarly allow the user
to transmit a higher amplitude transmission as the time
averaged power is reduced. CWBE effectively halves
the RF on-time for a given transmission so the RF out-
put power could theoretically be doubled while main-
taining the same time averaged output power.

DELAYED INCREMENT (DINC)
The HCS412
’s Delayed Increment feature advances
the synchronization counter by 12 a period of T
TO
after
the encoder activation occurs, for additional security.
The next activation will show a synchronization counter
increase of 13, not 1.
If the active button is released before the time-out T
TO
has elapsed, the device stops transmitting but remains
powered for the duration of the time-out period. The
device will then advance the stored synchronization
counter by 12 before powering down.
If the active button is released before the time-out T
TO
has elapsed and another activation occurs while wait-
ing out the time-out period, the time-out counter will
RESET and the resulting transmission will contain syn-
chronization counter value +1.

PLL INTERFACE
If the RFEN/S2/LC1 pin is configured as an RF enable
output, the pin’s behavior is coordinated with the DATA
pin to enable a typical PLL’s ASK or FSK mode.
The PLL Interface (AFSK) configuration option controls
the output as shown in Figure 3-8.

LED OUTPUT
During normal operation (good battery), while transmit-
ting data the device’s LED pin will periodically be driven
low as indicated in Figure 3-9.
If the supply voltage drops below the trip point specified
by VLDWSEL, the LED pin will be driven low only once
for a longer period of time.
3.4.7
LONG PREAMBLE (LPRE)
Enabling the Long Preamble configuration option
extends the first code word’s 50% duty cycle preamble
to a ‘long’ preamble time T
LPRE
. The longer preamble
will be a square wave at the selected RFT
E
(Figure 3-10).
