Control44
4 bit Address - 4 bit Data encoder/decoder
Control44 is a 4 bit address, 4 bit data
encoder and decoder combined in a single
IC. This device can operate in either Encode
or Decode mode. It uses 1kbps differential
Manchester bit balancing with preamble
and
checksum.CTR44
is
specifically
designed to be used in RF remote control
applications. It is available in 20pin SSOP,
18pin SOIC and PDIP packages.
