1 Introduction
The TMS3637 is a versatile 3-V to 6-V remote control transmitter/receiver in a small package that requires
no external dual-in-line package (DIP) switches on the system circuit board. The device can be easily set
for one of many transmit/receive configurations using configuration codes along with the desired security
code, both of which are user programmable. When used as a transmitter, the device encodes the stored
security code, transmits it to the remote receiver using any transmission media such as direct wiring,
infrared, or radio frequency. When configured as a receiver, the TMS3637 continuously monitors and
decodes the transmitted security code (at speeds that can exceed 90 kHz) and activates the output of the
device when a match with its internally stored code has been found. All programmed data is stored in
nonvolatile EEPROM memory. With more than four million codes alterable only with a programming station,
the TMS3637 is well suited for remote control system designs that require high security and accuracy.
Schematics of the programming station and other suggested circuits are included in this data manual.
In addition to the device configuration and security code capabilities, the TMS3637 includes several internal
features that normally require additional circuitry in a system design. These include an amplifier/comparator
for detection and shaping of input signals as low as several millivolts (typically used when an RF link is
employed) and an internal oscillator (used to clock the transmitted or received security code).
The TMS3637 is characterized for operation from – 25
°
C to 85
