FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
1. TRANSMISSION CODE
SC6121
The transmission code consists of a leader code, 16-bits custom codes, and 8-bits data codes. The inverse
code of the data code is also sent simultaneously. The following diagram shows this one frame construction.

The leader codes consist of a 9ms carrier waveform followed by a 4.5ms OFF waveform. It is used as the leader
for the following code. Thus, when reception is configured by a microcomputer, the time relationship between the
reception detection and other processes can be managed efficiently. The code uses the PPM (Pulse Position
Modulation) Method, with "0" and "1" differentiated by the time between pulses. Each code consists of 8 bits, and
simultaneous transmission of the inverse code allows configuration of a system with an extremely low error rate.

3. KEY INPUT
A total of 32 keys can be connected by SC6121 Key Input Pins--KI0~KI3 and the Timing Signal Output Pins
KI/O0~KI/O7.
Double Key Operation is possible for only Key No.21 in combination with other keys connected to the KI/O5 line
namely: Key No.22,23 or 24.thus, only the following key combinations may be used for the double key operation:
1. Key Nos.21 and 22
2. Key Nos.21 and 23
3. Key Nos.21 and 24

Pull-down resistors are connected between the Key Input and Vss Pins. When more than one key (except the
double key combinations: K21+22, K21+23, K21+24) are pressed simultaneously, the transmission output stops.
Two key inputs are regarded as being pressed simultaneously when the time interval between these two key
entries is less than 36ms.
The order of priority given to two key inputs with a time interval of more than 36ms is on a First-Pressed-First-
Served or Longer-Pressed-First-Served Basis.
When a key is pressed, the custom and data codes are read. 36ms later, the Remote (REM) Output is activated.
When the key is kept depressed during this 36ms, one transmission is outputted. If the key is depressed for more
than 108ms, then the only the leader code is transmitted continuously.
4. DOUBLE KEY OPERATION
Double Key Operation is useful for operations such as tape deck recording. The following table shows the Key
Data corresponding to the double keys pressed. Also refer to the Key Input Section.
The Double Key operation forms are as follows:
