HT12D RF Decoder IC

The IC HT12D can be used only with its pair HT12E. These two ICs together form an Encoder and Decoder pair. They are 12-bit Encoders/Decoders, meaning they can transmit 12-bit a data among them. But your encoder IC should not communicate with someone else's decoder IC, so an Encoder and Decoder IC pair will share a common Address which is an 8-bit data. So out of the 12-bits 8-bits will be used to set address and the remaining 4-bit will be used to transmit data.  With 4-bit data we can create 16 types (2^4 =16) of combinations. These IC’s are commonly used with RF pairs or IR pairs. So if you are working on a project which has to transmit a 4-bit data from one end to other either by wire or wireless then this IC pair will be best suited for you. Specifications: 12-bit Decoder IC to be used with HT12E Decoded data has 4 Data bits and 8 Address bits (8+4=12-bits) Commonly used for RF and IR wireless transmission Operating Voltage 5V Low stand by current of 0.1uA at Vcc=5V
