Product details
Overview
MC145026D from ON Semiconductor (formerly Motorola) is a CMOS encoder IC designed for remote control systems, serially encoding nine trinary/binary address/data lines upon TE signal assertion, operating from 2.5 V to 18 V, with 300 nA max standby current at 25°C, and used in infrared, RF, and ultrasonic transmitters.
For engineers reviewing the MC145026D datasheet, MC145026D pinout, MC145026D application, or MC145026D equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, oscillator timing constraints, trinary input decoding logic, SOG package footprint, and direct alternatives for secure wireless command encoding.
Technical Context
The MC145026D implements a ring counter-based sequencer with internal RC oscillator (no crystal required), generating encoder clock frequencies from 1 kHz to 10 MHz depending on RTC/CTC values. It samples A1–A5 and A6/D6–A9/D9 inputs using weak pull-up/pull-down detection to distinguish low, high, and open states.
Each transmission consists of two identical 9-digit trinary words separated by three data periods; each digit is pulse-encoded as short-short (0), long-long (1), or long-short (open). The Dout output drives modulators directly, with transition times under 450 ns at 2.5 V and 80 ns at 15 V.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar encoder applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SC41343DW | Low-voltage decoder (2.8–10 V), not encoder; pinout and function incompatible with MC145026D. | Designed for paired decoding only; cannot substitute for MC145026D's encoding function. | Select only when building matched encoder/decoder pair with voltage-constrained supply. |
| PT2262 | CMOS encoder with 12 address/data pins, 2262-style encoding, 3–5.5 V operation, no internal oscillator - requires external RC or crystal. | Higher pin count, different encoding protocol, and no trinary open-state detection; requires redesign of address configuration. | Choose when needing more address bits or compatibility with existing PT2272 decoder infrastructure. |
Compared with SC41343DW and PT2262, the MC145026D uniquely integrates trinary input sampling, internal RC oscillator, and dual-word security in a single 16-pin SOG package - making it irreplaceable for legacy Motorola-compatible remote systems requiring 19,683-code addressing and ultra-low standby current.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage for reliable operation of the MC145026D?
The MC145026D is fully specified down to 2.5 V, with guaranteed performance including 300 nA max standby current and functional trinary input detection. Below 2.5 V, oscillator startup and input sampling become unreliable; operation at 2.5 V is validated per Motorola datasheet revision 2 (1998) and supports single-cell lithium or alkaline battery use in the MC145026D.
Does the MC145026D require an external crystal or resonator?
No, the MC145026D uses an internal RC oscillator requiring only two external passive components: RTC and CTC. A third resistor (RS) improves timing stability. Crystal or ceramic resonator is not needed, reducing cost and board space - a key design feature confirmed in the oscillator section of the MC145026D datasheet.
How does the MC145026D detect "open" input states on its address pins?
The MC145026D applies weak internal drive signals to each address pin (A1–A5, A6/D6–A9/D9), first attempting to force high then low. If both states are achievable, the pin is classified as open (high-impedance); if only high or only low results, it is classified as hardwired. This trinary detection is fundamental to the MC145026D's 19,683-code capability and is explicitly detailed in the Operating Characteristics section.
What is the purpose of the dual-word transmission in the MC145026D?
The MC145026D transmits each encoded word twice consecutively to improve noise immunity and security. Decoders like MC145027/MC145028 require both words to match before asserting VT - preventing false triggers from single-packet corruption or EMI bursts. This behavior is inherent to the MC145026D's protocol and documented in Figure 10 and the Applications Information section.
Can the MC145026D operate with standard 5% tolerance resistors and capacitors?
Yes, the MC145026D's RC oscillator design explicitly accommodates ±5% external components, as stated in the datasheet's "High External Component Tolerance" feature. Example R/C values in Table on page 15 confirm use of 5% parts across multiple oscillator frequencies - a critical design advantage for high-volume manufacturing of the MC145026D.
