Abstract

See full text

An integrated circuit for use in remote keyless entry (RKE) applications is disclosed that integrates two drivers with a shared dual mode antenna. The drivers may be integrated on a single integrated circuit chip using high voltage (HV) complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) processes. In immobilizer mode of operation, an immobilizer driver coupled to the dual mode antenna is configured to drive the dual mode antenna, while an LF mode driver coupled to the dual mode antenna is configured to be idle. In LF mode of operation, the LF mode driver is configured to drive the dual mode antenna, while the immobilizer driver is configured to be idle. In some implementations, the drivers are coupled to a common node coupled to the dual mode antenna and are selectively biased with different supply voltages based on the current mode of operation to prevent current leakage and component damage.
