e-Key Secure Access System
Based on iButton™ ICs
Published in issue 293, November 2000
In this day and age it is trendy to put the letter e (for ‘electronic’) in front of many words, names and concepts, for example, e-business, e-life etc. We jump the bandwagon and describe e-Key, a controlled-access system based on iButton integrated circuits from Dallas Semiconductor.The circuit described in this article allows two relays to be controlled with the aid of electronic keys. These keys are based on components manufactured by Dallas Semiconductors, and go by the name ‘iButton’.Designed in the first place to switch alarm systems on and off, the ‘iButton’ component can have many other applications like controlled access to a PC, electronic door openers, etc.
