17. Keyboard Interface
17.1 Introduction
The AT89C5130A/31A-M implements a keyboard interface allowing the connection of a 8 x n
matrix keyboard. It is based on 8 inputs with programmable interrupt capability on both high or
low level. These inputs are available as an alternate function of P1 and allow to exit from idle
and power down modes.
17.2 Description
The keyboard interface communicates with the C51 core through 3 special function registers:
KBLS, the Keyboard Level Selection register (Table 17-3), KBE, The Keyboard interrupt Enable
register (Table 17-2), and KBF, the Keyboard Flag register (Table 17-1).
17.2.1 Interrupt
The keyboard inputs are considered as 8 independent interrupt sources sharing the same inter-
rupt vector. An interrupt enable bit (KBD in IE1) allows global enable or disable of the keyboard
interrupt (see Figure 17-1). As detailed in Figure 17-2 each keyboard input has the capability to
detect a programmable level according to KBLS.x bit value. Level detection is then reported in
interrupt flags KBF.x that can be masked by software using KBE.x bits.
This structure allow keyboard arrangement from 1 by n to 8 by n matrix and allow usage of P1
inputs for other purpose.
