  1. Programmable Keyboard/ Display Interface: 8279

  2. Features • Simultaneous Keyboard Display Operations • Scanned Keyboard Mode • Scanned Sensor Mode • Strobed Input Entry Mode • 8-Character Keyboard FIFO • 2-Key Lockout or N-key Rollover with Contact Debounce • Dual 8- or 16-Numerical Display • Single 16-Character Display • Right or Left Entry 16-Byte Display RAM • Mode Programmable from CPU • Programmable Scan Timing • Interrupt output on Key Entry

  3. Features Continued…. • Performs two functions: • Scans a keyboard, detects any key-press and transmits the information related to key pressed to CPU • Puts data received from the CPU, for use by display device • Both functions are done repetitively without involving the CPU, • Three input modes: • Scanned keyboard mode • Scanned sensor matrix mode • Strobed input mode • The display output is through two 4-bit ports which can be used as single 8-bit port.

  4. Functional Description • 40-pin device functionally consist of: • A CPU interface • A set of scan lines • Input lines for key data • Output lines for display data

  5. Pin functions

  6. Pin functions Continued….

  8. Software Operations • Different commands program the 8279 modes which are sent on data bus with CS# low and A0 high and loaded to 8279 with rising edge of WR# • Keyboard/Display Mode Set • Program clock • Read FIFO/Sensor RAM • Read Display RAM • Write Display RAM • Display Write Inhibit/Blanking • Clear • End Interrupt/Error Mode Set

  9. K K K 000: Encoded Scan Keyboard- 2 Key Lock-out * 001: Decoded Scan Keyboard- 2 Key Lock-out 010: Encoded Scan Keyboard- N Key Roll=over 011: Decoded Scan Keyboard- N Key Roll=over 100: Encoded Scan Sensor Matrix 101: Decoded Scan Sensor Matrix 110: Strobed Input, Encoded Display Scan 111: Strobed Input, Encoded Display Scan D D 0 0 : Eight 8-bit character display – left entry 0 1 : Sixteen 8-bit character display – left entry * 1 0 : Eight 8-bit character display – right entry 1 1 : Sixteen 8-bit character display – right entry * : Default after reset Keyboard/Display Mode Set

  10. Program Clock • Timing & multiplexing signals for the 8279 are generated by an internal prescaler • This prescaler divides the external clock by PPPPP bits which ranges from 2 to 31 • Choosing a divisor that yields 100 kHz will give the specified scan and debounce times

  11. Read FIFO/Sensor RAM • The CPU sets the 8279 for a read of the FIFO/Sensor RAM by first writing this command, in the scan keyboard mode the Auto-Increment flag (AI) and the RAM address bits (AAA) are irrelevant. • The 8279 will automatically drive the data bus for each subsequent read (A0 = 0) in the same sequence in which the data first entered the FIFO, all subsequent reads will be from the FIFO until another command is issued • In the Sensor Matrix Mode, AAA select one of the 8 rows of the sensor RAM, if AI = 1, each successive read will be from the subsequent row of the sensor RAM.

  12. Read Display RAM • The CPU sets up the 8279 for a read of the Display RAM by first writing this command. • The address bits AAAA selects one of the 16 rows of the Display RAM. • If AI=1, this row address will be incremented after each following read or write to the display RAM. • Since the same counter is used for both reading and writing, this command sets the next read or write address and the sense of the Auto-Increment mode for both operations.

  13. Write Display RAM • The CPU sets up the 8279 for a write to the Display RAM by first writing this command. • After writing the command with A0=1, all subsequent writes with A0=0, will be to the display RAM. • The addressing and Auto-Increment functions are identical to those for the Read Display RAM.

  14. Display Write Inhibit/Blanking • The IW bits can be used to mask nibble A and nibble B • The BL flags are available to blank each nibble

  15. Clear • The CD bits are available to clear all rows of the display RAM to a selected blanking code. • If CF=1, FIFO status is cleared • CA, the Clear All bit, has the combined effect of CD & CF

  16. End Interrupt/Error Mode Set • For the sensor matrix modes this command lowers the IRQ line & enables further writing into RAM. • For N-key Rollover mode- if the E=1, the chip will work in the special Error mode.

  17. Status Word • Contains FIFO status, error and display unavailable signals. • This word is read by the CPU when A0 is high and CS# & WR# are low.

  18. Data Read • Data is read when A0, CS# & RD# are low • The source of data is specified by the Read FIFO or Read Display commands, • The trailing edge of RD# will cause the address of the RAM being read to be incremented if AI is set, • FIFO reads always increment (if no error occurs) independent of AI.

  19. Data Write • Data that is written with A0, CS# & WR# low is always written to the Display RAM, • The address is specified by the latest Read Display or Write Display command, • Auto-Incrementing on the rising edge of WR# occurs if AI is set by the latest Display command
