CALCULATOR KEYPAD INTERFACE

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Electro Systems Associates Private Limited (ESA) manufactures trainers for most of the popular

microprocessors viz 8085, Z-80, 6502, 8031, 68000 and 8086/8088 . ESA offers a variety of

modules which can be interfaced to these trainers. These modules can be effectively used for

teaching/training in the laboratories.

In many microprocessor based systems, calculator keypad is used as an input device. A calculator

keypad can be interfaced to a microprocessor using a dedicated peripheral controller like INTEL

8279A Keyboard/Display controller. In this case, the controller can handle the interface problems

like key debounce, 2-key lock-out, N-key roll-over etc,. Further, such controllers can directly

encode the position of the depressed key. In an alternative approach, the calculator keypad interface

is passive and software is used for encoding the key positions and for handling problems like key

debounce, roll-over etc.

The present interface module provides a calculator style calculator keypad consisting of the keys 0

to 9, + ,-, x, =, %, ., C, CE and two spare keys. These 20 keys are arranged in a 3x8 matrix (the

third row has only 4 keys). The row lines can be driven through port C (Bits PC2, PC1 and PC0)

and the status of column lines can be read through port A. This interface allows the user to study

a number of techniques generally used in calculator keypad interfacing. User can write programs

for software debouncing of key closures, two-key lock out, keyboard encoding and parsing etc

to gain a good understanding of keyboard interface. Further, user can become familiar with the

arithmetic group of processor instructions by implementing the calculator functions like

Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Percentage etc.

2.0 DESCRIPTION OF THE CIRCUIT

Please refer to the schematic of this interface presented in Appendix B.

It can be seen that the 20 keys are arranged in a 3x8 matrix fashion. The row lines are driven by

PC0, PC1 and PC2. The column lines are read through port A. When no key is pressed, all the

return lines are low. The rows are driven high one after another in sequence. When a row is

driven high, pressing a key in that row causes the corresponding return line to be read as high.

Then it scan for the column for which the key is depressed. The row and column positions can then

be used to encode the key. As the scanning of the rows occurs at very high speed compared to

human reaction times, there is no danger of missing a key depression. Further issues like

debounce etc have to be handled through appropriate software routines.

The sample program presented in the next section illustrates some of these techniques. User can

develop the software for other functions (for eg: calculator functions) and test the results.

3.0 INSTALLATION

The interface is housed in a plastic enclosure which has a locking mechanism. To open the cover,

push the locking mechanism with the finger and lift the cover to open.

The interface module has a 26-pin connector at one edge of the card. This is used for connecting the

interface to the trainer with a flat cable connector set. The +5V DC power required by this

interface is drawn from the trainer via the flat cable connector set.

Table 3-1 shows the connector on various trainers for which the interface can be connected. Some

trainers have two connectors and either may be used for connecting the interface to the trainer.

The demonstration programs presented in this manual assumes that the interface is connected to

connectors shown in column A. If the connector shown in column B is used, then user has to

change the port addresses appropriately. User may refer to the component layout diagrams of

respective ESA trainers to locate the connectors mentioned here.

4.0 DEMONSTRATION EXAMPLES

A sample program to illustrate the operation of this interface is presented below:

This program encodes the key position as follows:

Key code = D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0

where

D7 = D6 = 0

D5 D4 D3 = row number (000 or 001 or 010)

D2 D1 D0 = column number (000 to 111)

Examples:

a) Key labeled 7 is in row 0 and column 7

so D5 D4 D3 = 000 and

D2 D1 D0 = 111

Code = 00 000 111 = 07H

b) Key labeled X is in row 1 and column 5

so D5 D4 D3 = 001 and

D2 D1 D0 = 101

Code = 00 001 101 = 0DH

c) Key labeled CE is in row2 and column 1

so D5 D4 D3 = 010 and

D2 D1 D0 = 001

code = 00 010 001 = 11H

The encoding of the other keys can be worked out in a similar way.

The program is written as an infinite loop. So, user must press the RESET key to allow the

monitor program to regain control.
