Keyboard Initialization
If the MODEK bit is set, the keyboard interrupt pins are both falling edge- and low level-sensitive, and both
of the following actions must occur to clear a keyboard interrupt request:
• Vector fetch or software clear — A vector fetch generates an interrupt acknowledge signal to clear
the interrupt request. Software may generate the interrupt acknowledge signal by writing a logic 1
to the ACKK bit in the keyboard status and control register (KBSCR). The ACKK bit is useful in
applications that poll the keyboard interrupt pins and require software to clear the keyboard
interrupt request. Writing to the ACKK bit prior to leaving an interrupt service routine also can
prevent spurious interrupts due to noise. Setting ACKK does not affect subsequent transitions on
the keyboard interrupt pins. A falling edge that occurs after writing to the ACKK bit latches another
interrupt request. If the keyboard interrupt mask bit, IMASKK, is clear, the CPU loads the program
counter with the KBI vector address.
• Return of all enabled keyboard interrupt pins to a high level. As long as any enabled keyboard
interrupt pin is low, the keyboard interrupt remains set.
The vector fetch or software clear and the return of all enabled keyboard interrupt pins to a high level may
occur in any order.
If the MODEK bit is clear, the keyboard interrupt pin is falling edge-sensitive only. With MODEK clear, a
vector fetch or software clear immediately clears the keyboard interrupt request.
Reset clears the keyboard interrupt request and the MODEK bit, clearing the interrupt request even if a
keyboard interrupt pin stays low.
The keyboard flag bit (KEYF) in the keyboard status and control register can be used to see if a pending
interrupt exists. The KEYF bit is not affected by the keyboard interrupt mask bit (IMASKK) which makes
it useful in applications where polling is preferred.
To determine the logic level on a keyboard interrupt pin, use the data direction register to configure the
pin as an input and read the data register.
NOTE
Setting a keyboard interrupt enable bit (KBIEx) forces the corresponding
keyboard interrupt pin to be an input, overriding the data direction register.
However, the data direction register bit must be a logic 0 for software to
read the pin.
24.4 Keyboard Initialization
When a keyboard interrupt pin is enabled, it takes time for the internal pullup to reach a 1. Therefore, a
false interrupt can occur as soon as the pin is enabled.
To prevent a false interrupt on keyboard initialization:
1. Mask keyboard interrupts by setting the IMASKK bit in the keyboard status and control register
2. Enable the KBI pins by setting the appropriate KBIEx bits in the keyboard interrupt enable register
3. Write to the ACKK bit in the keyboard status and control register to clear any false interrupts
4. Clear the IMASKK bit.
An interrupt signal on an edge-triggered pin can be acknowledged immediately after enabling the pin. An
interrupt signal on an edge- and level-triggered interrupt pin must be acknowledged after a delay that
depends on the external load.
