Keyboard Interrupt Module (KBI)
on the keyboard interrupt inputs. An edge detect that occurs after writing to ACKK latches another
interrupt request. If the keyboard interrupt mask bit, IMASKK, is clear, the CPU loads the program
counter with the KBI vector address.
The KBI vector fetch or software clear and the return of all enabled keyboard interrupt pins to a deasserted
level may occur in any order.
Reset clears the keyboard interrupt request and the MODEK bit, clearing the interrupt request even if a
keyboard interrupt input stays asserted.
9.3.1.2 MODEK = 0
If the MODEK bit is clear, the keyboard interrupt inputs are edge sensitive. The KBIPx bit will determine
whether an edge sensitive pin detects rising or falling edges. A KBI vector fetch or software clear
immediately clears the KBI latch.
The keyboard flag bit (KEYF) in KBSCR can be read to check for pending interrupts. The KEYF bit is not
affected by IMASKK, which makes it useful in applications where polling is preferred.
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 0 for software to read the
pin.
9.3.2 Keyboard Initialization
When a keyboard interrupt pin is enabled, it takes time for the internal pullup or pulldown device if selected
to pull the pin to its deasserted level. 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 IMASKK in KBSCR.
2. Enable the KBI polarity by setting the appropriate KBIPx bits in KBIPR.
3. Enable the KBI pins by setting the appropriate KBIEx bits in KBIER.
4. Write to ACKK in KBSCR to clear any false interrupts.
5. Clear IMASKK.
An interrupt signal on an edge sensitive pin can be acknowledged immediately after enabling the pin. An
interrupt signal on an edge and level sensitive pin must be acknowledged after a delay that depends on
the external load.
9.4 Interrupts
The following KBI source can generate interrupt requests:
• Keyboard flag (KEYF) — The KEYF bit is set when any enabled KBI pin is asserted based on the
KBI mode and pin polarity. The keyboard interrupt mask bit, IMASKK, is used to enable or disable
KBI interrupt requests.
