Keyboard Interrupt Module (KBI)
MOTOROLA
Keyboard Interrupt Module (KBI)
Return of all enabled keyboard interrupt pins to logic 1 — As long
as any enabled keyboard interrupt pin is at logic 0, the keyboard
interrupt remains set.
The vector fetch or software clear and the return of all enabled keyboard
interrupt pins to logic 1 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 at logic 0.
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.
15.5 Keyboard Initialization
When a keyboard interrupt pin is enabled, the pin may initially be low and
cause a false interrupt to occur. A false interrupt on an edge-triggered
pin can be acknowledged immediately after enabling the pin. A false
interrupt on an edge- and level-triggered interrupt pin must be
acknowledged after the pin has been pulled high.
The internal pullup device, the pin capacitance, as well as the external
load will factor into the actual amount of time it takes for the pin to pull
high. Considering only an internal pullup of 48 k
and pin capacitance
of 8 pF, the pullup time will be on the order of 1
s.
