Utilize the circuit shown in Fig. 1 b and Fig. 2 a that the method that relevant keyboard scan of the present invention and additional input detect is described earlier respectively below.
Consult Fig. 1 a to 1c, it is one known 4
*The key scanning circuit of 3 matrix keyboards, system is worked by four clock pulse signal S1 to S4 controls in regular turn repeatedly.When clock pulse S1 was high potential, row input/output end port R1 to R4 was all the high potential with high impedance at the beginning, and row input/output end port C1 to C3 then is more low-impedance electronegative potential.If there is any key to be pressed, then will there be a port can reduce to electronegative potential among the row input/output end port R1 to R4, and when the high potential of clock pulse S2 finishes, the current potential of row input/output end port R1 to R4 is pinned to latch element 10a to 10d respectively.And then when clock pulse S3 is high potential, change scanning mode, make row input/output end port R1 to R4 be more low-impedance electronegative potential, and row input/output end port C1 to C3 is the high potential of high impedance, and when the high potential of clock pulse S4 finishes, the current potential of row input/output end port C1 to C3 is pinned to latch element 20a to 20c respectively.The action that repeats above-mentioned mixed sweep keyboard more for several times has one to be fixed as electronegative potential if row latch among the element 10a to 10d, also has one to be fixed as electronegative potential among the element 20a to 20d and latch, and then just can use the ranks position of confirming the key that is pressed.
Consult Fig. 2 a and 2b again, Fig. 2 a is a kind of circuit that whether is connected to resistance between integrated circuit port that detects, and Fig. 2 b is the clock pulse figure of this circuit of control, wherein, Rm and Rn are two input/output end ports of integrated circuit, and S1 and S2 then are the clock pulse control signal.Its working method is for when clock pulse S1 is high potential, utilize NMOS that the current potential of Rm port is pulled to zero potential, then when clock pulse S2 is high potential, utilize PMOS that the current potential of Rn port is pulled to power supply potential, and when the high potential of clock pulse S2 finishes, utilize and latch the current potential pinning of element 30 the Rm port.At this moment, if be connected to resistance between Rm port and the Rn port, the current potential that then latchs element 30 is a high potential; But if non-resistance is connected, the current potential that then latchs element 30 will be electronegative potential.That is, just can declare to know between the Rm port Rn port whether be connected to resistance by the output potential that latchs element 30.Differentiate the setting of various different input functions again by the different conditions that between port, whether is connected to resistance.
Again because the touch switch of keyboard is mechanical, so when just pressing key, have unsettled spring, cause in the current potential instability that begins to latch in the element, that is can cause spring noise (bouncing noise), must wait the spring noise to disappear, and latch the current potential of element stable after, could confirm the position of the key that is pressed.The time that this section waited for and confirmed, generally speaking have tens of milliseconds at least.The present invention promptly makes full use of this section stand-by period, and in this section a bit of period of key scanning pause in action with keyboard in the time, replace the continuous state that the additional input testing circuit detects resistance between each input/output end port, so, then when each key is imported, all can detect the set condition of additional input function effectively simultaneously, and reach the purpose that expands input function.Must illustrate a bit that promptly this is a bit of in order to detect time of additional input function, can be arranged in arbitrary period of the time of this section wait.
The working method of keyboard scanning circuit of the present invention and additional input testing circuit once was described respectively in front.Next one preferred embodiment of relevant keyboard scan of the present invention and additional input checkout gear will be described.Consult Fig. 3 a, as shown in the figure.Keyboard scan of the present invention and additional input checkout gear comprise gate generator (not shown in the diagram), and this clock pulse generator is in order to produce various control clock pulse signals; Row input/output end port Rm and Rn are in order to the signal of the column position that transmits the key on the keyboard scan; Row input/output end port Ci and Cj are in order to the signal of the line position that transmits the key on the keyboard scan; Key scanning circuit 60; Additional input testing circuit 70; And most individual storing apparatus 40a～40c and 50a～50c, wherein, when each button is imported, all can produce control signal " SKIP " and use 60 work of operating key scanning circuit or 70 work of additional input testing circuit, that is when SKIP is logical zero, key scanning circuit 60 work are to confirm the position of enter key; And when SKIP was logical one, the then output of stop key scanning circuit 60, and with additional input testing circuit 70 work was used detection at resistance links to each other between each input/output end port on the keyboard state.
Consult Fig. 3 b again, the working method of circuit of the present invention is shown in the sequential chart of Fig. 3 b.SKIP is that logical zero makes key scanning circuit 60 work at ordinary times, so that detect the key-press status of keyboard.When meeting the button input, then key be pressed during in, the a bit of time of the work of Pause key scanning circuit 60, and in this short time, SKIP is a logical one, and make key scanning circuit 60 no any outputs, simultaneously, storing apparatus 40a, 40c, 50a and 50b also do not accept the signal of any input/output end port, but detect between row input/output end port Rm and Rn and whether have resistance to be connected between row input/output end port Ci and Cj and when the high potential of clock pulse S2 finishes with additional input testing circuit 70, resistance connection status testing result between row input/output end port Rm and Rn is recorded among the storing apparatus 40b, in addition when the high potential of clock pulse S4 finishes, resistance connection status testing result between row input/output end port Ci and Cj is recorded among the storing apparatus 50c, SKIP replys to logical zero immediately, continues the key scanning work of keyboard again.In addition, when the SKIP signal can have key to be pressed, promptly become logical one on keyboard, or when the key that relieving is pressed, become logical one again, perhaps can become logical one in the arbitrary moment in a key is depressed to a period of time of confirming this key position.
At last, must illustrate because when button is imported, one row input/output end port and delegation's input/output end port short circuit will be arranged, so can't reach the purpose that increases input function with going in the mode whether resistance is connected between input/output end port at the row input/output end port.Again, the storing apparatus that uses in an embodiment of the present invention can constitute by latching element.
Though the present invention is with preferred embodiment explanation as above, so it is not in order to limiting the present invention, and to protection scope of the present invention should with claim the person of being defined exceed.
