Keyboard 1

The 8279 is a programmable keyboard and display interfacing chip that can scan and encode up to a 64-key keyboard and control up to a 16-digit numerical display. It has an 8-character FIFO buffer for the keyboard and stores display information in an internal 16x8 RAM. The chip select, data, control/status, and interrupt request pins allow the microprocessor to program, read from the keyboard, and interface with the display.

Programmable Keyboard/Display Interface 8279


A programmable keyboard and display interfacing chip. Scans and encodes up to a 64-key keyboard. Controls up to a 16-digit numerical display. Keyboard section has a built-in FIFO 8 character buffer. The display is controlled from an internal 16x8 RAM that Stores the coded display information. Pin out Definition 8279 A0: Selects data (0) or control/status (1) for reads and writes between micro and 8279. BD: Output that blanks the displays. CLK: Used internally for timing. Max is 3 MHz. CN/ST: Control/strobe, connected to the control key on the keyboard. CS: Chip select that enables programming, reading the keyboard, etc. DB7-DB0: Consists of bidirectional pins that connect to data bus on micro. IRQ: Interrupt request, becomes 1 when a key is pressed, data is available. OUT A3-A0/B3-B0: Outputs that sends data to the most significant/least significant nibble of display. RD (WR): Connects to micro's IORC or RD signal, reads data/status registers. RESET: Connects to system RESET. RL7-RL0: Return lines are inputs used to sense key depression in the keyboard matrix. Shift: Shift connects to Shift key on keyboard. SL3-SL0: Scan line outputs scan both the keyboard and displays.
