AN-426 Analog Keyboard Encoder

www.datasheet4u.com Using MAX II CPLDs as Analog Keyboard Encoders Application Note 426 July 2006, Version 1.0 Introduction Keyboard encoders are a very common application for CPLDs. Typically a processor, ASSP, or ASIC does not have enough pins for keypads or keyboards. I/O expansion is a very common function for CPLDs and allows a processor to decode a very large keyboard with very few I/Os. Even though CPLDs like MAX® and MAX® II may have abundant low-cost I/Os, decoding a keypad or keybo.
