LM8327 Overview
The LM8327 GenI/O-Expander and Keypad Controller is a dedicated device to unburden a host processor from scanning a matrix-addressed keypad and to provide flexible and general purpose, hostprogrammable input/output functions. Three independent PWM timer outputs are provided for dynamic LED brightness modulation. It municates with a host processor through an I2C-patible ACCESS.bus serial interface.
