The device supports a keyboard +scan matrix of 23x8. The device is connected to a Master +via the SMSC BC-Link interface or via the SMBus. +Keypad scan Input(KSI) and Keypad Scan Output(KSO) signals +are multiplexed with GPIOs. + +Interrupt generation +-------------------- + +Interrupts can be generated by an edge detection on a GPIO +pin or an edge detection on one of the bus interface pins. +Interrupts can also be detected on the keyboard scan interface. +The bus interrupt pin (BC_INT# or SMBUS_INT#) is asserted if +any bit in one of the Interrupt Status registers is 1 and +the corresponding Interrupt Mask bit is also 1. + +In order for software to determine which device is the source +of an interrupt, it should first read the Group Interrupt Status Register +to determine which Status register group is a source for the interrupt. +Software should read both the Status register and the associated Mask register, +then AND the two values together. Bits that are 1 in the result of the AND +are active interrupts. Software clears an interrupt by writing a 1 to the +corresponding bit in the Status register. + +Communication Protocol +---------------------- + +- SMbus slave Interface + The host processor communicates with the ECE1099 device + through a series of read/write registers via the SMBus + interface. SMBus is a serial communication protocol between + a computer host and its peripheral devices. The SMBus data + rate is 10KHz minimum to 400 KHz maximum + +- Slave Bus Interface + The ECE1099 device SMBus implementation is a subset of the + SMBus interface to the host. The device is a slave-only SMBus device. + The implementation in the device is a subset of SMBus since it + only supports four protocols. + + The Write Byte, Read Byte, Send Byte, and Receive Byte protocols are the + only valid SMBus protocols for the device. + +- BC-LinkTM Interface + The BC-Link is a proprietary bus that allows communication + between a Master device and a Companion device. The Master + device uses this serial bus to read and write registers + located on the Companion device. The bus comprises three signals, + BC_CLK, BC_DAT and BC_INT#. The Master device always provides the + clock, BC_CLK, and the Companion device is the source for an + independent asynchronous interrupt signal, BC_INT#. The ECE1099 + supports BC-Link speeds up to 24MHz. |
