2 Msc Keyboard Scan Expansion/GPIO Expansion device
3 =================================================
8 The ECE1099 is a 40-Pin 3.3V Keyboard Scan Expansion
9 or GPIO Expansion device. The device supports a keyboard
10 scan matrix of 23x8. The device is connected to a Master
11 via the SMSC BC-Link interface or via the SMBus.
12 Keypad scan Input(KSI) and Keypad Scan Output(KSO) signals
13 are multiplexed with GPIOs.
18 Interrupts can be generated by an edge detection on a GPIO
19 pin or an edge detection on one of the bus interface pins.
20 Interrupts can also be detected on the keyboard scan interface.
21 The bus interrupt pin (BC_INT# or SMBUS_INT#) is asserted if
22 any bit in one of the Interrupt Status registers is 1 and
23 the corresponding Interrupt Mask bit is also 1.
25 In order for software to determine which device is the source
26 of an interrupt, it should first read the Group Interrupt Status Register
27 to determine which Status register group is a source for the interrupt.
28 Software should read both the Status register and the associated Mask register,
29 then AND the two values together. Bits that are 1 in the result of the AND
30 are active interrupts. Software clears an interrupt by writing a 1 to the
31 corresponding bit in the Status register.
33 Communication Protocol
34 ----------------------
36 - SMbus slave Interface
37 The host processor communicates with the ECE1099 device
38 through a series of read/write registers via the SMBus
39 interface. SMBus is a serial communication protocol between
40 a computer host and its peripheral devices. The SMBus data
41 rate is 10KHz minimum to 400 KHz maximum
44 The ECE1099 device SMBus implementation is a subset of the
45 SMBus interface to the host. The device is a slave-only SMBus device.
46 The implementation in the device is a subset of SMBus since it
47 only supports four protocols.
49 The Write Byte, Read Byte, Send Byte, and Receive Byte protocols are the
50 only valid SMBus protocols for the device.
53 The BC-Link is a proprietary bus that allows communication
54 between a Master device and a Companion device. The Master
55 device uses this serial bus to read and write registers
56 located on the Companion device. The bus comprises three signals,
57 BC_CLK, BC_DAT and BC_INT#. The Master device always provides the
58 clock, BC_CLK, and the Companion device is the source for an
59 independent asynchronous interrupt signal, BC_INT#. The ECE1099
60 supports BC-Link speeds up to 24MHz.
