The EDE1144 Keypad Encoder IC is designed to interface a matrix-type 4 row x 4 column (16 key
or less) keypad to a microcontroller or other host processor. A one-wire serial or four-wire
parallel interface returns the keypress data and can be used in conjunction with a 'data valid'
signal for polled or interrupt-driven applications. The EDE1144 provides enhanced keypad
features such as contact debouncing and key auto-repeat in an easy-to-use package that will lower
software overhead in the host microcontroller and reduce the I/O pin requirements from eight to
one, frequently resulting in the use of a less costly host microcontroller in your design.
In addition, the EDE1144 is electrically quiet. Many keypad encoders continually scan the
keypad, radiating EMI noise from the wires leading to the keypad (resulting in trouble during
emissions testing & final product certification & approval). The EDE1144 reduces this problem by
monitoring the keypad with unchanging signals, and then scanning only once each time a
keypress is detected.
