The piezo sounder controller generates a variety of
audio tones. Tones are programmable for frequency
and duration, and may be intermittent, two tone, or con-
tinuous. The piezo sounder controller can be config-
ured to deliver an automatic, customizable sound on
every key press to provide a udible key-click feedback.
Detailed Description
The MAX7347/MAX7348/MAX7349 are microprocessor
peripherals that combine a low-noise key-switch inter-
face with a piezo sounder controller. Up to 64 key
switches can be monitored and debounced with optional
autorepeat, and the key events are presented in an
eight-deep FIFO. Key-switch functionality can be traded
to provide up to one (MAX7347), three (MAX7348), or six
(MAX7349) open-drain logic outputs. (Table 1).
Interrupt requests can be configured to be issued on
every key-press event, or can be limited to a maximum
rate to prevent overloading the microprocessor with
