DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
TM
The GreenCoder UR5HCFJL is
a unique, extremely low-power
keyboard encoder that provides an
optimum performance level for both
battery-operated and desktop
systems.
• Optimized power-saving operation
with idle consumption of less
than 2 µA
• Programmable LED dimming for
further power savings
• Ready to interface to Fujitsu's
7316, 7654,7656, and
1406 keyboards
• Wakes-up only to respond to an
external event and for a minimum
period of time (2 mA current
consumption)
• Provides interface for external
keyboard/keypad or other 8042-
compatible device
TM
The GreenCoder scans,
• Energy Star Compliant
debounces and encodes an 8 X 16
keyboard matrix, and provides
direct drive for 3 LEDs and two
bi-directional channels for
communication with a BIOS-
compatible system as well as an
additional keyboard-compatible
device. It fully supports all three
PS/2 scan code sets and can
implement up to three alternate
keyboard layers for full 101/102
functionality.
• 3, 3.3, and 5 Volt operation
APPLICATIONS
• Laptops / notebooks
• Portable equipment
• Medical instruments
• Palmtops / PDAs

method that reduces the power
consumption of the keyboard
sub-system to an unprecedented
minimum, transparently and without
user intervention. In “Active” mode,
the encoder consumes less than 2
mA (Typ @5V). In “Sleep” mode the
encoder consumes less than 2 µA
(Typ @5V) The encoder can even
nap between keystrokes and
therefore it is rarely active and
rarely consumes significant levels of
power.
