8.23 Keypad interrupt (KBI)
The Keypad Interrupt function is intended primarily to allow a single interrupt to be
generated when Port 0 is equal to or not equal to a certain pattern. This function can
be used for bus address recognition or keypad recognition. The user can configure
the port via SFRs for different tasks.
The Keypad Interrupt Mask Register (KBMASK) is used to define which input pins
connected to Port 0 can trigger the interrupt. The Keypad Pattern Register (KBPATN)
is used to define a pattern that is compared to the value of Port 0. The Keypad
Interrupt Flag (KBIF) in the Keypad Interrupt Control Register (KBCON) is set when
the condition is matched while the Keypad Interrupt function is active. An interrupt will
be generated if enabled. The PATN_SEL bit in the Keypad Interrupt Control Register
(KBCON) is used to define equal or not-equal for the comparison.
In order to use the Keypad Interrupt as an original KBI function like in 87LPC76x
series, the user needs to set KBPATN = 0FFH and PATN_SEL = 1 (not equal), then
any key connected to Port 0 which is enabled by the KBMASK register will cause the
hardware to set KBIF and generate an interrupt if it has been enabled. The interrupt
may be used to wake up the CPU from Idle or Power-down modes. This feature is
particularly useful in handheld, battery powered systems that need to carefully
manage power consumption yet also need to be convenient to use.
In order to set the flag and cause an interrupt, the pattern on Port 0 must be held
longer than six CCLKs.
8.24 Watchdog timer
The Watchdog timer causes a system reset when it underflows as a result of a failure
to feed the timer prior to the timer reaching its terminal count. It consists of a
programmable 12-bit prescaler, and an 8-bit down counter. The down counter is
decremented by a tap taken from the prescaler. The clock source for the prescaler is
either the PCLK or the nominal 400 kHz Watchdog oscillator. The Watchdog timer
can only be reset by a power-on reset. When the Watchdog feature is disabled, it can
be used as an interval timer and may generate an interrupt. Figure 20 shows the
Watchdog timer in Watchdog mode. Feeding the watchdog requires a two-byte
sequence. If PCLK is selected as the Watchdog clock and the CPU is powered-down,
the watchdog is disabled. The Watchdog timer has a time-out period that ranges from
afewµs to a few seconds. Please refer to the
