DESCRIPTION

The LM8325-1 GenI/O - Expander and Keypad Controller is a dedicated device to unburden a host

processor from scanning a matrix-addressed keypad

and to provide flexible and general purpose, host

programmable input/output functions. Three

independent PWM timer outputs are provided for

dynamic LED brightness modulation.

It communicates with a host processor through an

I2C-compatible ACCESS.bus serial interface. It can communicate in Standard (100 kHz) - and Fast-Mode

(400 kHz) in slave Mode only.

All available input/output pins can alternately be used

as an input or an output in a keypad matrix or as a

host programmable general purpose input or output.

Any pin programmed as an input can also sense

hardware interrupts. The interrupt polarity (“high to

low” or “l(fā)ow to high” transition) is thereby

programmable.

The LM8325-1 follows a predefined register based

set of commands. Upon startup (power - on) a

configuration file must be sent from the host to setup

the hardware of the device.
