Keyboard Interrupt Module (KBI)
9.1 Introduction
The keyboard interrupt module (KBI) provides eight independently maskable external interrupts which are
accessible via PTA0–PTA7. When a port pin is enabled for keyboard interrupt function, an internal pullup
device is also enabled on the pin.
9.2 Features
Features include:
9.3 Functional Description
Writing to the KBIE7–KBIE0 bits in the keyboard interrupt enable register independently enables or
disables each port A pin as a keyboard interrupt pin. Enabling a keyboard interrupt pin also enables its
internal pullup device. A logic 0 applied to an enabled keyboard interrupt pin latches a keyboard interrupt
request.
A keyboard interrupt is latched when one or more keyboard pins goes low after all were high. The MODEK
bit in the keyboard status and control register controls the triggering mode of the keyboard interrupt.

If the keyboard interrupt is edge-sensitive only, a falling edge on a keyboard pin does not latch an
interrupt request if another keyboard pin is already low. To prevent losing an interrupt request on
one pin because another pin is still low, software can disable the latter pin while it is low.
If the keyboard interrupt is falling edge- and low-level sensitive, an interrupt request is present as
long as any keyboard interrupt pin is low and the pin is keyboard interrupt enabled.
