Successive register data can be read by the master without repeating the address byte, the register address will
be automatically incremented or kept fixed depending on the setting programmed in RegMisc.

4.6.1
Each input can be individually debounced by setting corresponding bits in RegDebounce register. At power up
the debounce function is disabled. After enabling the debouncer, the change of the input value is accepted only if
the input value is identical at two consecutive sampling times.
The debounce time common to all IOs can be set in RegDebounceConfig register from 0.5 to 64ms.(fOSC =
2MHz)
4.6.2
SX1511, and SX1512 integrate a fully programmable keypad scanning engine to implement keypad applications
up to 8x8 matrix (i.e. 64 keys).
Please note that SX1512 also implements an Auto Sleep/Wakeup feature to save power consumption when no
key has been pressed for a programmed time.
Following procedure should be implemented on the host controller for a 4x4 keypad:
1. Set RegDir to 0xF0 (IO[3-0] as outputs, IO[7-4] as inputs) , set RegOpenDrain to 0x0F (IO[3-0] as open-drain
outputs), set RegPullup to 0xF0 (pull-ups enabled on inputs IO[7-4]).
2. Enable and configure debouncing on IO[7-4] (RegDebounceEnable = 0xF0, Ex : RegDebounceConfig = 0x05)
3. Enable and configure keypad scanning engine (Ex : RegKeyConfig = 0x7D) This will start an infinite loop with
the following sequence to IO[3:0]: ZZZ0, ZZ0Z, Z0ZZ, 0ZZZ. Make sure that scan interval is set to higher value
than the debounce time.
4. When a key is pressed, NINT goes low, key scan is halted and the key coordinates are stored in RegKeyData:
5. Restart from point 4.
This implementation allows the host to handle both single and multi-touches easily (fast AAAAAA sequence is a
long press of key A, fast ABABABAB sequence is key A and key B pressed together, etc)

th
The column data will be stored in RegKeyData[7:4] (Note: column indication is active low)
The row data will be stored in RegKeyData[3:0] (Note: row indication is active low)
When RegKeyData is read, this data along with the interrupt is automatically cleared (same behavior
as reading RegData) and the key scan continues to the next row.
