7. KEYBOARD CONTROLLER
The KBC (8042 with licensed KB BIOS) circuit of W83977F/ AF is designed to provide the functions
needed to interface a CPU with a keyboard and/or a PS/2 mouse, and can be used with IBM
compatible personal computers or PS/2-based systems. The controller receives serial data from the
keyboard or PS/2 mouse, checks the parity of the data, and presents the data to the system as a byte
of data in its output buffer. Then, the controller will assert an interrupt to the system when data are
placed in its output buffer. The keyboard and PS/2 mouse are required to acknowledge all data
transmissions. No transmission should be sent to the keyboard or PS/2 mouse until an acknowledge
is received for the previous data byte.
