2 wire 4 by 4 key keyboard interface saves power -  08/17/06 EDN-Design Ideas Resistor matrix and microcontroller encode keypadYou can use a microcontroller that includes an ADC to design a two-wire-plus-ground keyboard interface.  For example, you can use a resistive voltage divider to identify a pressed key   (Reference 1).  A microcontroller's integrated ADC typically presents an input resistance on the order of hundreds of kilohms, and, for adequate accuracy, its keypad divider should comprise relatively low-value resistors of 10s of kilohms.  __ Circuit Design by Stefano Salvatori, University of Rome, Rome, Italy, and Gabriele Di Nucci, EngSistemi, Rome, Italy

2-Wire Keypad Interface Using a 555 Timer. Part 1 Theory and Schematic -  Keypads are a very commonly used input device in microcontroller-based systems. In a keypad, multiple switches are arranged in rows and columns so that they could be interfaced to a microcontroller with a minimum number of I/O pins. For example, a 12-key keypad is arranged in a 4×3 format, which allows to interface the 12 keys to a microcontroller with only 7 connections.  __ Designed by Radio LocMan

4 Digit KeypA - D -  This is an enhanced 4 digit keypad which may be used with the Modular Alarm System __ Designed by Ron J.

4 Digit Keypad Switch -  This is a universal version of the Four-Digit Alarm Keypad.  I've modified the design of the output sectionto free up the relay contacts.  This allows the circuit to operate as a general-purpose switch.  I used a SPCO/SPDT relaybut you can use a multi-pole relay if it suits your application.   __ Designed by Ron J.

4-Digit Alarm Control KeypA - D -  Alarm Control Keypads:  This Keypad is suitable for the Modular Burglar Alarm.  However, it has other applications.  Pressing a single key will energize the relay.  Entering the Four-Digit code of your choice will de-energize it.  __ Designed by Ron J.

4-Digit Keypad Controlled Switch -  Universal Keypad-Controlled Switches:  This is a Universal version of the Four-Digit Alarm Control Keypad.  I have modified the design to free up the relay contacts.  This allows the circuit to operate as a general-purpose switch.  I've used a SPCO/SPDT relaybut you can use a multi-pole relay if you wish.  __ Designed by Ron J.

5-Digit Alarm Control KeypA - D -  Alarm Control Keypads:  This Keypad is suitable for the Modular Burglar Alarm.  However, it has other applications.  Entering the First Four Digits of your chosen Five-Digit codewill energize the relay.  Entering the Full Five-Digit codewill de-energize it. __ Designed by Ron J.

7 Segment Display & KeypA - D -  Since the output buffer ofP1 can sink 20mA   (each output pin, but maximum IOL for all outputs was limited at 80mA) , thus we can use P1 to drive LED display directly.  As shown in the circuit, Two common-anode 7-segment LEDs are connected to P1 with 180 Ohms current limiting resistor.  Each segment of two LED __ Designed by Wichit Sirichote

A 4-Digit Alarm Control KeypA - D -  Alarm Control Keypads:  This Keypad is suitable for the Modular Burglar Alarm.  However, it has other applications.  Pressing a single key will energize the relay.  Entering the Four-Digit code of your choice will de-energize it.  __ Designed by Ron J.

A Low Cost AT Keyboard Translator -  This Low-cost project takes the complex scan codes from a PC keyboard and spits out standard ACCII codes.  It's just the shot for use with the BASIC stamp and PIC series of microcontrollers but has lots of other uses as well.___ SiliconChip

Alarm control keypA - D -  The IC is a quad 2 input "AND" gate, a CMOS 4081.  These gates only produce a HIGH output, when BOTH the inputs are HIGH.  When the key wired to 'E' is pressed, current through R1 and D1 switchs Q5 on.  The relay energises; and Q5 is 'latched on' by R8.  Thus, the Alarm is set by pressing a single key, say one of the two non-numeric symbols __ Designed by Ron J.

An Add-On Current Limiter for Your PS - U -  Power Supply Circuits:  This circuit allows you to set a limit on the maximum output current available from your PSU.  It's very useful when you power-up a project for the first timeor carry out a soak-test.  By setting an upper limit on the current available from your PSUyou can protect both your power supplyand any device connected to it.  It offers a simple and cheap alternative to the Current Limiting Power Supply.  __ Designed by Ron J.

An Alarm Power Supply with Battery Back-up -  Power Supply Circuits:  This Power Supply is suitable for the Modular Burglar Alarm.  However, it has other applications.  It is designed to provide an output of 12-volts, with a current of up to 1-amp.  In the event of mains failure, the back-up battery takes over automatically.  When the mains is restored, the battery recharges.  __ Designed by Ron J.
