designideasConnect a 4×3 matrix keyboardto a microcontroller using two I/O pinsAruna Prabath Rubasinghe, University of Moratuwa, Moratuwa, Sri Lanka↘Matrix keyboards are commonas an input device in microcontroller-basedprojects. A conventionalway of connecting a matrix keyboardto a microcontroller is to use multipleI/O pins of the MCU. The MCU thenuses a scanning algorithm to identifywhich keys are pressed. A drawback ofthis method is that it requires a largenumber of the MCU’s I/O pins to connectthe keyboard. For example, toconnect a 4×3 keyboard requires sevendigital I/O pins. This becomes a problemwhen the project is based on alow-pin-count MCU or when theMCU being used does not have enoughfree I/O pins.Two solutions for this issue areavailable: Use readily available I/Oexpanders, or assign a unique voltageto each key using a resistor networkand then use an analog pin to readthe voltage and determine which keyis pressed. Each solution has its owndisadvantages.Since most of the time I/O expandersrequire a special communicationprotocol (I 2 C or SPI, for example) toread and write data, the MCU shouldhave built-in communication modules,or the user has to implement therelevant communication-protocol softwarewisely, which adds significantlyto the overhead of the MCU.
