• An additional LED2 for suspend special usage which will be turned on in suspend or can be defined by vendors • Support ACPI compliant suspend/shutdown key • Fn key toggles or selectable based on a configuration bit • USB vendor ID, product ID, and keyboard scan code table can be customized via optional external EEPROM.
2.0 Application Block Diagram The AU9440 is a single chip that integrates USB keyboard, ACPI and multimedia control functionalities. The multimedia function keys are designed to support a full range of hotkeys such as CD/DVD, Play/Pause, Stop, Eject, Mute and general purpose shortcut keys for one key Internet, E-mail, Help and etc.

5.4 Crystal Oscillator Circuit Setup for Characterization The following setup was used to measure the open loop voltage gain for crystal oscillator circuits. The feedback resistor serves to bias the circuit at its quiescent operating point and the AC coupling capacitor, Cs, is much larger than C1 and C2. ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS...
5.5 ESD Test Results Test Description : ESD Testing was performed on a Zapmaster system using the Human- Body –Model (HBM) and Machine-Model (MM), according to MIL_STD 883 and EIAJ IC_121 respectively. Human-Body-Model stress devices by sudden application of a high voltage supplied by a 100 PF capacitor through 1.5 Kohm resistance.
5.6 Latch-Up Test Results Test Description: Latch-Up testing was performed at room ambient using an IMCS-4600 system which applies a stepped voltage to one pin per device with all other pins open except Vdd and Vss which were biased to 5 Volts and ground respectively.
