3.12 Keypad Switches and Scanning
The key switches are metal domes, which make contact between two concentric pads on the
keypad layer of the PCB when pressed. There are 19 switches (S301-S325, not used S303~S309),
connected in a matrix of 5 rows by 5 columns, as shown in Figure, except for the power switch
(S310), which is connected independently. Functions, the row and column lines of the keypad are
connected to ports of AD6522. The columns are outputs, while the rows are inputs and have pull-up
resistors built in. When a key is pressed, the corresponding row and column are connected
together, causing the row input to go low and generate an interrupt. The columns/rows are then
scanned by AD6522 to identify the pressed key.
