20090106462 | METHOD AND CIRCUIT FOR CAPTURING KEYPAD DATA SERIALIZING/DESERIALIZING AND REGENERATING THE KEYPAD INTERFACE - A serializer/deserializer interfacing a keypad or keyboard to a processing system is illustrated. In one application, the processor is arranged to generate keypad scan and input keypad sense lines directly. However, to minimize wires on intervening cables, a serializer and deserializer is inserted between the processor system, the serializer/deserializer forming a virtual keypad. In this case, the processor scans the deserializer as if it were the keypad and the keypad is scanned by the serializer as if it were the processor. However, the serializer converts the scanning of the keypad into a serial bit stream that is sent to the deserializer using only a data line and a clock line. The deserializer accepts the serial bit stream and reconfigures the data into a response that mimics the response of the physical keypad as the computer system scans the virtual keypad, the deserializer. In one embodiment an actual second keypad is formed in the deserializer and activated as the first keypad is activated, wherein the computer scans the second keypad in the usual fashion. | 04-23-2009 |

20100077264 | SERIALIZATION ALGORITHM FOR FUNCTIONAL ESD ROBUSTNESS - An apparatus and method are described for sending serialized command in an environment where ESD or other phenomenon might cause malfunctions. Commands are encoded where there are at least two bit changes between any two commands. In this example, each command code that is different from legal commands by only one bit is an illegal command, Illustratively, if six bits provide 64 codes for commands, and only eight codes are used for legal commands, there will be 56 illegal command codes. Illustratively, any command code, that is only one bit different from a legal command, will be an illegal command. In practice a illegal command may be detected, and the system may recover. An illegal command due to and ESD event may be defined, and when detected a recovery process may be entered. When data (not command) are being sent, error detecting and correcting bits may be employed. | 03-25-2010 |
