AT89C51RB2/RC2
The AT89C51RB2/RC2 implements a keyboard interface allowing the connection of a
8 x n matrix keyboard. It is based on 8 inputs with programmable interrupt capability on
both high or low level. These inputs are available as alternate function of P1 and allow to
exit from idle and power-down modes.
The keyboard interfaces with the C51 core through 3 special function registers: KBLS,
the Keyboard Level Selection register (Table 53), KBE, the Keyboard interrupt Enable
register (Table 52), and KBF, the Keyboard Flag register (Table 51).
The keyboard inputs are considered as 8 independent interrupt sources sharing the
same interrupt vector. An interrupt enable bit (KBD in IEN1) allows global enable or dis-
able of the keyboard interrupt (see Figure 23). As detailed in Figure 24 each keyboard
input has the capability to detect a programmable level according to KBLS. x bit value.
Level detection is then reported in interrupt flags KBF. x that can be masked by software
using KBE. x bits.
This structure allows keyboard arrangement from 1 by n to 8 by n matrix and allow
usage of P1 inputs for other purpose.

P1 inputs allow exit from idle and power down modes as detailed in Section “Power-
down Mode”, page 82.
