The AT89C51RD2/ED2 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 Key-
board Level Selection register (Table 15-3), KBE, the Keyboard interrupt Enable register
(Table 15-2), and KBF, the Keyboard Flag register (Table 15-1).
The keyboard inputs are considered as 8 independent interrupt sources sharing the same inter-
rupt vector. An interrupt enable bit (KBD in IE1) allows global enable or disable of the keyboard
interrupt (see Figure 15-1). As detailed in Figure 15-2 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 allow keyboard arrangement from 1 by n to 8 by n matrix and allows usage of P1
inputs for other purpose.

P1 inputs allow exit from idle and power-down modes as detailed in Section “Power Manage-
ment”, page 80.
