4 General Purpose Host Programmable I/O Pins with Two Selectable External Interrupts (Slow)A 15-byte FIFO buffer to store key press and key release eventsError reporting error control (FIFO overflow, overflow keyboard, invalid command)Host programmable PWMHost programmable active time and bounce time  illustrate The LM8333 Mobile I/O Helper offloads the scanning keyboard from the host computer, while providing extremely low power consumption in both active and standby modes. It supports a keyboard matrix of 8 × 8 sizes (plus 8 additional special function keys) for portable applications such as mobile phones, PDAs, games, and other handheld applications. Key press and release events are encoded into a byte format and loaded into a FIFO buffer for retrieval by the host processor. Interrupt output (IRQ) is used for signals such as keyboard activity, state changes on one or two interrupt functions of general-purpose I/O pins, or event of an error condition. Interrupts and error codes are available to the host by reading private registers. 4 general-purpose I/O pins, two of which have interrupt capability. A host-based programmable internal timer pulse-width modulated output is also available, and PWM functionality is not necessary to use as a general-purpose output. To reduce power consumption, the LM8333 automatically enters a low-power standby mode when there is no keyboard, I/O or host activity. The device is available in a 32-pin leadless leadframe package (LLP) and a 49-pin microarray. These two chip-scale packages. apply
