I²C Self Addressing

If this feature is used, 2 of the 16 key readback nodes can be left open or shorted for self-addressing. This is done with KEYA together with

SEGG (A0) and SEGF (A1). This two nodes cannot be used for key-readback in this case. After startup all devices have the predefined address

0000000. A single command for self addressing will update all connected AS1115. This command has to be done after startup or every time the

AS1115 gets disconnected from the supply. The I²C address definition must be done with fixed connection, since I²C detection is excluded from

debounce time of key registers.geht

Note:

A short writes a logical “0” whereas an open writes a logical “1” as address bit (see Figure 26).

Figure 26. Address Coding

Keyscan Register

These two registers contain the result of the keyscan input of the 16 keys. To ensure proper results the data in these registers are updated only

if the logic data scanned is stable for 20ms (debounce time). A change of the data stored within these two registers is indicated by a logic low on

the IRQ pin. The IRQ is high-impedance if a read operation on the key scan registers is started.

Note:

If I²C self addressing is used segment G&F of KEYA is used for the two LSB of the I²C address. In this case these two nodes cannot be

used as a key. Additionally the debounce time is disabled for these two bits.

The data within the keyscan register is updated continuously during every cycle (1/10 of refresh rate). Therefore, to get a valid read-

back of keys it is recommended to read out the keyscan registers immediately after the IRQ is triggered. A short writes a logical “0”

whereas an open writes a logical “1” as keyscan register bit.

Note:

If the blink_en bit (bit D4 in the Feature Register 0x0E) is set to ‘1’, the keyscan is not returning a valid value.
