Keypad
See Figure 3-3. The ke ypad is controlled by JOSEFIN and consists of a key switch matrix with four output
columns and five return input rows. Pressing a key generates an interrupt and allows JOSEFIN to detect
that key.
The key switch matrix will cover a maximum of 20 keys, but 5 additional keys can be added to the input
rows to become detected when connected to ground. This method enables use of the On/Off and Volume
Up/Down switches.

LCD
See Figure 3-4 and Table 3-4. The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is a 3 by 12 character display where each
character is created by a 5 by 7 d ot matrix. Information to and from the LCD is transferred on a single data
line together with a clock signal. Both are provided by JOSEFIN, who also controls the voltage supply to
the LCD by a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal. The voltage supply to the LCD has to be regulated
quite accurately by the logics to obtain optimum performance in the LCD viewing angle and contrast ratio.
JOSEFIN’s software controls the duty cycle (mark/space ratio) of the PWM output.
These digital pulses generate the negative voltage required by the LCD. Because the voltage supplied to the
LCD is most dependent on the load, voltage variations caused by load fluctuations are reduced by feeding
the voltage to an A/D-input of PATTI, where the voltage is checked by software and regulated to match
pre-defined values.
The A/D input of PATTI also provides temperature compensation of the LCD.

LEDs
See Figure 3-2 and Table 3-5. The red and gr ee n top LED s are fe d by a no n- flu ctua ti ng su pp ly vo l tage and
are directly controlled by two separate outputs of JOSEFIN. The keypad and LCD illuminations consist of
six and four parallel LEDs, respectively, and are all controlled by a single output from JOSEFIN.
