Baud rate
The baud rate is the number of times per second a serial
communication signal changes states; a state being either a voltage
level, a frequency, or a frequency phase angle.
If the signal changes once for each data bit, then one bps is equal to
one baud. For example, a 300 baud modem changes its states 300
times a second.
Features of Display controller 8279
Posted on June 16, 2009 by admin
IC 8279 provides a scanned interface to a 64 contact key
matrix, with two more keys CONTROL and SHIFT.
It provides three input modes for keyboard interface.
1. Scanned keyboard mode
2. scanned sensor matrix mode
3. strobed input mode.
It has built in hardware to provide key debounce.
It allows in key depression in 2 key lockout or N key rollover
mode, which eliminates software required to implement 2 key
lockout.
The interrupt output of 8279 can be used to tell CPU that the
key press is detected, this eliminates the need of software polling.
It provides multiplexed display interface with blanking and
inhibit options.
In Half Duplex mode the communication is from one one side at a time.
Eg:- Walki Talki the cops Use.
In full duplex mode the communication is from both the sides
simultaneously.. Ex:- Your cellur Phone(mobile phone)
