microprocessor and enabling the system to read and interpret the keystrokes entered by a user. This allows for user
input, a critical component in countless applications.

IMPORTANCE:
Keyboard interfacing is fundamental to countless applications, including:
Computers: The primary means of text input.
Embedded Systems: User control and configuration in industrial automation, consumer electronics, and medical
devices.
Point-of-Sale (POS) Systems: Data entry for transactions.
Gaming Consoles: Game commands and character input.

KEY COMPONENTS:
Keyboard: The input device that generates signals corresponding to pressed keys.
Microcontroller/Microprocessor: The central processing unit that reads and interprets these signals.
Display/Output Device (Optional): Provides visual feedback to the user, showing the entered data or system
responses.

The 8086 microprocessor interacts with a keyboard through BIOS and DOS interrupts. These
interrupts allow the program to handle keyboard inputs, such as reading single characters or entire
strings, and managing the keyboard buffer efficiently.

1. BIOS and DOS Interrupts for Keyboard Input


The 8086 uses BIOS interrupt 16h and DOS interrupt 21h for handling keyboard input.

a. BIOS Interrupt 16h:


Directly interacts with the keyboard hardware at a low level.
Commonly used when finer control or real-time input handling is required.
KEYBOARD INTERFACING WITH 8086
2
b. DOS Interrupt 21h:
Simplifies input handling by working at a higher level.
Supports reading single characters and strings directly.

2. Reading Single Characters and Strings


Reading a Single Character:
Using INT 21h, AH=01h to read a single character with echo:
KEYBOARD INTERFACING WITH 8086

b. Reading a String:
Using INT 21h, AH=0Ah to read a string:
1. Prepare a buffer in memory:
buffer db 20, ?, 20 dup('$') ; Max 20 characters, followed by filler '$'
2. Use the interrupt to read a string:
a. mov ah, 0Ah ; Function to read a string
b. lea dx, buffer ; Load address of the buffer into DX
c. int 21h ; Call DOS interrupt
3. The buffer structure:
First Byte: Maximum characters the buffer can hold.
Second Byte: Number of characters actually entered.
Remaining Bytes: The characters entered by the user, followed by the $ terminator.
KEYBOARD INTERFACING WITH 8086

Handling the Keyboard Buffer
Keyboard Buffer:
The keyboard buffer is a temporary storage area in memory where keypresses are queued. The BIOS
manages this buffer automatically.
How It Works:
1. When a key is pressed, its scan code and ASCII code are placed in the buffer.
2. If the buffer is full, additional keystrokes are ignored until it has space.
Manual Buffer Handling:
You can access the keyboard buffer directly if needed:
Buffer Location: Typically starts at 40h:1Eh in the BIOS data area.
Structure:
40h:1Eh (WORD): Pointer to the next character to be read.
40h:20h (WORD): Pointer to the next free slot in the buffer.
40h:1Ch (WORD): Start of the buffer.
40h:1Ah (WORD): End of the buffer.
KEYBOARD INTERFACING WITH 8086

Example: Clear the Keyboard Buffer:
To clear the buffer, set the "read pointer" equal to the "write pointer":

mov ax, 40h ; Segment of BIOS data area


mov ds, ax ; Load it into DS

mov bx, 1Eh ; Offset for the buffer pointers


mov dx, ds:[bx+2] ; Copy the "write pointer" value
mov ds:[bx], dx ; Set the "read pointer" equal to the "write pointer"

Example Program: Read and Display a String


This program uses DOS interrupts to read a string from the user and display it:

Summary
Interrupts: BIOS and DOS interrupts
provide flexible ways to handle keyboard
input.
Use INT 16h for low-level handling (e.g.,
scan codes).
Use INT 21h for higher-level handling (e.g.,
characters and strings).
Keyboard Buffer: Managed by the BIOS
but can be accessed and manipulated for
custom needs.
Key Functions:
Read single characters for commands.
Read strings for longer inputs.
Clear or modify the keyboard buffer to
manage input flow.

Key De-bouncing
implementaion in 8086
Key debouncing is a technique used in electronics and programming to handle the "bouncing" effect that
occurs when a mechanical switch, like a keyboard key, is pressed or released. When a key is pressed, the
contacts inside the switch can make and break contact multiple times in a very short period due to vibrations
or imperfections, creating multiple signals instead of a single clean press.There are multiple way to implement
key de-bouncing, one of them being doing it on a software level with a microprocessor.

1. First you make the program wait for an input.


2. Once the input arrives, the program calls for a delay to wait so that all the accidental inputs from the
bouncing are gone.
3. After the delay the program checks the input from the keyboard port again.
4. If the key is still pressed the the key press is considered valid and the input is taken to be used as however
the rest of the program requires.
5. The program then waits for the key to be released before accepting another input.

OVERVIEW OF THE 8051
MICROCONTROLLER 4
Architecture Overview:
Registers: The 8051 features a set of 8-bit registers, including the accumulator (ACC), B register, and the
registers within the internal RAM (R0-R7). These registers are crucial for data manipulation.
Memory Organization: The 8051 has a small amount of internal RAM (128 bytes) and can address external
memory. It also features program memory (typically ROM or Flash) to store the program instructions.
I/O Ports: The 8051 has four 8-bit I/O ports (P0-P3) that can be used for input, output, or bidirectional
communication with external devices. These ports are directly addressable and highly flexible.
Timers/Counters: The 8051 has two 16-bit timers/counters that can be used for timing events, generating
pulses, or counting external events. This is useful for many timing-critical applications.

Key Features Relevant to Interfacing:


Interrupt Handling: The 8051 possesses a robust interrupt system with five interrupt sources (including
timer interrupts and external interrupts). This allows efficient response to external events, like key presses
from a keyboard.
Built-in Peripherals: The 8051 includes several built-in peripherals including serial communication (UART),
which simplifies interfacing to external devices. This reduces the need for external components in many
applications.
SUMMARY 5

In summary: The 8051 excels in resource-constrained embedded applications where its built-in peripherals and low
power consumption are valuable. The 8086, while more powerful, is more complex and typically consumes more
power, making it less suitable for such applications. The choice depends heavily on the application's requirements
and constraints.
KEYBOARD INTERFACING WITH 8051 5
the 8051 microcontroller, keyboard interfacing refers to the process of connecting a keyboard
(usually a matrix keyboard) to the 8051 microcontroller and reading the keys pressed by the
user. The 8051, like other microcontrollers, can use polling or interrupts to handle keyboard
input. Additionally, when interfacing with mechanical keys, debouncing techniques are used to
avoid erroneous key presses.

1. Polling vs. Interrupts


Polling:
In polling, the 8051 continuously checks the state of the keys in a loop to detect a key
press.
Advantages:
Simple to implement.
Does not require complex interrupt management.
Disadvantages:
Wastes processing time by constantly checking the keyboard.
Not efficient if there are other tasks to handle.
KEYBOARD INTERFACING WITH 8051 5
Interrupts:
In interrupt-driven systems, the 8051 is alerted (via an interrupt) whenever
a key is pressed.
Advantages:
More efficient because the 8051 can perform other tasks while waiting
for an interrupt.
Interrupts can be triggered by external signals or by specific key presses.
Disadvantages:
More complex to implement.
Requires careful management of interrupt service routines (ISR).
KEYBOARD INTERFACING WITH 8051 5
2. Matrix Keyboard Scanning
A matrix keyboard consists of rows and columns of switches. Each key in the matrix
corresponds to a unique row-column combination. To detect which key is pressed:
The rows are scanned sequentially by applying a low (0) or high (1) voltage to one row at a
time.
The columns are monitored to detect which one is grounded (low) based on the pressed key.
Steps for Matrix Keyboard Scanning:
Set all rows to high (1).
Set one row to low (0) at a time.
Check each column to see if it reads low (0).
If a low signal is detected on a column, the corresponding key is pressed.
Repeat the process for all rows.
Example of a 4x4 Matrix Keyboard:
Keys are arranged in a 4x4 grid, with 4 rows and 4 columns.
Each key is identified by a unique combination of its row and column.
KEYBOARD INTERFACING WITH 8051 5

3. Debouncing Techniques
Mechanical switches, such as those in a keyboard, tend to produce multiple transitions when a key is pressed or released. This
phenomenon, known as key bounce, can lead to incorrect key detections. Debouncing is a technique used to ensure that only one valid
key press is registered.
Debouncing Methods:
Software Debouncing:
Wait for a short delay after detecting a key press or release, then check the key state again to ensure it's stable.
Hardware Debouncing:
Use components like capacitors or dedicated ICs (e.g., Schmitt triggers) to filter out the noise caused by bouncing.
Simple Software Debouncing:
After detecting a key press, wait for a brief period (e.g., 10-20 milliseconds) before checking again to confirm the key press.
KEYBOARD INTERFACING WITH 8051 5
Summary
1. Polling vs Interrupts:
Polling is simple but inefficient as it continuously checks the keyboard state.
Interrupts are more efficient, allowing the microcontroller to perform other tasks
while waiting for key presses.
2. Matrix Keyboard Scanning:
Scanning is done by sequentially setting rows to low and checking columns for a
key press.
3. Debouncing:
Software debouncing uses delays to filter out noise from key presses.
Hardware debouncing involves using capacitors or specific ICs.
COMPARISON OF 8086 AND 8051 5
KEYBOARD INTERFACING
Both the 8086 microprocessor and the 8051 microcontroller are popular in embedded
systems and computing applications, but their architectures and handling of keyboard
interfacing differ significantly. Here's a comparison of how each handles keyboard
interfacing, focusing on architecture, interrupt handling, complexity, and flexibility.

1. Architecture Differences
8086 Architecture:
General-Purpose Microprocessor: The 8086 is a 16-bit general-purpose microprocessor.
It requires external components, such as a keyboard interface and I/O ports, for
peripheral communication. The 8086 is not a microcontroller and lacks built-in I/O and
peripherals, meaning keyboard interfacing requires additional circuitry and interfacing
hardware (e.g., external I/O controllers, port expanders).
COMPARISON OF 8086 AND 8051 5
KEYBOARD INTERFACING
Memory and Addressing: The 8086 uses a segmented memory model with a 20-bit
address bus, allowing it to address up to 1 MB of memory. This makes it more suitable
for general computing tasks but introduces complexity in interfacing with peripherals.
I/O Management: The 8086 primarily relies on programmable I/O (PIO) devices or
custom external circuits for handling keyboard input. It uses interrupts (like INT 21h
for DOS and INT 16h for BIOS) but requires external interfacing hardware for real-time
keyboard scanning.

8051 Architecture:
Microcontroller: The 8051 is an 8-bit microcontroller that comes with built-in
peripherals such as timers, serial communication, and I/O ports. This makes it more
suited for embedded systems where simple input/output operations, such as
keyboard interfacing, are handled directly by the microcontroller.
COMPARISON OF 8086 AND 8051 5
KEYBOARD INTERFACING
Memory and Addressing: The 8051 has a 4 KB ROM and 128 bytes of RAM, with built-in I/O ports for
peripheral interfacing. These I/O ports make it easier to connect external devices like keyboards directly.
I/O Management: The 8051 microcontroller allows direct access to the I/O ports and uses internal
registers for peripheral management. It is more streamlined for handling keyboard input with fewer
external components, especially when using a matrix keyboard.
COMPARISON OF 8086 AND 8051 5
KEYBOARD INTERFACING
2. Interrupt Handling
8086 Interrupt Handling:
Software Interrupts: The 8086 supports a wide range of interrupts, including BIOS
(INT 10h, INT 16h) and DOS interrupts (INT 21h). These can be used for keyboard
input via INT 21h (AH=01h), but the handling is more manual and requires a
customized setup for real-time interrupt handling.
Interrupt Vector Table: The 8086 has a more complex interrupt vector table to
manage different interrupt sources. Each interrupt has a unique vector address,
and external hardware can be used to trigger interrupts for keyboard events.
Interrupt Service Routines (ISR): Custom ISRs must be written for each type of
interrupt. For example, a key press could generate an interrupt, and an ISR would
handle the scanning of the keyboard matrix and key detection.
COMPARISON OF 8086 AND 8051 5
KEYBOARD INTERFACING
8051 Interrupt Handling:
Built-in Interrupts: The 8051 has built-in interrupts, which makes it easier to handle
keyboard input directly. The 8051's external interrupts (INT0, INT1) or internal
interrupts like Timer Interrupts can be used to detect a key press.
Interrupts for Keyboard: The 8051 is more flexible when it comes to handling external
interrupts, such as those triggered by key presses from a matrix keyboard. The 8051
also has an interrupt priority scheme that can be used to manage different interrupt
sources effectively.
Interrupt Vector Table: The 8051 has a fixed interrupt vector table, with predefined
addresses for each interrupt type (external, timer, serial, etc.), making it simpler to set
up an interrupt service routine.

KEYBOARD INTERFACING CONCEPTS 6

Conclusion
8086: The 8086 is more suitable for general-purpose computing and complex systems where the keyboard interfacing can be customized through
external hardware and interrupts. Its complexity is higher due to the need for additional peripherals and custom software for keyboard scanning
and interrupt management.
8051: The 8051 microcontroller is better suited for embedded systems with simpler and more direct keyboard interfacing. It comes with built-in peripherals, including
I/O ports and interrupts, making it easier to interface with a matrix keyboard and handle input efficiently.
The 8051 is less complex and more straightforward for keyboard interfacing, while the 8086 provides higher flexibility and power but at the cost of
added complexity in handling keyboard input.
