INTRODUCTION
It is an input device. Its design came from typewriters that did not use electricity. A person can type a document, access menus, play games and perform variety of other tasks Keys, called Keycaps are the same size and Shape from keyboard to keyboard. These are also placed at the similar distance from one another in a similar pattern.

INTRODUCTION

HOW A KEYBOARD WORKS


A keyboard is a lot like a miniature computer. It has its own processor and circuitry that carries information to and from that processor. A large part of this circuitry makes up the key matrix.

HOW A KEYBOARD WORKS


When you press a key:

Copyright Arvind Sardar . All rights reserved

The keyboard controller detects the keystroke. The controller places a scan code in the keyboard buffer, indicating which key was pressed. The keyboard sends the computer an interrupt request, telling the CPU to accept the keystroke.

FROM THE KEYBOARD TO THE COMPUTER


The

processor in the keyboard is analyzing the key matrix and determining what characters to send to the computer. It maintains these characters in a buffer of memory that is usually about 16 bytes large. It then sends the data in a stream to the computer via some type of connection. type keyboard connector.

TYPES OF KEYBOARD SWETCHES


Capacitive Switch

Two plates of capacitor are brought closer


when the key Is pressed. As the two plates move closer together, the amount of current flowing through the matrix changes.

The processor detects the change and interprets it as a key press for that location.
Capacitive switch keyboards are expensive, but they have a longer life than any other keyboard. Also, they do not have problems with bounce since the two surfaces never come into actual contact.

TYPES OF KEYBOARD SWETCHES


Membrane Switch

Flat-panel membrane keyboards are most often found on appliances like microwave ovens or photocopiers.
A common design consists of three layers.

The top layer (and the one the user touches) has the labels printed
on its front and conductive stripes printed on the back. Under this it has a spacer layer, which holds the front and back

layer apart so that they do not normally make electrical contact.

The back layer has conductive stripes printed perpendicularly to those of the front layer.

When placed together, the stripes form a grid.

When the user pushes down at a particular position, their finger pushes the front layer down through the spacer layer to close a circuit at one of the intersections of the grid. Typical applications include; Industrial controls Access control systems Medical equipment Telecommunications Telephone systems Household appliances Security systems

TYPES OF KEYBOARD SWETCHES


Rubber Dome Switch

Dome-switch keyboards are a hybrid of flat-panel membrane and mechanical keyboards. They use small, flexible rubber domes, each with a hard carbon center. When you press a key, a plunger on the bottom of the key pushes down against the dome, and the carbon center presses against a hard, flat surface beneath the key matrix. As long as the key is held, the carbon center completes the circuit. When the key is released, the rubber dome springs back to its original shape, forcing the key back up to its atrest position.

Rubber Dome Switch

Rubber dome switch keyboards are inexpensive, have pretty good tactile response and are fairly resistant to spills and corrosion because of the rubber layer covering the key matrix.

TYPES OF KEYBOARD SWETCHES


Opto-Electronics Switch Have LED which generates light when proper electric power is supplied. Opposite to the LED, A Phoito-transitor is used. The property of Phoito-transitor is the it allow the current flow in the circuit , as long as light is applied to it, when light falling to Phoito-transitor is removed, it will no longer allow the current to pass through it.
23

INTERFACING

Copyright Arvind Sardar . All rights reserved

A keypad consists of a number of key switches arranged in a

matrix of rows and columns.

In small matrices, rows and columns are connected directly

to the microprocessor I/O lines. In large matrices, decoders


are used to save the number of I/O lines used.

For a 4 4 Hex keypad, there are four rows and four columns.

The rows are high since they are connected to +5V. To


identify a pressed key, the technique is to send a logic 0 on each column, one at a time, then find out which row as a low

logic. The combination of having logic 0 for both column and


row will identify which key is pressed.
24

INTERFACING

Copyright Arvind Sardar . All rights reserved

A logic 0 is sent down on column 0 first.

If a logic 0 is detected at row 0, it means that key-0 has been pressed. If a logic 0 is detected at row 1, it means that key-4 has been pressed. The process is repeated for all 4 rows.
Then a logic 0 is sent down on column 1 and try to find out which row received this signal and thus which key has been pressed. The same is repeated for column 2 and 3. Note: The pull-up resistors are not built-in inside keypad, they are all external components. the

25

SWITCH BOUNCE

Copyright Arvind Sardar . All rights reserved

Mechanical switches tend to bounce. When the switch makes or breaks, it makes a number of very rapid make and break actions before the contacts become stable.
This bouncing tells the microprocessor that the switch has been pressed a few times instead of once which means that false information has been sent to the MCU and misled it. To debounce a switch, a software time delay is used that provides a time delay (20~30 ms) longer than the duration of the switch bouncing action.

OPTO- MECHNICAL MOUSE

An Optomechanical or optical-mechanical mouse is same as the mechanical mouse except that the sensors used in it are

optical and not mechanical. The device is a combination of


optical and mechanical technologies, wherein, the ball is

present but the mouse movement is detected optically leading to more accuracy.

37

OPTICAL MOUSE

Copyright Arvind Sardar . All rights reserved

An optical computer mouse uses a light-emitting diode and photodiodes to detect movement relative to a surface, unlike a mechanical mouse which has a ball which rotates orthogonal shafts which drive chopper wheels for distance measurement. The main components of the optical mouse are: Inbuilt optical sensor High speed camera which can take 1000 pictures at a time LED

38

OPTICAL MOUSE - WORKING

Copyright Arvind Sardar . All rights reserved

These optical mouse do have an inbulit optical sensor. The optical sensor reads the movements of the optical mouse (moved by the user) with the help of the light rays which comes out from the bottom. When the user moves the optical mouse, the LED (Light Emitting Diode) present inside the mouse emits the light according the minute movements. These movements are send to the camera as light rays. The camera captures the difference in light rays as images. When the camera captures the images, each and every pictures and compared to one another with the digital technology. With the comparison, the speed of the mouse and the direction of the movement of the mouse are rapidly calculated. According to the calculation, the pointer moves on the screen.

COMPARISON BETWEEN A ROLLER/BALL MOUSE AND OPTICAL MOUSE:

Copyright Arvind Sardar . All rights reserved

The optical mouse does not have any movable parts as of the ball mouse. So, the life of the optical mouse is long compared to the ordinary mouse. Since the mouse works with the sensor recognition, the movements are clearly captured and so the moves gives out a same function in all moves. Since the ball is absent in the optical mouse, the weight of the optical mouse is less than that of the ball mouse. The dust clustering problem is abolished in the optical mouse as its parts are all static.

The optical mouse can also function good without a mouse pad, which is impossible with ordinary mouses.Any way, optical mouses cannot be used above reflecting glasses or any glass materials.

MODEM

Copyright Arvind Sardar . All rights reserved

Modem Short for modulator-demodulator. A modem is a device or program that enables a computer to transmit data over, for example, telephone or cable lines. Computer information is stored digitally, whereas information transmitted over telephone lines is transmitted in the form of analog waves. A modem converts between these two forms.

An input/output device that converts digital data from a computer to analog data for transmission over the telephone lines by modulating it into waves; at the other end, the modem converts the analog data back to digital form so that it can be read by the computer. Modems are made for different frequencies from 28.8k bps to 56k bps (bps Bit Per Second) There is one standard interface for connecting external modems to computers called RS-232. Types of modem There are two types of modem Internal modem External Modem
63

MODEM
1. Internal Modem:

Copyright Arvind Sardar . All rights reserved

Internal modems are built into the motherboard or a circuit board that plugs into an expansion slot inside a computer. Internal modems are also known as analog or dial-up modems. Modern analog modems transfer information at about 56 kilobits per second (56K) over a telephone line. Analog dial-up modems are susceptible to phone-line noise or interference from electrical devices and slower internet connection speeds. However, 56K dial-up modems can be used anywhere a phone line is available.

2. External Modem: The modem which is placed outside the computer is called External Modem. External modems are portable devices that you can attach to a serial or USB (Universal Serial Bus) port on your computer. External modems can be disconnected from your computer and used with other computers.

PRINTER

A printer produces a paper copy of information generated by a computer.

Printers fall into two categories:

Impact printers use a device to strike an inked ribbon, pressing ink from the ribbon onto the paper. Non-impact printers use different methods to place ink (or another substance) on the page.

Dot matrix printer Dot-matrix printers were once very popular, but have been replaced in popularity by ink-jet p5rinters. Dot-matrix printers typically use continuous form multipart paper and are commonly used for documents such as sales invoices and purchase orders. Inside a dot-matrix printer a print head containing small blunt pins strikes an inked ribbon to stamp images on a page.

Dot Matrix:
Been around since the first PCs. Use mechanical means to press ink from ribbon onto page.

9 or 24 pin print head


9pins == low quality and 24 pin has smaller pins close to each other giving better quality print (Near Letter Quality (NQL). Various size and shape ribbon cartridges Multipart forms: Carbonless paper forms keep these printers around. Tractor feed and friction feed Uses a sprocket to mesh with holes in the side of continuous form paper. Typewriters use friction feed.

TYPES OF PRINTERS CONT.


Dot-matrix printers are two important characteristics :

Copyright Arvind Sardar . All rights reserved

Speed : Given in characters per second (cps), the speed can vary from about 50 to over 500 cps. Most dotmatrix printers offer differen speeds depending on the quality of print desired. Print Quality : Determined by the number of pins (the mechanisms that print the dots), it can vary from 9 to 24. The best dot-matrix printers (24 pins) can produce near letter-quality type, although you can still see a difference if you look closely.

Advantages :

can print on multi-part stationery or make carbon copies. Impact printers have one of the lowest printing costs per page. They are able to use continuous paper rather than requiring individual sheets. The ink ribbon also does not easily dry out.

Disadvantages :

Impact printers are usually noisy. They can only print low resolution graphics, with limited colour performance, limited quality and comparatively low speed. They are prone to bent pins (and therefore a destroyed printhead) caused by printing a character half-on and half-off the label.

Ink-jet Printer An ink-jet printer produces high-quality documents at a relatively low price. You can use the documents produced by an inkjet printer in most circumstances, except when only the highest quality is acceptable, such as for important business correspondence.
An ink-jet printer sprays ink through small nozzles onto a page to produce images.

Laser Printer A laser printer is a high-speed printer that is ideal for business documents and graphics. Laser printers produce the highest quality images, but are relatively expensive.

A laser printer works like a photocopier to produce images on a page. A laser beam draws images on a light-sensitive drum. The drum picks up a fine powdered ink called toner, and then transfers the toner to the paper to create the images. Laser printers produce higher-quality print than ink jet printers, but are more expensive. 79
