CHAPTER 4:--- Input And Output Devices

Keyboard
A keyboard's primary function is to act as an input device.
Using a keyboard a person can type a document, use keystroke
shortcuts, access menus, play games and perform a variety of other
tasks.

Input text and character


Control the operation of computer
Computer keyboard
Modeled after typewriter keyboard.
different keys depending on the manufacturer and the OS
Designed and governed by ISO 9995 international standard.
original keyboard IBM/PC/XT had 83 keys

Keyboard has following components: Keyboard Switches


Keyboard Circuitry
Key matrix

Keyboard Switches

Main component of keyboard


convert our typing action into proper signal for keyboard interface
interfaces will know that key is depressed
In most of the computer Membrane switches are used.

CHAPTER 4:--- Input And Output Devices

Types of Keyboard Switches

Capacitive switch
Hall effect switch
Opto electronic switch
Membrane switch
Mechanical switch

1.Capacitive switch
two metal plates are used one plate is fixed(TOP) and another is
movable(bottom)
When key is pressed plates comes closer
When key is released plates move away
When the plates come closer or move away the capacitance of the
switch is changed.
sense amplifier measure the voltage change across the switch.
Sense amplifier receive one voltage when switch is in open position
another voltage when switch is in closed position.
voltages are converted into proper logic signal (keyboard circuitry)
to inform CPU
lifespan of about 20 millions keystrokes.

CHAPTER 4:--- Input And Output Devices

2.Hall effect switch


This switches are based on the HALL EFFECT which specifies that
When magnetic field is applied to any device perpendicular to
the direction of the current flow inside the device ,the resistance
of the device increases and when this magnetic field is removed
the resistance decreases so current starts to flow without any
resistance.
This effect can be used as a switch to turn current flow on or off.
The current flow can be turned off by applying a very strong
magnetic field to completely block the current flow through the
device.
Lifespan of switch is about 1oo million keystroke

Page 3

CHAPTER 4:--- Input And Output Devices

3.Opto Electronic Switch

LED and Phototransistor are used.


LED which generate light when proper electric power is applied
opposite to LED phototransistor is used
Phototransistor allows the current as long as light is applied to it
if light falling to phototransistor is removed then current not flow
when key is not press ,light fall onto phototransistor, current flow
through the phototransistor and produced very low voltage at
the output Vout
when key is depressed light emitted from LED is blocked, Stop
current flow through phototransistor ,different value is produced
at the output Vout

CHAPTER 4:--- Input And Output Devices

4.Membrane Switch

it is multilayer plastic or rubber assembly


two rubber or plastic sheet are used as row and column conductor
sheet
row and column sheet having lines made up of silver or some
other conductor ink
This row and column sheet separated by another sheet with holes
at key top position
When Key top pressed- it forces the row conductor sheet through
the hole to touch the column conductor sheet
Row conductor lines now touches with column conductor lines
,key contact is made
Keyboard interface interpreted as key is pressed.

Page 5

CHAPTER 4:--- Input And Output Devices

5.Mechanical Switch

This is one of the most common types of switches.


In this type of switches, two Metal pieces or contacts are used.
When key is not pressed contact is in open position
When key is depressed some mechanical action close the contact
and this closure sensed by the keyboard interface at the location
X.
This type of switches works when contact closed, these contact
becomes oxidized or dirty and make switches useless.
To improve lifespan of switch gold plating done on this contact
Life of switch is around 1 million keystroke.

CHAPTER 4:--- Input And Output Devices

Keyboard circuitry or Processor: 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.
The keyboard controller is single chip microcomputer
(8042,8048,8049)
The circuitry has processor , RAM , ROM inside the chip.
ROM is programmed to control different operations of keyboard

Key matrix
The key matrix is a grid of circuits underneath the keys.
In all keyboards each circuit is broken at a point below each key.
The keyboard switch matrix is often drawn with horizontal wires
and vertical wires in a grid which is called a matrix circuit
When key is press, it presses a switch, completing the circuit and
allowing a tiny amount of current to flow through.
The mechanical action of the switch causes some vibration, called
bounce, the processor filters out.
Page 7

CHAPTER 4:--- Input And Output Devices


When the processor finds a circuit that is closed, it compares the
location of that circuit on the key matrix to the character map in its
read-only memory (ROM).
A character map is basically a comparison chart or lookup table.
It tells the processor the position of each key in the matrix and what
each keystroke or combination of keystrokes represents.
For example, the character map lets the processor know that
pressing the key by itself corresponds to a small letter "a," but the
Shift and a keys pressed together correspond to a capital "A."

Keyboard Working
When Key is pressed pushes rubber dome dome touches a pair of
conductive lines on the circuit.
Allow current to flow ,changing signal strength
Chip scan a signal along with the pairs of lines to all the keys
signal in one pair becomes different
Then Chip generate make code
Then Code send to the computer via keyboard cable
Page 8

CHAPTER 4:--- Input And Output Devices


Chip inside computer receive signal bits
Decode into appropriate key press event or character
When Key is released , break code is send by keyboard To indicate
key is released.

Debouncing: When key press contact is made


Output from switch bounces for few milli secs before setting down
to proper signal
If these signals are fed to computer without any proper condition
Computer may treat this as multiple key press
to avoid this ,keyboard use a very small delay after key press and
then rereads the same key
If key is still depressed then interface treats it as multiple key press

Less maintenance and cleaning needed
Small camera inside mouse takes thousands of snapshot pictures
in every second

Page 17

CHAPTER 4:--- Input And Output Devices


LED provides light underneath the mouse

LED produces red light that is emitted onto a surface


Light reflected off the surface back to the CMOS sensor
(complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor)
CMOS sensor sends each image DSP (Digital signal processor) for
analysis
DSP detects patterns in the images and examines how the
patterns have moved since the previous image. (thousands of
images)
Based on the change in patterns over a sequence of images, the
DSP determines how far the mouse has moved and sends the
corresponding coordinates to the computer.
The computer moves the cursor on the screen based on the
coordinates received from the mouse.
This happens hundreds of times each second, making the cursor
appear to move very smoothly.
Page 18

CHAPTER 4:--- Input And Output Devices

Advantages of optical mouse:--- No moving parts means less wear and a lower chance of failure.
There's no way for dirt to get inside the mouse and interfere with
the tracking sensors.
Increased tracking resolution means a smoother response.
They don't require a special surface, such as a mouse pad.

light source(lamp) illuminate a piece of paper placed face down


against glass window (lamp in newer scanners is either a cold cathode
fluorescent lamp (CCFL) or a xenon lamp , while older scanners may
have a standard fluorescent lamp . )
2.A motor moves the scan head beneath the page (The entire
mechanism (mirrors, lens, filter and CCD array) make up the scan head.)
3.The scan head is moved slowly across the document by a belt that is
attached to a stepper motor.
4. scan head captures light reflected from areas of the page, reflected
through system mirrors (one mirror to another mirror. In some
scanners, there are only two mirrors while others use a three mirror
approach),The last mirror reflects the image onto a lens.
1.

5.Lens focuses a single line of the image onto CCD ,the CCD contain a
row of light detector, as light shines onto these detectors, each detect
the amount of light as voltage level .(the beam of light onto lightsensitive diodes translate light into electrical current)
6.The voltage generated by CCD are sent to ADC
7.black or white spaces reflect more light then black or colored letters
or images more light reflected ,greater the voltage of the current
8.ADC converts each analog reading of voltage as digital pixel
representing the scanned area , ADC monochrome scanner stores only
1 bit per pixel representing black or white . Scanner is colored then scan
head makes three passes under the images Light on each pass is
directed through red , green , blue filter before strikes the original
image. reflected signals are converted into digital information

5.Memory:-2MB to 4MB
6.Media type supported:-Paper,transparencies,envelopes.

Page 31

CHAPTER 4:--- Input And Output Devices

Ink pumped through nozzle pass through charged electrode due this
nozzle breaks the ink into droplets then pass through deflecting plates
and then deposited on paper forming character drop by drop.Excess ink
drops are collected at gutter.

Page 32

CHAPTER 4:--- Input And Output Devices

WORKING:--- An ink filled cartridge attached to the Inkjets print head moves
sideways across the width of sheet of paper.
The print head is made up of small ink-filled chambers, each
attached to a nozzle smaller than a human hair.
An electrical pulse flows through a heating element.
When an electrical current flows through the resistor, the register
heats a thin layer of ink at the bottom of the chamber to more
than 9000 Fahrenheit and forms small bubble of vapor.
As this vapor bubble expands, it pushes ink through the nozzle to
form a droplet at the tip of the nozzle.
When the bubble further expands, the ink droplet overcomes the
surface tension of the ink and the pressure of the bubble forces
the droplet on the paper.
As the resistor cools, the bubble collapses and the resulting
suction pulls fresh ink from the attached reservoir into the ink
chamber.

Advantages:
1.Silent in operation
2.high quality output
3.support color printing

c.IMAGE FORMATION SYSTEM:


To form an image on the paper a Laser requires electronics,
mechanical, optical, electro-photographical etc. many different
technologies.
Inside a Laser printer the image formation process revolved around
an OPC drum(Organic Photo Conductive)
The complete image formation process(6 steps) :
1. Clearing the OPC Drum.
2. Conditioning of the OPC Drum.
3. Electro statically writing the image onto the OPC Drum.
4. Developing the image on the OPC Drum.
5. Transferring of the image from OPC Drum to the paper.
6. Fusing the image on the paper.

Page 36

CHAPTER 4:--- Input And Output Devices

1.CLEANING THE OPC DRUM


Before transferring any image to the OPC Drums surface, the
surface needs to be cleaned and prepared to hold the image being
transferred.
The drums surface cleaned physically to removed any trace of the
old toner particle from the previous printing operation and it is
cleaned electro statically to remove any charge on the drums
surface from the last printing.

Page 37

CHAPTER 4:--- Input And Output Devices

2.CONDITIONING OF THE OPC DRUM


Once the drum surface is cleaned , then uniform charge of 600 V is
applied to the complete surface of the OPC Drum. This is done by a
primary corona assembly.
This high charge creates a corona effect on the surface of the OPC
Drum.

3.WRITING OF IMAGE ON THE OPC DRUM


Once the drum is through the conditioning process its surface has a
uniform 600V potential. To write any info on this drum , Laser
beam is focused on the selected areas of the drum.
The image created by the Laser beam on the OPC drum; this image
is called a latent electrostatic image. This image is later developed
into a visible image.

4.DEVELOPING OF THE IMAGE ON THE OPC DRUM


Once the writing of the electrostatic image on the OPC drum is over,
next to develop this latent image into a visible image.
To convert the latent image into visible image, the toner is
transferred to the discharged areas of the drum. This develops the
image of the OPC drum using the toner particles.

5.TRANSFER OF THE IMAGE FROM OPC DRUM TO


PAPER
Once the image is developed or generated on the OPC drum using
toner particles, then this image is to be transferred to the paper or
some other O/P medium.
Page 38

CHAPTER 4:--- Input And Output Devices


In this a transfer roller positive charge is given to the paper, the
positive charges applied to the paper is stronger than the charge on
the OPC drum, this makes the vely charged toner particles to be
pulled off from the drum to the paper. And image is transferred on
paper.
Once the paper moves to the fusing section , the OPC drum rotates
back to the cleaning section to prepare it to receive the print.

6.FUSING OF THE IMAGE TO THE PAPER


The fusing section melts the toner ink and fuses it on the printing
media(paper) by applying head and pressure. This makes the image
permanent and print paper outputted.

d.Paper pickup/delivery system:

Responsible for:
Picking the paper from input tray
Delivering the paper to the image formation system
Feeding it to the fusing station
Delivering it to the output tray

CHAPTER 4:--- Input And Output Devices

MODEM
Modem is an important input/output device
converts digital data from a computer to analog data for
transmission over the telephone line by modulating it into wave
at the other end, the modem converts the analog data back to the
digital form.
There are two type of MODEMs :
A] Internal Modem
B] External Modem

Page 42

CHAPTER 4:--- Input And Output Devices


In internal modem UART is Universal Synchronization Receiver /
Transmitter and it works here logically as Serial port.
The UART converts the information from bytes to bits.
A Modulator circuit converts digital data from the computer into
analog signals to be transmitted over telephone line.
The analog signal then coupled to the telephone line and this analog
signal passes to the telephone line through telephone Jack.
At the receiver end the analog signal is received from the telephone
jack.
This signal is then scattered into the telephone interface and passes
to the demodulated circuit.
A Demodulator circuit converts analog data into digital signals and it
transmitted to the UART.
UART converts this bit information into bytes and send to the
receiver.

Page 43

CHAPTER 4:--- Input And Output Devices

External modem is a standalone device connected to serial port


(COM1 or COM@) of device.
Working of External modem is as same as internal modem.
The difference is that it uses standard serial interface RS 232C, so
that it uses motherboard UART for serial bit to parallel byteor
parallel byte to serial bit conversion.
