Key scan device, TCA8418, can generate interrupt output signal using 3-key combination to free up processor from scanning keys for presses/releases while conserving power and bandwidth. Integrated oscillator debounces at 50 µs and maintains 10-byte FIFO of key-press and key-release events, enabling storage of up to 10 keys with overflow wrap capability. Also, 18 GPIO can be configured into 8 inputs and 10 outputs supporting 8 x 10 key array (80 buttons) through I²C(TM) interface.
