Scan and decodes 3x4 and 4x4 matrix keypad and output results through a
4-bit port. Features a 1 bit security output that can be activated by entering a
preprogrammed pass code. This kit is the improved replacement of our cur-
rent keyboard decoder kit. Operate with 8-12V power supply.

Table 1. Universal Keypad Binary Input Details.
In the illustraon above (Figure 3.) It shows how the the keypad input decoded into binary and that
binary produces output, lets assume that the 1 in the binary code is the acve one, it is the one that pro-
duces output, and assume that 0 binary code is the idle one and when everything is in idle mode it doesnt
do anything or it doesnt produce output.
The D0-D3 Output will vary depending on the binary code of the character entered, if the characters binary
code Characters binary code as follows:
Figure 3. Binary Output illustraon, how D0 - D3 Produces Output.
1 = Acve
0 = Idle
