Summary

Description
English: Tri-state multiplexing can be used to increase the number of keys detectable for a fixed number of inputs. With x/y multiplexing, 8 inputs can be used to detect 16 keys. However, 28 keys can be detected if tri-state multiplexing is used. If, in addition, a diode is used in series with each key, 8 I/O lines can be used to detect 56 keys. A complete 110 key computer keyboard can be implemented with just 11 I/O lines. Without diodes, tri-state multiplexing allows (n-1)(n/2) keys to be detected with n inputs.

Tri-state multiplexing allows more keys to be detected with less I/O connections.
