5-7-2-8 USB Hub
The USB connection arrives from the BEP. The USB hub drives the following devices:
• Keyboard controller
• Two general-purpose ports
(current up to 600 mA per port, over-current limit should be used).
5-7-2-9 Power Interface
Power to the keyboard is provided via the BEP keyboard connector.
Two different voltages are supplied to the keyboard:
1.) 3V standby for driving the power On/Off and status LEDs.
2.) 5V BE (Back End) is used for the remaining circuits.
The keyboard operates with ±5% voltage deviation on each supply.
The keyboard has current-limiting circuitry (implemented on the BEP), to protect it against excessive
current consumption (via the USB and/or short circuits).
5-7-2-10 Keyboard ID
The keyboard PCB contains an EEPROM which stores a variety of information about the keyboard such
as, GE part number, manufacturing date, and revision # of the PCB hardware.
The EEPROM size is 1KB.
