The
typical usage model is to locate the ECE1119/ECE1117 in the keyboard
assembly.
By
mounting the ECE1119/ECE1117 onto the keyboard assembly, the keyboard and touchpad/point stick
PS/2 signals and the backlight PWMs are routed from the keyboard to
the motherboard over a single BC-Link connection. In all other notebook
designs without BC companion device, the signals from the keyboard matrix,
PS/2 and LED are routed to the motherboard via a wide ribbon extension for
the keyboard switch circuit.
ECE1119
communicates to the upstream host via BC-Link or SMBus and provides up to
three downstream BC-LinkTM or SMBus ports to permit
communication between the upstream host and downstream companion devices.
