Access control device

It is provided it is provided a keypad comprising: a voltage bus configured to distribute power in the keypad; and a plurality of keys: a plurality of row key connections; and a plurality of column key connections: A wake-up signal causes a microcontroller to transition from a low-power state to an active state such that the microcontroller can detect which one of the plurality of keys was actuated. Each key is connected to a single row key connection and a single column key connection. Each row key connection and/or each column key connection is provided with a respective port circuit that is configured to connect the key connection with keys of the keypad when the wake-up signal is activated. Each port circuit comprises a respective port switch that is turned off in the low-power state to disconnect the column key connections/row key connections from the keys of the keypad.
