Abstract

A keyboard switch circuit comprises a first plurality of terminals associated with m rows and a second plurality of terminals associated n columns. A plurality of series circuits each including a reluctance element and a diode are connected between the terminals associated with the rows and the columns, respectively, in a manner to correspond with key switches. By applying input pulse signals to the terminals of the rows, a keyboard signal corresponding to a key depressed is derived in the form of pulses on the terminals associated with the columns.
