Abstract
An ADC (analog digital converter) keypad apparatus controls key inputs according to a voltage divided by a plurality of voltage dividing resistors. The ADC keypad apparatus includes an ADC keypad, an A/D converter for converting a divided voltage which is determined according to a key input, a memory for storing key discriminating data, a display for displaying status information, and a controller for re-establishing the key discriminating data. Upon receiving a key re-establishing signal from the A/D converter due to a change of the divided voltage, the controller provides the display with a display signal for displaying the status information and re-establishes the key discriminating data.
