KeyPadEncoder

// Encodes the ten keypad lines into a four-bit binary value.
// NOTES:
// 1. Higher digits have higher priority on multiple keypress
// 2. 'KeyValue' should not be used unless 'KeyIsPressed' is asserted

(
// Data inputs:
iD$KeyPad,			// Keypad lines (10-bit bus)

// Condition signals to controller:
oS$KeyIsPressed,	// Asserted when any key is pressed

// Data outputs:
oD$KeyValue			// Value of key that is pressed; only valid
						// when KeyIsPressed is asserted.
