Abstract

The present invention relates to a computer peripheral device having built-in expansion function, which comprises at least a multi-functional module integration circuit disposed inside the peripheral device. The multi-functional module integration circuit is composed of at least a microcontroller unit, a scanning module, a coordinate module, an audio conversion module and a memory card control module, and the I/O of each module is connected to a common bus. Accordingly, in addition to a basic peripheral function, e.g. keyboard input and/or trackball input function, the peripheral device can be expanded to have the functions for audio input/output conversion and read/write of memory card. As the I/O of each function module shares the common bus, when the functional module in the multi-functional module integration circuit is not totally utilized, the unused bus pins can be fully utilized by other modules.
