APPLICATION INFORMATION
Discrete Input Filtering
The DEI1184 Analog Front End provides a moderate level of noise immunity via a combination hysteresis and limited bandwidth.
The Hysteresis is 3 V minimum and the comparator bandwidth is approximately 10 MHZ.
Many applications provide additional noise immunity by means of debounce/filtering in software or in digital circuitry (i.e.:
FPGA). Common input debounce techniques are readily found with a web search of the term “software debounce” and range
from simple detectors of two or more sequential stable readings to FIR filters emulating RC time constants.
