Questions tagged [debounce]

When a mechanical switch closes it's contacts typically do not close "cleanly" and tend to bounce or chatter. This rapidly switching signal could be misread in certain situations so it is usual to attempt to reduce this bouncing to ensure a clean switch detection. the danger is that if the switch is not de-bounced you can detect multiple events from one opening or closing. Can be accomplished using analog circuits or digital circuits.

Triggering a signal on the falling edge of an input, and not re-triggering when it stays low

I have a 555 in monostable mode that will generate a signal from the transition to low from one of it's inputs (as they do). The issue I have is that the trigger will out last the signal by an order ...
