(under subclass 21) Subject matter having a circuit to reduce the possibility of switching due to noise input instead of signal input.
(1) Note. An example of reducing noise in the time domain is using a low pass filter at the input to filter out high frequency noise.
(2) Note. An example of reducing noise in the amplitude domain is using a Schmitt trigger which uses a feedback mechanism to eliminate noise.
