Method of operation
Signal states accepted as logical input signals usually remain
valid at least until the specified minimum signal duration has
expired. Change of edge within the minimum signal duration
are ignored (see Fig.A/2). Fixed debouncing times remain
effective.
Case 1: Change of edge within the signal extension
time
The logical CPI signal is supplied when the signal extension
time and, if applicable, the debouncing time has expired.
