X Series User Manual
Assume that an input terminal has been low for a long time. The input terminal then changes
from low to high, but glitches several times. When the filter clock has sampled the signal high
on N consecutive edges, the low to high transition is propagated to the rest of the circuit. The
value of N depends on the filter setting; refer to Table 8-1.
The filter setting for each input can be configured independently. On power up, the filters are
disabled. Figure 8-3 shows an example of a low to high transition on an input that has a custom
filter set to N = 5.
Figure 8-3. Filter Example
Enabling filters introduces jitter on the input signal. The maximum jitter is one period of the
timebase.
When a RTSI input is routed directly to PFI, the X Series device does not use the filtered version
of the input signal.
