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 7-1.
The filter setting for each input can be configured independently. On power
up, the filters are disabled. Figure 7-4 shows an example of a low to high
transition on an input that has its filter set to 125 ns (N = 5).
Figure 7-4. Filter Example
Enabling filters introduces jitter on the input signal. For the 125 ns and
6.425
μs filter settings, the jitter is up to 25 ns. On the 2.56 ms setting,
the jitter is up to 10.025
μs.
